San Francisco Giants third baseman Rafael Devers is feeling better and he could return to Spring Training action soon. Meanwhile, Cincinnati Reds ace Hunter Greene is scheduled for an MRI on his elbow.
Let’s check out these injury updates.
Rafael Devers Feeling Better Amid Hamstring Scare
Rafael Devers was scratched from Friday’s Spring Training action as the Giants shut down his baseball activities following his hamstring injury. On Wednesday, Devers told reporters that his hamstring was “feeling good,” suggesting the third baseman could be back into the fold soon.
The Giants have an off on Thursday and they have game against the Reds on Friday. However, it’s unlikely Devers will return for that game as MLB insider Susan Slusser suggested, he’s more likely to return in the weekend’s games. The Giants are scheduled to play the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday (two games, split-squad) and the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. Devers could return in any one of Saturday’s games.
With Opening Day coming in three weeks, Devers has ample time to recover and come back for the Giants.
Meanwhile, the Giants are preparing for their Wednesday’s game against the Seattle Mariners.
Hunter Greene Scheduled For Elbow MRI
Hunter Greene is scheduled for MRI on Friday after reporting discomfort in his elbow during Spring Training. Earlier this week, the Reds ace informed the management about the stiffness.
Reds manager Terry Francona added that the fastest Greene will return to the mound on Tuesday, assuming there is no significant structural damage in his elbow.
Greene has been exceptional over the last two seasons, posting a 2.76 ERA while striking out 301 hitters. However, because of groin injury, he was limited to just 107.2 innings.
Greene headlines the Reds starting rotation, also featuring 2025 All-Star Andrew Abbott, Brady Singer and Nick Lodolo. Former first round picks Chase Burns and Rhett Lowder will compete for the fifth spot.
