Zack Greinke will require a corresponding 40-man move to rejoin the Astros’ roster.

After testing positive for COVID-19, Houston Astros right-hander Zack Greinke was placed on the 10-day injured list due to health and safety protocol on Aug. 31. The right-hander is now slated to start on Tuesday against the Texas Rangers, but he is currently off the 40-man roster.

While moving to the IL due to health and safety, it means the player doesn’t count against the 40-man, so the Astros will need to make a corresponding move to add the hurler.
