Chicago Cubs

The Chicago Cubs won’t have an easy time winning the National League Central, but things became easier with Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene getting injured.

More News: Chicago Cubs roster cuts include MLB top pitching prospect

According to USA Today Baseball columnist Bob Nightengale, Greene will have arthroscopic surgery on Wednesday to remove bone chips and loose bodies in his right elbow. The surgery will keep the former first-round pick (second overall) out until July.

The former All-Star (2024) made one start this spring — allowing four earned runs on five hits and a walk — before getting shut down.

The Chicago Cubs can breathe a sigh of relief that Hunter Greene is out until July

The Cubs not having to face Greene will work in their favor, as the right-hander owned the Cubs’ in 2025. In two starts, Greene was 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA and struck out 11 in 13.0 innings. Greene also limited Cubs hitters to a .091 batting average (44 at-bats) and a .376 OPS.

The Reds will be one of the Cubs’ main rivals competing for the National League Central Division in 2026. The Milwaukee Brewers will try to retain the title. The Pittsburgh Pirates could also offer some competition after spending some money to build on their roster.

Not having Greene will hurt the Reds’ rotation and overall roster, but it should help the Cubs steal a few wins against them. The Cubs play the Reds four times (May 4 to May 7) before July.
