Did you know that the pitching matchup in Saturday's Dodgers-Angels game is Jeff Weaver vs. Jered Weaver? I know who I'm rooting for - Jered is carrying my AL keeper league staff on his back this year, while Jeff has singlehandedly ruined at least two of my seasons.

UPDATE, 11:03 a.m. ET: The Phillies have placed OF Raul Ibanez on the DL with the ever-popular groin strain. John Mayberry Jr. has been called up to replace Ibanez, and will play today.

Who's off: Indians, Angels, Brewers, Giants

First pitch: The Braves and Reds play the lone National League game at 12:35 p.m. ET, while there are two interleague contests at 1:05. Here's the full schedule.

Pitcher to start: Last night was another split decision, as Max Scherzer pitched pretty well, while Hiroki Kuroda didn't. The record is now 41-44.

Today, let's take our buddy Ubaldo Jimenez (34 percent owned) at home against the Rays. If I could get credit for picking against a pitcher, it would be Seattle's Brandon Morrow, even though he's throwing against the Padres. Someone get that guy a plane ticket to Triple-A Tacoma.

On to the news:

• The Blue Jays are having a bad week, with starters Roy Halladay and Casey Janssen, along with closer Scott Downs, all going on the disabled list. Halladay's groin injury doesn't sound too serious, and he's eligible to return on June 28. You should probably expect him to do just that if there are no setbacks.
• Downs' toe injury doesn't sound too bad, either, and the Jays' Web site reports that Jason Frasor will be the "primary closer" in Downs' absence. However, the Toronto Star story at the link above says that manager Cito Gaston "mentioned Frasor, Brandon League and Jesse Carlson as possible replacements." Watch for the last two if Frasor falters.
• Rookie Brad Mills will start in Frasor's place today, while the team site reports that fellow rookie Brett Cecil might be recalled to take Halladay's Saturday start.
• Mariners SP Erik Bedard is on the DL with shoulder discomfort. Bedard is eligible to return next Tuesday, and the team described his roster move as "precautionary," but we should know more after he visits the doctor today, according to the Tacoma News Tribune.
• Even with Bedard about to miss some time, Ryan Rowland-Smith is trying his hardest to never return to the Mariners' rotation. Every time this guy takes the mound for a minor-league rehab start, he gets hammered.
• Rays SP Scott Kazmir had a strong rehab start last night, and is expected to pitch again in a Triple-A game on Monday. After that, he might be ready to rejoin the big-league rotation, and hopefully he won't resume killing your fantasy team upon his return.
• Yankees SS Derek Jeter sat out last night's game with his injured ankle, but he expects to play today. UPDATE, 11:31 a.m. ET: Jeter isn't in the lineup.
• Brewers OF Ryan Braun left last night's game early with lower back tightness, but the team's Web site says that he should play Friday.
• Rangers closer Frank Francisco might be reactivated as soon as tomorrow, but manager Ron Washington might give him a few non-save situations before letting him pitch the ninth inning.
• More from Washington in a story on the Rangers' Web site: "I'm going to try and get (Taylor) Teagarden in a couple more games a week." If you own Jarrod Saltalamacchia, that quote could hurt you a little.
• Vlad Guerrero hopes to start playing the outfield again for the Angels in a couple of weeks.
• Reds 1B Joey Votto is about to start a minor-league rehab assignment, and should return before the end of the month.
• No! It can't be! Carl Pavano's next start has been pushed back due to shoulder soreness. He's expected to pitch again next Wednesday.
• White Sox SP John Danks had his second straight strong start last night. Your buy-low window is just about closed.
• Chien-Ming Wang didn't pitch badly last night, and probably saved his spot in the Yankee rotation, at least for now.
• The A's Web site reports that OF Ryan Sweeney might be back in the lineup today after a stint on the DL.
• The Giants might be shipping lefty Jonathan Sanchez to the bullpen soon. Glad I recommended him as a one-day starter earlier this week.
• The Cardinals will probably activate SS Khalil Greene today, but don't expect him to play every day. He's now a utilityman, just like every other Cardinal.

See you tomorrow.
