Matt Garza to miss Wednesday start with shoulder tightness

Matt Garza won't make his scheduled start Wednesday against the San Francisco Giants, Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell confirmed after his team's 12-3 opening loss Monday to the San Francisco Giants.

Garza left his last start on Friday — an exhibition game in Houston — with tightness in his right shoulder in the fourth inning. Counsell said after that game Garza wasn't expected to miss a start, but a Monday examination of Garza's shoulder by team physician William Raasch convinced the Brewers to change course.

With Garza out at least temporarily, Taylor Jungmann moves up a day and takes his place against the Giants.
