The prize of the Brewers offseason will have to wait a few more weeks before taking the hill. Starter Zack Greinke suffered a fractured rib and will likely miss his first three starts of the season. To make matters worse, he suffered the injury whilst playing basketball.
Fantasy wise: This is a bummer if you already had your draft since he would have likely been a high draft pick. Going forward, I would consider him a serious downgrade. He’ll likely bounce back to form will no ill effects from the injury, however, how many starts after the missed three will it take for him to bounce back. It is one thing to miss three weeks during the season, but he is now missing three solid weeks of spring training as well.
I would target him in the mid to late rounds on draft day or try to sucker one of your league mates into a sell low scenario.
