Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Cole has been scratched from his scheduled rehab start for Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, but GM Neal Huntington said it was so he could throw another bullpen session "to refine some things," Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Analysis:

Huntington's words imply that Cole has not suffered any sort of setback, but scratch will further delay the right-hander's return to the major league rotation. Cole tossed five scoreless innings in his first rehab start for Indy on Monday, but evidently he still has some mechanical kinks to work out.
