2. Khris Davis‘ big day

2. Michael Cuddyer could be activated tomorrow

2. Quick thoughts on Henry Owens‘ debut
3. Michael Pineda update

Don’t worry faithful Roto Riteup readers, Zach Sanders will return to his normal duties tomorrow.

On today’s agenda:
1. Curtis Granderson keeps hitting
2. Michael Pineda placed on disabled list

On today’s agenda:
1. Bad news for Matt Holliday
2. Mookie Betts shelved with a concussion
3. Javier Baez watch
4. Welcome back, Travis d’Arnaud
