Fantasy Impact:
The good news is Greene isn't hurt. The 22-year-old totaled 106 1/3 innings between Double-A and Triple-A this minor league season, and the Reds simply want to play it safe with their prized prospect. It's the first time that Greene has pitched in September. He was dominant in seven starts at Double-A, turning 41 innings into a 1.98 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. Things were more inconsistent at Triple-A, where Greene registered a 4.13 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP. Still, he generated plenty of strikeouts at each level and routinely hit triple digits with his fastball. Greene will enter 2022 at a top-30 overall prospect with a chance to debut at some point next summer.
