On Thursday, the Pittsburgh Pirates added right-handed pitcher Alex McRae to their active roster as part of their September call ups. Now, due to injury, McRae will make his second MLB start of the season and of his career on Friday night.
Originally, Joe Msugrove was scheduled to start on Friday night. However, this is no longer the case. Due to foot discomfort Musgrove has been scratched for McRae.
Alex McRae, not Joe Musgrove, will start for the Pirates tonight. Musgrove was scratched due to right foot discomfort. He’s day to day, according to the team.
