Zack Greinke (groin) likely out for Diamondbacks on Opening Day
Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zack Greinke (groin) will not be ready for Opening Day, based on comments from manager Torey Lovullo.
"My mindset is to not have him play catch-up for one day during the season," said Lovullo. "We want to make sure he’s strong from Day 1 until the end of the season." Greinke exited Wednesday's start due to groin tightness but this doesn't sound like a long-term concern. Robbie Ray will probably get the nod for Arizona on Opening Day.
numberFire's models project Greinke to record a 3.30 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and 22.5 strikeout percentage while going 14-9 across 199 1/3 innings this season.
