Kyrgios was due to play Chase Buchanan in qualifying, but pulled out due to bone stress in his left arm.
Buchanan drew world No.104 Tim Smyczek in the first round.
Kyrgios is expected to be fit for the US Open, which starts on August 25.
He's had a running battle with injury in his young career, but overcame them to win through to the quarter finals at Wimbledon beating then world No.1 Rafeal Nadal along the way.
The current world No.70 was then knocked out by Canadian Milos Raonic.
"Gutted to pull out of @CincyTennis but I've been suffering with bone stress in my left arm. MRI results were positive. Will be okay for USO," Kyrgios tweeted.
Kyrgios made the second round of Masters 1000 tournament Rogers Cup where he was knocked out by world No.9 Andy Murray.
