PHOENIX -- Zack Greinke has been placed on the disabled list for the first time in three years.Arizona made the move Sunday after the ace right-hander was diagnosed with a left oblique strain. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to Wednesday.Greinke left Tuesdays game against Philadelphia after two innings. The injury apparently occurred when Greinke hit a sacrifice fly.Signed to a six-year, $206.5 million contract in the offseason, Greinke is 10-3 with a 3.62 ERA. He had won seven of eight starts with a 2.18 ERA before Tuesdays outing.With all the testing they did and him not feeling any better, he agreed that the best course of action is to go on the DL, Arizona manager Chip Hale said. Hopefully, hell be ready for us after the break. I dont know if its realistic or not. Thats what were hoping right now.Greinke said the injury has improved.Its getting better, but not ready for game action and more than likely wouldnt be in those 10-11 days before the All-Star break he said.Greinke said he had a timetable in his mind but wouldnt reveal it publicly because if I am wrong it just looks stupid.Rest is how it heals, he said. I guess it depends how bad it is. There are a couple of little things they do. Who knows if it actually helps, but you still do it in case it does help.Runnner-up to the Chicago Cubs Jake Arrieta for the NL Cy Young Award last season, Greinke had made 106 straight starts since April 11, 2013, when broke his collarbone in a brawl with San Diego.Its important for us not to lose him for a long period of time, Hale said. It would be only two starts if we could get him back after the break, which would be huge.Greinke joins his Los Angeles Dodgers teammate from last season, Clayton Kershaw, who is on the DL with a lower back injury.Diamondbacks All-Star center fielder A.J. Pollock has missed the entire season after fracturing his elbow in a head-first slide at home in a warmup game just before the opener. Right fielder David Peralta has been out since June 15 with a lower back sprain. The Diamondbacks hope Peralta can return after the All-Star break.Outfielder Rickie Weeks Jr. returned from bereavement leave and took Greinkes roster spot. Through the first four weeks of the NFL season, the Minnesota Vikings defense is giving up just 12.5 points per game, and they have forced a league-high 11 turnovers. Its a suffocating unit under Mike Zimmer -- one that is allowing just 4.64 yards per play -- thanks to its versatility, speed and the ability to get after the quarterback.The Vikings trade for Sam Bradford before the season signaled to the rest of the league that they were ready to win a Super Bowl now. And after watching the tape, its clear they have the defense to carry them all the way. Heres why:Three levels of talentThe past three weeks, the Vikings have completely shhut down some of the NFLs best quarterbacks --?Aaron Rodgers, Cam Newton and Eli Manning.dddddddddddd. That trio managed just 34 points over 180 minutes of football and posted a measly Total QBR of 28.5, which would rank dead last in the NFL right now.?In short, the Vikings defense is built to defend modern-day NFL offenses because they have skilled players at all three levels who run and hit and play with speed.?Think about it: If youre an offensive coordinator, which Vikings defender do you scheme against?
