Greinke’s X-Rays Negative

Luckily for Royals fans, Greinke’s X-rays came back negative and he is expected to make his next scheduled start:

X-rays were taken after the game and were negative, and while Greinke had the imprint of the seams of the ball just above his right elbow, he was fine. His next scheduled start is Tuesday against Boston, but that is still up in the air right now, as it will depend on how he feels during the next couple of days.

“I don’t remember even moving out there, but when I saw it [on video], I thought, ‘Man, I was sort of close to catching it,’” Greinke told the team Web site. “But still not even close, I didn’t even get a glove on it.”

However, it appears that even though Greinke didn’t dodge the ball, his fantasy owners may have dodged a bullet, and if I had to speculate, I would bet that Greinke does indeed make his next scheduled start.
