Hunter Greene and Riley Greene face major MLB injury setbacks

MLB Hunter Greene Riley Greene Tommy John surgery injured list

Major injuries have struck two key players in Major League Baseball. Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Greene has undergone Tommy John surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. This is the second time Greene has undergone the procedure, having previously had the surgery in 2019. The procedure is expected to sideline him for the remainder of the 2026 season and potentially the entire 2027 season, with a recovery timeline of 12 to 18 months.

Separately, Detroit Tigers All-Star outfielder Riley Greene has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain. The injury occurred during a game against the Cleveland Guardians after Greene was hit by a pitch. To fill his spot on the active roster, the Tigers have selected the contract of outfielder Corey Julks from Triple-A Toledo and designated pitcher Troy Watson for assignment.
