What happened: Ken Rosenthal's latest Fair Territory episode runs through hamate injuries to Ramírez and Pasquantino and their effect on the Guardians, a Tigers segment centered on Skubal, the White Sox's surge and the Marlins' recent rally. Rosenthal also flags his column on the Phillies. The show is posted to YouTube, Apple and Spotify.

Why it matters: The hamate injuries cut at two of the more closely watched contenders, with Cleveland's lineup and a Tigers staff built around Skubal both in focus. Rosenthal's accompanying column argues the Phillies have finally started thriving, though he frames it as coming too late to change the conversation around manager Rob Thomson.

What to watch: Miami visits Philadelphia on Monday night, where the Phillies are listed as heavy favorites. Watch for follow-up on the Ramírez and Pasquantino timelines as their clubs sort out the lineup fallout.
