Bronson Arroyo (age 40) is starting for the Reds today.
I wonder if an old innings eater Bob Friend (age 86) come back for one spot start next Thursday in Boston?

From Yahoo: Francisco Liriano was obliterated by the Rays in his season debut on Friday, surrendering five runs on three hits and four walks in only 1/3 of an inning.
Advice: It was the shortest start of the veteran southpaw's career. Liriano simply wasn't able to throw the ball over the plate, throwing just 12 strikes in his 34 pitches thrown. This unexpected disaster came after Liriano was dominant throughout the preseason. He'll try to somehow put this one behind him and get to work on lowering his 135.00 ERA when he takes on the Orioles at home on Thursday.
I have never seen an ERA that high.

Technically, if a guy comes in and gives up a run without recording an out, his ERA is undefined, since you can't divide by 0. But, for all intents and purposes, his ERA is infinity.

The Nats' Jeremy Guthrie just gave up ten earned in 2/3s so he also has a 135.00 ERA.
ETA It was his birthday. The Nats designated him and at 38 years old that might be the last time he pitches in the majors.

Willy Garcia - OF - White Sox
White Sox recalled outfielder Willy Garcia from Triple-A Charlotte.
Garcia, who was claimed off waivers from the Pirates in January, was off to a .423/.559/.692 start in seven games for Charlotte. He typically has major plate discipline issues to go along with middling power and mediocre batting averages. It's possible that's all changed after seven games in Charlotte, but we doubt it. The plan is for him to head back to Triple-A once Melky Cabrera returns, but as wide open as things are in Chicago right now, a couple of good games could change that.

Happ left his game in the 5th today with an unknown injury.

If it is a major injury it is probably best that the Bucs did not sign him after the 2015 season. It is so risky when a team signs pitchers to large contracts with multiple years.

Won't the Jays have insurance though?
Of course, with how Toronto's luck is going right now they probably don't. Not much going right up there so far this season.
