During Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox, Jim Day provided an injury update on pitchers Hunter Greene and Graham Ashcraft.

Greene threw 20 pitches in a live bullpen session off the mound and faced five batters. He reported that he felt good afterwards.

Ashcraft also threw a live bullpen before the game and threw 21 pitches. He also reported that he felt good afterwards.

One of the hitters that they faced was Reds bullpen coach, Matt Tracy, which drew some laughs.

Day speculated that Ashcraft will most likely throw a bullpen session again in the near future and he could be activated after that.

For Greene, it could be a bit longer as the Reds are trying to keep him on four to five days' rest. Day mentioned he wouldn't be surprised to see Greene go on a rehab start with Triple-A next, but he would be limited to a couple of innings.
