Scouting Report:
Orioles: When Daniel Cabrera's season ended with the Orioles placing him on the disabled list Friday, Burres was given yet another chance to prove himself in the starting rotation. Burres will get this start in Cabrera's place, his 22nd opportunity to start this season, and will once again be pitching to prove to the Orioles that he belongs in their plans for 2009. Burres, like so many of the Orioles' young hurlers, has had a season of up and downs -- but mostly downs. The left-hander has worked his way to a 6.32 ERA with a 7-9 record in 28 appearances, seven of them out of the bullpen. Burres' last start came Aug. 31 against Tampa Bay, when he gave up seven earned runs over five innings off nine hits and four walks.

Yankees: Aceves gave another impressive performance in his second start with the Yankees on Monday night. He limited the White Sox to two runs on five hits, striking out three with one walk. In six innings, his one mistake came on a two-run homer that tied the game. But Aceves stayed out of trouble for the most part and kept the pressure off his defense and come away with the no-decision. He has given up just four runs in 20 innings pitched since making his debut with the Yankees on Aug. 31.
