Jair Jurrjens will start for Gwinnett on April 11, and if all goes well, he'll make his season debut against the Mets on April 16.
Jurrjens ended an April 6 simulated game with Triple-A Gwinnett in a pain-free manner and since then hasn't since had any problems with his strained right oblique. If he is able to return on April 16 he would face the Mets at Turner Field and would follow that up with road starts against the Dodgers and Padres.

White Sox starter Edwin Jackson dominated his old team on Thursday, allowing one earned run on four hits with one walk and 13 strikeouts in eight innings against the Rays.
Jackson is now 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA and 20 strikeouts in two starts to begin the season. The right-hander will make his next start at home on April 12 against the A's.

Astros closer Brandon Lyon gave up two hits in one scoreless one inning, collecting his first save of the season in Thursday's win over the Reds.
Lyon had been very shaky prior to Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits in 1 1/3 innings, and blowing his only save opportunity. The right-hander made Thursday's save interesting before shutting the door. Manager Brad Mills has given no indication that Lyon's closer gig is in jeopardy, but Wilton Lopez would likely be next in line.

Placido Polanco went 2-for-5 with a double and four runs driven in on Thursday against Mets.
Polanco went 6-for-13 with eight RBIs in the Phillies' three-game series against the Mets, boosting his season average to .440.

Aubrey Huff went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and three RBIs Wednesday in the Giants’ victory over the Padres.
With multi-hit efforts in three of his last four games, the 34-year-old slugger is working hard to prove that 2010’s renaissance was no fluke.
Apr 06 2011, 08:53 pm ET
The Dodgers have started three left fielders through their first six games, with Xavier Paul, Marcus Thames, and Tony Gwynn Jr. making two starts each through Wednesday's series finale with the Rockies.
Each outfielder offers something different to the mix, with Paul and Thames offering the best bat from the left and right side, respectively, and Gwynn earning time with his defensive edge.

Rays outfielder Johnny Damon went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and left three men on base in a loss to the White Sox on Thursday.
Damon is now 1-for-19 (.053) with seven strikeouts in five games this season. Fellow Rays outfielder Matt Joyce is also struggling mightily, posting a .056 average in six games. Look for outfielder Sam Fuld, who is batting .333 with four stolen bases in four games, to see a little more playing time while Damon and Joyce work the kinks out.

Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos is in line for more playing time, according to the Washington Post.
Ramos, who is 5-for-14 on the season, was expected to take over the starting job after the All-Star break, but 39-year-old Ivan Rodriguez is hitless in his first 10 at-bats. Rodriguez is in the lineup Friday afternoon against the Mets, but it sounds like this is Ramos' job to lose.
