As noted by Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the club received three medical opinions on Greene's arm confirmed that the ace's UCL has not been damaged in what Bell and Greene have described as a 'best case scenario.'
Greene now appears to be ticketed for an absence that will extend well past the minimum 15 days previously hoped for, as the right-hander is now not expected to resume throwing until the inflammation dissipates, which Greene suggested could take as long as two weeks.
I'd like to be able to finish with two or three more starts, but I've got to see how I feel in a few days or a week.
If Greene remains shut down for two weeks, he would resume throwing in early September. It's at least feasible to imagine that he would be able to go out for a brief rehab assignment in the middle of the month before making a couple of starts in the final weeks of the season.
