If Brandon Drury (3B, NYY) takes well to some upcoming action at 1B, he may finally find himself back in New York. Also: Hess's mess in BAL, Pomeranz's roles in BOS, Romo trade rumblings in TAM, and Borucki's debut in TOR.

Justin Smoak may be slumping, but that may not be the biggest risk to his playing time in the near term. Also: Davis down in the dumps in BAL, Moreland cools in BOS, Loaisiga debuts in NYY, and Kiermaier set to return in TAM.

First, it was Jake Bauers. Next, will it be Willy Adames to get the call into a full-time role in TAM? Also: Bullpen thoughts in BAL, Swihart's swoon in BOS, Chapman's knee in NYY and Travis' travails in TOR.

Dead weight for much of the season, Randal Grichuk (OF, TOR) has a big game. Is that any reason to pay attention to him? Also: the RF morass in BAL, catching thoughts in BOS, Sabathia's struggles in NYY, and closing time in TAM.

In the post-Ramirez era in BOS, Swihart, Nunez may battle over AB. Also: Castro's starting shot in BAL, German's struggles in NYY, impressive long relief outings in TAM and an under-the-radar prospect in TOR.

His own struggles—and other considerations—could send Drew Pomeranz to the BOS bullpen. Also: Hess takes his best shot to stick in BAL rotation, Gray's struggles in NYY, Arroyo's arrival in TAM, void in ninth in TOR.

If Alvarez (DH, BAL) can rebound from a hamstring injury, he may claim the 3B job in BAL, at least for a while. Also: Swihart's roster status in BOS, Walker winning 1B time in NYY, Gomez shows signs of life in TAM and SS churns again in TOR.

Darren O'Day may have seized the BAL closer job, at least until Zach Britton is ready to return. Also: Bradley's struggles in BOS, German's gem in NYY, Yarbrough's opportunity in TAM and sixth-starter pecking order in TOR.

You can't lose your job due to injury? Try telling that to Brandon Drury (3B, NYY), perhaps. Also: Davis' down in dumps in BAL, Pomeranz's poor performance in BOS, Robertson's rise in TAM, and Travis' travails in TOR.

The Yankees have welcomed top prospect Gleyber Torres into the fold, reportedly to take over at 2B. Who stands to lose PT? Also: back-of-the-rotation woes in BAL, Swihart stagnates in BOS, Chirinos anointed in TAM and Gurriel promoted in TAM.

In TAM, closer Alex Colome already has a pair of blown saves and losses. If a change is made, who benefits? Also: Alvarez gets a boost in BAL, Pomeranz set to return in BOS, some pitching thoughts in NYY and Hernandez makes a splash in TOR.
