		Zack Greinke is slated to throw live batting practice Thursday for the first time since returning from an extended absence to deal with psychological issues, according to the KC Star.
		Zack Greinke left the Royals yesterday to tend to what manager Buddy Bell said were "personal matters." Although details of why he went home were not divulged, sources declined to characterize the situation as a "family matter," which suggests that it directly concerns Greinke and not a family member, according to the KC Star.

		According to some sources, Greinke was deeply unenthusiastic at practice on Saturday, and had to be cajoled into participating in team activites.
		Greinke is the Kansas City version of Jeff Francis, a precocious pitching talent upon whom much of his franchise's future hope rests.
		Obviously, it's up to Greinke and his family to make the decisions about what they do or not tell the press, but if it was clinical depression, I think they would be less reticent, since it's treatable and there are precedents of athlete sufferers returning to contribute.
