Luis Robert hasn't taken a step forward in his power production, and his plate skills may hold him back in the short term. Trevor Story is still a strong power/speed producer, but his skills illustrate his floor is lacking. Plus, Dean Kremer has taken a legitimate step forward, Logan Gilbert is not the Cy Young candidate he currently appears to be, and Ryan Pressly is stable in the closer role in HOU.

Josh Bell has been quietly one of the game's best batting average and power sources since July 2021.

Belt Not Good. Yordan, McCann, W. Franco, Giles, and an update on Patiño. Earlier: A finger-cramping array of injuries to cover: Naylor, O'Neill, Profar, Votto, Rizzo, K. Hendricks, Kikuchi, P. Smith, Longoria, Mahle, and Burger. Plus, updates on Tatis and Chris Taylor. The earliest: We thought it would be an easy week... Chris Taylor hurting; Casali, too. Archer to the IL. Wacha and K. Jansen should be back soon.

Call-ups for July 11, 2022: Dermis Garcia (1B, OAK)

Trevor Rogers has been a disappointment this season but there are reasons to be optimistic heading into this week.

Marlins hurler has had a sub-2.00 ERA since June 2.

Ken Giles has another injury; Wander Franco will out for a while in Tampa; Garver elects season-ending surgery; a couple Mets could miss time.

BAL 2B Rougned Odor stole three bases in a two-game span July 7-8. But is it a sign of things to come? Also: might youth be served in BOS rotation; thoughts on innings caps with NYY; Walls alternatives in TAM; and what happens if Jansen is shopped in TOR?

Manny Machado is having one of his best seasons. Jonathan Brubaker is more valuable than many think. Plus updates on Charlie Blackmon, Emmanuel Clase, and DJ LeMahieu.

A sorting of relievers and some teams buying and selling.

In what looks like a tepid week of bidding, Braxton Garrett stands out with excellent skills and a great matchup.
