Reds manager Terry Francona confirmed Greene underwent Tommy John revision rather than a less extensive internal brace procedure.
Greene battled elbow issues this year, CBS Sports reported. He didn’t make his first start of the season until last month because of it.
In just five starts, Greene had a 6.83 ERA with 33 strikeouts.
The Reds are currently 58-62 and fourth in the National League Central, sitting 15.5 games behind the division-leading Milwaukee Brewers.
They’re also five games back from a Wild Card spot.
