Jimmy Rollins is having big problems with RHPs again at CHW, so Tyler Saladino has been slowly getting increased PT at short. Plus, the paucity of options in CLE (OF) and KC (DH), and more from the AL Central.
Danny Valencia is a trade chip for the rebuilding A's, who have plenty of near-ready MLB replacements. Alex Bregman looks call-up primed in HOU; SEA and LAA may have some tough rotation calls, and more...
With Mike Foltynewicz on the shelf with bone chips in his right elbow, who will replace him in the starting rotation? Plus, notes on MIA 3B, NYM C, PHI OF and more.
TOR has hinted strongly that it's a matter of time before Devon Travis becomes its leadoff hitter. Also: rotation woes in BAL, Kelly's role in BOS, dire need for 1Bman in NYY and potential vultures in TAM.
Jameson Taillon continues to dominate Triple-A batters, and with Juan Nicasio scuffling, it may not be long until he gets the call. Plus, a look at a few other youngsters around the division who are performing well, and awaiting their opportunity.
David Peralta is due back shortly from a wrist injury that cost him most of May. What will his return mean for Arizona's outfield? Plus OF updates in Colorado and San Diego, LA's ever-changing rotation, and more.
The Royals have had little good news lately with an unheard-of four injuries to the starting lineup within a week, but Paulo Orlando has been in a zone since mid-May. Can he sustain this roll? Plus, more from KC and the rest of the AL Central.
Highly touted entering 2015, the HOU OF has been a mess with the exception of George Springer. We'll attempt a forward look, try to sort out LAA SP options, project OAK's 1B situation, and more.
With Lucas Duda out until around the All-Star break with a stress fracture in his lower back, NYM will turn to newly acquired James Loney to fill the void at 1B. Where does Wilmer Flores fit into the mix? Plus a look at ATL 3B, the #2 hole in PHI lineup and more.
Hyun Soo Kim has started several games in a row for BAL. Will it continue? Also, updates on Swihart in BOS, relievers in NYY, Morrison in TAM and Storen in TOR, and more.
Mark Melancon and Trevor Rosenthal continue to close out games successfully, but their skills are lacking. While their track records and low ERAs will give them each a pretty long leash, could their setup men eventually provide more than strong ratios?
