Continue to beware of Hafner; word is that this rest will not be enough to completely heal the shoulder.The Tigers are finally welcoming back their bullpen this week. Joel Zumaya has been solid in his rehab appearances and has been hitting 100 MPH on the radar gun. He is scheduled to be activated Friday, while his bullpen partner Fernando Rodney will be activated tonight. Rodney has struggled in his rehab, but the Tigers felt good enough about it and are desperate for some help.Angel’s shortstop Erik Aybar will begin a rehab assignment this week after a hand specialist cleared him to begin play. He took some batting practice and if all goes well, he'll likely return next week. We will have to see who gets the playing time upon his activation. Maicer Izturis may have played himself into the job of late.The carpal tunnel in Hank Blalock’s wrist has healed enough to begin a rehab assignment tonight.

He will likely only be down for a series before returning for the weekend. He will take over first-base duties and kick Chris Shelton either to the bench or off of the team. WALKING THE WIRE (possible waiver-wire pickups)Maicer Izturis, 2B/SS LAA Should you find yourself ailing in your middle infield, Izturis is a solid option you should look at. He has found his hitting stroke, and with the injury to Erik Aybar, he may have played himself into the starting shortstop position. He had a 13-game hitting streak snapped last night, and is hitting .383 with two home runs, 12 RBI, and two stolen bases since May 31st. As long as he stays near the top of the Angels' lineup, he will be worthy of play in mixed leagues. He should be able to hit around .275 and provide some runs and solid speed, but don’t bet on the recent power continuing.Luke Scott, OF BAL Scott is another hot waiver-wire player who should be picked up.

He has continued to fly under the radar and provide some pretty good power numbers along with a very decent average He is hitting .281 with 11 home runs and 26 RBI. The fact that he was platooned against lefties was holding him back, but the Orioles have decided to give him more time against southpaws and hope that he will show improvement. Regardless, he will be getting full-time play, and should be added to rosters. His play is not a fluke.Armando Galarraga, SP DET You could argue that Galarraga has been Detroit’s best pitcher to date this season He is 6-2 with a 3.31 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. Certainly unexpected, since he had mixed success in the minor leagues with only seven starts above AA before his call up. But his very low line-drive rate of 13.4 percent has been a contributing factor to his outstanding .178 batting average against.

While that rate is not going to be sustained, Galarraga is developing into a viable option for fantasy leaguers. He has a favorable start in San Francisco this Wednesday, where the Giants are among the NL’s worst against right-handed pitchers.Brandon Morrow, RP SEA Most likely he is already gone from most leagues; Morrow is worthy of ownership in AL leagues With J.J. Putz continuing to struggle on the field and with various injuries, we do not know how effective he will be the rest of the season Thus, Morrow and his microscopic 1.00 ERA need to be owned. Morrow is an extreme strikeout pitcher, currently over 12 per nine innings, with some control issues, which have actually not bee that bad this season. He currently is walking only 3.5 per nine innings, as compared to over seven last season. If he keeps that under control, he will continue to be dominant. FUTURES MARKETA name that likely will not have any value this season to fantasy leaguers, but will next season, is Matt Wieters.

He continues to mash the ball in single-A and climb prospect charts. On projectprospect, Wieters is now ranked as the third-best prospect in all of baseball. It’s a bit of a surprise that he has not been promoted to AA yet. For the season he is hitting .350 with 14 home runs, 38 RBI, and has a 38-41 BB/K ratio.How fast can thing go wrong for a pitching prospect? Nick Adenhart was pitching his way into a major-league job in early May, but since that he has had three struggling starts with the Angels, and he has been sent back down. He has produced a 8.80 ERA in six starts and has given up 37 hits over his last 19.1 innings of work.
