The Arizona Diamondbacks say Corbin Burnes' shoulder issue isn't serious, but that isn't going to stop some from worrying about the nine-figure starting pitcher.

D-Backs manager Torey Lovullo said Saturday that the team is scratching Burnes from his next start due to shoulder inflammation, per the Arizona Republic. He reportedly added the club is hopeful the 30-year-old Burnes can make his next scheduled start and will not require a trip to the 15-day IL.

From the Republic:

“I think it had probably been a start or two that he had been expressing that and feeling (fatigue in his shoulder),” Lovullo said before the second game of a three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies here May 3.
