Overview

  • Greene exited Tuesday’s win after five innings and 85 pitches when he felt right groin discomfort just weeks after a similar strain sidelined him in May.
  • The Reds moved him to the 15-day injured list Wednesday morning without waiting for the MRI results scheduled that same day.
  • Wade Miley exercised his opt-out clause and agreed to a one-year major league contract that allows him to pitch out of the bullpen or slot into the rotation.
  • Manager Terry Francona said Miley is available in Wednesday’s finale against Milwaukee and could make his first start in the upcoming series at Cleveland.
  • Greene’s 4-3 record and 2.72 ERA through 11 starts this season highlight the challenge his absence poses to Cincinnati’s rotation depth.
