American League HR and RBI races may have been significantly altered with the news that we may have seen the last of Jose Bautista and David Ortiz for the season. Meanwhile, a trade between the Orioles and Diamondbacks has locked in a regular rotation turn for phenom Tyler Skaggs...

Since his breakout season in 2010, some evaluators have been waiting for superstar Jered Weaver (RHP, LAA) to come back down to earth. Instead, the lanky righty has continued to baffle hitters and disappoint critics by posting excellent numbers and he's currently on track to post his second straight sub-3 ERA...

The season is getting ready to enter September when rosters expand. That is a difficult time of the year to manage your roster because teams don't typically place players on the DL, and injury information become more difficult to find.

It’s a bit early for my annual lessons learned from injuries and recoveries for the 2012 season as the disabling of Johan Santana triggered this column. The purpose of this column is two-fold. One it’s a review for me as an exercise in reviewing the way I evaluate player injuries.
