He's added a 1.06 WHIP and 53:8 K:BB across 57.1 innings this season. The right-hander is expected to make his next start Friday versus the Diamondbacks.

Improves to 3-0 Greinke (3-0) picked up the win Thursday against the Rangers, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk across six innings. He fanned nine.
Impact After being spotted a 4-0 lead in the first inning, Greinke was able to punch out nine on his way to a quality start. The veteran right-hander has yet to take a loss or allow more than three runs in any of his eight starts this season. With Gerrit Cole departing to the Yankees last offseason and Justin Verlander out with a forearm injury, Greinke has done a fantastic job of stepping up at the top of the Astros' rotation. He's slated to start one of the games of Tuesday's doubleheader against Oakland.

Starting Thursday Greinke (neck) will start Thursday's game against the Rangers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Astros could have given the 36-year-old an extra day of rest coming out of Saturday's doubleheader, but he'll remain on four days rest and start Thursday's series finale. Greinke worked through a stiff neck in his last start, but it's apparently no longer a concern. The veteran has a 2.68 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 35:6 K:BB through 40.1 innings this season.

Pitches through stiff neck Greinke (2-0) earned the win in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the A's despite battling a stiff neck throughout the day, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. He allowed th...
Impact Houston had a backup option warming up before first pitch just in case, but Greinke was able to loosen up his neck while going through warmups. He still delivered 96 pitches, so he didn't appear to be on any workload restrictions. Greinke has a 2.68 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 35:6 K:BB through 40.1 innings, and it appears he'll be okay for his next turn through the rotation, though it's worth keeping an eye on his status over the next few days.

Yields three runs in no-decision Greinke allowed three runs on four hits and two walks over six innings Sunday, striking out four in the loss to San Diego. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact Greinke held the Padres without a hit through three innings before they tagged him with three runs in a brutal fourth frame. San Diego didn't take the lead until an eighth-inning shot by Manny Machado, so Greinke will maintain his perfect 1-0 record. For the season, he owns a 2.29 ERA and 29:6 K:BB across 35.1 frames. The 36-year-old righty will take on the Athletics at home Friday.
