Kyle Lohse is set to rejoin the rotation and Matt Garza doesn't look to be too far behind. The only problem is that no one deserves to lose their spot.
Playing time scenarios at Coors Field should always be monitored from a fantasy standpoint. How is their middle infield shaking out without Troy Tulowitzki?
September is always a somewhat unpredictable playing time month thanks to roster expansion and injury shutdowns. But it helps to begin thinking about the winners, losers and opportunities in advance.
Owners may have been burned by a buy-low recommendation on Clay Buchholz. Is there reason to keep the faith? Also, updates on the BAL rotation, Hiroki Kuroda, the TAM outfield and a young pitcher to watch in TOR, more.
It's time to start planning for innings limits and looking at their effects on playing time. Chase Anderson (RHP, ARI) could be one starter who may get shut down early.
A few of the young starters for MIA are approaching uncharted waters in terms of workload. Plus, we'll take a look at the NYM closer situation, the injury-riddled OF in WAS and much more.
The Indians have placed both Nick Swisher and David Murphy on the DL. Their DL stays will most likely extend well into September. This may provide an opportunity for Zach Walters, who has hit 20 HR combined in the majors and minors so far this year, to get regular playing time.
The three SEA rotation spots behind Hernandez and Iwakuma have seemed tenuous for a while. But recent performances by James Paxton and others suggest that some quality competition is at hand.
