*-RHP John Smoltz is scheduled to return from his injury-rehab assignment to make his first start for the Red Sox Thursday. For now, he’ll replace RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka, who is undergoing tests to try to determine why he has pitched so poorly.

**-Tigers RHP Alfredo Figaro won his first major league start Saturday. His next turn in their rotation, with LHP Dontrelle Willis on the disabled list, would be Friday.

3*-The Royals have indicated that they would move RHP Gil Meche ahead of RHP Kyle Davies in their rotation to keep Meche on an every-five-days schedule.

4*-Lookee here! Twins RHP Kevin Slowey, our Jarrod Washburn Award winner, is tied for the major league lead with 10 wins.

5*-RHP Chien-ming Wang pitched well enough last week to hang on to his starting job. With RHP Phil Hughes available from the bullpen, expect the Yankees to keep Wang on a short leash.

6*-Athletics LHP Josh Outman left his most recent start in the second inning because of a flexor-extensor strain in his inner elbow. If he’s not physically able to make Wednesday’s start, LHP Gio Gonzalez would be recalled from Triple-A Sacramento, where he has a 2.51 ERA.

7*-RHP Brandon Morrow once again will be a starter for the Mariners. Expect him to remain in that role even after LHP Erik Bedard comes off the disabled list.

8*-As we predicted last week, LHP Brett Cecil has returned from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill one hole in the Blue Jays’ rotation with RHPs Roy Halladay and Casey Janssen joining the remainder of this year’s projected rotation on the disabled list.

9*-Toronto will have to add another minor league starter to its rotation Saturday, and LHP David Purcey is the best bet.

*-The Reds have indicated that RHP Aaron Harang would stay on an every-five-days schedule by moving ahead of RHP Johnny Cueto in their rotation.

**-RHP Brandon Backe is backe from an injury-rehab assignment and backe in the Astros’ rotation.

3*-LHP Wandy Rodriguez is another pitcher likely to move up in his team’s rotation (ahead of RHP Brian Moehler) to remain on the usual four days’ rest.

4*-The Dodgers expect LHP Eric Milton to come off the disabled list to start Friday.

5*-The Brewers optioned LHP Manny Parra to Triple-A Nashville to work on his problems, and hope those are straightened out by Saturday, when they again would need a fifth starter.

6*-RHP Brad Thompson is in the Cardinals’ rotation while RHP Kyle Lohse is on the disabled list.

7*-The Padres opted for LHP Wade LeBlanc rather than fast-tracking RHP Mat Latos to come up from the minors and pitch in their rotation while RHPs Jake Peavy and Chris R. Young are out.

8*-RHP Walter Silva also has returned from Triple-A Portland to San Diego’s rotation.
