The 34-year-old Oswalt had two stints on the disabled list last season because of lower back inflammation. He went 9-10 with a 3.69 ERA in 23 starts for the Phillies. His 139 innings pitched were his lowest total since 2003.
Noteworthy *
Los Angeles Angels ace Jered Weaver has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a lower-back injury that likely will force last season's AL Cy Young runner-up to miss at least two starts. Weaver threw just 12 pitches Monday night against the Yankees before pulling up awkwardly after a pitch to Robinson Cano.
* Prosecutors are not offering a plea deal to Detroit outfielder Delmon Young, who's accused of making anti-Semitic remarks during a fight outside a New York hotel. Police said Young, free on $5,000 bond, yelled anti-Jewish epithets at a group of tourists, got into a tussle and tackled one to the ground last month. The Tigers were in New York to play the Yankees.
* Former Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox outfielder Magglio Ordonez said he will announce his retirement Sunday before Detroit plays the Yankees.
The 38-year-old, six-time All-Star struggled last season with a surgically repaired right ankle.
