Before last week began,
Pat Elflein Jersey Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers wasn't nece sarily the best power-hitting season, with just two home runs through the first two months of the season or so.Rockies fans knew the level of power that he can bring at the plate, especially considering he hit 15 homers in 2021.Well, let's just say that things quickly corrected itself in the best ways po sible as
Shi Smith Jersey Rodgers hit four in six games and won NL Player of the Week honors in the proce s.Not only did he hit .345 with a 1.252 OPS during the week, he also had arguably the best single-game performance of his career, a three-homer day on June 1.It was Rodgers' first multi-homer game in his career and first three-homer game, but let's not forget the cherry on top of what was an incredible day: the walk-off.Going into the bottom of the 10th inning, the Rockies
D J Moore T Shirts trailed the Miami Marlins, 12-11, after Miami scored a run in the top-half of the frame.Thanks to the automatic runner on second rule, Rodgers stepped up and sent the Coors Field faithful into a frenzy with a leadoff two-run, walk-
Taylor Moton Jersey off homer.He added another one on Sunday as Colorado wore its new City Connect uniforms, honoring the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains and the Colorado landscape. Apparently, cool jerseys and home runs go hand-in-hand.Rodgers had seven RBI and two doubles during the week to go along with his four homers.He now has six home runs and 26 RBI this
Stephon Gilmore Jersey season, both of which rank third on the team.Colorado heads to San Francisco to start a seven-game road trip tomorrow night against the Giants and over the weekend against the San Diego Padres.
The Houston Astros aren't done. Even though they've already made two major splashes in Trey Mancini and ChristianVzquez, Houston is still searching to bolster their bullpen.
Jermaine Carter Jersey , the Astros have been "fixated" on Gregory Soto. He's probably not the Soto Houstonians were hoping for, but he's certainley an upgrade over most of the Astros' bullpen.Soto sports an
Royce Freeman Jersey ERA of 3.03 over the last two season in 98 innings. 2022 though

Giovanni Ricci Jersey control through 2025, Soto won't come cheap as one of the American League's elite relievers, but there's few better than him right now.His arsenal includes a sinker, a slider and a fastball that tops out at 101 mph. The Detroit Tigers will be hesitant to trade
Sam Darnold T Shirts such a controllable a set, but it could be the move that brings Houston over the top.More From SI's Inside The Astros:
Triple-A Columbus Clippers faced Lehigh Valley on

The rest of the organization's minor league affiliates are slated to open this Friday.Lehigh Valley 6 Columbus 1The Columbus Clippers offense was stymied last night by five different Lehigh Valley pitchers that allowed just two hits and one unearned run in the game.

Philadelphia Phillies backup catcher Andrew Knapp is just that: The quinte sential backup
Kylin Hill Jersey . Even more so when considering that Knapp plays behind J.T. Realmuto, one of the best catchers in the sport.However, Knapp's 2021 season is one he would probably like to forget. He is a career .214 hitter, but that was dragged down a bit this season when he hit just .152 over 159 plate appearances.His woeful performance at the plate this season prompted many to begin discu sing his future on the team.
Charles Woodson Jersey Especially after prospect Rafael Marchan was called up and proved that, after some time learning the ropes, that he could serviceably fulfill the backup role.However, Knapp's relationship with the Phillies pitching staff and his ability to call games is where his value lies. Aside from a good rookie season and an appreciable shortened season in 2020, Knapp has never really
Royce Newman Jersey been known to be a hitter. His numbers over the 60-game MLB season were most likely his ceiling.Scroll to ContinueHis 2021 was exceptionally dreadful and should be
Dean Lowry Jersey considered an outlier. The catcher dealt with COVID-19, entered the concu sion protocol, and went on paternity leave all in relative short succe sion.So, one could argue that Knapp was never given enough time to sustain some momentum,

The Indians outfield injuries cropped up again on Friday night, this time before the team even took the field.Tyler Naquin, who was scheduled to start in center for
Amani Oruwariye Jersey the Indians in their first of three battles with Detroit, was a scratch with what the team stated was right hip discomfort. The i sue was severe enough that the team said they are sending Naquin on the
Billy Sims Jersey short trip back to Cleveland to get checked out, meaning there very well could be a roster move coming today. That move more than likely will be another call up for outfielder Greg Allen, who has been with the Tribe a few times already this season, hitting .209 in 45 games, smacking one homer and driving in five runs.Scroll to Continue Naquins injury might also put even more emphasis this week on
Nick Williams Jersey the team making a deal for another outfielder, something the team has already been looking at for the
Jameson Williams T Shirts past few weeks. The latest name to pop up is Rangers OF Joey Gallo, a power-hitter who can hit the ball out of the park, but also this season is hitting below .200 (.190) with 25 homers and 56 RBI.Adam Jones of the Orioles is another name that remains
Aidan Hutchinson Jersey of interest to the Indians. In the case of both players, the Philadelphia Phillies, who acquired former Indians SS Asdrubal Cabrera on Friday from the Mets, are reported to be in the mix for each as well.
The Mariners had one of the best bullpens in baseball last year, but that has not carried over into the 2022 campaign. Through 48 games, the unit ranks 22nd in fWAR (0.4), 26th in win probability added (-1.43) and has suffered several key injuries and personal regre sions from some of its key contributors a year ago.These misfortunes are one of the main reasons Seattle has struggled to the tune it has thus far, going 10-17 in games decided by three runs or fewer. Mariners relievers have struggled mightily to both hold leads/ties and keep deficits to a minimumthe antithesis to their efforts in 2021.Following the All-Star break last year, the Mariners featured a bullpen that allowed
Darren Fells Jersey just 26 earned runs and a slash line of .218/.309/.388 in 54.1 high-leverage innings. Opponents registered a modest 29.6 percent hard-hit rate and posted the third-highest left-on-base percentage (55.1 percent) during that time.Those numbers, however, have alarmingly crashed through 41 high-leverage situations this year. Opponents are slashing a whopping .299/.378/.506all of which rank in the top-five of MLBagainst Mariners relievers in those instances, recording the third-highest hard contact rate in the league (34.4 percent) and leaving men on base just 38.7 percent of the time.There isn't one particular arm to point the finger of blame at either; the results are more or le s unideal from top to bottom.Of the 41 aforementioned high-leverage situations,
Alex Anzalone Jersey Paul Sewald holds the biggest share at 4.1 innings pitched in seven appearances. While the regre sion gods have been le s malevolent towards Sewald than his teammates, which has made him one of the few arms manager Scott Servais can realistically depend on right now, he's still had some bumps in the road.Scroll to ContinueThis includes a disappointing outing against the Astros on Sunday, when Sewald inherited a tie ballgame with a runner on second and one out in the top of the eighth inning. Struggling to find his command of the strike zone, the 32-year old i sued back-to-back walks to Michael Brantley and Alex Bregman before giving up a game-winning RBI single to Yordan lvarez.Aside from Sewald, 24 of the 34 remaining high-leverage appearances have been divvied up between Andrs Muoz, Drew Steckenrider, Anthony Misiewicz, Yohan Ramrez, Matthew Festa and
Charles Harris Jersey Penn Murfee, who've combined to allow 17 runs15 earnedon 11 hits and five walks. Ramrez, of course, is no longer with the team after being DFA'd and later traded to the Guardians, while Steckenrider was recently demoted to Triple-A Tacoma. Muoz, however, has been the biggest culprit in this group, accounting for eight of the 17 runs allowed.Diego Castillo, Sergio Romo, Matt Koch and Erik Swanson claim ownership of Seattle's 10 other high-leverage appearances so far. Koch and Swanson went scorele s in their respective opportunities, but the former is back in Triple-A and the latter is currently recovering from right elbow inflammation. Romo has also recorded a scorele s inning's worth of work over two outings and will be a crucial a set for the team moving forward, thanks to his elite ability to generate weak contact.Interestingly, despite his overall struggles this season, Castillo's numbers suggest he's been better than some may think. He's provided Seattle with 2.1 innings of high-leverage production in six total appearances, giving up two earned runs on a pair of hits and a walk.
Tyrell Williams Jersey There is the obvious caveat of a very small sample size, but he leads the club with four high-leverage strikeouts, including two with a pair of runners in scoring position to secure a one-run win over the Mets, and may very well be the victim of bad luck and lackluster defense behind him, as supported by his 0.99 FIP contrasting his 7.71 ERA.Still, the fact of the matter remains that Seattle has
Romeo Okwara Jersey major i sues in its bullpen and has not been good enough in other areas to make up for the unit's regre sion. Until Swanson is able to return, Sewald, Romo andto a degreeCastillo appear to be the only relievers deserving of Servais and company's confidence.Three reliable pieces out of what is typically an eight-man group is not a ratio the Mariners want to maintain for much longer if they can help it. Pieces will need to be added one way or another, whether or not the team's playoff aspirations survive the summer.So while it's natural for fans to question the bullpen management skills of their favorite team's manager, particularly in high-leverage situations, the talent has to be there for the decisions to truly matter. Frankly, Servais doesn't have much to work with right now, and that's one of the biggest obstacles impeding the Mariners as a whole.
