The Cincinnati Reds activated right-hander Hunter Greene from the 15-day injured list to start Friday’s home game against the Chicago Cubs.
Greene, 25, has been sidelined with a right groin injury since exiting a game against the Atlanta Braves on May 7. Greene experienced issues while warming up for the fourth inning and was removed from the game.
Greene tossed a 35-pitch simulated game on Sunday and pronounced himself ready to return.
Greene is 4-2 with a 2.36 ERA, 61 strikeouts, eight walks and an 0.81 WHIP in eight starts this season.
Last season, Greene made the National League All-Star team for the first time and went 9-5 with a 2.75 ERA and 169 strikeouts in 26 starts.
In his fourth season with the Reds, Greene is 22-27 with a 3.74 ERA and 546 strikeouts in 80 starts.
