Cincinnati Reds ace Hunter Greene takes a 2.36 ERA and 61 strikeouts in 45 2/3 innings to a likely IL stint after suffering a groin injury.

The Cincinnati Reds will place right-hander Hunter Greene on the injured list after he departed his start on Wednesday night with what the team has since diagnosed as a grade 1 right groin strain, according to MLB.com's Mark Sheldon. It's unclear what the Reds' corresponding move will be.

Greene left the contest after suffering a right groin injury, which he will undergo tests on Thursday to see whether it's severe or a minor issue. The star spoke after the game about how great he felt during the game and what “sucks” about the entire situation according to ESPN.
