Zack Greinke start pushed back to Monday

PHOENIX -- Right-hander Zack Greinke, scratched from his scheduled start Wednesday with what the Dodgers say was illness, will wait until his turn in the rotation comes up again Monday before making his third appearance of the spring.

Greinke has pitched five innings this spring, allowing two runs and six hits.

He missed his last bullpen session Sunday because of forearm tightness but worked out Thursday.

Scott Elbert, who had surgery on his left elbow last season, threw for the first time Wednesday and reported no problems.

Elbert took Thursday off.

But Chris Withrow, who hadn’t thrown this spring because of lower back pain, was back on the mound Thursday.
