San Francisco Giants ace Madison Bumgarner missed his scheduled spring training start Sunday because of two minor injuries.

The left-hander was scratched from the Cactus League start against the San Diego Padres with a nerve issue in his left foot and rib-cage pain on his right side.

Bumgarner said he could have pitched if it were a regular-season game and he will be ready for his Opening Day start against the Brewers at Milwaukee on April 4.

Bumgarner, who has made two starts and raised his pitch count to about 50 this spring, said he could miss another start.

"It's not anything too serious," Bumgarner said in Scottsdale, Ariz. "We just don't want it to turn into something serious."
