Greinke’s Dodgers debut may be pushed back

The Dodgers said the former Cy Young Award winner felt strong Monday, a day after his first bullpen session since receiving an injection in his pitching elbow.
After signing a $147 million, six-year contract with the Dodgers as a free agent, Greinke has appeared in just two spring-training games for a total of five innings. Greinke pitched on Feb. 24 and March 1, then was slowed due to inflammation in his right elbow and received an injection of plasma and anti-inflammatory medication on March 11.
“He felt good this morning,” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Monday.
Greinke is scheduled to pitch again on Wednesday, possibly in a simulated game at the minor league complex on a day the Dodgers play Kansas City at Surprise.
“We’re not sure just where, but we want to control the outing,” Mattingly said. AP
