Today’s Roto Riteup is unofficially sponsored by the film The Untouchables. As a mostly unrelated note, my old Counter-Strike 1.5/1.6 team owned the #UnTouchable mIRC channel on Gamesurge for years. So, there’s that.

1. Jung-ho Kang’s hitting streak
2. David Freese to the disabled list

Today’s Roto Riteup was written while District 9 played in the background. It’s one of my favorite original screenplays (technically it was adapted from a short, but director of the short was the same as the movie, Neill Blomkamp) and definitely one of my best films from 2009.
On today’s agenda:
1. Starling Marte’s injury status
2. Bad news for Steven Matz
3. Matt Holliday’s potential return

Rather than stick with soccer, instead I’ll shift to something we can all agree on: music! Yesterday morning the users over at Absolute Punk released their top 50 albums from 2000-15 (warning: language). As the website name would suggest, the list is largely dominated by the punk and pop-punk scene, however other genres make appearances as well.
On today’s agenda:
1. Alex Gordon’s injury
2. Scott Kazmir and Jason Hammel leave respective starts
3. Consider John Jaso

Yesterday the USMNT narrowly edged out Honduras by a 2-1 score. Both the defense — specifically the center and right side — looked shaky, though the 4-4-2 formation (with a diamond midfield) in the attack at least showed decent signs of life. I might be overly critical here, but that looked and felt like a pretty lucky three points.
On today’s agenda:
1. Cesar Hernandez, starting second baseman
2. Jake Odorizzi’s rehab progresses
3. Good news for Gerardo Parra owners
