Impact Greinke allowed four runs on 10 hits and no walks while striking out three in 5.1 innings Tuesday against the Twins and will get a few extra days of rest prior to his next start. Max Castillo is expected to be called up from Triple-A Omaha to start Sunday's game against the Mariners at home.

Allows 10 hits Greinke gave up four runs on 10 hits and struck out three in 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Tuesday.
Impact The 10 hits allowed matched a season high for Greinke, though he managed to avoid issuing a walk for the first time in four starts. The veteran right-hander continues to struggle with pitching deep into games, as he's failed to complete six frames in three of his last four outings. For the season, he has a 4.21 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 70:25 K:BB through 124 innings across 24 starts. Greinke is projected for a home start versus the Mariners in his next outing.

The veteran has been solid in his last five starts, turning in a 2.39 ERA over 26.1 innings. The 38-year-old has staggering home/road splits, posting a 1.93 ERA and a 4-2 record during 11 starts in Kansas City compared to a 6.36 ERA and 0-7 record in 12 starts on the road.

Dealing with forearm cramping Greinke was removed from Sunday's start against the Rays after the fourth inning due to cramping in his right forearm, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Greinke experienced a cramp in his forearm in the fourth inning and was able to finish the frame, but the Royals elected to remove him from the game as a precautionary measure. The team will wait to see how he feels Monday before determining his status going forward. If he's cleared to make his next start, Greinke tentatively lines up to start at home against the Padres on Saturday.

Strikes out three in no-decision Greinke allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three in five innings in an 8-6 win Sunday over the Yankees. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Greinke was excellent through the first four innings, allowing just one hit and holding New York scoreless. In the fifth, three of the first four batters reached safely with DJ LeMahieu capped off the scoring with a two-run blast.

Settles for no-decision Monday Greinke did not factor in the decision against the Angels on Monday despite pitching five scoreless innings during which he allowed three hits and one walk while striking out five.
Impact The outing was nearly a carbon copy of Greinke's start against Cleveland on July 10, when he posted the same line of five innings, three hits, one walk and five punchouts. However, the veteran hurler picked up a win in that contest while he had to settle for a no-decision Monday against his former club. Greinke had picked up a win or a loss in each of his previous seven appearances prior to this one, and he had won three of his past five outings. The right-hander owns a mediocre 4.35 ERA overall, but he's allowed one or zero runs in four of his past six starts.

Impact The 38-year-old righty is now less than 150 strikeouts away from 3,000 for his career, but that was about the only positive takeaway from Friday's outing as Greinke got the hook after 83 pitches (49 strikes). He'll carry a 4.64 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 42:15 K:BB through 77.2 innings on the year into the All-Star break.
