Reds' Ace Hunter Greene Shines in Rehab Start, Nearing MLB Return
3 Aug
Summary
- Hunter Greene makes third rehab appearance for Triple-A Louisville
- Throws 42 strikes out of 66 pitches, striking out 7 batters
- Reds are 58-54 and 4 games back in NL Wild Card race
As of August 4th, 2025, Cincinnati Reds ace Hunter Greene is nearing his return to the major league roster after an impressive rehab start for Triple-A Louisville this past Sunday. Greene, who has been sidelined for a couple of months with a groin strain, made his third rehab appearance and second with Louisville, throwing 42 strikes out of 66 pitches and striking out 7 batters over 3 1/3 innings.
Despite giving up 2 unearned runs on 3 hits, Greene's outing was a positive step in his recovery process. The 25-year-old flamethrower has been a key part of the Reds' rotation this season, posting a 2.72 ERA in 11 starts before the injury. His return to the big league club would be a significant boost for a Reds team that currently sits at 58-54, 4 games back in the National League Wild Card race.
The Reds are eagerly awaiting Greene's return as they make a push for the playoffs. His dominant stuff and leadership on the mound could be the difference-maker for a Cincinnati team looking to secure a postseason berth in the final stretch of the 2025 season.
