Summary

Closer Wade Davis is on the injured list with a shoulder strain, and fellow late-inning reliever Scott Oberg is out for the season with blood clots in his right arm.A club that plays its home games at mile-high altitude needs all the arms it can get, and Colorado should add a reliever or two if it hopes to keep its good start going. Bumgarner has given up five earned runs in 11 innings, and the pitching staff ranks 26th with a 5.44 ERA.But it's the offense that has really scuffled, to the tune of a 30th-ranked .533 OPS. The offense, however, needs to catch up.Cleveland hitters rank 24th with 26 runs and 28th with a .563 OPS. So far, however, the offense hasn't looked up to the job.Brewers hitter rank 26th with a .642 OPS and are tied for 28th with just five home runs in six games.Some of that could be fixed when star left fielder Christian Yelich inevitably breaks out of his early funk (1-for-27). Slugger Giancarlo Stanton, in particular, has roared back after last season's injury-marred disappointment.The Yanks have also gotten ace-level pitching from free-agent acquisition Gerrit Cole and have a deep bullpen that is getting closer Aroldis Chapman back from the COVID-19 list.If New York wants to make an addition, it could add a left-handed bat to balance a right-handed-heavy lineup and take aim at Yankee Stadium's short right field porch. Second baseman Brandon Lowe has two homers and a 1.032 OPS in the early going, but there isn't a top-shelf slugger on the roster.Tampa Bay shouldn't deal any top pieces from its No. 1-ranked farm system, but it certainly has enough minor league chips to swing a deal and improve its chances at making a deep postseason run. Washington NationalsThe return of star left fielder Juan Soto, who missed the beginning of the season because of a COVID-19 diagnosis, will boost the Washington Nationals offense considerably.Maybe it will be enough to improve a unit that ranks tied for 26th with 24 runs in seven games. Tommy Edman and his .286 on-base percentage might be better suited to a utility role, and veteran Matt Carpenter has seen all his action at designated hitter.Top prospects such as outfielder Dylan Carlson should be off-limits, but St. Louis has enough talent in its No. 16-ranked system to swing an impact deal.Minnesota TwinsThe Minnesota Twins have a powerful lineup, an improved starting rotation with the additions of Kenta Maeda and Rich Hill and a stout bullpen.
