Greene (groin/back) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session when the Reds are in Boston early next week, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

The right-hander is working his way back from a groin strain and back soreness, and he's recently been receiving treatment and going through rehab work at the team's facility in Arizona. Greene has been sidelined just over three weeks, so it'll likely take some time for him to build his throwing program back up. With that in mind, he seems likely to be out at least through the All-Star break, which ends July 18.

The Cardinals optioned McGreevy to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

McGreevy struggled in a spot start in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Cubs, giving up five runs on seven hits and one walk in 4.2 innings. He will rejoin the Memphis rotation but should be the first pitcher to be called upon the next time the Cardinals require another starter.

The Padres placed Bergert (forearm) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Bergert was struck in the forearm by a comebacker in his start during Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Nationals and was forced to leave the game early. Though X-rays came back negative, Bergert will get at least two weeks off to heal up from the bruise on his forearm, which is likely still presenting some discomfort for him when he throws. The Padres recalled right-hander Sean Reynolds from Triple-A El Paso to take Bergert's spot on the 26-man active roster, and the team will eventually need to add a replacement in the rotation for Bergert during next week's series in Philadelphia.

High-A Beloit placed Meyer on its 7-day injured list Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury.

Meyer had been lined up to start Tuesday, but he apparently was dealing with a physical issue that prompted Beloit to place him on the IL instead. Until the nature of his injury is known, the 20-year-old righty will be without a clear timeline for a return. Meyer owns a 5.09 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 49:21 K:BB in 40.2 innings with Beloit on the season.

Fuentes is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Mets at Citi Field.

When he was initially called up from Triple-A Gwinnett last week to make his MLB debut, Fuentes was expected to make a spot start before returning to the minors. However, with Chris Sale being diagnosed over the weekend with a fractured left ribcage that will keep him on the shelf through at least the All-Star break, Fuentes should be in store for multiple turns through the rotation. Though the 20-year-old righty is regarded as one of Atlanta's top prospects, he had a so-so debut outing last Friday against a weak Miami offense, giving up four earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three over five innings. He'll make for a risky streaming option while he takes the hill for his second start in a tougher matchup Wednesday on the road against the Mets.

Suarez (6-2) took the loss Tuesday against Houston, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over 7.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Suarez was locked in a pitchers' duel with Framber Valdez, with no runs being scored until Suarez yielded a solo homer to Cooper Hummel in the bottom of the eighth inning. Suarez has pitched at least seven innings in four consecutive starts, boasting a 1.26 ERA and 26:6 K:BB across 28.2 innings during that stretch. He's slated to make his next start Sunday against Atlanta.

Marquez (3-9) took the loss Tuesday against the Dodgers, allowing six unearned runs on six hits and no walks over four innings. He struck out six.

Marquez yielded three extra-base hits in the loss, but a pair of fourth-inning defensive errors saved the 30-year-old from being charged with any earned runs. Still, he allowed a three-run home run to Michael Conforto and had the Dodgers bat around the order as part of the six-run fourth inning. Marquez has allowed one earned run or zero in three straight starts, but he owns a 5.79 ERA and 1.64 WHIP across 77.2 innings this season. He's slated for a start in Milwaukee on Sunday.

McGreevy didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cubs, giving up five runs on seven hits and one walk in 4.2 innings. He struck out one.

The 24-year-old right-hander wasn't at his best against a tough Cubs lineup, conceding a season-high five runs. It was also the shortest outing of the season for McGreevy, who fanned fewer than five for the first time in his four appearances. McGreevy's next turn in the Cardinals' rotation is tentatively slated for next week in Pittsburgh against the last-place Pirates, although it's possible Tuesday was only a spot start. He owns a serviceable 4.22 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB through his first 21.1 innings this season.

Taillon (7-5) took the loss Tuesday against the Cardinals, giving up eight runs on eight hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out three.

Five of Taillon's eight hits allowed went for extra bases, with three of them leaving the yard, and he leads the National League with 21 home runs allowed in 2025. The veteran right-hander yielded a season-high eight runs, and he's now surrendered 13 over his last two outings on the heels of rattling off six quality starts in a row prior to this recent downturn. Taillon still holds a respectable 4.47 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 70:19 K:BB across 90.2 innings, but things don't figure to get much easier in his next scheduled appearance against an Astros club that entered Tuesday batting an MLB-best .276 since May 22.

Montas took a no-decision Tuesday against Atlanta, giving up no runs on three hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out five.

It was encouraging to see Montas look sharp in his season debut, given that he struggled to a 12.05 ERA over his six minor-league rehab starts while recovering from a lat strain. The veteran right-hander wasn't the most efficient, as he threw only 46 of his 80 pitches for strikes, but he held a formidable Atlanta lineup to just three singles. Montas will look to further build up his pitch count in his next outing, which lines up for this weekend against a Pirates team that has an MLB-worst .645 OPS since April 26.
