As they look to bolster their playoff push, they have made a critical Hunter Greene <a href="https://twitter.com/Reds/status/1691903323694125207?s=20" rel="noopener">decision for Sunday’s game against</a> the Toronto Blue Jays, reports the Reds official Twitter account.</p><p>“#Reds RHP Hunter Greene is scheduled to start Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays.”</p><p>Hunter Greene has been out for the Reds for over the last two months with a hip injury that landed him on the IL. With the Reds now planning on starting him on Sunday, there is no doubt that fans will be coming out in droves to see his return.</p><p>The Reds currently find themselves 3.5 games back of the division leading Milwaukee Brewers and tied with the Chicago Cubs for second <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/4-reasons-the-chicago-cubs-will-win-the-nl-central-in-2019" rel="noopener">place in the NL Central</a>. At one point the Reds looked like the favorites for the division, but recent struggles have seen their record dip to 62-59 and all of the sudden they are fighting for not just a divisional title, but an NL Wild Card spot as well.</p><p>Despite the recent struggles in Cincinnati, getting Hunter Greene back will be a huge boost of morale for the Reds. Greene was having a pretty solid year in Cincinnati before going on the IL, and if he can round into form quickly, he will really help their playoff chances. Tune into the Reds battle against the Blue Jays on Sunday to see Greene return to the mound and do his best to help Cincinnati find the win column.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Instead, according to Wittenmyer, he’s going to begin a 4-6 week program in Arizona.</p><h2><b>Reds need pitching</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Reds-news-Cincinnati-gets-unfortunate-Hunter-Greene-injury-timeline-2.jpg"></figure><p>The Reds currently lead the National League Central. They have been one of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/reds-news-joey-votto-on-epic-12-game-winning-streak/" rel="noopener">hottest teams in baseball</a> over the past few weeks. However, Cincinnati unquestionably must add pitching depth if they want to hold onto their division lead and reach the playoffs. Even with Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo, who’s also injured, both out, Cincinnati still has pitching uncertainty.</p><p>With Greene and Lodolo both not expected to return until August, the Reds will need to make pitching-based moves ahead of the MLB trade deadline.</p><p>In 2023, Greene has pitched to the tune of a 3.93 ERA across 14 starts. He struck out 100 batters and walked 31 as well. Greene’s velocity is impressive, but he’s still working on commanding the strike zone. Regardless, the Reds are obviously hopeful he can return as soon as possible. Perhaps Greene will upset his injury timeline and make an appearance in July at some point.</p><p>As long as the Reds continue to stay alive in the NL Central, which shouldn’t be hard given the overall underwhelming performance of the division, Cincinnati will be fine moving forward.</p><p>We will continue to monitor and provide updates on the Reds as they are made available.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Nor should it be given their 26-30 record and just a general lack of excitement surrounding the franchise the last few years. When Hunter Greene is pitching, though, this team is must-see for baseball fans.</p><p>In fact, those who tuned into Thursday’s road game against the Boston Red Sox witnessed the 23-year-old flamethrower enter rarefied air. En route to drawing a no decision in Cincinnati’s 8-2 loss, Greene threw eight strikeouts to become the fourth fastest pitchers to <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/1664421821041766401?cxt=HHwWgsDT-fy0m5kuAAAA" rel="noopener">record 250 career Ks</a> as a starter, according to ESPN Stats &amp; Info. Only Spencer Strider, Corbin Burnes and Kerry Wood reached that milestone faster than this rising hurler, since the mound was moved in 1893.</p><p>Strider leads the MLB with a whopping 106 strikeouts in just under 64 innings pitched. Burnes hit the mark during his 2021 Cy Young season. And Wood tied the record for most Ks in a single game with 20 in his rookie season. Those are all strong indicators that Greene could be an absolute force in the years to come. Perhaps even this year.</p><p>The No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 MLB Draft weathered some early growing pains in his 2022 rookie campaign before harnessing more control over his highly acclaimed fastball. He has been spotty in 2023 but looks to be taking the next step with a 3.92 ERA in 12 starts. His 88 strikeouts rank fifth in baseball and will continue to be the prominent feature in the young righty’s game.</p><p>The Reds clearly see abundant promise in him, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/reds-news-cincinnati-makes-bold-hunter-greene-contract-extension" rel="noopener">locking up Hunter Greene</a> to a six-year, $53 million contract in April. Regardless of the team’s current outlook, fans can take solace in knowing that their guy is doing things only a few All-Star and Cy Young-caliber pitchers have accomplished in the last 130 years.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But as the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/reds-news-cincinnati-makes-bold-hunter-greene-contract-extension" rel="noopener">Reds look towards</a> the future, Cincinnati wants to ensure Greene isn’t the only pitcher sticking around for a while.</p><p>The Reds <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/04/20/reds-turn-attention-to-nick-lodolo-after-hunter-greene-deal/" rel="noopener">are trying</a> to sign Nick Lodolo to an extension, via Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Lodolo is under team control through the 2027 season and is eligible for arbitration beginning in 2025. However, before going through any contractual hoops, the Reds are looking to lock up Lodolo to form a future potentially dominant 1-2 punch with Greene.</p><p>Nick Lodolo was drafted by Cincinnati with the seventh overall pick in the 2019 MLB Draft. The left-hander made his big league debut in 2022, starting 19 games. Lodolo put up a 4-7 record with a 3.66 ERA and a 131/39 K/BB ratio over his first 103.1 major league innings.</p><p>Lodolo dealt with a back injury through his rookie season. He entered 2023 healthy and has already pitched four games for the Reds. He holds a 2-1 record with a 4.98 ERA and a 31/7 K/BB ratio. Lodolo allowed two runs or less in his first three starts of the season. His 4.2 inning eight-run performance in his last outing has elevated his ERA.</p><p>Still, the former first-round pick has shown massive improvement in year two. His strikeout numbers still look superb as he has continued to limit the walks. Cincinnati has clearly noticed Lodolo’s potential. After locking up Hunter Greene, the Reds will turn to Lodolo and look to lock down another key part of their rotation of the future.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Upon signing his name, Greene made it clear that <a href="https://twitter.com/HunterGreene17/status/1648671706494517251" rel="noopener">he is proud</a> to be a Cincinnati Red.</p><p>“Huge shoutout to my team of agents (CAA Baseball) Ryan, Amber, Evan, the whole $ team &amp; the (Reds) front office,” Greene tweeted. “I’ve been dreaming of this since I was 6 years old.
