Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona spoke with reporters on Thursday before they face off against the Detroit Tigers and shared an update on starting pitcher Hunter Greene. Greene went to Los Angeles to get a second opinion on his injured groin, but it showed nothing worse than the first opinion, according to The Enquirer's Gordon Wittenmyer.

The second opinion Greene received on his right groin strain Friday reinforced the initial diagnosis, though he also received an epidural for back soreness that surfaced during his last start, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
