BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) - Cincinnati right-hander Aaron Harang was scratched before a 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday because of inflammation in his right shoulder, the third Reds starting pitcher to miss time this spring.
Harang, who was a favorite to be the team's opening day starter, blamed the injury on some recent changes in his delivery.
"I did something exactly like this in Double-A a couple years ago, where I tinkered with my mechanics and my body told me, 'Don't do that again,'" said Harang, who is day to day. "I thought this was just normal stiffness or soreness, but the pain lingered."
