The Indians have placed both Nick Swisher and David Murphy on the DL. Their DL stays will most likely extend well into September. This may provide an opportunity for Zach Walters, who has hit 20 HR combined in the majors and minors so far this year, to get regular playing time.
The three SEA rotation spots behind Hernandez and Iwakuma have seemed tenuous for a while. But recent performances by James Paxton and others suggest that some quality competition is at hand.
Michael Pineda, Edwin Encarnacion and Wil Myers should be welcomed back to their respective teams in the days ahead. Who will be affected by their returns? Also, revolving door spins in Red Sox OF, and Steve Pearce sees playing time go "poof."
