LOS ANGELES -- D-backs first baseman Paul Goldschmidt said an MRI taken of his right elbow this morning showed no structural damage, only inflammation, and he could be back in the lineup as soon as Wednesday.
Goldschmidt had been experiencing some discomfort in the elbow for the last week or so and the team thought it best to have some precautionary tests done, so he flew from Los Angeles to Phoenix on Monday and returned late Tuesday afternoon.
The D-backs will call on National League Cy Young candidate Zack Greinke as they aim to extend their winning streak to 12 straight Tuesday night against Hyun-Jin Ryu and the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.
