MILWAUKEE -- Right-hander A.J. Schugel has been pulled off his rehab assignment after a recurrence of the right shoulder discomfort that landed him on the disabled list to start the season.
"He has to see the doctor and we'll map out the best step," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said before Friday's game at Miller Park against the Brewers. "I'm sure there is a level of frustration that's real."
Schugel made his eighth rehab appearance on Thursday, allowing two runs on two hits in one inning at Triple-A Indianapolis.
