GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Cincinnati Reds’ ace Hunter Greene is scheduled to undergo surgery today on his right elbow and could miss at least the first four months of the season.

The Reds said Greene was diagnosed with bone chips and loose bodies in his elbow early in spring training.

Greene went 7-4 with a 2.76 ERA last year, helping Cincinnati earn an NL wild card for its first playoff appearance since 2020.
