Reds ace Hunter Greene reports tightness in his groin and won't start his rehab assignment yet
Manager Terry Francona said Monday before the Reds began a three-game series against Miami that Greene would undergo another MRI exam 'out of an abundance of caution.'
Greene had been scheduled to pitch for Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, but that was put on hold after the discomfort arose following a bullpen session on Sunday. The right-hander, who's on his
second injured list stint
because of the muscle strain, told reporters he was feeling strong before the setback but will take his status 'day by day.'
After the injury first popped up during a start on May 7, Greene returned after the minimum 15-day stay on the IL and made three starts before being pulled early from the last one
on June 3
. The Reds were aiming to have Greene back right after the All-Star break, but the timetable for his return is now less clear.
Greene, who was the second overall pick in the 2017 draft, was well on his way before the injury to a second straight All-Star Game selection by posting a 2.72 ERA with 73 strikeouts in 59 2/3 innings over 11 starts.

Wellens wins Tour de France 15th stage, teammate Pogačar maintains grip on yellow jersey
CARCASSONNE, France (AP) — Tim Wellens raced clear on the descent toward Carcassonne to win the 15th stage of the Tour de France on Sunday while three-time champion Tadej Pogačar tightened his hold on the yellow jersey. 'I had the opportunity, I took it, and I had legs to finish it, but of course I trade my victory directly for a yellow with Tadej in Paris,' said Wellens, a teammate of Pogačar at UAE Team Emirates-XRG, after his first Tour stage victory. With it, the Belgian rider became the 113th rider to take stage wins in all three Grand Tours. Wellens finished 1 minute, 28 seconds ahead of Victor Campeanaerts and 1:36 ahead of Julian Alaphilippe, Wout van Aert, and Axel Laurance. 'I knew that I had to enjoy the moment,' Wellens said. 'I kept riding 'till the finish line because I wanted a big gap to fully enjoy it and maybe put my bike in the air after the finish. But I was so happy to win that I forgot to do it.' Wellens had been in a four-man leading group with Campeanaerts, Michael Storer, and Quinn Simmons as they climbed the 2.9 kilometer, 10.2% incline Pas du Sant. Carlos Rodriguez, Warren Barguil, Aleks Vlasov and Alexey Lutsenko were chasing, and Wellens waited for the trailing group to catch up before he attacked with 43.5 kilometers to go, knowing his rivals would find it hard to react with the downhill to come. Third-placed Alaphilippe celebrated after beating Van Aert and Laurance to the line, thinking he'd won the stage, only to be told that two riders had finished ahead of him. Pogačar and his closest general classification rivals, Jonas Vingegard and Florian Lipowitz, finished in a large group 6:07 behind Wellens. Pogačar maintained his overall lead of 4:13 over Vingegard and 7:53 over German rider Lipowitz. Sunday's 169-kilometer stage from Muret to the medieval city of Carcassonne got off to a chaotic start with a crash in the peloton affecting Alaphilippe, Lipowitz and many others. It appeared to be caused by a cobbled traffic island that caught one or more riders by surprise. Alaphilippe looked to have hurt his left shoulder, but all could continue racing. Pogačar, who'd raced ahead, was told over the radio to try and calm the bunch so Vingegaard and Lipowitz could resume contact. By the time the peloton got back together, it was about 40 seconds behind a 15-rider breakaway including Wellens. The race finishes next weekend in Paris. Monday offers riders the second rest day of the Tour.

Bangladesh beats Pakistan by 7 wickets in T20 series opener
MIRPUR, Bangladesh (AP) — Disciplined bowling and a superb half-century by opener Parvez Hossain Emon led Bangladesh to a seven-wicket victory against Pakistan with almost five overs to spare in their T20 series opener on Sunday. Parvez struck a 39-ball 56 not out, with three fours and five sixes, to help Bangladesh reach 112-3 in 15.3 overs after winning the toss and dismissing Pakistan for 110 in 19.3 overs. Parvez and Towhid Hridoy (36) batted with caution to add 73 runs for the third wicket, a partnership that was key to victory on a tricky surface. The second of three T20 matches is on Tuesday. ___ AP cricket: The Associated Press
