Royals Activate Veteran Starter

The Kansas City Royals have activated starter Zack Greinke from the 15-day injured list.

The right-handed pitcher rejoined the Royals rotation on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians, going six innings, allowing one run, and one walk while striking out two.

Greinke missed the last two weeks due to tightness in his forearm. 

The thirty-eight-year-old continues to contribute at the major league level, posting a serviceable 4.00 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 66 strikeouts over 114 innings pitched. He has a 4-8 record. Greinke has a phenomenal 1.93 ERA at home this year.

Greinke is in his 19th MLB season, having pitched with the Royals, Milwaukee Brewers, Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks, Houston Astros and now, back with the Royals.
