Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene won't return to the mound until at least next week, and depending on the results of his upcoming MRI, that timeline could be extended even further. Greene recently reported stiffness in his elbow — an injury he claims dates all the way back to last August — and will see two doctors over the next week.
Greene was the Reds Opening Day starter last season, and had he not suffered this recent setback, seemed poised to receive that honor once again. But he's made just one appearance this spring, and has only thrown 37 pitches in Cactus League play.
