Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zack Greinke (oblique) is expected to make an appearance in an Arizona League game on Friday.
Greinke has been sidelined with a left oblique strain since June 29, but could return to the mound for Arizona after just one appearance in the minors, depending on how he's feeling Wednesday morning. He threw a 40-pitch simulated appearance on Tuesday.
Greinke owns a 3.62 ERA this season (compared to a 3.36 career-average), while his 3.76 xFIP is his highest mark since the 2007 season. He has earned a 2.16 nERD across 109 1/3 innings of work this season, ranking 69th in the majors.
