Oakland Athletics pitcher Paul Blackburn has been scratched Saturday in the team's game against the Boston Red Sox.
Blackburn is dealing with a non-COVID illness. As a result, he will no longer start in Saturday's contest. Austin Pruitt instead will take on the lineup for the Red Sox.
In 30.2 innings pitched across 23 appearances, Pruitt has a 2.93 ERA with a 1.17 WHIP, 16 strikeouts and 6 walks.
