Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke is planning to face hitters Saturday, according to MLB.com.
Greinke is dealing with a calf injury, but continues to make progress. He's been able to throw bullpen sessions this week, and is ready to take the next step. It's still unlikely Greinke will make the trip to Australia, but does seem to be making progress.
Greinke posted a 2.63 ERA in 177 2/3 innings last year.
