Summary

Sugano Out

Tomoyuki Sugano will miss Saturday's start versus the San Francisco Giants because back spasms forced his removal after he was cleared to pitch.
He injured his finger on June 26 against the Twins, giving up seven runs, two homers and one walk in five innings.
The spasms also keep Sugano out of his next rotation spot before the All-Star break, and manager Warren Schaeffer has not said when Sugano will return.
