Yankees (67-59)
To be announced
Orioles (61-65)

Scouting Report:
Yankees: Mussina bounced back from a three-run first inning to claim his 16th win on Sunday afternoon against the Royals. After he gave up six hits through the first nine batters he faced, the veteran retired the next 14 to keep them off the scoreboard. He struck out five and did not allow a walk through six innings. Mussina has thrown at least six innings in nine of his last ten games. The righty has struggled against Baltimore this season, going 0-2 with an 11.12 ERA.

Orioles: The Orioles have no idea who will start this game, but they do know who won't. Baltimore removed both Garrett Olson and Dennis Sarfate from the rotation Monday and will need to make a roster move for this game. Possible candidates include Brian Burres, Radhames Liz and Andy Mitchell from Triple-A Norfolk and Brad Bergesen and David Hernandez from Double-A Bowie, but the Orioles aren't tipping their hand.

UPDATE: Baltimore removed both Garrett Olson and Dennis Sarfate from the rotation on Monday and is expected to have Radhames Liz to make this start. Liz, who would be called up from Triple-A Norfolk, last appeared in the Major Leagues on July 26, when he allowed six runs in 5 2/3 innings against the Angels and lost for the third time in four starts.
