News & Notes

- A.J. Burnett has made five career starts against the DBacks, and is 3-2, with a 3.67 ERA. The last time he faced them was back in 2005, and he went 2-0, with a 1.80 ERA in two starts that season. Here are some of Burnett's 2010 pitching stats: FIP: 4.62, xFIP: 4.60, BABIP: .301, K/9: 6.49, BB/9: 3.40, HR/9: 1.03, GB rate: 47.6%, WAR: 0.8.

- In 24 games (20 starts) against the Yankees, Rodrigo Lopez is 8-8 with a 5.90 ERA. The last time he faced the Yankees was in 2007 when he was with the Rockies, and he went 1-0 with a 3.18 ERA in one start.

- Phil Hughes will be skipped this turn in the rotation. There is nothing wrong with him, the Yankees are just doing this to keep his innings down, so instead of making four starts before the break, he'll only make three.

- Chad Moeller has been designated for assignment to make room on the roster for Colin Curtis.

- The last time these two teams faced each other was back in 2007, with the Yankees winning all three games.
