Final Tune-Up? Cincinnati Reds Ace Hunter Greene Sees Mixed Results in  Rehab Start

In his Friday night rehab start for Triple-A Louisville, Greene allowed just two hits—both home runs—but surrendered five earned runs overall, walking three and striking out seven over 5 1/3 innings. He threw 52 of his 79 pitches for strikes.

The 26-year-old right-hander holds a 4-3 record with a 2.72 ERA and 73 strikeouts in 59 2/3 innings this season. If fully recovered, he could provide a significant boost to the Reds’ pitching rotation.
