Cincinnati Reds Ace Impresses in Third Rehab Game

Cincinnati Reds ace Hunter Greene made his third rehab appearance on Sunday and his second with Triple-A Louisville.

He gave up two unearned runs on three hits, walked a batter, and struck out seven over 3 1/3 innings. He threw 42 of his 66 pitches for strikes.

Greene hasn't pitched in a big league game since June 3. He's posted a 2.72 ERA in 11 starts so far this season.

Getting Greene back in the rotation would be huge for a Reds team that is 58-54 and is making trying to make the playoffs.

The 25-year-old flamethrower has been on the injured list for a couple of months with a groin strain.

Greene is 4-3 with 73 strikeouts in 58 2/3 innings this season.

The Reds are 58-54 and four games back from the San Diego Padres in the National League Wild Card race.
