Greinke, who signed a six-year, $147 million contract in December, threw a bullpen session Friday, but reported the irritation after playing catch on Sunday. He was scheduled to meet with Dr. Neal ElAttrache and to return to the Dodgers' spring training facility in Arizona later Monday afternoon.
The Dodgers said the exam was precautionary.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Greinke had a MRI last week that detected no ligament damage.

Remember a few years ago, when he basically stopped throwing his slider because he wanted to save his elbow for when it mattered?
Hmmmmmmm...
