Nick Krall on Hunter Greene Injury, Reds Star Meeting With Dr El Attrache

We hear right elbow soreness, what more can you tell us about the injury? He's going to go see Dr. Elitrosh in Los Angeles and we'll have more after that. Nothing, we don't have anything right now and once we have that information we'll give it to you. He threw his side yesterday, had some soreness, came out of his side and we sent him to go see the doctor first thing this morning. Did he have an MRI today? Yes. Any results on that? I'm not going to go get into that until we have the other doctor's opinion and we talk through it with the doctors. Have you spoken to Hunter himself? Yes, we spoke with him this afternoon. Tito Bradd, myself, Sean McQueen and I all sat down with Hunter and we talked to him about it and he's going to go see Dr. Elitrosh tomorrow. Is there even enough to know at this point whether this could be lengthy? I mean there's only seven weeks left in the season. Don't have a timetable yet, just have to wait until we get the results from Dr. Elitrosh. In the short term, is it supposed to start tomorrow? I think Abbott's going to start tomorrow. So he's just going to end up with it? Yeah, I think so. We're still working through it but I think that Abbott's going to end up starting tomorrow. Given what Hunter has dealt with this season and seasons past, how much do you feel for him at this point? Yeah, it's tough. I mean obviously he's had a couple of elbow things throughout this season. He's had some other stuff throughout the last couple seasons so we know we're going to get him on the right track and get him back and hopefully he'll be in games sooner rather than later. But whatever happens, we just got to support him and whatever we can do to do that. It had been a bit of a mixed bag for him on the mound. Do you feel like there was any sort of connection? Like was he pitching through any sort of discomfort or anything like that? I can't tell you, you'll have to ask him. It's kind of weird the timing because you got Lodolo doing a rehab assignment, you got Williamson. You guys seemed like you were just poised to get full strength in your rotation maybe. You've had it once for a week this year. It's kind of just unfortunate timing. Yeah, it's unfortunate but it's unfortunate for him. I hate how he's going through this. He obviously had the bone spurs this offseason so hopefully everything's going to be okay for him. Is this completely different from the bone chips and all that kind of stuff that he was doing? I don't know.
