Greene (groin) threw a 35-pitch bullpen session Sunday, Charlie Goldsmith of MLB.com reports.

Greene was enthused following the outing, noting no issues with his strained right groin and displaying good velocity. The right-hander will throw another session this week, but the Reds haven't announced when Greene is projected to return from the 15-day injured list. He's eligible for activation Friday.

Gil (lat) is on track with his throwing program and is targeting a return to the mound within the next 1-to-2 weeks, per MLB.com.

Gil sustained a right lat strain in late February, resulting in a trip to the injured list to begin the campaign. The right-hander kicked off a throwing program in late April and appears to be making gradual but steady progress toward a return. If Gil continues to move forward without any setbacks, he could be pitching for the Yankees sometime in June.

Brubaker (ribs) struck out three batters and gave up one hit and no walks over three scoreless innings in his rehab start Sunday with High-A Hudson Valley.

Making the first start of what could an extended rehab assignment, Brubaker tossed 37 pitches (23 strikes). The right-hander spent the entire 2024 season on the shelf while completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and though he was cleared for the start of spring training, he broke three ribs when he was hit by a comebacker in a Feb. 21 Grapefruit League game. Expect Brubaker to eventually move his assignment up to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before potentially returning from the 60-day injured list in early or mid-June.

Musgrove (elbow) is expected to begin throwing from 90 feet during the upcoming week, per MLB.com.

Musgrove continues to rehab from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in October. The veteran hurler has been traveling with San Diego and playing catch three times per week. Musgrove has thrown up to 75 feet so far, so the plan for him to move up to 90 feet represents a slight increase. The right-hander isn't likely to be able to pitch in games until next season.

Fried didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's win over the Mets, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with eight strikeouts over six innings.

Fried's excellent start to 2025 continued Sunday, as he notched his seventh quality start in his last eight appearances while allowing no extra-base hits. The 31-year-old has yet to allow more than two earned runs in a start this season and has punched out eight or more hitters in three outings. Fried is tied for the league lead in wins (six) and sits atop MLB in ERA (1.29) among qualified players.

Peterson didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's loss to the Yankees, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks across six innings. He struck out four.

Peterson started slowly, with leadoff hitter Paul Goldschmidt reaching on a throwing error in the first inning before back-to-back doubles by Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger yielded a pair of runs. The 29-year-old southpaw kept the Yankees from adding any more runs, but his efforts weren't enough to land a victory. Peterson has now logged three consecutive quality starts, though he's walked 11 batters in 18.0 innings during that stretch. On the year, Peterson has a 2.86 ERA over 50.1 innings. He's lined up to face the Dodgers next weekend.

Oritz (2-5) yielded two runs on six hits and two walks over five innings Sunday, striking out seven and taking a loss against the Reds.

Ortiz worked around some danger to keep Cincinnati off the board for three innings before serving up a two-run shot to Will Benson in the fourth. Ortiz has struck out at least seven batters in five of his nine starts this season, resulting in a 56:23 K:BB through 48.1 frames. He threw 100 pitches for the third time this season and generated 16 whiffs, including nine with his slider. Ortiz will carry a 4.66 ERA into his next matchup, which is projected to be in Detroit.

Abbott (3-0) yielded four hits and three walks over five shutout innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over the Guardians.

Abbott kept Cleveland scoreless for five frames but needed to work around some danger, including a bases-loaded threat in the first inning. He tied his season high with 96 pitches and forced 16 swinging strikes, including eight with his fastball. Abbott has allowed fewer than two runs in six of his seven starts this season, resulting in a terrific 1.80 ERA and a 43:15 K:BB through 35 frames. His next matchup is expected to be at home against the Cubs.

Bello (2-1) took the loss against Atlanta on Sunday, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and five walks with three strikeouts over 4.1 innings

Bello dealt with constant traffic on the basepaths and managed just 52 strikes on 92 pitches, generating only four whiffs. After allowing only seven earned runs over his first five starts, the 26-year-old has now failed to complete five innings in three consecutive outings. He'll carry a 4.02 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 20:19 K:BB across 31.1 innings into a home matchup with the Orioles next weekend.

Schwellenbach (3-3) earned the win against the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk with three strikeouts over seven innings.

Schwellenbach surrendered a grand slam to Rafael Devers in the third inning but otherwise turned in six scoreless frames. The 24-year-old needed just 81 pitches to notch his second consecutive seven-inning outing, though he's recorded only six strikeouts over those two starts. He'll carry a 3.52 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 49:12 K:BB across 61.1 innings into a home matchup with the Padres next weekend.
