*-The Orioles recalled RHP David Hernandez from Triple-A Norfolk to start today’s game in place of RHP Koji Uehara, who has gone on the disabled list because of elbow tendinitis. Hernandez’s next scheduled start would be Friday.

**-RHP John Smoltz remains in Boston’s rotation after a shaky start in his 2009 debut this week. He would start again Tuesday.

3*-Tigers RHP Alfredo Figaro remains in their injury-affected rotation after an OK start and one that wasn’t as good.

4*-The Royals purchased Quadruple-A LHP Bruce Chen’s contract from Triple-A Omaha to start Saturday’s game. He wasn’t awful, and would start again Thursday.

5*-For now, rookie RHP Sean O’Sullivan is in the Angels’ rotation. RHP Ervin Santana could be back from the disabled list before long. He’s scheduled to throw 45 pitches in the Rookie Class Arizona League today.

6*-LHP Scott Kazmir returned from the disabled list to start Saturday, and continued to have difficulty with a high pitch count (92 in five innings). His next start would be Friday. He’s taking the rotation spot of RHP Andy Sonnanstine, who was optioned to Triple-A Durham.

7*-Rangers LHP Matt Harrison (shoulder injury) went back on the disabled list. King-sized RHP Tommy Hunter came up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start tonight, and would be on schedule to start again Saturday.

8*-Blue Jays RHP Roy Halladay will return from the disabled list to start Monday.

9*-Halladay’s return will push LHP Brett Cecil’s next start back to Friday. LHP Brad Mills has been returned to Triple-A Las Vegas.

*-The Diamondbacks optioned RHP Billy Buckner to Triple-A Reno, leaving a hole in their rotation that would need to be filled Saturday. They could bring up RHPs Bryan Augenstein or Seth Etherton from Reno, or RHP Jarrod Parker from Double-A Mobile.

**-The Reds sent LHP Matt Maloney back to Triple-A Louisville, and recalled RHP Homer Bailey. He pitched well enough to beat the Indians Saturday, and would be scheduled for his next start Friday.

3*-Astros LHP Mike Hampton is expected to return from the disabled list to start Tuesday. He most likely would replace RHP Russ Ortiz in the rotation, because RHP Felipe Paulino pitched well in his return from the DL Saturday.

4*-RHP Mike Burns has moved up from Triple-A Nashville to the Brewers’ rotation. He’s replacing RHP David Bush, who went on the disabled list for the first time in his major league career.

5*-Milwaukee had another opening in its rotation because the Brewers optioned LHP Manny Parra to Nashville. RHP Seth McClung moved from the bullpen to a starting role Saturday, and would be scheduled to pitch next on Thursday.

6*-The Mets expected to have RHP John Maine back off the disabled list, but his time there will be extended because he suffered a setback while rehabbing. RHP Tim Redding will stay in the rotation until Maine returns.

7*-Phillies LHP Antonio Bastardo will miss his next start because of a strained shoulder. Philadelphia most likely will promote RHP Carlos Carrasco from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start in Bastardo’s place, sometime between Thursday and Saturday. Carrasco has been considered the Phillies’ best pitching prospect, but he is 4-7 with a 4.92 ERA in the International League.

8*-When the Pirates optioned RHP Ian Snell to Triple-A Indianapolis, they replaced him with RHP Virgil Vasquez. He won his first start for Pittsburgh Friday, and would be on schedule to start again Wednesday.

9*-RHPs Jake Peavy and Chris R. Young are on the disabled list, so the Padres’ new fifth starter is RHP Josh Banks. He’s a good control pitcher who hasn’t had much success against major league batters.

10*-The Giants sent ineffective LHP Jonathan Sanchez to their bullpen and replaced him with 26-year-old RHP Ryan Sadowski. He is scheduled to start in his major league debut today and make his second start Friday. Sadowski was 5-2 with a 4.11 ERA at Triple-A Fresno.

11*-The Nationals expect LHP Scott Olsen to come off the disabled list Monday. He would take the rotation spot of RHP Craig Stammen, who is moving to a relief role.
