Kansas City signed Wandy Rodriguez to a minor league contract this week. Rodriguez could be a solid performer for the Royals, plus other notes around the AL Central.
Huston Street hasn't looked particularly closer-worthy in the 2H. George Springer's outlook, the OAK 1B situation, James Paxton's apparently on-again return to the SEA rotation, and more...
Junichi Tazawa's first attempt to fill the shoes of Koji Uehara did not go so well. Also: a new face in BAL, some struggling vets in NYY, a pitching shuffle in TAM and a 1B duel in TOR.
Michael Lorenzen's struggles, combined with John Lamb's success at the Triple-A level, have led to a change in the Cincinnati rotation. Could Brandon Finnegan be next?
Could a hot-hitting Arizona outfield put Yasmany Tomas and his 2H struggles on the outside looking in? Our tour of the NL West also searches for upside in LA's mess of a bullpen, COL's 1B situation, and more.
Aaron Hicks has played extremely well since taking on a starting role at the beginning of July. With Byron Buxton back from the DL, but optioned to Triple-A, Hicks could be a source of full-time AB the rest of the season.
Danny Valencia has helped OAK address a weak 2B situation, but it still looks like a part-time solution at best. Carson Smith's outlook in SEA, the HOU 1B situation, and more...
Out of favor as a Cub, Junior Lake has landed in an unsettled situation, to say the least, in BAL. Can he take advantage? Others for whom playing time has popped open include Travis Shaw and Steven Wright. Plus, the TAM and TOR bullpens.
Josh Harrison and Jordy Mercer are inching closer to their return from injury, which will create a bit of a logjam in Pittsburgh. Plus, checking in on Javier Baez, and more from around the division.
