Reds ace Hunter Greene is on the injured list with an elbow injury.

While it isn't considered serious, Greene apparently he suffered the initial injury by hitting his arm on a cabinet.

Reds President Nick Krall shared details about the injury and how it happened with Jim Day.

"He hit his elbow on a cabinet hard, didn't think anything about it, made his next start and then started feeling some soreness or some pain in there. Discomfort we'll call it," Day said. "That bruise that happened while hitting it on a cabinet—he went out and pitched and it spreads the bruise. It's such a tedious area, particularly an elbow for a pitcher."

The good news is Greene isn't expected to miss much time. The downside is he was having his best season (by far) and now he's dealing with an injury.

Listen to Day tell the full story below.
