Greinke and Irving out, Niners get Boldin

1. Zack Greinke of the Dodgers will be out for several days following his diagnosis of elbow inflammation in his throwing arm. The Dodgers signed him to a deal worth over $147 million after a season Greinke spent with the Brewers and Angels which was also his first year outside of the Royals organization.

Shaun Livingston will start in place of Irving and rookie Dion Waiters is expected to get some minutes at the one-spot as well.

Boldin helped the Ravens beat the Niners in the Super Bowl and had 380 receiving yards during the post season. The Ravens will get a sixth round draft pick in return for Boldin; the team had earlier asked Boldin to take a paycut as the team was close to the cap.

All Notre Dame has to do is forfeit the rights to any money that the league will bring in due to exit and entrance fees.
