This could be one of the least predictable lists we’ll have all season, with the possible exception of the first week in September when pitchers have been brought up from the minors. The trade deadline falls on Friday, so some pitchers could be making starts for teams other than the one they’re listed with here. Some others would be bumped from rotations and still others could miss a day or two while traveling to join their new team.

*-The Orioles seem willing to give ineffective LHP Rich Hill one more chance in their rotation. He’s still expected to start Tuesday or Wednesday, but he could be pitching for his job. If Hill isn’t effective then, expect Baltimore to recall RHP Chris Tillman from Triple-A Norfolk to join their rotation.
**-RHP Bartolo Colon pitched well enough in Friday’s doubleheader to regain a spot in the White Sox rotation. He’ll replace LHP Clayton Richard.
3*-Royals RHP Gil Meche doesn’t seem ready to return from the disabled list, so LHP Bruce Chen seems likely to start Monday. That could be his last start, because Meche could be able to start for Kansas City Saturday. Another possibility would be for Chen to stay in the rotation, replacing RHP Sir Sidney Ponson.
4*-Because of Thursday’s off day, the Angels could move LHP Joe Saunders and others ahead in the rotation ahead of tonight’s starter, RHP Matt Palmer.
5*-With LHP Garrett Olson likely to go to the bullpen, the Mariners still will need a fifth starter. They could be leaning toward moving RHP Chris Jakubauskas from the bullpen. Other possibilities would be LHP Jason Vargas or RHP Brandon Morrow from Triple-A Tacoma.
6*-The Rangers still are listing RHP Vicente Padilla as Tuesday’s starter even though he has been diagnosed as having the swine flu virus. If he couldn’t pitch then or Sunday, RHP Dustin Nippert again would take Padilla’s place.

*-RHP Ryan Dempster is expected off the disabled list to start Tuesday and to take the rotation spot of LHP Ted Lilly, who has gone on the DL and will have both shoulder and knee surgeries that are expected to keep him out a month or so.
**-The Marlins will need a fifth starter Saturday. They could recall LHP Andrew Miller from Triple-A New Orleans, move RHP Burke Badenhop back from his relief role or trade for a starter.
3*-The Brewers are expected to recall RHP Tim Dillard from Triple-A Nashville to start Tuesday.
4*-With RHP Fernando Nieve on the disabled list, the Mets recalled LHP Jonathan Niese from Triple-A Buffalo to start today’s game. That would put him in line to start again Thursday.
5*-When the Nationals put RHP Jordan Zimmermann on the disabled list, they promoted RHP Collin Balester to take that rotation spot.
6*-Washington brought up RHP J.D. Martin to start Monday’s game. He’s also scheduled to start today, which would put him on schedule for another start Thursday.
