Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona provided a positive update on ace Hunter Greene on Monday on MLB Network Radio. "Yeah, I think he's all set," Francona said. "He actually threw a bullpen yesterday on the game mound because he wanted to make it as real as they could.

Reds ace Hunter Greene checked off another box as he returns from a groin injury that has had him on the injured list for the past two weeks. “The velo is great,” said Greene, who threw 35 pitches off the mound in a bullpen session.
