Cingrani (illness) was scratched from Tuesday's exhibition game against the Royals, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

A case of the flu kept Cingrani off the mound for Tuesday's matchup with Royals and prevented him from making his fifth appearance of the spring. The former starter-turned-reliever has been relatively sharp thus far in camp, throwing five scoreless innings with seven strikeouts against just two walks. Given that he has the flu, he could be shut down for a few days to rest, but he figures to be back on the mound later in the week.
