Greene will compete for a spot in the Reds' 2022 rotation, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
The Reds' top pitching prospect did what he could in 2021 to prove his readiness for the majors, logging a 1.98 ERA in seven starts at Double-A and a 4.13 ERA as a 22-year-old at Triple-A. Throwing enough strikes will be the key for Greene to break through with the big-league club early next season. There are at least two rotation spots currently up for grabs, and Greene will be competing primarily with Nick Lodolo and Reiver Sanmartin.
