Wait a minute - the New York Times is reporting that Sammy Sosa tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug in 2003? I'm shocked at this turn of events! Honestly, did you have any idea that this might happen?

Who's off: Nobody

First pitch: The White Sox and Cubs get interleague play underway at Wrigley at 2:20 p.m. ET. Here's the full schedule.

Pitcher to start: Last night was a mixed bag, as Clayton Kershaw pitched pretty well, while Jonathan Sanchez definitely didn't. We're 40-43 on the season.

Tonight, we'll take Kershaw's teammate Hiroki Kuroda (24.6 percent owned) against the A's, along with the electric Max Scherzer (19.6 percent owned), even though he's matched against Zack Greinke on the road. If Scherzer is unowned in your league, you should be ashamed of yourself.

On to the news:

• Damn you, interleague play! Blue Jays closer Scott Downs injured his foot while running out a ground ball last night. X-rays were negative, but the team's Web site says there's a "realistic chance Downs will wind up on the disabled list." Manager Cito Gaston complained after the game about the NL rules being unfair to AL pitchers, but if he was that worried, why did he let his closer bat with a five-run lead?
• If Downs goes down for awhile, Jason Frasor (4-0, 1.90 ERA, 0.76 WHIP) would be the logical candidate to get Toronto's save opportunities. (UPDATE: 1:16 p.m.: Reader Silvio just reminded me that B.J. Ryan is still around in Toronto, and that Jeremy Accardo might come up from Triple A, where he's been closing.)
• Derek Jeter left last night's game after the seventh inning with a stiff ankle. He's listed as day-to-day, and if you own him in a daily transaction league, you might want to bench him today.
• Phillies closer Brad Lidge threw a pain-free bullpen session yesterday, and he'll try a repeat performance tomorrow. If all goes well, he could be activated within a week.
• Remember Brandon Webb? The D'backs co-ace finally has a bullpen session scheduled for Friday. He's still a long way off, though.
• Indians OF Grady Sizemore is scheduled to take BP and throw from the outfield this weekend, according to the team's Web site. If his elbow feels fine afterwards, he could be in the lineup next week. If not, surgery looms. As a Sizemore owner, my fingers are double-crossed.
• In other Indians news, manager Eric Wedge is fed up with slumping SS/3B Jhonny Peralta, who got benched last night. He might get benched tonight, too.
• The MRI on Ervin Santana's elbow was clean, but the DL is still a possibility. Stay tuned.
• The Blue Jays' Web site reports that Roy Halladay will test his injured groin today in a bullpen session. After that, the team will decide if their ace will make his tentatively scheduled Saturday start.
• Disabled Rays' lefty Scott Kazmir is scheduled to make a minor-league rehab start tonight. More news tomorrow.
• The Braves have reactivated 1B Casey Kotchman from the DL. Also, don't worry about Jair Jurrjens only pitching two innings last night. Rain delays were the culprit.
• Twins OF Denard Span's dizziness was caused by an inner ear infection, which is the same thing that happened to Joey Votto. Span is on the DL, and eligible to return on June 25. I had an ear infection last year, and when the doctor diagnosed me, she asked, "Are you five years old?"
• The Padres' Web site reports that SP Chris Young is probably DL-bound with a shoulder strain.
• John Smoltz's Red Sox debut is scheduled for Thursday, June 25. That gives the team six starters, with Clay Buchholz ready to kick the door down soon. If Daisuke Matsuzaka doesn't pitch well Friday, he could become the highest-paid Japanese middle reliever in history.
• Speaking of the Red Sox, it pains me to write this, but David Ortiz might not be ready for the old, fat designated hitter's home after all. He homered again last night, giving him four for the month.
• The Astros placed SP Mike Hampton on the DL with a groin injury. Brandon Backe takes Hampton's rotation slot. 3B Geoff Blum is also on the shelf with a strained hamstring.
• The Tigers are mercifully skipping Dontrelle Willis' Saturday start, but they won't say if it's a permanent demotion.
• So much for getting one-category lightning out of speedy Giants 2B Emmanuel Burriss - he's been sent to Triple A. He has 11 stolen bases, but you can only last so long with no power and a .292 OBP.
• Finally, Royals RP Kyle Farnsworth got some stitches on his left index finger after getting cut while breaking up a fight between his bulldogs, Strike and Rambo. According to the team's Web site, Farnsworth thinks Rambo was the one that bit him. Considering Farnsworth's pitching history, shouldn't the other dog be named "Home Run" instead of "Strike?"
