The Royals have placed pitcher Zack Greinke on the 15-day Injured List with right-shoulder tendinitis and have called up pitcher Dylan Coleman from Triple-A Omaha. Greinke exited his start on Tuesday in the sixth inning with shoulder discomfort. Yesterday, manager Matt Quatraro called it a mild discomfort and “nothing overly concerning”.
Greinke had a 5.44 ERA in 18 starts this year with the second-lowest walk rate of all qualified starters. He expressed some frustration after a rough start a few weeks ago, saying “there’s never really an at-bat I feel like I’m completely in control anymore.
