The Aug. 26 starter pool is possibly the weakest Sunday group of 2018. There are few true aces and a massive middle tier that is full of hit-or-miss options.
Jeremy Jeffress and Josh Hader will likely split duties for the demoted Corey Knebel. Plus, updates on Mike Trout, Buster Posey, CC Sabathia, Kyle Barraclough, Bartolo Colon, Michael Fulmer, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., and more.
Billy Hamilton has been more than holding his own at the plate for two-plus months. But is he long for the lead-off spot in CIN? Also: injury updates in CHC, Marte earns manager's ire in PIT, and a multitude of rotation options in STL.
Anthony Rizzo has averaged 32 HR per season from 2014-17 while batting .282. However, through 435 AB in 2018, he has a .267 BA with 20 HR. What’s going on here? Plus, German Marquez, Cesar Hernandez, Robert Gsellman, and Joe Panik.
Trea Turner isn't running as often as he did a season ago, but still leads the majors in stolen bases. Plus, Steven Souza, Austin Hedges, Zack Godley, and Nick Pivetta.
