Zack Greinke On Course For Return Next Week
8 months agoKansas City Royals starting pitcher Zack Greinke (elbow) is lined up to come off the injured list at some point next week, per manager Matt Quatraro. The 39-year-old recently threw a bullpen session in Arizona, and the Royals have come away satisfied with his progress thus far. Greinke hit the 15-day IL on Aug. 8 due to elbow soreness. It's the second time this year the veteran was sent to the IL after he was sidelined for two weeks during July with right shoulder tendinitis. Greinke shows a dull 5.53 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and 73:15 K:BB in 110.2 innings this season. The soft-tossing right-hander may see some streaming scenarios for fantasy purposes down the stretch, but managers should not prioritize Greinke as a stash.
