Cole Power: The HOU right-hander has fanned 11 per nine over his last 5 GS.

The speedy Greg Allen will get an extended look in CF while Leonys Martin recovers from a bacterial infection. Plus, Tigers juggle their OF, CC Sabathia and Martin Prado land on DL, and more.

A new table-setter would make all the difference in Atlanta.

German Marquez is a strong start for his road matchup in Houston.

Tyler Austin should get a look from MIN with Logan Morrison out for the year. Plus, Ken Giles likely to close for TOR, Edwin Encarnacion to DL, Dodgers reshuffle rotation, Wil Myers to play 3B, and more.

Giles brought rare smiles, converting a save Aug. 12 for TOR. How secure is he in the role? Also: BAL adds SP options; who might we see first? BOS closer Kimbrel struggles, as does NYY LHP Britton. Plus, Choi battles Cron in TAM.

The latest update is All-AL: Skaggs (again), JaCoby, Marisnick, Solarte, and EEE. Earlier: updates on Trout and McCullers, plus Jansen, Barraclough, and Leonys Martin; O'Neill and Springer; Ellsbury done for season; an initial look at Trout.

A pair of highly ranked prospects are set to make their MLB debuts today. Are they worth the risk on a slate littered with ace-level starters?

German Marquez has been dominant lately, and is lined up for two road starts this week.

Corey Knebel has been temporarily removed from the closer's role, opening the door for Jeremy Jeffress, Josh Hader and others. Plus, updates on Tyler Skaggs, Jake Marisnick, Casey Kelly, Yairo Munoz and more.

The Aug. 12 starters are an excellent group. The slate includes multiple aces, effective starters with solid matchups and some streaming options among the middle tier.
