Zack Greinke - S - Dodgers

Dodgers activated RHP Zack Greinke from the 15-day disabled list.

Greinke will get the ball on Wednesday against the Nationals. The righty will be limited a bit pitch count-wise since he threw just 80 in his lone rehab start. Greinke was expected to miss eight weeks with a broken collarbone but wound up missing under five.

Zack Greinke - S - Dodgers

Zack Greinke (collarbone) will be activated from the disabled list to start on Wednesday against the Nationals.

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly on Monday hedged about the possibility of Greinke returning Wednesday, but it was viewed as likely all along. The right-hander threw 80 pitches in his rehab start, so he'll be limited a bit from a pitch count standpoint Wednesday. Still, it's obviously a much-needed immediate boost to the Dodgers' rotation.

Zack Greinke - S - Dodgers

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said the club is undecided on where Zack Greinke (collarbone) will start on Wednesday.

Greinke's stamina is built back up enough, but the Dodgers are worried about him re-injuring his healing collarbone in another mishap. A decision on the right-hander's status will obviously be made soon.

Zack Greinke - S - Dodgers

Zack Greinke (collarbone) reported feeling no pain or discomfort after Friday's rehab start and has deemed himself ready to start on Wednesday against the Nationals.

With the plethora of injuries that the Dodgers have experienced in their rotation already this season, they'll be glad to have Greinke back. He may show some rust early on, so fantasy owners may want to hold off for a start or two before re-inserting him into lineups. But he should eventually be an ace in all standard formats.

Zack Greinke - S - Dodgers

Zack Greinke (collarbone) allowed eight runs (three earned) over 4 1/3 innings Friday in a rehab start with High-A Rancho Cucamonga.

The defense made three errors behind him, so the results were pretty meaningless. Greinke stretched it out to 80 pitches and was reportedly hitting as high as 91 mph on the radar gun. He didn't have any issues with his collarbone, so the plan calls for him to jump right back into the Dodgers' rotation on Wednesday against the Nationals. Some rust is possible, but the scuffling Dodgers will take what they can get from the $147 million man.

Zack Greinke - S - Dodgers

Zack Greinke (collarbone) is expected to rejoin the Dodgers' rotation on May 15 for a start against the Nationals.

Apparently the one rehab start on Friday at High-A Rancho Cucamonga is all he will need. Greinke is slated to throw around 75 pitches Friday, so he'll probably be on a pitch count against the Nats, but he should be able to stretch it out to 90 or so. The right-hander was supposed to miss eight weeks with his fractured collarbone, but it will wind up being less than five.

Zack Greinke - S - Dodgers

Zack Greinke (collarbone) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Friday.

Greinke threw about 60 pitches during his most recent bullpen session on Tuesday, so he shouldn't need too long to get stretched out. Barring a setback, we should see him back in the Dodgers' rotation in a couple weeks.

Zack Greinke - S - Dodgers

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday that Zack Greinke (collarbone) has touched 90 mph on the radar gun during his recent bullpen sessions.

Greinke threw about 60 pitches during his most recent bullpen session on Tuesday. He started throwing less than three weeks after collarbone surgery, so he hasn't lost much arm strength. The original timetable called for him to be out until the early part of June, but he appears to be ahead of schedule at the moment.

Zack Greinke - S - Dodgers

The Dodgers are hopeful Zack Greinke (collarbone) can return to the rotation in two or three weeks after his successful bullpen session on Saturday.

Greinke was originally estimated to be out two months with the collarbone fracture, but he's about three weeks ahead of schedule according to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times. That timetable would put him on track to rejoin the club by the end of May.

Zack Greinke - S - Dodgers

Zack Greinke is ahead of schedule in his return from a broken collarbone, according to Ken Gurnick of MLB.com.

Greinke threw a full bullpen session Saturday, just three weeks to the day after he had surgery to repair his broken collarbone. Greinke was originally estimated to miss two months due to the injury, putting him on pace for a mid-June return. But after Saturday's successful bullpen, he's apparently ahead of that timetable. How much further ahead is still unclear, but it's certainly a good sign for Greinke and the Dodgers.

Zack Greinke - S - Dodgers

Zack Greinke (collarbone) threw from a distance of 90 feet on Monday.

Pretty impressive considering that Greinke had surgery to repair his fractured left collarbone less than three weeks ago. "It's still a little achy here and there, but nothing worse than what you would expect, I think," said Greinke. "You try not to have setbacks but at the same time do what you can." While it's nice to hear that Greinke is making progress, he's not close to throwing from a mound and isn't expected to rejoin the Dodgers' rotation until sometime around mid-June.

Zack Greinke - S - Dodgers

J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News writes that "there's still no timetable" for Zack Greinke (collarbone) to resume throwing off a mound.

Greinke was recently cleared to throw on flat ground from 90 feet, but he's in the early stages of his recovery at this point. The Dodgers don't expect to have him available until around mid-June.

Zack Greinke - S - Dodgers

Bleacher Report's Will Carroll reports that Zack Greinke (collarbone) is scheduled to resume throwing early next week.

It seems like a pretty swift recovery, as Greinke underwent surgery to repair his fractured left collarbone just 12 days ago. Carroll says the righty is not ahead of schedule, though, and was always expected to resume throwing at that time. The right-hander isn't expected back until mid-June.

Zack Greinke - S - Dodgers

Zack Greinke underwent a 90-minute procedure on Saturday to repair his fractured left collarbone.

Greinke had a metal rod placed in his clavicle to stabilize the bone and is not expected to return to the Dodgers' rotation until mid-June. He suffered the fracture on Thursday night when he was charged by Padres outfielder Carlos Quentin. Chris Capuano will take Greinke's spot and is worth a try in mixed leagues.
