Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona spoke with reporters on Thursday before they face off against the Detroit Tigers and shared an update on starting pitcher Hunter Greene.

Greene went to Los Angeles to get a second opinion on his injured groin, but it showed nothing worse than the first opinion, according to The Enquirer's Gordon Wittenmyer.

Greene also got an epidural in his back and has one final meeting with doctors in Los Angeles before the Reds will try to nail down a timeline.

Greene had been putting together one of the best seasons of his career. He had a 2.72 ERA, a WHIP of 0.97, and 73 strikeouts in 59 2/3 innings.

The Reds signed Wade Miley to a Major League deal to take Greene's spot in the rotation.

Second opinion/MRI on Reds ace Hunter Greene’s sore groin showed nothing worse than the first one. Since he’s on IL anyway, he got epidural for back soreness that developed last start. Has one more meeting with docs in L.A. before any timeline projected.
