With that being said, Reds manager Terry Francona revealed an unfortunate injury update about Greene before their bout with the Detroit Tigers on Saturday, via FOX19's Charlie Goldsmith. “It’s going to take a little longer this time," he said.

Reds rotation ace Hunter Greene could be down for longer than expected after his latest medical exam. Greene, who has been on the 15-day injured list since June 4 with a right groin strain, went to Los Angeles this week for a second opinion and another MRI.

Gleyber Torres homered on the first pitch, then again in the seventh inning, part of a four-homer game for the Tigers.

The Cincinnati Reds activated left-handed reliever Brent Suter from the bereavement list on Friday. On Thursday, the Reds sent reliever Joe La Sorsa to Triple-A Louisville. Suter has appeared in 21 games for Cincinnati this season and has an ERA of 2.
