• A handful of guys end up on the IL, and Yordan Alvarez has a setback with his hand injury. Will he ever see the field this season?

The Texas Rangers bats have finally woken up as Marcus Semien, Adolis García and Corey Seager are heating up at the same time. George Springer looks like a new man and is leading the Toronto Blue Jays to AL East contention while the New York Yankees supporting bats are starting to slip.
