    Hunter Greene struggled in a no-decision against the Pirates on Friday evening, allowing four runs on seven hits across his six frames.

    Greene punched out four batters in the contest while issuing a pair of walks. The Pirates got to him for two runs in the opening inning, then Greene allowed a solo homer to Jake Mangum in the second and a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. He generated 13 swings and misses on 91 pitches in the contest, posting a CSW of 27 percent. He’ll attempt to get back in the win column as he brings a 6.83 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and a 33/9 K/BB ratio (27 2/3 innings) into Thursday’s battle against the Athletics.
McClanahan could go on short IL stint
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan left his last start early with back tightness and Eric Samulski thinks a short trip to the IL is in the cards to let him rest for a potential trip to the postseason.

    We’re inclined to believe that Nightengale has this one correct. However, MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand reports that the Reds are still listening to offers and there’s a “50-50" chance that Greene is moved. It seemed a little far-fetched that the Reds were going to move on from Greene with multiple years left on his contract after reports surfaced earlier this week. Anything is possible and the emergence of Chase Burns as a certifiable front-of-the-rotation arm has probably made their decision easier.
  • CIN Starting Pitcher #21
    Greene is under contract for $15 million next season, $16 million in 2028, with a $21 million club option for 2029, so he is the type of controllable starting pitcher that teams would give up a haul for. He also has pitched poorly since coming back from elbow surgery and has some elevated injury risk due to his high velocity. He’s an absolute bargain at his current contract if he remains healthy, but perhaps the Reds are no longer willing to roll the dice on him staying on the mound.

    This was discouraging. Greene averaged just 97.2 mph with his fastball tonight. He was at 98.9 and 99.1 mph in his first two starts before slipping to 98.1 mph last week against the Rockies and losing another one mph tonight. This was the lowest he’s been since his final start of 2024. Last year, he never fell below 98.8 mph in his 19 starts. Greene ended up allowing eight hits and 11 hard-hit balls. He struck out just three. Maybe we’ll get some explanation for the diminished velocity, but there’s good reason for concern. He’s due to face the Pirates on Thursday.

    Greene gets his second win of the season in his third start of the season. It paled in comparison to the dominance he showed just prior to the All-Star break when he whiffed 12, but it was a solid-enough effort that saw Greene strike out seven. The only real issue was keeping the ball in the park, as he gave up two homers to Hunter Goodman, who ended up hitting three in the losing effort. Greene looks solid so far, and he’ll be back on the bump again next weekend against the Cardinals in St. Louis.

    Greene couldn’t have asked for a much better outing in this one. After a disastrous first start of the season his last time out, the hard-throwing righty held the Cubs in check all night, allowing just three hits over seven scoreless frames. Greene was lights out for the Reds on Friday, needing just 93 pitches to get through this outing while limiting himself to just one walk. He’ll get some time off with the All-Star Break just around the corner, but hopefully this start signals a strong second-half of the season for him.
  • CIN Starting Pitcher #21
    Greene’s velocity started out well tonight, but his 51 fastballs tonight produced one whiff on 21 swings and four hits, including a Samuel Basallo homer. It didn’t help that he went from averaging 100 mph in the first to 99 in the second and 98 in the third and fourth. At least he did get 14 whiffs with the slider and seven strikeouts overall. Greene will build endurance, but in his case, fastball shape has always been key to his success. Obviously, it’s not time to rush to judgment here when he’s really just four outings into his rehab. He’ll likely face the Cubs on Friday.

    Greene returns to Cincinnati’s rotation after missing the first three months of the season recovering from surgery to remove bone chips and loose bodies from his pitching elbow. The hard-throwing 26-year-old fantasy ace shouldn’t have any workload restrictions in his long-awaited season debut after throwing 82 pitches over 6 1/3 innings during his final rehab start for Triple-A Louisville last weekend. He’s struggled to stay healthy since arriving in the majors a couple years ago, but delivered a phenomenal 2.76 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 132/26 K/BB ratio across 107 2/3 innings last year, making him one of the more impactful arms in the fantasy landscape on a per-inning basis.

    Greene returns to spearhead Cincinnati’s rotation after missing the first three months of the season recovering from surgery to remove bone chips and loose bodies from his pitching elbow back in early March. The flame-throwing 26-year-old’s velocity was where it needed to be and he threw 82 pitches over 6 1/3 innings during his final rehab start for Triple-A Louisville last weekend. Needless to say, he’ll provide the Reds with a massive injection of life heading into the second half and should make a similar impact for fantasy managers.

    Greene will make his long-awaited season debut either Friday or Saturday against the Orioles. The hard-throwing 26-year-old fantasy ace got his pitch count up to 82 (54 strikes) across 6 1/3 innings during his final rehab outing for Triple-A Louisville over the weekend. His return should provide a massive jolt to Cincinnati’s rotation, and a big lift for fantasy managers as well. He’s been out since undergoing surgery to remove bone chips and loose bodies from his elbow back in early March.
  • CIN Starting Pitcher #21
    Greene punched out four batters in the contest and did not allow a base on balls. He threw 82 pitches, 54 of them for strikes, while cruising through 6 1/3 innings. It’s safe to say that he looks ready to rejoin the Reds’ rotation next week.

Messick struck out James McCann to start the fifth inning, but allowed three consecutive singles before he was removed. A throwing error by Rhys Hoskins accounted for the unearned run. Messick has a 2.57 ERA. He’s lined up to face the White Sox on the road next Friday.

    Luis Arraez is likely to start Sunday, according to manager Tony Vitello.

    Assuming that he’s not traded before then, Arraez apparently will play second base against the Padres. He left Friday’s game and didn’t play Saturday because of leg cramps.

    Kohl Drake gave up two runs in four innings and got a no-decision in the Diamondbacks’ 12-8 victory over the Guardians on Saturday.

    Drake gave up five hits, walked one and struck out six. Making just his third major league start, Drake was solid in his four innings. He allowed two runs, but struck out six batters. Drake isn’t quite a recommended fantasy starter, but this was a step in the right direction. He’s lined up to face the Padres at home on Thursday.

    Mason Miller said after his first blown save Saturday that he was dealing with a cut on a finger on his pitching hand.

    Miller apparently was hurt after entering the game in the eighth, but he was still throwing smoke in the ninth. It doesn’t look like it’ll turn into any sort of significant issue.

    Henry Bolte went 3-for-4 with a homer in a loss Saturday to the Tigers.

    Bolte’s homer was a three-run shot that cut the Tigers’ lead in half to 8-5. The 22-year-old also doubled and singled in one of his best games an MLB player thus far. The power production has been middle in his .350 slugging percentage, but a .257 average and .340 on-base percentage to pair with it is nothing to sneeze at.

    Kevin McGonigle went 3-for-4 with a homer run in a win over the Athletics on Saturday.

    On a night where Max Clark hit his first homer — and a night where the Tigers also traded away Tarik Skubal — McGonigle also showed out, as he has done for the majority of his rookie campaign. The 21-year-old hit a leadoff roundtripper off Jack Perkins to give Detroit an early 1-0 advantage, and it’s the 11th homer of the campaign. McGonigle also drew a walk, and a run-scoring single gave him a four-reach game while increasing his RBI total to 41. McGonigle has been fantastic in 2026, and there’s plenty of reasons to think he hasn’t reached anything close to his ceiling just yet. Even if this is it, it’s pretty dan good.

    Willson Contreras is likely to be in Sunday’s lineup after missing Saturday’s game against the Dodgers.

    Contreras left Friday’s game after being hit on the back of the helmet by a pitch, but he seems to have cleared concussion protocol, and it looks like he’ll miss just the one full contest.

    Andrew Abbott allowed three runs in five innings and took the loss against the Pirates on Saturday.

    Abbott gave up three hits, walked five and struck out one. He fell to 5-7 with the loss. A year after Abbott put up a 2.87 ERA, he predictably regressed and has a 3.91 ERA in 23 starts this year. He’s lined up to face the Nationals on the road on Friday.
