Fielder worth his weight in a trade

Scott Van Pelt
Tim Kurkjian believes that Prince Fielder won't be traded before the deadline and the Yankees will wait to see how Sergio Mitre fares before making a big move.

MONDAY'S BEST AND WORST
BEST
Miguel Cabrera, 1B, Tigers
The Rangers got away with an 8-6, 14-inning win against the Tigers, but it would have come easier had they been more careful with Cabrera, who went 3-for-6, homered twice, walked once and drove home three runs to raise his average to .340.
WORST
Carlos Silva, RHP, Cubs
Silva lasted only one inning against the Astros. It wasn't pretty. He gave up seven hits, two walks and five runs to put the Cubs in a quick hole in a game they went on to lose 11-5. In his previous start, Silva went 1 1/3 innings, giving up six runs before being ejected.
TUESDAY'S BEST MATCHUPS
Rangers at Tigers, 7:05 p.m. ET

The Rangers' Tommy Hunter still hasn't lost this season; he's 6-0 in eight starts with a 2.39 ERA. Since his near-perfect game June 2, Armando Galarraga hasn't been involved in many decisions; he's just 1-1 in six starts.
Padres at Braves, 7:10 p.m. ET

Wade LeBlanc is carrying around a 3.30 ERA, but only a 4-7 record. He is 0-3 over his past five starts but did not give up more than three runs in any of those outings. After starting 0-3, Jair Jurrjens is 2-0 over his past three outings.
Giants at Dodgers, 10:10 p.m. ET

After consecutive losses that had people wondering if something was wrong with Tim Lincecum, the back-to-back Cy Young winner has allowed one run in 16 innings and picked up consecutive wins. Clayton Kershaw was roughed up by the Cardinals in his last outing, lasting only 4 1/3 innings.
