• These are the days that lead designated hitters to overdo it with horses. What then, will become of Stephen Vogt if his players keep running around as if their pinkies were weighed down with oatmeal?


• The Diamondbacks are continuing to try to work out some sort of deal with Phillies for Bryce Harper, but talking to Preston Mattingly can be like talking to a cantaloupe at times, so they are now talking to the Brewers about a Jonathan Ornelas - Corbin Carroll deal.


• Whether or not Orioles GM Mike Elias lands Brenton Doyle from Chicago, Carlos Narvaez, Tyler O'Neill, Samuel Basallo, et al cannot help but deepen the batting order and give manager Craig Albernaz a legitimate bench.

verse 66

the Cardinals don't know what to expect from
Ryne Stanek

this year

whose

66

and has lost the bite on
the four-seamed fastball

if recovery fails

expect
Mike Girsch to pursue another arm

such as
Jeff Hoffman

Victor Vodnik

or
Cole Winn
