Injuries have changed or are set to change the landscape of each team in the NL Central. We look at both the short-term and long-term implications of these changes.
Cal Quantrill is nearing a return to action, which will leave Guardian brass with a tough decision to make. Plus, Turnbull trying to work his way back as well and more from around the AL Central.
Back issues and a poor performance to date from Jose Abreu put HOU's 1B time in question, but thinking along with Mgr Dusty Baker is never that easy. We look at some playing time auditions in TEX and SEA, the SS outlook in OAK, and more ...
Long part of a subpar offense in SEA, J.P. Crawford is now surging in the second half, as the club's middle infield outlook begins to improve. We check in on the Rangers' lineup, Logan O'Hoppe's rehab status, and more...
Has OF Alex Verdugo gotten a wake-up call? Or might he find himself back in BOS manager Alex Cora's doghouse? Also: Cowser on borrowed time in BAL, rotation depth tested in NYY, Mead's opportunity in TAM and where Schneider fits in TOR.
STL, CHC, and MIL all altered their roster in significant ways that will impact playing time significantly for the next two months. Plus, an underperformer that's rarely been talked about in CIN and the shift in depth pitching options in PIT.
Craig Kimbrel is being used a lot in Philly; can it continue? Plus Luis García's future in WAS; new faces in MIA; post-deadline Mets starters, and the Braves fortifying their edges.
Brandon Drury was one of the Angels' most productive hitters before going down with a shoulder injury, but he now faces a crowded playing time situation upon his return. We check out the post-trade-deadline AL West.
Could Jordan Lawlar provide a needed spark in ARI? Plus, a pitching prospect on the rise in SF, some crowded lineup spots in SD and COL, and the suddenly solid pitching staff in LA.
