Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Joe Musgrove has been scratched from his Friday start against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Musgrove is dealing with right foot discomfort, and that will cost him a start against the division-leading Cardinals. Now, 26-year-old Alex McRae will take the bump - he was recalled from Triple-A on Thursday afternoon.
In 154.3 innings pitched across 26 games, Musgrove has a 9-12 record with a 4.67 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 136 strikeouts and 35 walks.
