BAL 2B Rougned Odor stole three bases in a two-game span July 7-8. But is it a sign of things to come? Also: might youth be served in BOS rotation; thoughts on innings caps with NYY; Walls alternatives in TAM; and what happens if Jansen is shopped in TOR?
Despite his defensive value, might Jackie Bradley get squeezed off BOS roster? Also: an OF prospect returns to field for BAL, Gallo hangs on in NYY, Lowe does likewise in TAM, and is a sixth starter emerging in TOR?
TAM 2B Isaac Paredes was fantasy baseball's player of the day on June 21, launching three home runs. But will his playing time hold? Also: next prospect up in BAL, base-running aggression takes hold in BOS, Cortes' stumbles in NYY and Springer's latest injury in TOR.
Between Kevin Kiermaier's injury and a weak tandem in right field, the reasons for the Rays to recall OF Josh Lowe seem to be mounting. Also: Hall to get call in BAL? Sale's role in BOS, Germán on the comeback trail in NYY and Biggio's bump in TOR.
Matt Strahm of BOS logged two saves this week, but you may want to hold a bit tight to your FAAB wallet. Also: Potential Mancini, Santander deals in BAL, odd men out in NYY, Adam's opportunity in TAM and a top catching prospect arrives in TOR.
Shane Baz may be one successful rehab start away from rejoining the TAM rotation. But whom will he replace? Also: Rodriguez era on hold in BAL, a possible lead-off solution in BOS, stability reigns in NYY and Stripling's opening in TOR.
Faced with a spate of injuries, NYY called in Matt Carpenter, but can the veteran make a long-term contribution? Also: Mateo's swoon in BAL, Franchy's chance in BOS, closing thoughts in TAM and Biggio's impact in TOR.
For all of May, Aaron Hicks has been mired in a deep slump, but NYY's alternatives are few and far between. Also: Nevin tries to hang on in BAL; Houck's role in BOS; Paredes hype, take two, in TAM; and some bullpen churn in TOR.
So much for sneaking BAL's Félix Bautista through Sunday's FAAB run. But should you jump into what figures to be robust bidding anyway? Also: Still searching for a closer in BOS, buy-low opportunity on Torres in NYY, Kittredge's stumble in TAM and forthcoming lineup depth in TOR.
Jarren Duran was immediately inserted as the lead-off hitter upon his arrival in BOS. But how likely is he to stick? Also: Wells' lack of depth in BAL, Gallo's struggles in NYY, Paredes' opportunity in TAM and some Triple-A names to know in TOR.
A look at youngster Kyle Bradish, and a note on Jorge López. Also: the need for two Whitlocks in BOS, the shuffling pen in NYY, Margot in a muddle in TAM and a forthcoming lineup crunch in TOR.
