Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke surrendered two earned runs in two innings in his spring debut Wednesday but said after the outing that he feels "really good healthwise," MLB.com reports.
Greinke is using the spring schedule to not only get healthy after receiving a precautionary elbow injection when camp opened but to also tinker with his pitches.
"I've been trying to make the slider better than last year, but it hasn't worked," Greinke said. "I'm trying to figure if I keep trying or go back to last year's. I'm trying everything. It looks good, but I'm giving up more hits than normal."
Greinke added that his changeup was "pretty good" and that his fastball was "OK, just not perfect." He'll likely only get to make four spring starts after being delayed early in camp and said he "should" be ready to take the mound for the second game of the regular season.
