*-It would be RHP Diasuke Matsuzaka’s turn to start Friday, but he has been struggling even since coming off the disabled list. RHP John Smoltz could return from his injury-rehab start to pitch for Boston, but it’s more likely he would pitch again for Triple-A Pawtucket. Other possibilities are for the Red Sox to trade RHP Brad Penny, who is in demand by the Phillies and other teams, or for them to go with a six-man rotation.

**-RHP Ervin Santana returned from the disabled list to make one start, but the Angels are sending him to the bullpen and reinstating undefeated RHP Matt Palmer to their rotation.

3*-Twins LHP Glen Perkins is returning from the DL to start Tuesday’s game, with RHP Anthony Swarzak returning to Triple-A Rochester despite pitching seven scoreless innings for Minnesota Saturday.

4*-RHP Chien-ming Wang could be pitching to keep his place in the rotation Wednesday. If he fails again, the Yankees could reinstate RHP Phil Hughes as a starter.

5*-The Mariners skipped LHP Eric Bedard’s start Saturday because of his sore shoulder. He’s expected back to start Friday. If he couldn’t, RHP Brandon Morrow, who’s moving back to being a starter, would pitch again in Bedard’s place.

6*-Rangers LHP Matt Harrison is coming off the disabled list after two injury-rehab starts. He’ll be replacing RHP Brandon McCarthy, who went on the DL because of a stress fracture in his shoulder blade.

7*-Wednesday’s rainout allowed the Blue Jays to skip RHP Scott Richmond in their rotation, but he’s expected to be back in to start this Wednesday.

8*-Toronto RHP Roy Halladay left Friday’s start because of a groin injury. He’ll be pushed back at least until Saturday. If he couldn’t pitch, the most likely replacement would be to bring LHP Brett Cecil back from Triple-A Las Vegas. For Halladay to pitch, “He’ll have to convince me he’s OK,” manager Cito Gaston said.

*-Cubs RHP Rich Harden returned from the disabled list to start Saturday. His next turn would come up Friday.

**-With RHP Felipe Paulino going on the disabled list, RHP Russ Ortiz has regained his place in the Astros’ rotation. He started Thursday’s game, and would be in line to pitch again Wednesday.

3*-The Dodgers will need a fifth starter Saturday. With LHPs Eric Stults and Eric Milton on the DL, the most likely candidate would be RHP Jeff Weaver.

4*-The Brewers are skipping LHP Manny Parra’s turn in their rotation, so RHP Braden Looper would move ahead to start Friday on his usual four days’ rest.

5*-RHP Fernando Nieve made his first start for the Mets Saturday and defeated the Yankees. His next start would come up Friday.

6*-RHP Charlie Morton, acquired from Atlanta in the Nate McLouth trade, pitched only one inning Wednesday in his debut with the Pirates. Pittsburgh feels the hamstring injury that sidelined him has healed sufficiently to allow him to start Monday.

7*-The Padres will have to find a starter to replace RHP Jake Peavy, who could miss up to two months because of an ankle injury. RHP Mat Latos, who is 6-0 between high Class A and Double-A San Antonio this season, would be on his regular rest if he pitched Saturday. Other possibilities are LHP Wade LeBlanc and RHP Walter Silva from Triple-A Portland.
