Eligibility
Hunter Greene is scheduled to start on Sunday for the Reds against the Angels.
Fantasy Impact
Greene is looking to take another step forward on the mound with the Reds this season. He has been reportedly adding a splitter to his pitch mix this offseason.
Reds pitching coach Derek Johnson said Hunter Greene is working on a curveball and a splitter in camp.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson said these pitches are a way to change speeds and slow hitters down. Greene dealt with a hip injury last year, posting a 4.82 ERA across 112 innings when he was healthy.
Hunter Greene had a rough outing on Tuesday, allowing seven earned runs on eight hits in just three innings pitched against the Cleveland Guardians.
Fantasy Impact
Greene struggled with his command, issuing one walk while striking out three batters. This poor performance adds to his already mediocre season stats, which include a 4.71 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP. While Greene has shown flashes of potential with his impressive strikeout rate of 12.3 K/9, his inconsistency has hindered his overall fantasy value. Fantasy managers should approach Greene with caution moving forward, as his recent struggles raise concerns about his ability to consistently deliver quality starts.
Hunter Greene had an impressive outing on Wednesday, striking out 14 batters over seven innings of work.
Fantasy Impact
Despite his dominant performance, the Reds were unable to secure a win, falling to the Twins by a score of 5-3. Greene's season-long stats have been solid, with a 4.24 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and an impressive 12.4 K/9 rate. While his win-loss record may not reflect his abilities, Greene's high strikeout numbers make him a valuable fantasy asset going forward.
Hunter Greene had a mixed outing on Friday, striking out six batters over 5.2 innings but also allowing four hits, one walk, and three earned runs in a losing effort against the Mets.
Fantasy Impact
Despite his solid strikeout numbers, Greene's season-long struggles continued, as he now owns a 4.45 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP through 189 starts. With a 4.21 FIP and a 2.87 strikeout-to-walk ratio, there are some positive signs for Greene, but his high BABIP of .323 suggests he has been unlucky at times. Fantasy managers should proceed with caution when considering Greene for their lineups moving forward.
