Despite nursing a sore shoulder, Halladay will start against Yanks

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Toronto right-hander Roy Halladay will make his scheduled start on Wednesday in New York against the Yankees despite concerns about his sore shoulder.
Halladay, the reigning AL Cy Young winner, allowed six runs and seven hits over four innings in the Blue Jays' 11-2 loss at Texas Friday night, his shortest outing of the season.
Halladay was on the DL because of soreness in his right shoulder and has made seven starts since he was activated on June 12, going 2-3 with a 5.85 ERA. He walked 13 during that span.
Wait and see
"We'll see how he does over the next couple of days and go from there," Blue Jays manager Carlos Tosca said before Saturday night's game against Texas. "He's still scheduled to make his next start."
Halladay, 7-7 this season after going 22-7 in 2003, said after Friday night's game that he has a tired arm, but didn't think there was anything seriously wrong. Halladay will have his regular bullpen session on Sunday, but Tosca remains concerned.
"The ball isn't coming out of his hand the way it used to," Tosca said. "His curveball isn't sharp. The location and movement aren't there. It's a get-it-over curve instead of a power pitch for him."
