Baseball Betting Lines

09/04/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chicago Cubs right-hander Carlos Silva will make his return to the rotation on Tuesday against the Houston Astros.

The club made the announcement Saturday, shuffling their rotation so that rookie Casey Coleman will start on Monday with Silva following for the second contest of a three-game set.

Silva hasn't pitched since August 1, when he was removed from a start against the Rockies in Denver due to an abnormal heart rate. Since that time, the 31- year-old underwent a cardiac ablation procedure to steady his heartbeat.

In his first season with the Cubs, Silva has gone 10-5 with a 3.92 earned-run average in 20 starts.
