The Rangers stumbled for the first time this season, winning just two games against the Blue Jays and Indians last week. It doesn’t get any easier as they are in Baltimore for four before returning home to face the Halos.

The Dodgers struggled on the road last week but thankfully return home for the first time under the new ownership group that includes Magic Johnson.

The Nationals landed yet another offensive player on the disabled list after Jayson Werth broke his wrist sliding for a ball in the outfield on Sunday. But on the bright side, it means more time for Bryce Harper.

After winning four games last week against the Rangers and Angels, the Jays get to toss staff ace Ricky Romero against both the A’s and Twins.

Since blowing a save on Opening Day, Chris Perez has been pretty much automatic for the Tribe, including four saves last week for the Central leaders.

The Mets have won each of their first three homestands to start the year, which is significant considering last season they won only three homestands the entire year.

Brandon Phillips started off the season battling through a left hamstring strain and has had to play catch-up of sorts offensively. Apparently he hasn’t caught up yet, as he continued to struggle at the plate.

The injury bug continues to bite the Giants, as Pablo Sandoval became the latest member of the DL club after breaking his left hand.

The Brew Crew wrapped up a nine-game road trip with as many wins (three) as players lost to the disabled list. Yikes.

Coco Crisp heading to the DL isn’t a good thing, but at least the A’s get to give one of the brighter prospects in the organization, Michael Taylor, another look at the big league level.

The Rockies starters are struggling to go deep into games of late, which in turn has taxed the bullpen. With Jamie Moyer scheduled to pitch every fifth day, that trend could continue.

A season-high five-game winning streak is a nice boost for a young Houston club that has shown some major improvement early on after setting a club record for futility last season.

Manager Clint Hurdle once envisioned the day when the Pirates could hit Pedro Alvarez in the cleanup spot. It appears that day has arrived. Now if he could just envision a few more Bucco victories.

The Royals finally won a game at Kauffman Stadium, only to have it overshadowed by the season-ending injury to Mariano Rivera. It’s been that kind of year for the Royals.

The Twins rank among the AL-worst in runs scored, batting average, home runs, runs batted in, slugging percentage, etc. No secret to why they are dead last in the rankings.
