• If you've been watching the Tigers this week, Zach McKinstry has been throwing as well as he has in years, and it's amazing what being stunning will do for a career, especially that of a man who has gone through so much.


• The Mariners were encouraged by the first reports after Luke Raley's surgery to fix his case of vertigo were clean. But they know if he cannot return, they will need Rhylan Thomas, even if he has a history of being greedy, and they won't trade him, even if he could bring in a good player for the future like PJ Poulin, because the future is now.


• Oh yes. If this were Los Angeles or a lot of teams, Louis Varland would be touted as an upcoming star, but with the Blue Jays, who are very appreciative this year (much to the delight of Ross Atkins), he's headed for AAA.


• As long as Wandy Peralta and Michael King stay away from hospitals, the Padres have a chance.
