Seattle MarinersThe Mariners entered the season with one of the best, if not the best, crops of starting five pitchers from top to bottom. Last season, the rotation stayed intact for the most part and provided plenty of quality innings. Things have changed this season, as injuries have already piled up for the Mariners. They have lost Logan Gilbert and George Kirby for over a month, and now, Bryce Miller mentions some physical limitations.

Philadelphia PhilliesThe Phillies got a jump scare when emerging ace Cristopher Sánchez left his start against the Mets last week with discomfort in his left forearm. There may be no more ominous words to describe the state of a pitcher’s arm—perhaps only “amputated” would be worse. The good news for all involved is the team declined to order an MRI or place him on the IL, feeling confident enough that whatever ails Sánchez will resolve itself in short order.

Houston AstrosThe Astros' experiment with Jose Altuve in left field may need to end soon. Altuve has been okay offensively at the position, hitting .274 with three home runs and three steals, and has been decent defensively as well, with only one error on the season. The prospect of moving Altuve back to second base isn’t about his performance in left field thus far, however; it’s more about improving the lineup by exploring decent replacement options at the position.

Cincinnati RedsThe potent Reds offense absolutely unloaded on the Baltimore Orioles earlier this week ,winning their Sunday contest 24-2 in a game that saw every Reds hitter in the starting lineup notch at least one hit. Recent call up and former top prospect Noelvi Marte had himself quite the game going five for seven with two doubles, a grand slam, three runs scored and seven RBI. The performance has earned Marte more playing time – and he's kept moving up the lineup.

Cleveland GuardiansCade Smith (RHP, CLE) is off to another outstanding start, as he has surrendered just 2 ER through his first 13 IP. He has a shiny 16/4 K/BB with a 30% K% and 14.3% SwK, and has now recorded his team's two most recent saves. Prior to Smith's first save on April 21st, closer Emmanuel Clase (RHP, CLE) had pitched three days in a row, so it was no surprise Smith got the call.
