(Central Islip, N.Y.) - The Long Island Ducks today announced 10-year Major League veteran Trevor Bauer is scheduled to be the starting pitcher on Sunday, June 21, for the team's series finale against the Lancaster Stormers at 1:35 p.m.
The right-hander is slated to take the mound for the first time since May 17 when he was placed on the injured list after leaving his start vs. Gastonia with back spasms. He has compiled a 4-1 record with a 2.43 ERA and 56 strikeouts to just seven walks in 37.0 innings pitched across six starts this season. The 35-year-old pitched a no-hitter in game one of a doubleheader at Lancaster on April 26 and struck out a franchise single game record 15 batters on May 12 vs. Gastonia.
