NEW YORK -- A lot has changed for Arizona pitcher Zack Greinke and the New York Mets since they last saw one another. Greinke will do his best Tuesday night to send the Mets another step closer to joining his Diamondbacks in playing out the string on Tuesday night.Greinke is scheduled to come off the disabled list and start against the Mets in the opener of a three-game series at Citi Field on Tuesday.It will be the first time Greinke faces the Mets since last Oct. 15, when he allowed three runs over 6 2/3 innings and took the loss as the Mets edged the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 in the decisive Game 5 of the National League Division Series.Greinke made one of the most surprising decisions of the off-season six weeks later, when he signed a six-year deal with the Diamondbacks worth $206 million instead of returning to the Dodgers, for whom he had formed a lethal 1-2 punch atop the rotation with left-hander Clayton Kershaw.The decision has not worked out as anticipated for either the Diamondbacks or Greinke. Arizona expected to challenge the Dodgers and San Francisco Giants for the NL West crown but entered Monday with a 45-66 record, tied for the second-worst mark in the majors.Greinke is a robust 10-3, but his ERA of 3.62 is more than twice as high as the 1.66 ERA he fashioned last year. He appeared to be rounding into peak form in June, when he posted a 1.63 ERA in six starts before suffering a left oblique injury on June 28. He said he felt fine in a rehab start for Triple-A Reno last Wednesday, when he gave up five runs over five innings and hoped the poor results werent a harbinger of things to come in the majors.Theyve always been really bad outings for me, Greinke said, referring to previous rehab stints. And then I always do bad once I get back to the big leagues, too. Hopefully that part will change.The defending NL champion Mets will be looking for some change themselves. New York (54-51) has not won two straight games since July 6-7 yet finished play Sunday just two games behind the Miami Marlins in the race for the NLs second wild-card spot.Weve got to start winning some games, said Mets outfielder Michael Conforto, who homered in Sundays 3-1 win over the Detroit Tigers. I think we know were going to get hot here sometime soon. So there is that urgency.Left-hander Steven Matz is scheduled to take the mound for the Mets against Greinke. Matz took the loss in his most recent start last Wednesday, when he gave up six runs over six innings as the Mets fell to the New York Yankees 9-5 at Yankee Stadium. The loss dropped Matz to 1-7 in his last 12 starts, a stretch in which he has a 4.54 ERA. Delino DeShields Jr. Rangers Jersey .

A University of Virginia spokesman confirmed there is an active police investigation into the hazing and harassment allegations made by former football player Aidan Howard in his recently filed federal civil rights lawsuit. The probe is in addition to an internal Title IX investigation at the school.The University of Virginia places a high priority on the safety and well-being of every member of its community. Specifically, as it relates to Mr. Howards legal filing, UVA is conducting a thorough investigation that involves several steps in the fact-finding process, university deputy spokesman Matt Charles wrote in an email.?The lawsuit states that, on Aug. 12, Howard was forced to fight another first-year football player after a team practice as part of an initiation into the football program. Howard suffered a broken eye socket as a result of the fight, which he claims he was made to participate in in order to prove his toughness and manliness. Howard did not want to fight but felt he had no choice, for fear of continued bullying and harassment, according to the lawsuit.Howard alleged that a general culture of bullying, abuse, harassment, and discrimination exists at UVa. The receiver claimed he witnessed other football players coerce first-year teammates into conduct which imitated and mimicked sexual acts, and that players were made to participate in fights and wrestling matches while naked or partially naked, an act referred to at UVA as ramming.Charles, the university spokesman, went on to say, upon receiving a report from the UVA Athletics Department on August 16 concerning the hazing allegations, the University reported the matter to the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County Commonwealths Attorneys in accordance with Virginia state law. The University Police Department, the Office of the Dean of Students and UVAs Title IX office began concurrent investigations consistent with university policies and procedures.Mr. Howard and his counsel participated in interviews with the University Police Department in August and also have been interviewed by members of the Universitys Dean of Students and Title IX offices, Charles wrote. Other staff and students have been interviewed in connection with this matter, as well. This investigative review is on-going.According to the schools policy on Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment and Other Forms of Interpersonal Violence (which was implemented in July 2015), the university urges anyone who becomes aware of an incident of Prohibited Conduct to report the incident immediately to either the Title IX Coordinator, or via a Just Reeport It hotline.dddddddddddd. Howard says he was treated by a team trainer -- and visited by a coach -- following the incident, but its not clear why four days passed before the athletic department reported it to school officials on Aug. 16.Howards attorney Jim Zeszutek, confirmed the police investigation and told Outside the Lines that UVa police came to Howards home state of Pennsylvania to interview him on Aug. 29. He also said that UVAPD asked Howard to submit a statement, and that was provided to police on Sept. 23.Its not clear if any specific person is the target of the UVAPD investigation or what charges are being considered.Charles also said, Alleged violations of University policy are investigated to determine appropriate disciplinary and remedial measures, including legal recourse. UVA takes prompt action to provide support services to affected students, review conduct and impose discipline for violations of UVA policy and athletic codes of conduct.The Universitys responses to this particular case are consistent with its approach to ensuring the well-being of our students that include a hazing hotline and its long-standing Just Report It online resource.UVa began its Title IX investigation on Aug. 16. The Department of Education recommends that internal Title IX investigations take no longer than 60 calendar days, but does not require it. When UVa provided this updated statement to Outside the Lines, the investigation had been ongoing for 66 days. When asked why the investigation was still ongoing, and when campus disciplinary hearings will be taking place, school officials had no further comment.The lawsuit names the university, as well as six defendants, including school president Teresa A. Sullivan, athletic director Craig Littlepage, wide receivers coach Marques Hagans, graduate assistant Famika Anae and wide receivers Doni Dowling and David Eldridge. Head coach Bronco Mendenhall is not named.Despite the ongoing Title IX and police investigations -- active since August -- Virginia offensive coordinator Robert Anae, Famikas father, said Saturday that the lawsuit came out of nowhere.It kind of blindsided all of us, Robert Anae, who is not named in the lawsuit, said after the Cavaliers loss to North Carolina. We did look at that as a distraction. We had to handle it as such and well continue to handle that as a distraction.Paula Lavigne can be reached at Paula.Lavigne@espn.com.
