Zack Greinke 'Ailing Some' With Soreness In Arm

Oct 7, 2020 8:44 AM

The Houston Astros got some tough injury news on Tuesday night.

Zack Greinke is dealing with "some soreness in his arm," according to Dusty Baker. Jose Urquidy will take the ball in Game 3 opposite the Oakland Athletics' Jesus Luzardo.

Greinke 36, hasn't completed six innings since Sept. 8 and has a 5.79 ERA over his past four starts.

"Greinke's ailing some," Baker said. "He didn't say much about it, but it was pretty evident the last three or four starts that he wasn't himself."

Rhys Hoskins Out 4-6 Months After Elbow Surgery

Oct 6, 2020 8:13 AM

Rhys Hoskins had surgery to repair a ligament tear in his left elbow last week and the Philadelphia Phillies say he's expected to return to play in four to six months.

Hoskins injured the ulnar collateral ligament when his non-throwing arm collided with a baserunner on Sept. 12.

The procedure was not a full reconstruction, so Hoskins' recovery time is expected to be shorter than it would be for Tommy John surgery.
