St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jack Flaherty missed his start against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday due to a stiffness in his right shoulder.
Flaherty threw 49 pitches, allowing one hit, allowing two walks, and right-handed Nick Whitgren hit two before being released at the top of the third inning.
Flaherty, 26, was ruled out of the season until June 15 due to a right shoulder injury. He was given a platelet-containing-plasma injection into his shoulder in early March to treat burns on his shoulder.
This was his third debut after his return. He was 0-0 at the start of Sunday, entering the 7.50 ERA.
He was 9-2 with a 3.22 ERA in 17 last season when his pace slowed due to a sloping injury.
