Hunter Greene Facing Elbow Surgery, Out Deep Into 2027
The Reds confirmed Greene needs UCL surgery. Whether it's Tommy John or an internal brace, he won't return until at least mid-2027.
The Reds officially announced Hunter Greene will have elbow surgery targeting his UCL. The exact procedure — Tommy John reconstruction or internal brace — will be determined once surgeons assess the ligament directly. An internal brace carries a roughly 12-month recovery timeline; Tommy John typically requires around 14 months. Either way, Greene's 2026 season is over after just 27.2 innings and a 6.83 ERA across five starts.
