The Cincinnati Reds are set to begin a three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night. Ahead of the game, Reds manager Terry Francona met with reporters and gave an injury update on Rhett Lowder, Hunter Greene, and Carson Spiers.
Greene, who is currently on the injured list with a groin strain, threw two innings with the ACL Reds this week, and the outing went smoothly. He is slated to continue his rehab with the Louisville Bats on Tuesday, where he’ll aim to throw about 55 pitches.
Rhett Lowder, who has been on the injured list with an oblique injury, has started throwing again, but his first bullpen session is not scheduled until August 17. Lowder has missed the entire season thus far.
Carson Spiers was returned from his rehab assignment with bicep soreness. Francona said there is some concern about the right-hander’s injury, but he is going to get a second opinion.

* "Things are, things are progressing really…— Mike Petraglia (@Trags) July 25, 2025
