Eligibility
The representatives of Zack Greinke have reportedly communicated to MLB teams that he's preparing to pitch in 2024 and is open to contract talks.
Fantasy Impact
It would be the 21st season for Greinke. He posted a 5.06 ERA across 27 starts last season for Kansas City and would likely land towards the end of the rotation of whoever he signs with.
Pitcher Zack Greinke is still in the process of deciding whether or not he will pitch in 2024.
Fantasy Impact
The long-time big-leaguer and potential Hall of Famer made 30 appearances in 2023, 27 of which were starts, but scuffled to a 5.06 ERA, his worst mark since a 5.80 ERA as a sophomore in 2005. The right-hander owns a career 3.49 ERA in 20 MLB seasons between the Royals, Brewers, Dodgers, D-backs, and Astros.
Despite a solid performance on Tuesday, allowing just one hit and one walk over five scoreless innings while striking out five, Greinke's overall numbers this season have been disappointing.
Fantasy Impact
With a 5.18 ERA and a 4.52 K/BB ratio, it's clear that the veteran pitcher has struggled to consistently perform at a high level. Fantasy managers should approach Greinke with caution moving forward, as his lack of wins (1) and high number of losses (15) further dampen his value.
The Royals placed Zack Greinke on the 15-day IL with right elbow soreness.
Fantasy Impact
Greinke was removed from his last start after struggling, so it’s possible the elbow soreness was a contributing factor to his poor performance. Fantasy managers should expect the Royals to provide a timetable for his return sometime next week.
Greinke delivered a solid outing, allowing just one earned run on four hits over five innings of work, while not issuing a walk and striking out three.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the strong performance, Greinke was not able to secure a win as the Royals edged out the Mets by a score of 7-6. On the season, Greinke now has a 5.32 ERA, a 1.25 WHIP, and a 5.8 K/9 through 21 starts.
