|
| Melvin Mora, 3B, Baltimore Orioles | Sunday 6/15, 2:22 PM CT |

|
|
|
| Oscar Salazar is penciled in as the starting first baseman for the Orioles today and is hitting seventh in the batting order. |
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
| Bartolo Colon has pitched well since being called up from Pawtucket, but he's also and injury risk for those who are counting on him for the long haul this summer. His 6.8 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9 are over-the-top good, and his velocity is where it was during a stellar stretch early last year with the Angels. |
|
| Jeremy Reed, CF, Seattle Mariners | Sunday 6/15, 10:09 AM CT |

|
|
|
| The Rangers recalled Kason Gabbard from Triple-A Oklahoma on Saturday night.
|
|
|
|
| Shaun Marcum deserves better than his 5-3 record. He's pitched better than the mark too. His 2.43 ERA, 7.8 K/9, 2.5 BB/9 tell fantasy managers everything they need to know about the Jays right-hander. He's an ace in waiting. |
|
|
|
| Mariano Rivera is 38-years old but rarely is he thought of as old, or past his prime. In fact the right-hander is showing no indication he is regressing as a pitcher. The Yanks closer is 18 for 18 in saves; and his 0.87 ERA, 9.3 K/9 and 0.9 BB/9 can't be ignored. |
|
|
|
| Javier Vazquez's record stands at just 6-5 but the right-hander has been solid this year. His 3.90 ERA, 9.0 K/9 and a 2.2 BB/9 is tops on the White Sox staff - and his numbers after 14 starts this season is among the best in baseball. |
|
| Erik Bedard, P, Seattle Mariners | Sunday 6/15, 12:03 AM CT |
|
| Seattle LHP Erik Bedard wasn't dominating, but he pitched well enough for the win. The relief pitching failed to secure such reward as Seattle fell 5-2 to Washington. Bedard pitched six innings to allow two runs (both earned) on nine hits with two walks and eight strikeouts. |
|
|
|
| The Mariners suffered the 5-2 loss versus Washington in interleague action today, though third baseman Adrian Beltre made a bit of noise. Beltre went 1-for-3 with one walk and his 14th homer of the season, good for one RBI and one run scored on the day. |
