Jonathan Hernández was a rapidly developing bullpen arm prior to Tommy John surgery several Aprils ago. His return to and opportunity with TEX tops our AL West list of second-half sleeper opportunities
With Ryan Jeffers out for up to two months, Gary Sanchez will get more time at catcher in MIN. Plus, Nick Solak gets another look in TEX, Daniel Lynch on IL with a blister, and Adam Oller up in OAK in swingman role.
With the speedy Jon Berti out, Jorge Soler returns from IL with increased playing time. Plus, Jack Suwinski sent to minors, Juan Yepez to IL, Josh Staumont back, Vimael Machín steps up in OAK, and more.
The bat of Matt Carpenter (DH, NYY) certainly seems to warrant more plate appearances, and now the Yankees may have discovered a way to make that happen. Also: 2H rotation plans in flux in BAL, buyers or sellers in BOS, two returnees shake up mix in TAM, and the impact of the managerial change in TOR.
