| Player Notes |
| August 17, 2004 The White Sox may yet go to a four-man rotation - beginning next week - but they are concerned about whether Jose Contreras can handle pitching on short rest, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. |
| August 1, 2004 Jose Contreras will make his debut with the White Sox on Tuesday, according to the Daily Southtown. |
| July 31, 2004 ESPN reports that Jose Contreras has been traded to the White Sox in exchange for Esteban Loaiza. |
| July 26, 2004 The AP reports that Jose Contreras will be moved up to start on three days' rest on Thursday. |
| July 25, 2004 Jose Contreras was roughed up by the Red Sox Sunday night. They took him for eight runs on nine hits and two walks over 5 1/3 innings. He also hit two batters and allowed three home runs. |
| July 21, 2004 The Yankees are obviously very interested in acquiring Randy Johnson, but they probably don't have the minor league prospects to get the deal done. However, it's possible that the Yankees will trade Jose Contreras to a third team, and send the prospects they receive in return to the D'Backs in order to acquire Johnson, according to the Arizona Republic. |
| July 3, 2004 The second outing since his family arrived in the U.S. didn't go well for Jose Contreras on Saturday. He was knocked around by the Mets for seven runs on eight hits in five innings. |
| June 27, 2004 In his first game since being re-united with his family, Jose Contreras struck out 10 in six scoreless innings while pitching in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader. Contreras allowed just two hits and walked four. |
| June 25, 2004 Jose Contreras will pitch Sunday instead of Saturday after Friday's game was rained out. It will be his first start since reuniting with his family after their escape from Cuba. |
| June 22, 2004 Jose Contreras has left the Yankees for a short time to be with his family after they defected from Cuba this week, according to the AP. Contreras will still make his next scheduled start on Saturday. |
| June 13, 2004 Jose Contreras will start on Tuesday instead of Wednesday to replace the injured Kevin Brown, according to the AP. Contreras will still be pitching on his normal rest. |
| June 4, 2004 Jose Contreras will be skipped over in the Yankees' rotation so that he can work on his mechanics. He is scheduled to pitch again on June 12. |
| May 26, 2004 The AP reports that Jose Contreras has been pushed up a day in Yankees rotation and will now start on Thursday instead of Friday because Kevin Brown received an excused leave of absence to tend to some personal business. |
| May 22, 2004 In his first start since being recalled from the minors, Jose Contreras allowed just one run in six innings of work on Saturday. He struck out seven and walked only two, though he didn't pick up a decision. |

| May 18, 2004 A Yankees team official indicated that Jose Contreras is not yet scheduled to make another minor league appearance, according to Newsday. In fact, Contreras could be recalled in time to start Saturday's game. This is a bit of surprise as the team originally indicated that Contreras would start a few more games with Triple-A Columbus. |
| May 14, 2004 Jose Contreras will make his second start for Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, according to the New York Daily News. "There's no time frame," Yankees GM Brian Cashman said. "Is it possible he's up after his next start? That's possible. Is it possible that he's down there for five more starts or more? That's possible, too." |
| May 11, 2004 Jose Contreras allowed three runs on seven hits, one walk, and two homers and struck out seven in 6 2/3 innings for Triple-A Columbus Tuesday. While the Yankees have not decided who will start on Saturday against Seattle, leaving open the possibility that Contreras could get the start, they would prefer to see him put together a string of good starts in the minors before returning to the rotation. |
| May 10, 2004 The Yankees have scheduled Jose Contreras to start at Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, according to the AP. This will be his first start since he was sent to the minors last week to work on his mechanaics. |
| May 8, 2004 Jose Contreras worked on mechanics for the second straight day with team vice president and pitching guru Billy Connors at the Yankees' spring training complex, according to the AP. He might pitch for Triple-A Columbus in the next few days. |
| May 5, 2004 After giving up six runs in just two-plus innings on Tuesday, Jose Contreras was optioned to Single-A Tampa on Wednesday, according to the AP. The Yankees want him to work on his mechanics with pitching guru Billy Connors, who is also the club's vice president of player personnel. Joe Torre indicated that he expects Contreras to return to the majors in about a week. |
| May 4, 2004 The Yankees have no plans on skipping over Jose Contreras in the rotation even when off-days will allow them to do so and keep everyone else on normal rest, according to the New York Daily News. Joe Torre is committed to helping Contreras pitch his way back into form, which is probably a good idea considering Contreras is coming off his best start of the season. |
