Andy Dirks will begin a minor league rehab assignment soon. His return to the Tigers’ roster will have playing time implications for Rajai Davis and J.D. Martinez.
The Twins signaled their belief they can contend this year by signing Kendrys Morales. The addition of Morales has significant implications for several players on the Twins roster.
Joba Chamberlain has pitched extremely well as set-up for Joe Nathan while Nathan has struggled mightily. Could Chamberlain displace Nathan at some point?
Looking at skills, Cleveland closer John Axford has gotten off to a poorer start than last year when he lost his job in Milwaukee. Who would replace Axford if he continues to struggle?
With Avisail Garcia out for the year, Dayan Viciedo and Alejandro de Aza should see more AB than expected. Each should be a prime FA target if either is available.
