Update: Saunders was unable to get his shoulder loose in the bullpen prior to Friday's game, which ultimately forced him to miss his scheduled start, the Arizona Republic reports.
Recommendation: While Saunders is currently scheduled to take the ball Thursday against Atlanta, it's uncertain if he will be healthy enough to make that start at this time. Trevor Bauer is the most likely candidate to replace Saunders, who is likely to undergo further tests to determine the root cause of the issue.
