August 31, 2006

August 24, 2006
Orlando Hernandez will not make his scheduled start on Saturday, according to the AP.

The umpires met and decided Hernandez had to leave, which may not have been a bad thing for fantasy owners. He'd already allowed six runs on four hits and a walk in just 1 1/3 innings.
