Pirates' Mike Burrows: Starting Sunday after relief outing

Burrows is scheduled to start Sunday against the Mets after he pitched 2.1 scoreless innings out of the bullpen in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Brewers, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Burrows came on to make his first relief appearance for the Pirates this season after starter Paul Skenes lasted a career-low four innings Wednesday. As a result, the rookie right-hander's turn in the rotation will be pushed back a couple days, and he will take the ball Sunday on three days rest.
