LAA GM Jerry DiPoto gave Raul Ibanez a late May vote of confidence, but it seems to be wearing thin in late June. But Ibanez' potential roster replacement may not be an easy call.
Kevin Kiermaier has made a splash with his bat and glove since arriving in Tampa. Can he keep it up? Also: a big day for Matt Wieters, possible change in Boston OF, and Dustin McGowan again finds home in TOR bullpen.
Who's next if the Cubs trade a starter? When will Jimmy Nelson lock down a spot? Did Starling Marte just save his playing time? And who would fill in if Adam Wainwright is shelved? Questions and answers.
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.
Skills and performances are critical when projecting future closers, as are contracts in some cases. We project the OAK, HOU and LAA closer roles and look at SEA's surging rotation.
After another Grant Balfour stumble, might it be time to give Jake McGee a ninth-inning shot? Also: Gausman, Red Sox OF; Alfonso Soriano and Liam Hendriks.
Mat Latos had his latest rehab start cut short, so may not be quite ready to return. It won't be long, though, and when he does, either Tony Cingrani or Alfredo Simon will have to go.
Franklin Morales (pictured) and Jhoulys Chacin both have 5.50+ ERAs this season. Morales has been demoted to the bullpen. There are plenty of options at AA-Tulsa.
WAS plans to give Ryan Zimmerman playing time at LF, 1B and 3B. What happens when Bryce Harper returns? Plus, we'll take a look at the NYM outfield, the ATL bullpen and much more.
