The Reds placed Greene on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right groin strain.

Greene was hurt during Tuesday's start against the Brewers. It's the same injury that caused him to miss much of May, although the Reds are still awaiting MRI results to see what the severity is this time around. Manager Terry Francona said Wednesday that Greene also dealt with a lower-back issue during Tuesday's outing which may or may not have been related to the groin injury, per Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News. Greene will be eligible for activation June 19, but the Reds might tread more carefully with him this time. Wade Miley has been signed to take Greene's roster spot and should also absorb his spot in the rotation.

Feltner (back) resumed throwing Monday but is not ready for game action, MLB.com reports.

Feltner suffered a setback and was scratched from a scheduled rehab outing May 27. It's a positive sign that he's been able to resume throwing since, but a return in late June appears to be the best-case scenario.

Alcantara did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's loss to Colorado. He allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings.

While he couldn't beat the worst team in MLB, Alcantara still snapped an ugly run that lasted over a month. He worked through four shutout frames before the Rockies plated a pair of runs in the fifth inning. Alcantara delivered his first quality start since April 23. He gave up at least four runs in each of his six outings between those two starts, resulting in a brutal 10.08 ERA over 27.2 frames. After three straight outings with at least 100 pitches thrown, he's thrown 71 and 70 pitches in his last two appearances. Still searching for his first win since April 12, Alcantara is expected to make his next start in Pittsburgh.

Dollander did not factor into the decision during Tuesday's win over Miami. He allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out one batter over three innings.

Dollander delivered a pair of scoreless innings in his return from the injured list before stumbling in the third. He walked the first two batters in the frame and then gave up a pair of RBI singles. It was his first outing since May 18 and he threw just 28 of 59 pitches for strikes. The highly-touted rookie has struggled early in his MLB career with a 6.26 ERA and 39:21 K:BB across 41.2 innings. Dollander is lined up to face the Giants at home next week.

Sanchez (5-1) got the win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and four walks while striking out four in six innings.

Sanchez battled control issues in this one, tossing 55 of 96 pitches for strikes, but he was able to get out of trouble when needed with a lot of groundballs. The lone run against him came in the fifth inning on a solo blast from Davis Schneider. This was Sanchez's sixth quality start of the year and his first win since May 7. He lines up to complete a two-start week on the road against the Pirates this weekend.

Peralta (5-4) took the loss Tuesday against the Reds, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out nine in six innings.

Peralta got off to a blistering start, striking out five of the first six batters he faced while blanking the Reds through the first three innings. He then served up a two-run homer in the fourth and exited the game with two runners on in the seventh, one of which came in to score after Peralta was lifted. The nine strikeouts were a season high for Peralta and Tuesday marked his first time reaching six innings since May 4. Walks remain an issue for him, however, as he's walked 14 batters in his last five starts. Peralta's next start lines up for at home versus Atlanta next week.

Rodriguez (shoulder) is with the team in Atlanta and scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

This should be considered the in-between starts throwing session for Rodriguez, who is expected to be activated from the injured list this week for a start Friday in Cincinnati. He made a rehab start in the Arizona Complex League last Friday and is ready to return to a rotation that just lost Corbin Burnes (elbow). The left-hander's body of work is 2025 is not inspiring; Rodriguez was placed on the IL with a 7.05 ERA and one quality start among his nine outings.

Megill allowed four runs on four hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Megill allowed four baserunners in the first inning, and they all came around to score. He then retired nine straight batters and 16 of the last 17 he faced, and he left with the Mets ahead 5-4. That lead didn't last, as Huascar Brazoban blew a save chance in the ninth, but it was still a show of resilience for Megill to overcome his ugly first inning. He threw 105 pitches (69 strikes) in his longest outing since he went 6.1 innings versus the Nationals on April 27. Megill is now at a 3.77 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 79:28 K:BB through 59.2 innings over 12 starts. The right-hander's next start is projected to be at Colorado this weekend.

Kershaw allowed five runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out two over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Mets on Tuesday.

This wasn't a good start for Kershaw, but an error that extended the Mets' fifth inning was what ultimately did him in. On the positive side, Kershaw threw a season-high 92 pitches (60 strikes) in this outing. He's at a 5.17 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 8:9 K:BB through 15.2 innings over four starts as he continues to work his way back to 100 percent after offseason knee and toe surgeries.

Roupp allowed four hits and two walks while striking out five over 6.1 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Tuesday.

Roupp rebounded from his previous outing, in which he allowed four runs (one earned) over four-plus innings against the Tigers. He was excellent Tuesday, throwing 63 of 92 pitches for strikes, but Camilo Doval blew a save chance in the ninth inning and the Giants ultimately lost in the 10th. After an unremarkable start to the season, Roupp has kept runs off the board in three of his last four appearances, a stretch that has also seen him surrender zero home runs in 22.1 innings. Overall, he's at a 3.18 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP and 61:22 K:BB through 62.1 innings over 12 starts. It's unclear when Roupp will next take the mound, as it's possible Justin Verlander (pectoral) comes back to make a start this weekend at home versus Atlanta rather than early next week in Colorado. Roupp would be on regular rest for Sunday's game against Atlanta if Verlander is not activated from the injured list.
