Because of Sunday's rain in Chicago, the Cubs pushed ace Carlos Zambrano's scheduled start back a day. That means Zambrano becomes a two-start pitcher for this upcoming fantasy week (5/12-5/19). This likely won't affect your starting lineup because you probably will have Zambrano in there no matter what. Here are a few other pitcher that are scheduled for two starts this week that you might be able to find on your waiver wire.
Vicente Padilla, SP-Tex (vs. Sea, vs. Hou) - The veteran righty has allowed only 1 ER in his last 21.2 IP, lowering his season ERA to just a touch about 3.00. He's still available in about half of fantasy leagues, and his scheduled starts against the light-hitting Mariners (just don't throw near Richie Sexson) and Astros make Padilla a viable option
Mike Mussina, SP-NYY (at TB, vs. NYM) - In case you hadn't noticed, the aged Mike Mussina has won 4 straight starts to run his season record to 5-3. His ERA is still a little lofty at 4.36, so he's available in about 40% of fantasy leagues. He's got a start against the struggling Edwin Jackson and TB, and a start in the Subway Series against John Maine. You gotta think "Moose" will perform well this week.
