"Because of a callus on his left middle finger, Zach Duke's next start will be bumped back a day to Friday. "Two starts ago, he had three (calluses) pop up," pitching coach Jeff Andrews said. "Now, it's down to one." Duke flips spots with lefty Phil Dumatrait, who will start today's series finale against Cincinnati."
