The finale of the weekend series between the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers was postponed by rain on Sunday. A makeup date wasn't immediately announced. MLB.com reports that Sunday's starter, Andy Pettitte, will now be pushed back to open a four-game series with the Rays Monday. Chien-Ming Wang, Monday's original starter, will go Tuesday and then Mike Mussina will pitch Wednesday. The Yankees are still deciding on pitching Darrell Rasner or Kei Igawa on Thursday. Whoever doesn't go Thursday will likely pitch Friday against the Mets. (Updated 05/11/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Pettitte loses his two-start status for Fantasy Week 6 (May 5-11), but picks it up Week 7 (May 12-18). Pettitte has been sloppy in recent starts and is more of a No. 4 or No. 5 Fantasy SP in mixed leagues. Wang is coming off his first loss of the season, a tightly-contested battle with the Indians' Cliff Lee Wednesday. However, he remains a must-start Fantasy SP and will also see two starts Week 7. Mussina loses his two-start status, but has won his last four starts and can still be used in larger mixed leagues. Rasner and Igawa are still only scheduled to make one start and are more AL-only options. (Updated 05/11/2008).
