Reds place ace Greene on 15-day injured list and sign veteran left-hander Miley to 1-year contract
CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds placed ace pitcher Hunter Greene on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with a right groin strain and signed veteran left-hander Wade Miley to a one-year contract. Miley, 38, who had Tommy John surgery on his left elbow in May 2024, signed a minor league contract with the Reds on Feb. 4. The deal included an opt-out clause if Miley didn't reach the big leagues by June 1. The 14-year veteran executed that clause on Sunday but remained in Cincinnati while he pursued potential deals with other clubs and stayed in touch with the Reds. 'I was able to spend some time with the family, just being a dad, going to Little League games,' Miley said. 'I'm appreciative of the Reds organization and the way they handled it. We always stayed in contact. I feel healthy. I'm really excited to be back. I'm ready to go to work.' Miley is the third left-hander in the Reds rotation, joining Nick Lodolo and Andrew Abbott. He made 34 appearances including 32 starts for the Reds in 2020-21, going 12-10 with a 3.55 ERA. He tossed the 17th no-hitter in Reds franchise history, and his first, on May 7, 2021, at Cleveland. Miley has posted 108 victories for eight different teams in his 14 seasons. Manager Terry Francona said Miley's veteran presence is a welcome addition for the Reds' young rotation. 'He and (Reds president of baseball operations) Nick (Krall) talked multiple times,' Francona said. 'I know how much he appreciated Nick's honesty. We were going to have him in the bullpen and then knowing at some point we would probably need him. Well, it happened a little quicker.' Francona said Miley will be available out of the bullpen for Wednesday's series finale against the Brewers. If he's not used, he'll pitch the first game of the upcoming Cleveland series, then move into the rotation. 'He was in full (uniform) early this morning,' Francona said. 'It's really welcome. We've been waiting for him. He's a bright light. He brings a lot. His ability to compete, he won't shortchange you.' It was another setback for Greene who made three starts since a 15-day stint on the injured list last month due to a groin strain he sustained May 7 during a start in Atlanta. In Tuesday night's 4-2 win over the Brewers, Green threw 85 pitches before leaving the game after five innings when he felt discomfort in his groin. An MRI was scheduled for Wednesday morning, but Francona said there was no need to wait for the results. 'We talked to him, we talked to trainers, it was kind of an easy decision even without seeing the MRI,' Francona said. 'We've got to get him healthy.' Greene — who made his first All-Star appearance last season — is 4-3 with a 2.72 ERA in 11 starts this year. ___ AP MLB:

Phillies Executive Gives Insight Into Top Prospect's Debut Timeline
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Philadelphia Phillies' top prospect, Andrew Painter, may be arriving in the major leagues this season, as expressed by manager Rob Thomson. "July-ish" had been the answer for some time, but the Phillies manager offered a more exact answer, indicating Painter may make his debut following this All-Star break. FORT MYERS, FL- MARCH 01: Andrew Painter #76 of the Philadelphia Phillies pitches during a spring training game against the Minnesota Twins on March 1, 2023 at the Hammond Stadium in Fort Myers, Florida. FORT MYERS, FL- MARCH 01: Andrew Painter #76 of the Philadelphia Phillies pitches during a spring training game against the Minnesota Twins on March 1, 2023 at the Hammond Stadium in Fort Myers, Florida. Photo by Brace Hemmelgarn/Painter underwent Tommy John surgery in July 2023 after flirting with a roster spot during spring training. Painter did not make his debut before going under the knife, but he is putting himself back into the conversation of the Phillies' rotation. Painter has only thrown 28 1/3 innings this season in the minors and is scheduled to extend into the sixth inning for the first time during his start on Wednesday. While Thomson expressed his expected arrival of the Phillies' top prospect, president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said the situation is evolving. Dombrowski went on the New York Post podcast "The Show", expressing that the pitching staff is performing well and that "by no means is it guaranteed he's coming up to the major leagues in July." Dombrowski has been around the game for a long time and knows that he cannot rely on set timelines when returning from injuries or calling players up. If Painter is needed after the All-Star break, then he will likely be with the team and make his debut. If he is not needed -- or suffers any setbacks -- he likely will spend more time with Lehigh Valley before making the trip to Philadelphia. Painter has been the highest-touted pitching prospect for the Phillies in a long time, and the anticipation for his arrival will continue to grow as the season continues.
