Shaky in season debut Greinke allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two over 3.1 innings in Sunday's loss to the Mariners. He didn't factor into the decision.
Impact Although Greinke struggled in his first start of 2020, he picked up a no-decision in Sunday's high-scoring contest. The 36-year-old will be leaned on as one of the most proven arms in the rotation in the coming weeks with Justin Verlander (forearm) set to miss time. Greinke posted a 2.93 ERA and 0.98 ERA over 208.2 innings in 33 starts with the Diamondbacks and Astros last season. He'll attempt to turn things around on the road Saturday against the Angels.

Reaches 80 pitches Greinke threw 80 pitches in a simulated game Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Getting to 80 pitches in his final tune-up outing suggests that Greinke should be able to come close to 100 pitches in his first outing of the regular season. While he's seemingly the Astros' second-best starter, he lines up to start the third game of the year Sunday against the Mariners, with Lance McCullers, who made his final preseason appearance Monday, in line to start Saturday.

Tires in fourth Greinke threw 54 pitches before tiring in the fourth inning during Thursday's intrasquad game, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact It should be alarming that pitchers across the league are up to 70, 80, 90 pitches, but Greinke is stuck in the 50s. He'll have one more camp tuneup to build up his pitch count before the regular season, but the right-hander could be one of those pitchers not yet ready to get deep into a game. He admitted following the outing that he was not in midseason form. "Today, I really got tired in the last inning," Greinke said. "So next time we'll try for 75 [pitches] or so, but it's possible it will only be 60. Possible it will be 80. I don't know. I'm hoping for more than 50." This is why teams will carry up to 15 or 16 pitchers for the first two weeks of the season. Although Greinke's expected to serve as the Astros' No. 2 starter, the date of his first start has yet to be determined.

Throws live BP Greinke threw one inning of live batting practice Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Catcher Martin Maldonado said Greinke was sharp and described his velocity as "in-season" during the pitcher's first session of summer camp. He threw fewer innings than most other starters at this stage of camp, so it's fair to wonder if he'll be up to five innings in time for the regular season.
