Greene has reached his innings limit and will not pitch again this season, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The decision ends any hope of Greene making his big-league debut this season, though that was always a long shot at best. The 22-year-old will end the year having produced a 3.30 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 21 starts at the two highest levels of the minors, striking out 31.7 percent of opposing batters while walking 8.9 percent. It was a very encouraging season for the 2017 second overall pick, who missed two straight seasons due to Tommy John and the coronavirus pandemic. He has set himself up well to potentially make his major-league debut in 2022.

Hendricks allowed seven earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one across 3.2 innings Thursday against the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.

Hendricks was handed a seven-run lead in the third inning, but he gave it all up just one frame later. Though he didn't allow a home run, Hendricks surrendered two doubles, four singles and also hit two batters in the fourth inning alone. Hendricks has now surrendered at least four earned runs in five of his last eight appearances, although he has recorded quality starts in the other three outings. As a result of this poor stretch, Hendricks has a 4.81 ERA across 170.1 innings on the campaign.

Gausman (14-6) allowed four earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out seven across five innings to take the loss Thursday against the Padres.

Gausman surrendered at least one run in three different innings, leading to the disappointing outing. As a result, he was charged with his first loss since July 30. In his last 10 starts, Gausman has a 4.08 ERA across 53 innings, though he's still provided value by racking up 68 strikeouts and earning five wins in that span. On the season, Gausman has maintained a 2.78 ERA with a 208:49 K:BB across 175 frames.

Overton held the Reds scoreless across three innings during Thursday's no-decision. He allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three.

It was a strong debut for the 28-year-old, who has yet to allow a run through his first 10.2 innings at the major-league level. As expected, Overton took on a light load for his first start, tossing 42 pitches (31 for strikes) over three frames. The right-hander will look to get further stretched out during his next outing, which projects for a rematch with Cincinnati on the road next week, assuming he remains in the starting rotation.

Mahle (12-5) earned the win Thursday after blanking the Pirates across six innings. He allowed five hits and a walk while striking out four.

Mahle used strong command to post his second consecutive quality start and help the Reds avoid a sweep in the tight 1-0 victory. The right-hander has posted a 1.85 ERA in 17 road starts this season while nearing the 200-strikeout milestone with 192 whiffs (good for 10th on the MLB leaderboard). Mahle will carry a 3.59 ERA and 1.20 WHIP into his next outing, which tentatively aligns for a rematch with Pittsburgh at home Tuesday.

Anderson will start Friday's game against the Giants, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Anderson was slated to pitch Thursday against the Rockies before the game was postponed, but he'll start at PNC Park on Friday. Charlie Morton will also be pushed back a day to start Saturday's matchup.

Cueto (elbow) played catch from 60 feet Thursday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Cueto resumed playing catch Wednesday for the first time since he landed on the injured list Sept. 1, and he was able to throw for a second consecutive day. It's not yet clear when the right-hander will be able to resume mound work, but it's encouraging to see him throw off flat ground.

Anderson won't start Thursday's game against the Rockies as scheduled, as the game has been postponed.

Inclement weather and unplayable field conditions caused the game to be called off. The two teams aren't scheduled to play each other again this season, but the game is still expected to be played on a later date. It's unclear whether or not Anderson will simply be pushed back by a day, as Atlanta may not want to push back Charlie Morton, who's scheduled to start Friday against San Francisco. Anderson should pitch again within the next few days, however.

Marquez and the Rockies won't play Thursday against Atlanta after the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

Marquez will get an extra day of rest before he pitches Friday's series opener against Washington, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. The right-hander will attempt to remain effective after he tossed six scoreless frames in his last start.

Gutierrez didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Pirates, giving up four runs on five hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He failed to strike out a batter.

It was another poor performance from the 25-year-old rookie, who has failed to complete four innings in three of his last four starts. Gutierrez has gone 0-2 during that stretch with a 7.80 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 9:6 K:BB through 15 innings, but despite his late-season struggles the Reds are still 1.5 games back of the Cardinals for the second wild-card spot in the NL.
