Hunter Greene season-ending elbow surgery
Overview
In early August 2026 the Reds placed Greene on the 15‑day injured list for right elbow soreness, retroactive to Aug 2, and recalled Luis Mey. After five starts post‑July 4 (2‑2, 6.83 ERA), the club announced a second elbow operation—a repair of a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament—effectively ending his 2026 season and casting doubt on his 2027 availability.
Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall confirmed the season‑ending surgery on Aug 7, noting the ligament was failing. The procedure follows an arthroscopic surgery in March that removed bone chips. Greene finished his five starts with 33 strikeouts, nine walks over 27 2/3 innings. The Reds, sitting 56‑58 and fourth in the NL Central, will continue without their former 2024 All‑Star. Greene previously underwent Tommy John surgery in 2019 and has been regarded as the team's ace when healthy.
