Neck bothering Archer

TAMPA, Fla. — Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Chris Archer was scratched from his scheduled Monday night against the New York Yankees and Gerrit Cole due to neck tightness.

Pittsburgh said the move was precautionary and that Archer is day to day.

Archer went 3-9 with a 5.19 ERA in 23 starts last season.

Cole made his first start with the Yankees Monday night.
