Wouldn’t you know it? The Tigers finally moved Yoenis Cespedes into the two hole ahead of Miguel Cabrera, where I’d been hoping he’d get a chance to hit all of this time, and it lasted all of two at-bats, as Cabrera suffered a DL injury for the first time in his illustrious career. Miggy is expected to miss six weeks with his strained calf, leaving the Tigers in quite a bind. They don’t have a real fallback beyond using Alex Avila at first and keeping James McCann behind the plate. McCann might be their best option at catcher anyway, but Avila isn’t going to hit like a first baseman.

The Tigers probably aren’t desperate enough to acquire Ryan Howard, and it’s unclear whether Mike Napoli andMichael Morse are available just yet, though the latter should be. Adam Lind would be nice; a left-handed bat to slide right in behind J.D. Martinez in the revamped order. Also, the Brewers have no reason not to sell. The Tigers can try to get by without a real first baseman, but I wouldn’t recommend it; they’re going to have to fight tooth and nail to make the postseason with this diminished squad. They don’t have a whole lot left to trade, but fortunately for them, none of the available stopgaps figure to cost all that much to acquire.

American League Notes

Baltimore: Kevin Gausman finally has his permanent rotation spot, with Bud Norris getting taken out of the mix for now.

Gausman should be an upgrade, but then, he might be an upgrade over everyone in the Orioles rotation if he pitches up to his ability. He’s worth the pickup in any mixed leagues in which he’s available. …
