With all the injuries and a poor record, the Washington Nationals are promoting prospects:

With the second half of the season a wash, the Nationals have already started promoting prospects from the minors, players who are key to Kasten’s plan to rebuild the franchise from the ground up. A promising sign that doesn’t grab headlines: The three top farm teams all have records well over .500.

Good minor league records tend to lead to good major league records.

It looks like Chase Utley’s reaction on being booed at the Home Run Derby will shift Mets fans attention from Jimmy Rollins.

Mike Hampton thought he was coming back to the majors soon, but he tweaked his groin in his last rehabilitation start.

The Marlins could be the first team to have each of their four infielders hit 25 home runs.
