Michael Pineda Scratched From Sunday's Start
4 years agoMinnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda (forearm) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Sunday. Pineda was lifted from his previous start with forearm tightness, though manager Rocco Baldelli had believed that the veteran starter would be fine moving forward. Pineda is slated to throw a bullpen on Sunday instead, so the Twins will likely assess his status after that and provide a timeline for his return to the rotation. It sounds like he could be back after missing just two starts, though fantasy managers should stay tuned for updates on how his bullpen session goes. Minnesota has yet to announce a starter for Sunday's game. Griffin Jax, who was just called up, could be in line to start the game if he's not needed on Saturday.
