MLB Note - Arizona Diamondbacks Greinke, Zack

Sep 26, 2017 - 9:48 AM RHP Zack Greinke, the expected choice, was officially named the starter for the Oct. 4 wild card playoff game, manager Torey Lovullo said. Greinke will be pushed back from his next scheduled start Wednesday, making Friday a likely landing point since

Arizona has Thursday off, although Lovullo did not say when Greinke would pitch again. "We want to make sure that Zack is in the right place, and we are going to get a lot of input from him," Lovullo said. "Zack is very good at expressing himself accurately. He knows exactly how he is feeling and exactly where he wants to get to. We would be fools if we didn't rely on his input."
