Hunter Greene Injury & Planner | Fantasy Baseball First Cup August 7

Cincinnati Reds ace Hunter Greene faces a slim chance of returning this season due to right elbow soreness. Corey Pieper breaks down a devastating injury update, major surgical news, the Friday Pitching Planner segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The health wire continues to impact fantasy rosters as Hunter Greene is unlikely to return this year, Triston Casas undergoes wrist surgery, Joey Bart suffers a fractured left hand, and Joe Ryan deals with a glute strain. Meanwhile, Jake Bauers has sat out three straight games with hopes of returning today, Dennis Santana signed a minor league deal with the Diamondbacks, and Nick Lodolo is set to return Tuesday. On the field, the top four hitters in the Reds lineup homered as Elly De La Cruz, Sal Stewart, JJ Bleday, and Tyler Stephenson joined Marcus Semien, Nate Lowe, Alex Bregman, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Framber Valdez, Dustin May, Dylan Cease, Matt Olson, Chase Meidroth, Jackson Chourio, and Ronald Acuna Jr. in the studs section. Conversely, Foster Griffin dueling Nolan McLean, Bryan Reynolds going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts despite a walk and a run, Bryce Miller, Ranger Suarez, Munetaka Murakami, and Luis Castillo all struggled into the duds column. Our Friday Pitching Planner segment evaluates key weekend starting options to optimize your rotation matchups, detailing Jose Soriano, Noah Schultz, Jacob Misiorowski, Jackson Jobe starting Saturday, Bryan Woo, and Blake Snell.
