Please, whatever you do, don't cut ties with Colome due to Boxberger's return in TAM. Also: Wieters' awakening in BAL, Buchholz hanging by thread in BOS, ditto Pineda in NYY, and Bautista, leadoff hitter, in TOR
Jhonny Peralta has begun his rehab assignment, and he'll reportedly play third base in addition to shortstop. What kind of implications could that have once he returns?
Could Nick Ahmed be tossed from the starting lineup? His bat continues to be a liability at bottom of ARI's order. Plus bullpen updates in SD, SF, and more.
Detroit's retooled bullpen has been awful, but Matt Boyd has been solid as a starter at Triple-A Toledo. Boyd could provide a lift to a pen that has an ERA above 4.00. Plus, more candidates on the DET farm, other pitching issues at CHW and KC, and OF concerns at CLE and MIN.
Suddenly Steve Cishek doesn't look like the closer lock he was entering May. We also examine the fluidity of the TEX and OAK ninth innings, the changing HOU first base outlook, and more.
Despite a recent hot streak, Danny Espinosa's offensive production has been abysmal. With June 1 right around the corner, could top prospect Trea Turner soon be promoted to take over at shortstop? Plus notes on ATL 2B, the backend of MIA's starting rotation, PHI 2B/SS and more.
How enduring will Aaron Hicks' recent run of PT be? Also: latest on BOS rotation, BAL DH, possible lineup changes in TAM, and will TOR have new 2Bman soon?
Jameson Taillon has shown no signs of rust in his first game action since 2013, while teammate Tyler Glasnow has been mowing down Triple-A batters. How long until we see one or both of them in the bigs?
Shelby Miller, who commanded quite a haul for the Diamondbacks this offseason, has made several early exits in 2016. Can AZ afford to keep him in the rotation? Plus SD and COL rotation updates, a potential changing of the guard in LA, and more.
Danny Santana went from a .319 BA in 2014 to a .215 BA in 2015, causing MIN to look at him as a utility player. Will he be up to the challenge if called on to play the infield? Plus, prospective SS situations at CLE, DET and KC, and the CHW pen.
Lance McCullers could make his 2016 debut with a struggling HOU rotation as early as this weekend, but who does he bump? Potential opportunities in Anaheim, Deshields' plummeting value, and more
