MLB.com reports that Dodgers starting pitcher Zack Greinke threw only 12 pitches in his Sunday bullpen session. Though the Dodgers have named Ricky Nolasco as the starter for Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the Cardinals, Greinke's short bullpen session could make it possible that he would be sufficiently rested to make that start on only three days rest.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said the team had not yet considered moving Greinke into Tuesday's start, but acknowledged the temptation of using his top two starters, Greinke and Clayton Kershaw, on short rest. Mattingly said, "It always makes sense any time you mention those two guys' names. But it's something, as I said, we haven't talked about at this point."
