*-The White Sox are moving LHP Clayton Richard ahead in their rotation to pitch on three days’ rest Thursday against the Indians. That would allow them to go with three more experienced pitchers, LHPs John Danks and Mark Buehrle and RHP Gavin Floyd, in a more important series against the Twins.
**-The Indians had hoped to bring LHP Aaron Laffey (oblique muscle injury) back from the disabled list to start Wednesday. However, he gave up seven runs in four innings in an injury-rehab start Friday for Triple-A Columbus. If Cleveland decides to give Laffey another rehab appearance, RHP Tomo Ohka could remain in the rotation for now.
3*-LHP Lucas French made his first major league start Friday, lasting into the fifth inning. That apparently was good enough to earn the 23-year-old control pitcher another start for the Tigers Wednesday.
4*-Detroit seems likely to move RHP Justin Verlander ahead of struggling RHP Armando Galarraga to start Sunday’s game. That would keep Verlander on his usual every-five-days schedule.
5*-Angels RHP Ervin Santana (strained elbow ligament) returned from the disabled list to give up six runs in five innings Friday. His next start is scheduled for Wednesday.
6*-Twins RHP Kevin Slowey (strained wrist) took his 10 wins to the disabled list. Starting in his place Wednesday would be RHP Anthony Swarzak, who pitched well for Minnesota in an earlier stint before being returned to Triple-A Rochester.
7*-Yankees RHP Chien-Ming Wang left Saturday’s start in the sixth inning, and is expected to return to the disabled list. A likely candidate to take Wang’s next scheduled start Thursday would be RHP Sergio Mitre, currently with Triple-A Scranton.
8*-LHP Erik Bedard (shoulder) threw 54 pitches in a simulated game Friday, and will come off the DL to start Tuesday’s game for the Mariners. He would replace LHP Garrett Olson in the rotation.
9*-With an off day Monday, the Rays put RHP Jeff Niemann into the bullpen for their weekend series at Texas. He’s expected to return to their rotation to start Saturday’s game.
10*-The Rangers pushed RHP Vicente Padilla (sore shoulder) back to Tuesday from this weekend’s scheduled start. If he couldn’t pitch Tuesday, a possibility would be to activate RHP Dustin Nippert, who has pitched well on his rehab assignment.
11*-The Blue Jays are recalling LHP Brad Mills from Triple-A Las Vegas to start Tuesday’s game. He’s just 2-8 with the 51s, but pitched eight shutout innings in his most recent game. Don’t be surprised if RHP Roy Halladay jumps ahead of Mills to get in another start Sunday before the All-Star game, even though that would be on three days’ rest.
12*-LHP Brett Cecil has replaced RHP Scott Richmond in Toronto’s rotation for starts today and Friday. Richmond (biceps tendinitis) is the ninth Jays pitcher to go on the disabled list this season.

*-Diamondbacks RHP Yusmeiro Petit returned from the disabled list to start Saturday, and would be on schedule to pitch again Thursday.
**-Thursday’s off day gives the Cubs a chance to keep their regular rotation despite Sunday’s doubleheader against the Cardinals. RHP Randy Wells would have an extra day of rest, and RHP Ryan Dempster would be on his usual every-fifth-day schedule.
3*-In Houston, the Astros and Nationals will begin Thursday what amounts to a five-game series by completing a game suspended by rain May 5 in Washington. The Nationals will remain the home team, batting in the bottom of the 11th inning with the score tied 10-10, one out and a runner on first base. Houston RHP LaTroy Hawkins was pitching when the game was stopped, so he’d be the likely candidate to begin Thursday on the mound. That’s unless he works for an extended period in Wednesday’s game. Another possibility would be RHP Felipe Paulino.
4*-Off days have allowed the Dodgers to skip LHP Eric Milton’s turn in their rotation, but a fifth starter would be needed again Saturday. Milton is the most likely starter for that game, but RHP Claudio Vargas, just off the disabled list, also could be a candidate.
5*-When the Brewers again need a fifth starter Saturday, RHP Seth McClung is most likely to receive the call and the ball.
6*-Nearing the point of desperation, the Mets will bring ineffective LHP Oliver Perez off the disabled list to start Tuesday. That would send ineffective RHP Tim Redding to their ineffective bullpen.
7*-The Phillies dusted off RHP Rodrigo Lopez Friday for his first major league appearance in two years. He started and won that game, earning another shot in Wednesday’s game.
8*-It seems likely that the Pirates would bring LHP Paul Maholm back on his usual four days’ rest to start Sunday’s game, moving him ahead of less experienced RHP Virgil Vasquez.
9*-The Cardinals are planning to have RHP Kyle Lohse, who’s scheduled for an injury-rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Memphis, come off the disabled list as their sixth starter for Sunday’s doubleheader.
10*-The Nationals have returned RHP Craig Stammen to their rotation.
11*-Washington wouldn’t even need a pitcher to complete the suspended game Thursday if it scores a run in the bottom of the 11th. If that happens, the winning pitcher would be RHP Joel Hanrahan, now with the Pirates. The Nationals also will need a pinch runner. OF Elijah Dukes, the runner on first base, is now with Triple-A Syracuse. If the game goes into the 12th inning, Washington could use RHP Mike MacDougal to try to hold down the Astros.
