Reds' Hunter Greene will undergo an MRI. Here's what we know
There was some bad news that followed the Cincinnati Reds' memorable, defensive walk-off win over the Milwaukee Brewers: Hunter Greene's groin injury might be an issue again.
After the Reds' 4-2 victory that T.J. Friedl secured when he robbed a home run at the center field wall, Reds manager Terry Francona volunteered that Greene felt what might have been a reoccurrence of the groin injury that sidelined him via the 15-day injured list in May. Greene will have an MRI Wednesday morning to determine the extent of any possible injury.

"On another note, we had to take Hunter out because he felt the groin the last couple pitches in that fifth inning. That's why he came out of the game," Francona said.
Hunter Greene came out of the game after five innings when his groin injury resurfaced. He allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven.
Greene, who exited a May 7 start against Atlanta with the initial groin strain, tossed 85 pitches over five innings (no decision) on Tuesday against the Brewers. Francona indicated during his pre-game meeting with reporters that Greene would have the opportunity for a longer start.

Greene was on a pitch count on May 23 in his return from the IL against the Chicago Cubs. He then went five innings May 28 against the Kansas City Royals.
"It's not concerning. It's frustrating," Greene told reporters after the game. "I want to be out there. I want to compete. I feel like, as a pitcher, you do your best when you're in a groove and you're going out there every single fifth or sixth day, and it just makes it a little bit more difficult when you're trying to overcome certain stuff or you've got to be sidelined."
Greene on Tuesday against the Brewers threw a first-pitch strike to all 23 batters he faced.

Lefty Shota Imanaga Will Rejoin Chicago Cubs Next Week in St. Louis
Left-hander Shota Imanaga will rejoin the Chicago Cubs early next week in St. Louis following a sharp Triple-A rehab start on Friday, manager Craig Counsell said Saturday. Counsell wasn't sure when Imanaga would be slotted into Chicago's rotation but said before the Cubs' game against the Seattle Mariners that the 31-year-old "is gonna make his next start in the big leagues." Imanaga, who was 15-3 with a 2.91 ERA as a rookie last season, is coming back from a left hamstring strain. He got hurt covering first base during the sixth inning of a 4-0 loss at Milwaukee on May 4. Imanaga is 3-2 with a 2.82 ERA in eight starts for the Cubs this season. His return is expected to provide a lift for the NL Central leaders, who entered Saturday 4.5 games in front of Milwaukee and St. Louis. Imanaga tossed 4.1 scoreless innings of two-hit ball for Triple-A Iowa at Nashville on Friday night. He struck out eight and walked two. "Everything went great," Counsell said. "Did what we hoped he would do. He's in a position to be ready. So he's going to join us in St. Louis and we'll figure out the next steps." Before the transition to Iowa, Imanaga pitched six scoreless innings over two rehab starts in the Arizona Complex League. He had a bullpen session in Arizona last Tuesday. Imanaga signed a $53 million, four-year contract with Chicago in January 2024. He often dazzled in 29 starts last season, making the National League All-Star team and finishing fourth in balloting for the NL Rookie of the Year. Also, on Saturday, the Cubs recalled right-hander Nate Pearson from Iowa and designated lefty Genesis Cabrera for assignment. Pearson is 3-1 with a 2.22 ERA in 19 appearances since he was optioned to Iowa on April 15. Cabrera had an 8.68 ERA in nine games with the Cubs. He signed with Chicago on May 29 after being designated for assignment by the New York Mets. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

5 times Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski turned batters into goop
Good lord Jacob Misiorowski literally sat Willi Castro down If you're not familiar with Milwaukee Brewers rookie sensation Jacob Misiorowski, allow us to bring you up to speed. The 23-year-old pitcher from the Kansas City area is an absolute stud. He's the National League Rookie of the Year favorite (+150 at BetMGM) after just two starts and both the numbers and the eye test back up his front-runner status. In Friday's start against the Minnesota Twins, Misiorowski took a perfect game into the 7th inning before giving up a walk and a home run. It was the first hit he's allowed since reaching the big leagues and his 11 innings of no-hit ball made him the first rookie to accomplish the feat since 1900. This isn't beginner's luck, either. The righty's arsenal is absolutely filthy in the best possible way. Just look at how veteran hitters are completely falling over themselves just trying to figure out where the ball is going. Jacob Misiorowski, 101 mph Sword. ⚔️5th K thru 🤫 Jacob Misiorowski, UNFAIR 96mph Slider. 😳1st MLB K Jacob Misiorowski's First 2 Pitches in the Jet Fuel 😳 Jacob Misiorowski, Ridiculous 92mph Changeup. 😲Now he's just showing off. Final line through two starts: 11 innings pitched, 1 hit, 2 earned runs, 5 walks and 11 strikeouts. Yeah, this guy might stick around in the majors for a bit.
