*-The Orioles are recalling RHP David Hernandez from his minor league assignment to start Monday’s game.

**-RHP Bartolo Colon (inflamed left knee) is coming off the disabled list to start one game of Thursday’s doubleheader. If he pitches well, he could replace LHP Clayton Richard in the White Sox rotation.

3*-Rookie LHP Lucas French has moved into the Tigers’ rotation and had pitched well.

4*-Detroit will need a sixth starter this week because of Thursday’s doubleheader. The most likely candidate is RHP Zach Miner from the bullpen. None of the pitchers who are in line to pitch at Triple-A Toledo (Ruddy Lugo, 29, or Scott Drucker, 27) or Double-A Erie (Thad Weber, 24) appears to be a viable option.

5*-RHP Anthony Swarzak is back in the Twins’ rotation with RHP Kevin Slowey on the disabled list. Swarzak is kind of like Slowey lite.

6*-The Yankees are recalling RHP Sergio Mitre from Triple-A Scranton. He served a 50-day suspension this season for using andro, which is banned now but wasn’t when Mark McGwire used to have it in his locker.

7*-The Mariners will need a fifth starter Saturday. That pitcher is likely to be recalled from Triple-A Tacoma. In addition to LHP Jason Vargas, options are RHP Brandon Morrow and lefty Ryan Rowland-Smith.

8*-Rookie LHP Marc Rzepczynski solidified his spot in the Blue Jays' rotation by beating the Red Sox Saturday.

9*-When Toronto needs a fifth starter Saturday, they’d be likely to recall LHP David Purcey, who would be on schedule to move up from the Triple-A Las Vegas rotation.

*-The Braves will recall RHP Tommy Hanson from the high Class A Myrtle Beach roster to start Monday.

**-LHP Ted Lilly had his start pushed back because of a sore left knee, but he’s expected to be ready Monday. If he couldn’t pitch, LHP Sean Marshall could move from the bullpen to the Cubs’ rotation. He also could replace RHP Kevin Hart, today’s starter.

3*-RHP Rick VandenHurk is expected to return from the minors to start Monday for the Marlins. It’s likely that Florida would move RHP Ricky Nolasco ahead of VandenHurk to start Sunday on the usual four days’ rest. Even though RHP Josh Johnson pitched just two innings before Saturday’s game was rained out, he’s not expected to start again until Friday. He’d be trying to extend his streak of starts allowing three or fewer earned runs to 17.

4*-The Dodgers are bringing RHP Jason Schmidt off the disabled list to start Monday. He hasn’t pitched in the majors for more than two years, and has been recovering from shoulder surgery. It’s likely that LA would move LHP Randy Wolf ahead of Schmidt to start Sunday so the righty could get additional rest before breaking into an every-five-days schedule.

5*-RHP Mike Burns is the Brewers’ fifth starter while RHP David Bush is on the disabled list. Burns might start Saturday, or Milwaukee could use LHP Manny Parra, who started Saturday’s game.

6*-The Phillies will bring back RHP Joe Blanton Tuesday. He pitched just 1 1/3 innings before Saturday’s game was rained out.

7*-The Padres have brought a former first-round draft pick, RHP Tim Stauffer, back from the minors to pitch in their rotation.

8*-There’s more excitement in San Diego about RHP Mat Latos, who’s scheduled to start in his major league debut today. That would put the pitcher who dominated the Double-A Texas League on schedule to start again Friday.

9*-Giants RHP Ryan Sadowski is another pitcher who was reassigned to the minor leagues before the All-Star break because his team didn’t need a fifth starter. He has been a pleasant surprise so far.

10*-The Nationals brought RHP Garrett Mock back from the minors to start today. He would be on schedule to start again Friday.
