Last week, Greene left Spring Training with elbow stiffness. Reds manager Terry Francona and president of baseball operations Nick Krall told reporters he would have an MRI in Cincinnati and consult specialists.
As WCPO reported, Greene has previously dealt with similar issues in the past. He was placed on the IL in 2024 for right elbow soreness. He also mentioned that his right elbow was causing soreness toward the end of the 2025 season.
Greene was projected to be the Opening Day starter, but the team announced that Andrew Abbott will take the mound instead.
