Greinke Has Struggled in Debut Season with D-Backs

Greinke had one the best seasons of his career in 2015, posting an ERA of 1.66, a 0.84 WHIP and 5.9 wins above replacement, per FanGraphs. That prompted the Diamondbacks to swipe him away from the National League West rival Los Angeles Dodgers with a six-year, $206.5 million deal.

However, Greinke's tenure in the desert got off to a rocky start, as his ERA was over 6.00 for most of April. Despite the rough start, Greinke entered the June 28 game with a 10-3 record, 3.62 ERA and 1.16 WHIP.

The Diamondbacks went all-in by signing Greinke and trading for Shelby Miller to win in 2016. Losing Greinke added to the team's disappointing season, but Arizona will be happy to get him back to see if he can close the season strong.
