Jered Weaver wasn't the only important name from the AL West to hit the DL this past week. Erick Aybar, Yoenis Cepedes, Matt Harrison, Michael Saunders and others were also shelved, all leaving ripples in their wake ...
The division's biggest news was the serious ankle injury suffered by the Blue Jays' Jose Reyes. A Red Sox slugger, on the other hand, is getting healthier (we think).
Is there anyone threatening to steal time from Pennington or Helton if they don't start hitting? Plus, the Dodgers acquire a backup catcher, and the Padres contemplate Quentin's absence.
Could pitching injuries in MIL, CIN, and PIT accelerate the timetable for top prospects? Plus a hot Matt Adams in STL and the Cubs' fluid closer situation.
Gerardo Parra is getting an extended look in the leadoff spot for Arizona, while the left side of the infield still presents problems for LA. Plus a look at closer candidates in Colorado should Betancourt get dealt, and in San Diego should Street get hurt.
