*-RHP Koji Uehara (hamstring injury) is expected to come off the disabled list to start Thursday.

**-The White Sox are recalling RHP Jose Contreras from Triple-A Charlotte to start one game of Monday’s doubleheader. If he pitches well, he could remain in Chicago’s rotation, to the detriment of LHP Clayton Richard or RHP Bartolo Colon.

3*-The Indians sent RHP Fausto Carmona to the Rookie Class Arizona League to reconstruct his delivery, and at least for now have moved RHP Tomo Ohka from their bullpen to take Carmona’s place in the rotation.

4*-Tigers RHP Jeremy Bonderman will make his first major league start since last season in the second game of Monday’s doubleheader. He recovered from surgery to relieve a circulatory problem to pitch eight shutout innings in his most recent injury-rehab start May 31 for Triple-A Toledo.

5*-The Royals brought RHP Luke Hochevar back from Triple-A Omaha to start Saturday. He pitched well enough to earn a victory, and would be scheduled to pitch next on Friday.

6*-RHP Kelvim Escobar, who hadn’t pitched in the majors since the 2007 playoffs, returned Saturday and pitched well for five innings. He’s back in the Angels’ rotation, and is scheduled to start again Friday.

7*-The Rangers put RHP Vicente Padilla on waivers to see whether another team might be willing to trade for a pitcher owed $8 million for the remainder of this season despite a reputation for not getting along with his teammates. Someone? Anyone? Texas’ hope most likely is that a marginal contender might be willing to gamble near the trade deadline.

*-The Braves called up their best prospect, RHP Tommy Hanson, to start today. At Triple-A Gwinnett, he was 3-3 with a 1.49 ERA and 90 strikeouts in 66 1/3 innings. His next start would be Friday.

**-LHP Matt Maloney gave up two runs in six innings Friday in his major league debut, and is scheduled to pitch next Friday.

3*-The Marlins have recalled their Opening Day starter, RHP Ricky Nolasco, from the minors to start Friday.

4*-A line drive hit Brewers RHP David Bush on his right forearm during his most recent start. He has thrown on the side since then, and expects to be able to make his next scheduled start Thursday. Monday’s off day makes it so he could be moved back a day or two without causing any other Milwaukee pitchers to start with less than four days’ rest.

5*-Monday’s game will be RHP Brad Thompson’s second as a fill-in starter. Thompson could stay in the rotation – or the Cardinals could turn to newly recalled rookie RHP Blake Hawksworth, currently slated to pitch in relief. I couldn’t recommend Hawksworth if he did join St. Louis’ rotation.

6*-The Padres could move RHP Jake Peavy ahead of RHP Josh Geer in their rotation. That wouldn’t make a difference for fantasy owners this week, because Peavy would start either Saturday or Sunday, giving him two starts in either case.

7*-The Giants have indicated they would keep struggling LHP Jonathan Sanchez in their rotation.
