Hunter Greene, the Cincinnati Reds' Opening Day starter, is on the path to recovery after a Grade 1 groin strain sidelined him since May 7. He’s set to start a minor-league rehab assignment and could return by early August. Meanwhile, Rhett Lowder, a promising right-hander, is making slow progress after recovering from an oblique strain but may not be ready to contribute this season. Carson Spiers is also under scrutiny for biceps soreness, which halted his rehab assignment. His status remains uncertain as he deals with shoulder impingement.
