Greene has been on the 60-day injured list since undergoing surgery on March 11 to remove bone chips from his right elbow. He will now embark on what is likely to be a lengthy rehab assignment, which should consist of at least four or five starts. The hope is Greene will return in July before the All-Star break, but he has some boxes to check before that can take place.

Reds manager Terry Francona told reporters Hunter Greene could return before next month’s All-Star break.
