The Reds received some brutal injury news on Wednesday afternoon when they placed starting pitcher Hunter Greene on the injured list with elbow soreness, retroactive to August 2. In his five starts for the Reds this season, Greene is 2-2 with a 6.83 ERA to go along with 33 strikeouts in 27 1/3 innings pitched. While the club described the injury as right elbow soreness, any elbow issue involving Greene is sure to raise concern given his recent history. Whenever you hear about an elbow injury for a pitcher, the first thing that immediately comes to mind is Tommy John surgery. "It's important that this procedure take place now instead of trying to pitch through it, not be sharp on the mound and risk further injury," Greene wrote in a social media post.
