Morton might miss Friday start: The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Pirates SP Charlie Morton might miss his scheduled start Friday against Kansas City because of lingering tightness in his left hamstring. "It's high in the hamstring, so it's going to take some time to heal," manager John Russell said. "We have to be careful."

Fantasy Analysis

The Post-Gazette reports that SP Virgil Vasquez looks to be the favorite to be promoted from Triple-A to take Morton's turn or to go to the bullpen and allow SP Jeff Karstens to start. Vasquez last pitched in the majors in 2007, when he went 0-1 with an 8.64 ERA in five appearances (three starts). He is 5-2 with a 4.18 in 14 Triple-A starts this season. Karstens started 10 games earlier this season (3-4, 4.80) before being yanked from the rotation. Whoever gets the stat will be nothing more than an AL-only flier at best.
