Both Yadier Molina and Brandon Phillips suffered thumb injuries that will sideline them for an extended period, leaving their respective teams scrambling for replacements.
Michael Bourn hit the DL again for the same problematic hamstring that has been bothering him since last year. Bourn’s stolen base production has been on a steady decline for several years. Is it time to devalue Bourn?

Logan Forsythe has been on fire since the door to playing time opened. Can he keep it up? Also, thoughts on the BAL rotation and bullpen, a player you may not want to write off in BOS and one you probably can in TOR.
Kolten Wong is currently on a rehab assignment and will soon reclaim the second base job, but it's tough to project how he'll do in the short-term. Also, Votto still hobbled, Reynolds scuffling, and more from around the division.
The White Sox have moved Ronald Belisario out of the closer role. Four relievers will have a chance for saves while Manager Robin Ventura sorts out the bullpen pecking order.
