Wilmer Flores has been swinging a hot bat of late and appears to be nailing down the third base job. Plus a look at the ATL bullpen, MIA SS, PHI starting rotation and LF in WAS.
Hunter Pence is back in SF after missing 20 games with a hamstring injury. Plus, updates on Lonnie Chisenhall, Robert Gsellman, Brock Stassi, Nick Pivetta, Amir Garrett, Scott Schebler, Matt Olson and more.
In TAM, high-pitch-count outings seem to have caught up to Jake Odorizzi (RHP, TAM). Similarly struggling is Chris Tillman (RHP, BAL). Also: Pedroia's return in BOS, Carter's tenuous role in NYY and Biagini's usage in TOR.
Eddie Butler has struggled since joining the CHC rotation and his grasp on a rotation spot may be weakening. Plus, a look at the plight of Peraza in CIN, the MIL bullpen, opportunity for a recent call-up in the PIT infield, and the STL outfield in the wake of Randal Grichuk's demotion.
Jon Lester and Carlos Carrasco highlight today's slate, but things get interesting in the "Wildcard" category with "blast from the past" starters from the NL West rating very highly.
