HBT: Greinke throws for first time since injection

Zack Greinke is running out of time to get ready for the start of the season, but he?s beginning to make progress from his sore right elbow.

According to Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times, Greinke played catch yesterday for the first time since he received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his elbow on Monday. He made a total of 63 throws, first from a distance of 60 feet before stretching things out to 90 feet.

?It was pretty good,? Greinke said, adding that he hoped to increase the number of throws Saturday. ?I don?t think anyone was anticipating it not going good. As expected.?

Greinke will be limited to playing catch for the next several days and it?s unclear when he?ll be ready to throw from a mound. Barring any setbacks, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said that he?ll get two more starts this spring, but even that probably wouldn?t be enough to get him properly stretched out for the start of the season. The Dodgers won?t need a fifth starter for the first time until April 15, so the smart money is on him beginning the season on the disabled list.
