Reds’ Hunter Greene Out for Season and Possibly 2027 After Tommy John Surgery
The Reds said the All-Star right-hander will miss 12 to 18 months after his second Tommy John surgery, leaving Cincinnati without its ace.
- On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Greene underwent his second Tommy John surgery, requiring 12-18 months of recovery and forcing him to miss the entire 2027 season.
- This marks Greene's second Tommy John procedure; he previously underwent the surgery in 2019 as a minor league prospect and missed three months in 2026 following an arthroscopic procedure to remove bone chips.
- Greene remains under contract through 2028 with a $21 million club option for 2029, while his salary increases from $8.3 million to $15.3 million in 2027.
- Management will rely on internal rotation depth including Chase Burns, Nick Lodolo, Rhett Lowder, and Andrew Abbott, with teammates expressing confidence this group can compete for a 2027 playoff spot.
- Despite losing their ace, the Cincinnati Reds maintain confidence in competing for a 2027 playoff appearance, with hard-throwing Burns anchoring the rotation after signing a seven-year, $105 million extension.
