Around the league...
- The Indians designated Carlos Gonzalez for assignment.
- Barry Patchesky at Deadspin breaks down the beef between Todd Frazier and Adam Eaton.
- Ken Rosenthal at The Athletic explains how the Astros manage to be so successful with their pitchers. ($)
- Giancarlo Stanton was looking good in his rehab assignment, but...
Aaron Boone says Giancarlo Stanton has a “mild strain of the left calf.” He’s shut down for a week to 10 days, and will ramp back up after that. Stanton does think this is from being hit by the pitch last Thursday in a live BP session.
