Gorkys Hernandez (OF-SF) - I never thought much of Hernandez as a prospect or as a big league player prior to this year, but I have to admit, he's looked strong at the plate in 2018. Leading off Monday, Hernandez...

Jonathan Schoop (BAL) - There's been a lot of things that have gone poorly for the Orioles this season, but one of the biggest disappointments has certainly been the regression in performance that we've seen from second baseman Jonathan Schoop....

Marcus Stroman(SP-TOR): Stroman won after allowing two runs on five hits (one homer) and no walks with four strikeouts over seven innings vs. the Tigers, inducing 10 groundouts in an efficient 90-pitch outing. This makes back-to-back solid outings for Stroman...
