We take a look at some of the less immediate fallout from Monday's trade deadline activity and non-activity, including rookie Joe Musgrove's opportunities in Houston.
The Marlins thought they had their starting rotation fixed, but newly acquired Colin Rea was forced to the DL after his first start and then returned to SD. Who might take his spot in the MIA starting rotation? Plus a look at ATL's starting rotation, NYM and PHI SS and more.
The clock is ticking, but there's still a few hours before the MLB trade deadline. What else might AL East teams do to bolster their pennant push or advance their rebuilding efforts?
Jorge Soler, who was starting to hit when he went down with a hamstring injury in early June, is set to begin his rehab assignment. Could he work his way into a regular role upon his return?
It's been two years since Luke Hochevar had Tommy John surgery. In spite of a rough July, his skills have progressed such that he may be ready to take on a higher-leverage role. Plus, more from the AL Central as CHW, CLE, and DET consider being buyers or sellers at the trade deadline.
There's little doubt the Rangers would like to upgrade its rotation by next Monday's trade deadline. The bigger question is: Who are they willing to give up? Others who may be on the move include Reddick, Hill in OAK; Santiago, Escobar in LAA; Cishek, Miley in SEA.
The leadoff spot has been problematic for the Nationals all season. Might Jayson Werth soon get a chance in the role? Plus a look at the starting rotations in ATL, MIA and NYM and the PHI OF situation.
Deals involving NYY closer Aroldis Chapman and perhaps a TAM starter seem likely. But how else might AL East rosters get reshuffled at the trade deadline?
With Matt Carpenter and Jhonny Peralta sidelined, Jedd Gyorko has stepped up his game, and could be a fixture in the lineup for the foreseeable future. Plus, Josh Bell getting reps in right field, and more from around the division.
Originally thought to be out for the season, A.J. Pollock is progressing rapidly from a fractured elbow. Is he worth a stash, and what are the potential ripples in ARI? Plus LA's outfield shuffle, SF's bullpen, SD trade speculations, more.
