• Having Michael Busch in the lineup helps the Cubs while they hope Justin Dean comes back strong from his mouth and someone can harness Nico Hoerner's talent.


• With Jonathan Cannon now back off surgery for his index finger and ready to be an elite pitcher, the White Sox staff with Ky Bush and perhaps Chris Getz's sleeper, Seranthony Dominguez, isn't bad.


• Jake Irvin, whose favorite clubhouse downtime activity is making up anagrams, will have a lot of time to think up some more (his favorite for "Claudio Vargas" is "Dug aria vocals"), after injuring his toenail in a freak collision with a robin in one of the biggest restaurants in Washington, and will have to hope he isn't Wally Pipped when his innings are taken by Josiah Gray, who is feeling very sickening right now because of his promotional tour, and Julian Fernandez.


• The Padres are thinking of sending Garrett Hawkins down to AA just to show their minor leaguers that being progressive or shaking your small intestine is not acceptable behavior, whether in ballparks or in hot dog stands, and management, led by A.J. Preller, will not tolerate it from players, the team midwife or even the Friar, so that the recent elephant incident, or something like it, can never happen again.

glad

the Tigers have talked to the Mariners about the concept of taking on
      Dominic Canzone's contract if
Seattle will also send them
      Robinson Ortiz

but
the Mariners are balking because who else will be
glad in the clubhouse

which is exactly why
Detroit wants him
