LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) -Shawn Hill has been scratched from his scheduled start against the Detroit Tigers because of right forearm tightness.
The right-hander was to be examined Friday by Dr. James Andrews, National manager Manny Acta said.
Hill made two trips to the disabled list last year before season-ending elbow surgery Sept. 5.
In his first spring training start, on Feb. 27 against Houston, Hill pitched one scoreless inning. He had pointed to his second start as a key benchmark in his recovery.
Hill was 1-5 with a 5.83 ERA in 12 starts last year. Left-hander Gustavo Chacin replaced Hill against the Tigers.
