Sept. 1 Notes
– Dropping off the list: Corey Seager (47th), Luis Robert Jr. (79th), Nathan Eovaldi (135th), Xander Bogaerts (148th), Edward Cabrera (161st), MacKenzie Gore (185th), Jonathan India (190th), Randy RodrÃguez (213th), Alec Burleson (224th), Miguel Andujar (227th), Yusei Kikuchi (247th), Phil Maton (263rd), Riley O’Brien (273rd), Paul Goldschmidt (275th), Logan O’Hoppe (288th), Alex Vesia (290th), Casey Mize (296th)
– That’s a rough injury week. At least Taylor Ward appears set to avoid an IL stint despite requiring 21 stitches after crashing into the wall in Houston on Sunday. Also, it seems Brewers closer Trevor Megill‘s flexor strain is pretty mild, so he hangs around at No. 201 for now. That’s 48 spots below Abner Uribe, his replacement in Milwaukee.

– Sal Stewart debuts at No. 195. I should have had him on here last week, but I just wasn’t sure the Reds would make the move. It’ll be interesting to see how things play out in Cincinnati now. Having Stewart replace Matt McLain, either as the second baseman himself or with Gavin Lux shifting there, seemed like the obvious call a few days ago, but now McLain just homered in back-to-back games. There might just be a lot of mixing and matching, with Miguel Andujar, Ke’Bryan Hayes and Lux losing at-bats.
– It’ll be fun to see how the Royals line up with Jac Caglianone getting activated and Carter Jensen being called up to make his major league debut. Things already seemed bleak for Jonathan India, but now he’s on the IL with a wrist injury, opening up some playing time. I’m rather hoping Caglianone will offer some value this month, but he didn’t really seem to be in the Royals’ initial plans after the Mike Yastrzemski acquisition. Still, hitting .385/.457/.692 on his 16-game rehab assignment should have helped his cause. He’s No. 219 this week.
