Brendan Donovan's versatility could be the key to securing long-term playing time after a flurry of roster moves in STL. Plus, CIN is getting healthier; Tsutusgo's struggles in PIT; two young arms to keep an eye on in CHC; and, Lorenzo Cain losing PT in MIL.
Austin Nola has promising underlying metrics, but will he maintain playing time long enough? Plus, is Max Muncy still hampered by an elbow in LA?; can Camilo Doval hold on to the closer role in SF once Jake McGee is back?; a pitching prospect that is headed for a big-league debut in ARI; and Yonathan Daza's impressive stretch with COL.
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.
Alex Faedo has made the most of his first three MLB starts; what's in store for the DET rotation? Plus, chances of a Franmil rebound; Hendriks' time in Chicago, Santana's rough 2022 in KC and a look at the Twins bullpen.
Mike Ford has been an under the radar PT gainer in SEA. Plus, firs base overviews in TEX and HOU; a refresh on the middle infield situation in LAA, and a speedy out option emerging in OAK.
Major league life seems to agree with William Contreras this season as the young catcher looks to carve out as much PT as possible. Plus: 3B options in NYM, Hernandez feeling good in WAS, movement at SS in PHI, 3B depth in MIA, and more.
Ethan Small is racking up strikeouts and excellent outings with Triple-A Nashville and could be promoted to MIL soon. Plus, a surprising playing time winner in PIT and who could be next; Jordan Hicks doesn't look long for the rotation in STL; an updated look at the rotation in CIN; and, impending returns for CHC.
Kyle Nelson is a sleeper for saves in ARI with Mark Melancon struggling. Plus, SF made a series of (minuscule) intriguing trades; don't forget about depth options in the SD rotation who may be about to suffer a diminished role; pitchers who may get a bump in role in LA; and, checking in on the saves situation in COL.
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.
Contrary to some pre-season expectations, Joe Barlow is still the Rangers closer and looking a lot better than he did last September. We look at HOU's bullpen to date, a growing OAK catcher dilemma, and more.
With seemingly more Luis Garcías than Subway sandwich shops these days, it can be hard to stand out--but the 22-year-old middle infielder for WAS is trying to fix that. Plus: Falter in PHI, C depth in MIA, OF in ATL, another DH option for NYM, and more.
