Hunter Pence is back in SF after missing 20 games with a hamstring injury. Plus, updates on Lonnie Chisenhall, Robert Gsellman, Brock Stassi, Nick Pivetta, Amir Garrett, Scott Schebler, Matt Olson and more.
In TAM, high-pitch-count outings seem to have caught up to Jake Odorizzi (RHP, TAM). Similarly struggling is Chris Tillman (RHP, BAL). Also: Pedroia's return in BOS, Carter's tenuous role in NYY and Biagini's usage in TOR.
Manny Machado's hitting .212, but don't press that panic button. We'll also take skills-based looks at Masahiro Tanaka, Andrelton Simmons, Rick Porcello, and Kole Calhoun.
Koda Glover recently became the third Nationals pitcher to get a crack at the closer job this season—does he have the skills to hold down the role? Plus, Allen Cordoba, Daniel Robertson, Jesus Aguilar, and Trevor Williams.
Whit Merrifield is putting up some decent numbers on the cheap. Is it time to invest? Another KC outfielder is beginning to garner interest. Owners are beginning to tire of Dansby Swanson. Is there a buying opportunity there?
