urn from his 80-game suspension for violating baseball’s drug agreement when Seattle plays at Oakland. The All-Star second baseman has been out since May 15 http://www.marlinsfanproshop.com/authentic-starlin-castro-jersey , though he’s been playing in the minor leagues for the past week. Cano is ineligible for the postseason if Seattle makes it, but manager Scott Servais hopes the 35-year-old can help the Mariners get there as a versatile piece around the infield. Servais said the team will work Cano in slowly, getting him reps at first, second and third base.“We need to be smart in breaking him in,” Servais said. “He wants to get going, he wants to contribute right away. He’s missed playing, he’s missed his teammates and being around this whole thing. I know he wants to come in and do a lot. But again small little things.”Seattle entered Monday 1 1/2 games behind Oakland for the second AL wild card.ROLLING RONALDRonald Acuna Jr. is the youngest player to homer in four straight games during the live ball era, according to ESPN, and he’ll go for five when Atlanta hosts Miami. Acuna homered to lead off both ends of Monday’s doubleheader against the Marlins, making him the first to do that since Baltimore’s Brady Anderson in 1999 and just the fourth to do it overall, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.MAKING PROGRESSKenley Jansen is back with the Dodgers and preparing to return to action sooner than expected after being diagnosed last week with an irregular heartbeat. Jansen threw a light bullpen session Monday and will also throw Wednesday and Friday this week. Jansen expects to return much sooner than the initial projection of 4 to 6 weeks, though he says he may still require an ablation procedure on his heart this offseason. He had a similar operation in 2012.CENTRAL SHOWDOWNThe Cubs and Brewers begin a pivotal two-game series at Wrigley Field. Milwaukee is three games back of Chicago for the top spot in the NL Central after David Bote’s game-ending grand slam pushed the Cubs over the Nationals in the ninth inning Sunday night. Jhoulys Chacin (11-4, 3.91) will pitch for the Brewers against Jose Quintana (10-8, 4.28) J. T. Realmuto Jersey , who gave up five runs in a 9-0 loss to Kansas City last time out.NOT VERY VERLANDERJustin Verlander tries to bounce back from his worst start of the season when Houston hosts Colorado. Verlander allowed six runs in two innings against the Mariners last time out before getting ejected for arguing a balk call. Verlander allowed three homers in that game and has given up 10 in his past five starts — compared to 12 in his first 20. German Marquez (9-9, 4.69) will start for the Rockies. Bringing Justin Verlander to Houston paid off in spades for Jeff Luhnow and the Astros- what has come of the players sent to Detroit in the summer of 2017?"At the 2017 waiver trade deadline, the Astros consummated a deal with the Detroit Tigers which was arguably directly responsible for the team’s World Series championship. The deal brought longtime ace Justin Verlander to Houston where he seemed to regain his prime form overnight, making immaculate start after immaculate start down the stretch and into the postseason- including his immortal performance against the Yankees in the ALCS. Verlander continued to demonstrate that he remains a frontline starter in 2018 and looks primed for another Cy Young caliber season in the last year of his current contract. In short, the deal has worked out better than the Astros could have possibly imagined at the time, and will likely be a huge part of Jeff Luhnow’s legacy in Houston for years to come. There are few prices that would not be worth paying for what JV has given Houston in the last year and a half, and while the Astros paid a hefty price tag for the veteran ace and those players have largely improved their stock since, Houston would happily make the deal again and likely be willing to offer even more in return. With that said, let’s take a look at what the Astros’ organization lost in bringing a Hall of Famer to Crush City. Franklin Perez, RHPAt the time of the trade, Perez was a top prospect in the Astros’ organization and consensus top-100 overall. An athletic hurler with a 6’3” frame and four pitches, Perez has shown an easy mid-rotation ceiling for some time now. He has largely been a strong statistical performer in the minor leagues, and had reached Double-A as a teenager with the Astros organization in 2017. He immediately became one of the Tigers top prospects, and had fans excited entering the 2018 campaign. Unfortunately http://www.marlinsfanproshop.com/authentic-starlin-castro-jersey , it was a season that would never get off the ground for Perez, as a lat issue shelved him early on, and he struggled after returning. Shortly thereafter, he succumbed to shoulder trouble and was shut down for the season, but did not require surgery. He has only thrown 19 innings since being dealt and has seen his stock decline in that time, but is just 21 years old and has plenty of time to right the ship and make good on his mid-rotation upside. Jake Rogers, CA 2016 draftnik favorite, Rogers was popped by the Astros in the third round that season and has steadily built his reputation since. A Tulane product, Rogers was seen by most evaluators as the most solid defensive catcher in the class with potential for average offense. His defense remains very highly regarded, and he has held his own as a hitter as he has moved up the ladder. During 2017 with Houston, Rogers managed a .357 OBP and 12 home runs with High-A Buies Creek, posting strong K/BB numbers to boot. He made the leap to Double-A in the Detroit organization this past year, and struggled to make as much contact, whiffing in 27% of his plate appearances. On the plus side Miguel Rojas Jersey , he had a .193 ISO and 17 home runs, and maintained a solid 10% walk rate to buoy his .219/.305/.412 slash. He had an impressive AFL campaign and continues to show potential to be a 4 hit/5 power bat with 7 defense, which would make him a very valuable player. He should figure heavily into the catching mix in Detroit in the future, perhaps as early as 2019. Daz Cameron, CFFor a prospect of his age, Cameron has a long history. Son of the explosive Mike Cameron, Daz was identified as a 1.1 candidate early in his high school days thanks to his bloodlines, polish and balanced toolset. He tailed off slightly later in his prep days as his tools became a bit less highly regarded, but remained a strong first round prospect leading up to draft day and only made it to Houston because of his large bonus demand, which took him out of the range of teams with smaller bonus pools.He’s added polish to his game steadily since being drafted, and has recently cracked some preseason top-100s. While Cameron hasn’t developed much power to this point, the rest of his tools have the potential to be at least average and he has developed a strong approach at the dish. Cameron is very smooth in the field and should be able to handle center field just fine, and has enough arm to cover either corner when necessary. The fourth outfielder profile gets thrown around a lot, but Cameron has the look of a legitimate roving 4th OF who will get on base at a steady clip Bryan Holaday Jersey , provide baserunning and defensive value, and occasionally some pop as well. Should he make larger than anticipated strides with the bat, there is real potential for him to be a regular in center field, where he projects as a solid average defender. Cameron’s future role likely rests on his contact rate, but there is little doubt that there will be a spot for him in the bigs in some capacity with the skills that he already shows in the field and on the bases. Considering Verlander’s performance level prior to coming to Houston and the amount of money he was owed, even with the Tigers footing much of the bill, Detroit did incredibly well for themselves in this trade. Rogers could well be the team’s starting catcher in 2020 and may be a plus-plus defender, and Cameron will provide much needed competition in the outfield as the Tigers take stock and focus their future plans. Perez, the headliner of the package at the time, could turn the return for Detroit into a true home run if his health cooperates and his stuff and command remain intact. I think the Astros are already happy with their end.
