Outlook: Greinke, SP, LAD 0:52
Zack Greinke is in a strong position to continue his longstanding run as one of baseball’s best arms, coming off a 17-win season in 2014
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Dodgers manager Don Mattingly on Thursday confirmed that he plans to start Zack Greinke on Wednesday and Hyun-Jin Ryu the following day.
Both players missed their first Spring Training start with physical issues. Greinke from a maintenance elbow injection, and Ryu with mid-back stiffness.
Outlook: Ryu, SP, LAD
Outlook: Ryu excels on the mound when healthy
Hyun-Jin Ryu went 14-7 with a 3.38 ERA despite suffering several injuries in ’14, but he could be positioned for his best season yet in 2015
Greinke will throw live batting practice on Friday and start five days later. Ryu will follow a similar cycle, throwing batting practice on Saturday and starting on Thursday.
Their returns were orchestrated to keep the rotation in order, with Brandon McCarthy starting Sunday, Brett Anderson on Monday and Clayton Kershaw starting on Tuesday.
