The Cincinnati Reds are expected to be without their top young pitcher for next season.
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer's Gordon Wittenmyer, Reds star pitcher Hunter Greene has undergone Tommy John surgery and has an estimated recovery timeline of 12 to 18 months.
Given this injury timeline, there is certainly a good chance that Greene will not be an option for the Reds during the 2027 season. When noting that he is a huge part of their rotation, this is undoubtedly tough news for the NL Central club.

Greene did not make his season debut for the Reds until July due to undergoing arthroscopic elbow surgery. Now, with this latest news, he is undergoing Tommy John surgery for the second time in his career.
Greene appeared in just five games this season with the Reds, where he posted a 2-2 record, a 6.83 ERA, and 33 strikeouts. This was after he had a 7-4 record, a 2.76 ERA, and 132 strikeouts during the 2025 season. He was also an MLB All-Star in 2024, posting a 9-5 record, a 2.75 ERA, and 169 strikeouts in 26 games.
With Greene undergoing Tommy John surgery, one of the Reds' top goals this offseason should be to improve their pitching rotation. It will be interesting to see what kind of moves they make this offseason from here.
