ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Roger Clemens was scratched from his start for the New York Yankees on Tuesday night at Tampa Bay because of a lingering left hamstring injury.
The announcement was made about four hours before game time. The team said Clemens will not pitch in the three-game series with the Devil Rays that runs through Thursday.
Kei Igawa was picked to replace Clemens for Tuesday night' start.
Clemens tweaked his hamstring while running Thursday. He has pitched just once since Sept. 3, sidelined at first by a tender right elbow that required two cortisone shots. The 45-year-old right-hander pitched six innings at Boston on Sept. 16, allowing an unearned run and two hits.
The seven-time Cy Young Award winner is 6-6 with a 4.18 ERA in 17 starts and one relief appearances this season.
