Hunter Greene Has Second Tommy John Surgery, Out All of 2027
The Reds righty underwent UCL reconstruction on Aug 12, ending his 2026 season after just 5 starts and wiping out 2027.
Hunter Greene had a second Tommy John surgery performed on August 12, confirmed by the Cincinnati Enquirer. His 2026 season is over after only 27.2 innings and a 6.83 ERA across five starts. Rehab timelines for Tommy John typically run 14 months, meaning Greene is not expected back until 2028. His $15MM salary for 2027 becomes a sunk cost for the low-payroll Reds.
