Turn up the Rob Base, it's almost summer, or at least it feels like it. This week's lineups outlook dives into two post-hype prospects riding hot streaks, two players worth adding in leagues which reward on-base percentage and two hitters worth streaming next scoring period.
With José Alvarado down with elbow inflammation, Craig Kimbrel is likely to see more 9th-inning work in Philly. Plus a shakeup at 3B in Minnesota, and more.
Injuries to Lance McCullers, Jose Urquidy, and Luis Garcia have savaged the HOU rotation early, with little obvious help on the immediate horizon. We look at red-hot Ezequiel Duran's playing time with Corey Seager's imminent return in TEX and more ...
Former first-rounders Jace Jung and Max Muncy are back in the Midwest League after finishing last season in the same place. The second time around, the infielders hope to show improvements from where they were a year ago.
Moving Willson Contreras off catcher creates new lineup considerations in St. Louis. Plus injuries and promotions galore across both leagues that affect projected playing time.
There's a path to Nolan Jones earning playing time in COL and he's kicking the door down to the majors. Plus, the Jason Heyward renaissance in LA, a lineup shakeup for SD, another prospect call-up in SF, and Alek Thomas is falling out of favor in ARI.
Nick Lodolo seemed poised for a breakout 2023 season, but he has a 6.29 ERA and 1.75 WHIP through 34 IP. Is there cause for concern? Plus, Andrew McCutchen, Brad Boxberger, Luis García, and Brian Anderson.
