Zack Greinke returns to Cactus League mound as Dodgers face Royals

Zack Greinke makes hit return to the mound in a Cactus League game for the first time since Mar. 1 on Monday night, as the Dodgers battle one of Greinke's former teams, the Royals in Surprise.

Adrian Gonzalez returns to the lineup after missing Sunday's contest in Phoenix. Gonzalez was hit near the elbow on his right arm on Saturday night by ex-teammate Jake Peavy, and the area was still swollen on Sunday morning. Gonzalez, who took batting practice on Sunday, said that he feels fine on Monday and that had the injury occurred during the regular season he would have played through it.
