– Dropping off the list: Roman Anthony (66th), Adolis García (113th), Kodai Senga (185th), Seth Lugo (213th), Lourdes Gurriel (226th), Tyler Freeman (234th), Devin Williams (240th), Nestor Cortes (249th), Kyle Finnegan (265th), Emilio Pagán (268th), Seranthony Domínguez (275th), Jasson Domínguez (279th), Joc Pederson (283rd), Tommy Pham (286th), C.J. Kayfus (287th), Cedric Mullins (288th), José Soriano (290th, Connor Norby (293rd), Gavin Lux (297th), Braxton Ashcraft (299th), Calvin Faucher (300th)
– Little is known about Trea Turner’s hamstring injury at the moment, so he gets a rather generic ranking of No. 179 for now. Bryson Stott has climbed from No. 229 to No. 187, as he could ascend to the leadoff spot in Philadelphia with Turner absent. At the very least, he’ll probably stop receiving so much time off against lefties.
– Daniel Palencia tumbles nearly 200 spots to No. 280 after leaving Sunday’s game with a shoulder issue. Maybe that will prove to be an overreaction, but there’s only three weeks to go and it seems likely that he’ll miss some time. Brad Keller joins the rankings at No. 167 as the probable favorite for saves in the Cubs pen. Porter Hodge could also be in the mix.
– A pair of Orioles starters, Tyler Wells and Cade Povich, made the rankings this week, mostly because theyre due to face the Pirates and White Sox in their next two starts. It was encouraging that Wells averaged 93.0 mph with his fastball last week in his first outing back from Tommy John surgery. Thats slightly better than where he was in 2023 and the beginning of 2024 (92.6 mph).
– It was between Shawn Armstrong and the Reds’ Tony Santillan for the last spot, with Armstrong winning out. Santillan seems like the best bet in the Cincinnati pen at the moment after Emilio Pagán took his sixth blown save last week. Pagán, though, has been better than anyone should have expected with his 3.38 ERA and 30.5% strikeout rate in 58 2/3 innings.
– Youll see Rockies hitters plunging down the rankings this week. Four of the team’s final six series are on the road and theyre pretty tough for the most part; theyll get the Dodgers and Padres this week and go to Seattle and San Francisco during the final week of the season.
