The Toronto Blue Jays-Cleveland Indians game was postponed by rain Sunday and will be made up in a doubleheader on Monday. Sunday's scheduled starters, Toronto's A.J. Burnett and Cleveland's Fausto Carmona, are scheduled to pitch in the first game beginning at 4:05 p.m. Indians left-hander Cliff Lee, off to an impressive start this season, will face Shaun Marcum in the nightcap.

Fantasy Analysis
Carmona loses his two-start status Fantasy Week 6 (May 5-11), but will likely make two starts Fantasy Week 7 (May 12-18). After Monday's tilt with the Jays, Carmona will face either the A's or Reds depending if Cleveland leaves him on three days' or regular rest. Carmona has taken two straight no decisions, but remains a must-start Fantasy SP. Speaking of must-start Fantasy options, Lee has been one of the best pitchers in the majors this season and has earned your trust as a Fantasy regular. He should make two starts Week 7 as well. The player most affected by this news is Paul Byrd, who is scheduled to pitch Tuesday against the A's. If Cleveland recalls a sixth starter to pitch Friday, Byrd likely loses his two-start status. A possible candidate for recall is Jeremy Sowers. Both Byrd and Sowers are AL-only options. (Updated 05/11/2008).
Lee threw seven sharp innings Wednesday night to beat Chien-Ming Wang in a matchup of unbeaten starters, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 3-0 victory over the New York Yankees. (Updated 05/08/2008)
Advice
Lee became the first Indians pitcher to win his first six starts since Greg Swindell in 1988 and lowered his major league-best ERA to a microscopic 0.81. The left-hander has allowed just four earned runs in 44 2-3 innings after a rough 2007 that included a stint in the minors.
