Zack Greinke Joins Royals' Injured List

The Kansas City Royals have placed right-hander Zack Greinke on the 15-day injured list due to right posterior elbow soreness. Greinke, who is having one of the worst seasons of his career, will be out for at least two weeks. Left-hander Taylor Hearn has been recalled as a corresponding move. Greinke is just five strikeouts away from reaching the 3,000 milestone, a feat achieved by only 19 other pitchers in history.

"Royals' Star Pitcher Zack Greinke Sidelined with Injury"

The Kansas City Royals have placed pitcher Zack Greinke on the 15-day injured list due to shoulder tendinitis. The team is hopeful that Greinke may only miss one turn in the rotation, thanks to the upcoming All-Star Break. If he's unable to return around the time he's first eligible, it could have implications for the trade market, as Greinke is respected enough to draw attention from other clubs. Despite his absence, the Royals' poor performance this season is unlikely to change. Greinke, who is playing on an $8.5MM salary, could potentially be traded even if he's not back on the mound by August 1.

"D-backs designate Beer, promote Pfaadt in latest roster moves"

The Arizona Diamondbacks have designated infielder Seth Beer for assignment, adding to the poor return on the trade of ace pitcher Zack Greinke four years ago. Only two players, Josh Rojas and Corbin Martin, remain in the D-backs' control from the trade. Beer, who was eighth on Baseball America's 2019 midseason top prospect list, struggled in Triple-A Reno and hit .200 with 12 RBIs and 22 total bases over 70 at-bats this year. Meanwhile, Rojas has been the one player to meet and surpass expectations, playing 18 of 24 games at third base in 2023 and slashing .289/.327/.378 with 26 hits, eight doubles and 16 RBIs in 24 games.
