Yovani Gallardo - S - Milwaukee Brewers
March 2, 2013 - 5:20 PM ET

Yovani Gallardo has been scratched from his next scheduled spring start due to groin tightness.

The injury occurred during Tuesday's loss to the Mariners. While this isn't believed to be a major setback, Gallardo's status for the World Baseball Classic could be in jeopardy. According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Gallardo will throw a bullpen session Sunday to test his groin and the Brewers are hoping that he'll be ready to return by early next week.
