Zack Greinke Could Miss Opening Day with Groin Injury, Torey Lovullo Says

Arizona Diamondbacks ace Zack Greinke is in danger of missing the team's Opening Day game against the Colorado Rockies on March 29 due to a groin injury.

According to Nick Piecoro of AZCentral.com, Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said he doesn't want to rush Greinke back into action: "He's going to have to get ahead of it and be well ahead of it before he puts himself in [position to start Opening Day]. My mindset is to not have him play catch-up for one day during the season. We want to make sure he's strong from Day 1 until the end of the season.
