As you may have noticed, the community updates have kicked in around here. I don't know where yesterday's blog post went, and I'm not quite sure how to link to stories on other sites. I can upload photos and video, though. Bear with my for a few days while I figure out how this gizmo works. Who's off: Red Sox, Blue Jays, Rays, Indians, Twins, Tigers, A's, Rangers, Marlins, Nationals, Dodgers, Rockies First pitch: There are a pair of National League games at 12:35 p.m. ET, while the mariners and Yankees get AL action underway at 7:05. Here's the full schedule. Pitcher to start: Jordan Zimmermann was pretty good again yesterday, while Clayton Kershaw got it done in an untraditional manner - five innings, one hit, no runs, five walks, five Ks. I'll take it, and we're up to 45-47 for the season. Since the Mets have approximately one major-league hitter in their lineup these days, today's choice is Pittsburgh's Paul Maholm (22.1 percent owned). On to the news:

Phillies OF Raul Ibanez was expected to make a rehab appearance last night in Double A, and even though he didn't, it's apparently not a cause for worry. Ibanez says they decided to play it safe, and hopes to be activated early next week.

The Cardinals will not place new acquisition Mark DeRosa on the DL - yet. DeRosa's wrist has no structural damage, and he'll miss at least three days. We need to keep an eye on this one, since the St. Louis Post-Dispatch story isn't as optimistic about DeRosa's return date as the team's official site.

The same Post-Dispatch story notes that disabled P Kyle Lohse is expected to make his first rehab start tonight, while 3B Troy Glaus' rehab might begin next weekend.

So much for Adrian Gonzalez's strained knee injury - he played last night.

D'backs co-ace Brandon Webb won't have shoulder surgery, but he isn't expected to throw "for several weeks." If you still own Webb, give him a nice sendoff when you waive him today. Send him a get-well card or something.

White Sox SS Alexei Ramirez re-injured his middle finger last night, and isn't expected to start today.

In other White Sox news, manager Ozzie Guillen thinks OF Scott Podesdnik deserves All-Star consideration. Podsednik has a .770 OPS, and is tied for 170th in the majors in runs scored - the same number as Adam Everett, Brendan Harris and Gerald Laird. Do I even need to make a comment here?

The Cubs' Web site reports that 3B Aramis Ramirez will begin a minor-league rehab assignment on Friday, and could be reactivated Monday.

Barring any setbacks, Erik Bedard will come off the DL to start Tuesday for the Mariners. The initial plan was to have him start tomorrow with a pitch limit of 60, which sounded kind of silly.

Red Sox SS Jed Lowrie will have his swollen knee examined Frank Francisco was reinstated as the Rangers' closer yesterdayblew a save.

Remember when I was touting Nats OF Elijah Dukes to have a big year? He's been sent to Triple-A Syracuse. Dukes will be prominently featured on my postseason fantasy expert blooper reel.

The Yankees announced that OF Xavier Nady will have Tommy John surgery, which should keep him out until sometime next season. I hope his fastball command doesn't take long to return. See you tomorrow, a.k.a., Manny Day.
