The Cincinnati Reds signed starting pitcher Wade Miley to a Major League contract on Wednesday and placed Hunter Greene on the injured list with a right groin strain. They also transferred Rhett Lowder to the 60-day injured list.

Greene, who exited a May 7 start against Atlanta with the initial groin strain, tossed 85 pitches over five innings (no decision) on Tuesday against the Brewers. Francona indicated during his pre-game meeting with reporters that Greene would have the opportunity for a longer start.
