The Reds announced this morning that theyve activated right-hander from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start against the Pirates later today. Right-hander was designated for a signment in order to clear a roster spot for Greene. The clubs 40-man roster now stands at 39. Greene, 25, signed a with the Reds in April of last year that keeps the right-hander under club control through the 2029 season. His first year after signing that extension was a somewhat lackluster one as he pitched to a 4.82 ERA (97 ERA+) while being limited to just 112 innings of work by injuries. The Brook Lopez Jersey youngster has turned things around in a big way with a breakout performance this year, however, and in doing so has become a major bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season for fans in Cincinnati. In 143 1/3 innings of work to this point in the year, Greene has posted a incredible 2.83 ERA (155 ERA+) while striking out an excellent 27.8% of batters faced. Some of Greenes good results have been thanks to good fortune on his part, as demonstrated by a deflated .243 BABIP for opposing hitters and the fact that just 6.6% of the hurlers fly balls have left the yard for home runs this year despite his home ballpark being the most homer-happy field in the majors. With that being said, advanced metrics are also generally impre sed with Greene as demonstrated by his 3.41 FIP and 3.76 SIERA. Its a season that could even earn Greene some down-ballot attention in NL Cy Young award voting this year, as his aforementioned sterling ERA trails only and among NL starters with at least 140 innings of work this year. Whatever chance Greene may have had at the award was put to bed by a trip to the IL due to elbow sorene s back in August, however. A subsequent MRI revealed no structural in a huge relief for the club, but inflammation in the hard-throwing rightys elbow has still kept him on the shelf for more than a month. His time on the shelf has ended now, though, and with just a few games left in the regular season Greene is slated this afternoon to go toe-to-toe with another up-and-coming ace in the NL Central: Pirates righty , who has posted an eye-popping 2.07 ERA with a 32.2% strikeout rate in 126 frames this year. As for Busenitz, the 34-year-old righty has pitched briefly for the Reds in each of the past two seasons. In seven innings of work for the club last year, he looked quite good with a 2.57 ERA and 2.29 FIP, but things have taken a turn for the worse this year as hes surrendered seven runs (six earned) on nine hits while striking out three acro s four innings of work in the majors. Things have gone better for him at Triple-A, however, where hes posted a decent 4.07 ERA in 66 1/3 innings of work this year. A suming Busenitz isnt claimed off waivers, hell likely head to free agency either in the coming days or this November and search for a fresh minor league deal on the open market.
