Phillies' Andrew Painter: Late scratch due to migraine

Painter was scratched from his scheduled start Sunday against the Diamondbacks due to a migraine, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

The Phillies will turn to Zach Pop to open the contest in what's likely to be a bullpen day. The migraine shouldn't be a long-term concern for Painter, and Todd Zolecki of MLB.com relays that the rookie right-hander was seen working out in the bullpen prior to the game, perhaps suggesting that he could be available to cover multiple innings in relief.
