Reds News
Hunter Greene's setback with elbow soreness is a bitter blow for the Reds, who now find their playoff hopes looking dimmer with only a 2% chance according to FanGraphs. As Greene heads for a second opinion, the front office's trade deadline strategy feels increasingly misguided, especially after the Pirates capitalized on their own moves, further complicating the narrative around Ke'Bryan Hayes. On a brighter note, the Reds managed a hard-fought 5-4 victory over the Athletics yesterday, marking their 10th win in 14 games and showcasing the resilience of players like Elly De La Cruz, who continues to impress at the plate. But with Greene sidelined and key injuries piling up, any momentum feels precarious and the dream of a postseason run hangs by a thread.
