• AJ Cassavell at MLB.com writes of Greinke's Dodger debut and his elbow.

"I still don't know how it's going to react," Greinke said of pitching every fifth day. "[The elbow] should be fine, but I guess it could pop up again."

• Via Austin Laymance at MLB.com, "Dodgers Hope Zack Greinke is Game Changer in NL West."

"I don't think there are guys on that staff that throw like him," (Giants reliever Jeremy) Affeldt said. "He's pretty methodical with the way he goes about his business and what he does on the mound. I think he brings just a style of pitching that there are not a lot of guys that can add and subtract with their heater like he does. I think they just wanted to add another ace, and they had the money to do it and that's what they did."
