Hunter Greene's Second Tommy John Surgery Drops a Promising Pitcher Back to Question Marks

Hunter Greene, once hailed as baseball’s next big thing and featured on Sports Illustrated’s cover, has announced a second Tommy John surgery that will sideline him for the rest of 2026 and all of 2027. After a strong 2024–25 showing—including an All-Star season and career-best numbers—recurrent injuries (groin issues, elbow problems) and a 2026 elbow surgery led to a difficult season, culminating in this latest procedure. The six-year, $53 million Reds deal in 2023 underscored expectations he would rebound, but his body’s fragility has turned a potential breakout into a cautionary tale about the road back from multiple major surgeries.

Elbow setback shelves Reds pitcher Greene for 2027 season

Hunter Greene is expected to miss the entire 2027 season after a revision of his Tommy John surgery, with a return window of 12-18 months. After bone chips were removed in spring 2026 and just five starts in 2026, the Reds will lean on Chase Burns and Andrew Abbott while Greene’s $15 million 2027 salary (and a $21 million club option for 2029) shapes the club’s finances in a low-spending year.

Greene’s second Tommy John setback rocks Reds' rotation plans

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Greene, 27, will undergo a second Tommy John surgery, ending his 2026 season and likely sidelining him through 2027 (with a potential return in 2028). Greene previously had TJ in 2019, and this season he posted a 6.83 ERA as injuries limited him to a small number of starts. The injury compounds a Reds rotation that already faces questions after not spending heavily on free agents, casting doubt on Greene’s long-term role as a cornerstone.

Reds Star Hunter Greene Set for Elbow Surgery, Out Look Shifts to 2027

Reds Star Hunter Greene Set for Elbow Surgery, Out Look Shifts to 2027

Reds right-hander Hunter Greene will undergo elbow surgery to address a UCL issue; whether it’s a full Tommy John reconstruction or an internal brace will be determined once surgeons inspect the damage. Expect a long rehab, with a return likely around 12-14 months, pushing potential return past the 2027 season. This marks Greene’s second UCL procedure (he had Tommy John in 2019). His 2026 season was limited to 27 2/3 innings with a 6.83 ERA, and his absence compounds Cincinnati’s rotation planning as they look to 2027 with Burns, Abbott and others, and may influence offseason moves.

Reds Weigh Deadline Move as Hunter Greene Draws Heavy Trade Interest

Reds Weigh Deadline Move as Hunter Greene Draws Heavy Trade Interest

In a seller-friendly move, the Reds have reportedly told teams Hunter Greene is no longer available, signaling a possible deadline trade despite ongoing interest from multiple clubs. Greene’s high strikeout upside and affordable contract make him an attractive, controllable starter, though health and workload concerns linger. While several outlets have floated real trade chatter, any deal will hinge on the Reds receiving MLB-ready talent in return, with Elly De La Cruz among potential assets; if no compelling package emerges, Cincinnati could opt to keep Greene to solidify a rotation built around Burns and Abbott.

Greene Returns as Reds Shake Up Rotation and Roster

Reds activate ace Hunter Greene from the 60-day IL for his 2026 debut vs. the Orioles, designate outfielder Will Benson for assignment and option Chase Petty to Triple-A. Greene’s return comes after elbow bone chips surgery, on a timeline that beat the four-month projection. Cincinnati is amid a rough stretch and sits last in the NL Central, contemplating a six-man rotation while evaluating other starters. Benson’s DFA ends his four-season run with the club, with potential waivers or free-agent outcomes depending on whether he clears and his arbitration status.

Greene Injury Upends 2026 Fantasy SP Rankings

Rotoworld’s fantasy baseball rankings update for 2026 emphasizes a shaken top tier after Hunter Greene’s groin/hip/back injury, likely sidelining him until July.

The author reiterates he doesn’t rely on projections, instead evaluating tools, peripherals, and team context to gauge upside and risk for a 12-team format with IL spots.

Greene MRI Adds Uncertainty to Reds' Rotation

Reds ace Hunter Greene will undergo an MRI on his right elbow after renewed stiffness dating back to last season. He previously faced a recommended injection and has had bone spurs but reports his UCL is intact; a diagnosis from team physician Tim Kremchek with a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache will follow. While surgery hasn't been recommended, his availability for the season’s start is uncertain. Cincinnati’s rotation depth could be tested, with Andrew Abbott, Nick Lodolo, Brady Singer and prospects Chase Burns and Rhett Lowder in the mix, and the club signaling no immediate plans to sign additional free-agent starters.
