What happened: Shohei Ohtani took the top spot as a pitcher, followed by Will Smith, Garrett Crochet, Robert Suarez, Corbin Burnes and Nick Pivetta. Félix Bautista and Ryan Helsley shared seventh, ahead of Roman Anthony and Justin Steele.
Why it matters: Ohtani carries added roster value because he has remained active as a hitter while preparing to resume pitching. The group could add rotation, bullpen and lineup depth during the season's final month.
By the numbers: The rankings contain 10 players across nine slots: eight pitchers and two position players. Ohtani was 8-2 with a 1.79 ERA through 14 starts before his pitching pause.
What to watch: Ohtani's Friday bullpen session will determine whether his mound return comes Sunday or during next week's homestand.
