The Cincinnati Reds activated right-hander Hunter Greene from the 15-day injured list Wednesday. Chase Burns was originally slated to pitch the series finale, but the Reds have not yet announced what’s next for the rookie.

The Reds still trail the New York Mets for the third and final wild-card spot in the National League and have their work cut out for them.

Hunter Greene, the Cincinnati Reds ’ Opening Day starter, made his long-anticipated return from a double dip on the injured list for a Grade 1 groin strain and dominated the powerful Philadelphia Phillies lineup on Wednesday night for six scoreless innings.
