Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Zack Greinke tossed five scoreless innings of two-hit ball and matched a season-high with six strikeouts against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. The 39-year-old settled for a no-decision in a 2-1 defeat. Greinke improved his ERA to 4.19 and WHIP to 1.14 this year.

Zack Greinke Unlikely To Find Fountain Of Youth Against Brewers rotoballer.com Sat 5/13/23 9:38 AM

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Zack Greinke toes the rubber against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. The 39-year-old presents an uninspiring 5.13 ERA in his 20th campaign, but a respectable 1.32 WHIP serves as the saving grace for his fantasy value. The six-time all-star's annually-low walk rate may entice desperate fantasy managers into streaming Greinke, but he holds a 1-5 record across 55 career innings against Milwaukee. The soft hurler owns a seemingly passable 4.09 ERA in 10 career...

Although the Kansas City Royals don't necessarily need veteran starting pitcher Zack Greinke in 2023, they remain interested in re-signing him. The potential Hall of Famer will probably need to accept a low base salary that could grow with incentives based on innings pitched if he wants to return to KC, according to sources familiar with the team's thinking.

Royals Still Interested In Zack Greinke rotoballer.com Tue 12/20/22 4:26 PM

The Kansas City Royals remain interested in rotation help and re-signing Zack Greinke.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Zack Greinke was at his best Tuesday, throwing seven shutout innings in a 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers. He allowed four hits and one walk while striking out two. Fantasy managers have come to expect this type of outing from Greinke, solid innings with limited strikeout upside.

Zack Greinke To Return And Start On Wednesday rotoballer.com Mon 9/5/22 7:04 PM
