Greene last few starts have been solid. I like him ending the season on a high note, with confidence in his ability. I would shut him down for the season.

How does he build up his innings, if he doesn't build up his innings?

If Greene is shut down for the season, how many innings will limited to next year?
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.

Personally, I think that’s an inexact science. I don’t think it will be a problem for him to go. from 106 IP to 140 next season, instead of fro 120 to 140. But if the Reds think that is an issue, they can have him throw on the side the rest of the season.
If they don’t like that option, and think he needs to get to 120 innings, than of course, he should come back to get those innings. I just don’t think it’s that big of a deal.

hopefully this is minor like the one mahle had. fingers crossed.
He will be built up to 200 innings by the time he is ready to be traded for some young prospects

Well, we are not out of the woods yet.
We've heard this story before.. "Just needs rest"
Then right before the next season starts "well, rest didn't fix it, time for surgery"
I'm not saying Greene needs surgery, I am just saying that Reds press release does not make me feel any better. (IMO, all their medical updates are useless for the fans to rely on, they are just far too unreliable)

I think the goal is to build him up to 170-180 innings by 2025, so he can be flipped for prospects.
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob

Hunter Greene is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Thursday with the hope he can rejoin the Reds' rotation in two weeks.
That would give him up to five starts to finish his rookie season.

Five more starts for the Reds could mean 25-30 more innings (131-136) unless pitch counts mean less then 5 innings per start. a couple of rehab starts at Louisville or Chattanooga could add an additional 10 innings (give or take a couple +/-). Might not officially count toward his stats, but they would be IP.
That could leave him 140+ IP, but not sure the Reds want him that high.

they better be absolutely sure he's ready to return. if he re-injures his shoulder pitching in meaningless games in september for one of the worst teams in MLB ... well, that would be the most reds' thing ever.

I imagine the truth was somewhere in the middle. "Injury" can be a tricky word when you're talking about a strain. A stain is just a tear and there are varying degrees. Technically, if you work out hard and your muscles are sore, it's because they've been strained.
I suspect he was having at least some shoulder pain/fatigue (just like virtually every other pitcher in baseball, especially in August), but agree that if it the Reds were in a pennant race, he'd still be pitching.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
