*-The Orioles have added RHP Chris Tillman, their best pitching prospect to their rotation.
**-Baltimore’s next best pitching prospect could be LHP Brian Matusz, who has been pitching at Double-A Bowie. The BaySox removed him from today’s start after one inning, fueling speculation that he could start Tuesday’s game with RHP Brad Bergesen on the disabled list. Orioles president Andy MacPhail said that was a “strong possibility.”
3*-RHP Clay Buchholz is in the Red Sox rotation with RHP Tim Wakefield on the DL.
4*-The White Sox can move their fifth starter back a few days because Monday’s off day will enable other pitchers to move ahead and stay on four days’ rest. RHP D.J. Carrasco moved from the bullpen to start Friday and could start again Saturday. Other options could be RHPs Carlos Torres (from Triple-A Charlotte) or Bartolo Colon (from the disabled list).
5*-RHP Fausto Carmona came back from the minors to start Friday’s game, and is expected to stay in the Indians’ rotation at least until they can give RHP Justin Masterson, acquired from the Red Sox, enough innings to grow from his relief role to a starting job.
6*-Newly acquired LHP Jarrod Washburn has moved from the Mariners’ rotation to Detroit’s since the teams’ trade-deadline deal.
7*-The Angels are expected to recall RHP Sean O’Sullivan from his minor league assignment to start Saturday’s game when they next need a fifth starter.
8*-RHP Sergio Mitre is the Yankees’ current fifth starter. Even though they have Monday off, they’re moving Mitre ahead in the rotation so he can pitch against the Blue Jays instead of in their key weekend series vs. the Red Sox.
9*-Rookie LHP Lucas French, acquired from Detroit in the Washburn trade, has moved into the Mariners’ rotation.
10*-RHP Ian Snell, another acquisition near the trade deadline, is taking Washburn’s place in the rotation Sunday. That would put him in line for his next start Saturday.
11*-Rangers RHP has a strained gluteus maximus, aka pain in the ass, which limited his last start to two innings and delayed his next one from Sunday until Monday. It’s possible he still might not be able to pitch then. Texas had RHP Doug Mathis scratched from tonight’s start with Triple-A Oklahoma City in case he’s needed to take Millwood’s place Monday.

*-The Diamondbacks are keeping ineffective RHP Yusmeiro Petit in their rotation for now. That’s mostly because the minor league pitchers who might step in are either hurting or struggling.
**-LHP Tom Gorzelanny, who was part of the trade that sent RHP Kevin Hart to the Pirates, is taking Hart’s place in the Cubs’ rotation. Starting pitching is clearly the strength of shell-of-a-major league-team Pittsburgh, which has provided other teams with two starters who weren’t even in the Bucs’ rotation: Gorzelanny and Snell.
3*-The Reds promoted journeyman RHP Justin Lehr, who was pitching pretty well as a starter at Triple-A Louisville, to their rotation. He made his first start for Cincinnati Monday. That’s not the best news, but it’s far better than knowing that RHP Edinson Volquez will undergo elbow surgery Monday.
4*-The Astros are hoping RHP Roy Oswalt (lower back injury) will be able to make his next start Tuesday. If he couldn’t pitch then, a possibility could be RHP Samuel Gervacio, just up from Triple-A Round Rock, or RHP Yorman Bazardo or another pitcher elevated from the Express.
5*-Houston already has recalled RHP Bud Norris from Round Rock to take the rotation vacancy created when the Astros released RHP Russ Ortiz.
6*-RHP Mike Burns returned to the Brewers’ rotation tonight, which would put him in line for his next start Friday.
7*-The off day Monday could make it possible for Milwaukee to bypass its fifth starter for a while. LHP Manny Parra could start on his usual four days’ rest Saturday. Another option would be to use RHP Carlos Villanueva, scheduled to pitch Sunday as the Brewers’ fifth starter. Villanueva is a better pitcher than he has shown while pitching badly in relief this season.
8*-RHP Tim Redding, who has used up six or seven lives in the Mets’ rotation this season, seems likely to gain another reprieve by replacing scuffling RHP Livan Hernandez for at least Monday’s start.
9*-LHP Cliff Lee, the biggest name changing teams during last week’s trades, won his first start for the Phillies Friday. His next scheduled start would be Wednesday.
10*-It’s likely that RHP Virgil Vasquez made his final start in the Pirates’ rotation tonight, and that RHP Kevin Hart would replace Vasquez to start Thursday.
11*-Just a note to remind you that I was bullish on RHP Mat Latos even when he was pitching for Double-A San Antonio this season. He has done well in his first few starts since jumping to the Padres’ rotation.
12*-LHP Clayton Richard, acquired from the White Sox in the deadline deal for RHP Jake Peavy, made his first start for the Padres tonight and is scheduled to pitch again Thursday. Richard and Latos provide significant upgrades in San Diego’s rotation.
