• Diamondbacks' Zack Greinke: Misses out on two-start week

  17H ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Greinke is scheduled to make his next start Monday against the Rockies in Colorado, Shaun O'Neill of MLB.com reports. Much to the chagrin of Greinke's fantasy managers, the Diamondbacks' decision to add a fifth starter (Taylor Clarke) to their rotation Saturday in San Francisco will result in the ace missing out on a cushy two-start week. After turning in his eighth consecutive quality start in Tuesday's loss to San Diego, Greinke will now be challenged to keep that streak going when he returns to the hill at the hitters' haven that is Coors Field.

• Diamondbacks' Zack Greinke: Notches 2,500th K in loss

  2D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Greinke (6-2) took the loss against San Diego on Tuesday, pitching seven innings and allowing three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five. Greinke was rolling until the sixth, when a Manny Machado run-scoring single and a two-run homer off the bat of Eric Hosmer gave the Padres a lead they would not relinquish. On a positive note, the Arizona ace threw 98 pitches and showed no lingering signs of the abdominal tightness that forced him out of his previous start. He also became the fifth active pitcher to reach the 2,500 strikeout mark with a whiff of Franmil Reyes in the fourth inning. Despite the loss, Greinke extended his streak of quality starts to 10. He will carry his elite 2.89 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 67:9 K:BB into his next start in San Francisco on Sunday.

  Greinke's abdominal MRI came back clean Friday, and he'll throw a bullpen session Saturday before the Diamondbacks determine whether he'll require a stay to the injured list, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. Greinke departed Wednesday's start against Pittsburgh with abdominal tightness, but his MRI brought good news. Even if a trip to the shelf is needed, Arizona doesn't expect Greinke to miss more than two starts.
