PHOENIX (AP) – 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 Tuesday’s 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 Tuesday’s 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, he’ll be ready for us after the break. I don’t know if it’s realistic or not. That’s what we’re hoping right now.”
