"We'd like to have him back and playing, but we just want to make sure we do it right," Daniels said. "We want to give him a fair amount of time. He's been out a month, so it's kind of like the beginning of spring training."

Thoughts on the AL All-Star Team You can find the full roster here . In my opinion - Ian Kinsler definitely got jobbed by the selections. He should be the starting 2nd baseman. I'm a Red Sox fan but Dustin Pedroia doesn't deserve it this year. Kinsler was more deserving than his teammate Michael Young but Young got the nod probably because the team needed another 3rd baseman (which in turn jobbed Chone...

So, Ian Kinsler gets surpassed by Dustin Pedroia late -- not a surprise, I don't think -- but Josh Hamilton does get voted in as a starter. Kinsler did get hosed by not being picked as a reserve, though. Kinsler is part of the final 5 in the A.L., so you can still vote for him to make the team. Ryan Howard in as a manager's pick? Howard continues his run as the most overrated player in baseball...

Fielding and (lack of) hitting - not pitching - led to Rays pitcher Scott Kazmir's first-ever loss in his home state of Texas against the Rangers. Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki ended an 0-for-16 streak with a double and rolled his ankle. However, he should be o.k. Shin Soo-Choo hit two home runs and drove in seven runs in a 15-3 win over the A's last night. Giants ace Tim Lincecum will face Houston's...
