Cincinnati Reds' Hunter Greene (groin) to start rehab assignment
NEW YORK — If the Cincinnati Reds feel the need for speed when they're at Bristol Motor Speedway for MLB's latest circus-sideshow game in a couple weeks, maybe they'll get a 100-mph infusion when they resume their regularly scheduled season after that. That's about when Opening Day starter Hunter Greene could be ready to return from the injured list, barring another setback with the groin strain that has sidelined him for all but three starts (14 innings) since May 7. The Reds aren't offering any projected timelines, but Greene was scheduled to start a minor-league rehab assignment with a two-inning start for the Reds' Arizona Complex League team either Monday or Tuesday, then travel to join Triple-A Louisville to continue the assignment.

Greene, a 2024 All-Star, has made just 11 starts this season, going 4-3 with a 2.72 ERA. Part of the reason the Reds are reluctant to predict a return for Greene is the fits-and-starts path his rehab has taken since the original injury. Most recently, he was scheduled to start a rehab assignment two weeks ago that seemed to point to a return immediately after the All-Star break. But a relapse of discomfort in the area prompted another MRI, which showed no new issue, and a change in rehab plans. At which point manager Terry Francona said of Greene's return: 'We don't really have a road map.'

Cincinnati Reds' latest on Hunter Greene, Rhett Lowder, Carson Spiers
WASHINGTON – A few updates and observations on the Cincinnati Reds pitching depth as we stare intently at team president Nick Krall and general manager Brad Meador for any signal they might be about to land the left-hander they need for the bullpen: More: Why Cincinnati Reds (and Mets) believe they can end the drought of the century Look: Cincinnati Reds unveil NASCAR-inspired uniforms for Speedway Classic Hunter Greene Greene, the Reds' Opening Day starter has pitched just three times since a Grade 1 groin strain first sidelined him May 7, but he could be back on track for a return to the mound in two or three weeks, barring another setback. Greene was to start a minor-league rehab assignment July 23 with a two-inning start for the Reds' Arizona Complex League rookie club, then travel to Omaha to join Triple-A Louisville for at least a couple more rehab starts. Manager Terry Francona had no projected timeline or prescribed number of rehab starts to offer as the team opened a three-game series in Washington this week. 'We just want him to be OK,' he said. Two starts for Louisville could mean a return sometime during the Aug. 7-10 road series against the Pirates, barring setback, for Greene (4-3, 2.72 ERA,, 11 starts). Rhett Lowder The talented young right-hander, who dazzled during a six-start debut last season (1.17 ERA), was finally cleared to start playing catch this week after being shut down almost two months since suffering a severe oblique strain while on a rehab assignment following a forearm strain. It's a long shot that Lowder is able to return and help the Reds down the stretch, but the team isn't ruling it out. 'It's one of the things we don't want to do,' Francona said. 'Even if he doesn't pitch for us, we want him to prepare, because, one, maybe he pitches for us, but, two, if he (doesn't and) goes home, he can have a semi-normal winter.' Carson Spiers The right-hander who opened the season in the rotation as the club waited out the slow-played buildup of Andrew Abbott underwent an MRI on Monday for the biceps soreness that prompted his rehab assignment to be paused over the weekend. Results were not immediately available. Spiers, a valuable swingman over the past year, has been on the IL since April 20 because of a shoulder impingement.

St. Petersburg preps for Tropicana Field roof installation
City officials have begun laying the groundwork — er, ceiling work — to install a new roof on Tropicana Field. Why it matters: The city is on a tight timeline to repair the Tampa Bay Rays ballpark in time for Opening Day next spring. State of play: Workers are currently installing blue netting that will serve as a base from which to build out the roof, city spokesperson Samantha Bequer said in an email. The city will build out the new roof in phases beginning next month, with expected completion in December. Also that month, repairs to the interior and the addition of turf are slated to begin. The project's expected completion date is April. By the numbers: The repairs are projected to cost about $56 million, with $22.5 million allocated for the roof alone. Between the lines: The renovation comes amid a potential sale of the team to a group led by Jacksonville developer Patrick Zalupski, who The Athletic reported wants to see the team relocate to Tampa.
