Even when youre a fan of one specific major league baseball team, it can be difficult to keep track of all of the news that surrounds your favorite club on a daily basis.However, when youre a fantasy baseball owner and you now have to multiply that effort by 30 in order to be as up to date as possible with each and every club? Its a fls errand that borders on the impossible.Fear not! Well be here each and every week to give you a snapshot of whats going on in the world of baseball, with one fantasy takeaway from each of the leagues 30 teams. Think of it as your one-stop shop for the week ahead. Here are the takeaways for this week, as the second half of the season gets underway:Arizona Diamondbacks: Zack Greinke is not quite ready to return to the Arizona rotation, and will likely miss the first week-plus of the second half of the season. Greinke is currently on the disabled list with a strained left oblique and has yet to throw off a mound, a key step before activation. With extra days off on the slate, the Diamondbacks can go with a four-man rotation for a bit before Greinkes spot has to be called upon.Atlanta Braves: Catcher Tyler Flowers has a fractured hand, the result of being hit by a pitch on July 1. Although he tried to play through the pain, he will likely miss 4-6 weeks as a result of the injury. Anthony Recker has been called up from the minors, but the bulk of the catching duties will likely fall to veteran A.J. Pierzynski. The staffs ERA this season has actually been better with Pierzynski behind the plate, 4.04 compared to 4.57 with Flowers framing the pitches.Baltimore Orioles: Hyun S Kim strained his right hamstring on Sunday, and a trip to the disabled list has not yet been officially ruled out by the Orioles. Theyre planning to run the outfielder through some drills today, and if theres any lingering concerns, then its possible that he may have to miss some time. Over his past 13 games, Kim is batting .333 with a 1.00 BB/K rate and seven RBI.Boston Red Sox:?Craig Kimbrel had arthroscopic surgery on Monday to repair his left knee woes and will be out for around 3-6 weeks as a result of the successful procedure. However, with a rehab assignment on the horizon before hell be given a green light to reclaim his closers job, Koji Uehara will likely have to be the ninth-inning answer for Boston into September.Chicago Cubs: Dexter Fowler (hamstring) started a rehab assignment last Friday, but then called it off when he realized he was not going to be ready in time to play in the All-Star Game. Hes getting checked out by the team today, and if he cant immediately get back on the field, hell head back to the minors for a second shot at rehab games. Odds are gd, though, that Fowler will be back with the Cubs by Monday at the latest.Chicago White Sox: Justin Morneau had just two hits in his first six rehab games at Charlotte, as he attempts to get ready to make his 2016 debut after signing with Chicago in early June. Morneau then moved to Double-A Birmingham due to Triple-As All-Star break and went 2-for-6 in a pair of games. Expect Morneau to join the White Sox very sn, taking over DH duties from the struggling Avisail Garcia (.130 batting average since June 19).Cincinnati Reds: Trade rumors continue to surround Jay Bruce, who said over the break that the Reds would be doing themselves a disservice if they didnt try to better the organization by trading me and getting prospects. One team that has expressed interest is San Francisco, who has also been linked to Andrew Miller of the Yankees. Cleveland, Kansas City and Toronto are also believed to be in the chase for Bruce, and its beginning to lk increasingly unlikely that hell still be in Cincinnati come August.Cleveland Indians: Michael Brantleys long road back to Cleveland is scheduled to move to Akron this weekend. Neither the outfielder, nor the Indians are willing to say when Brantley (torn labrum) will finally be ready to get back into major league action, but with rehab assignments limited to 20 days, common wisdom would indicate that about two more weeks would seem to be a reasonable timetable, if he is to return at all in 2016.Colorado Rockies: Sure, when talking about the Rockies rotation, its always relative, but still, manager Walt Weiss believes his current rotation is the best hes had in Colorado. And the stats do bear this out, with starting pitcher ERA showing improvement each month of the season thus far, from 5.60 in April to 3.98 to date in July. Jorge De la Rosa kicks off a second half on Friday that will see the team play 10 of its next 17 away from Crs Field.Detroit Tigers: The general feeling coming out of Detroit is that the team will not make any deals of significance this season, even as it remains intent on pursuing a playoff spot. The likes of Ian Kinsler, J.D. Martinez and Francisco Rodriguez all have contract situations that might bring enough return in the form of prospects to merit considering a deal, but for a team that tends to use the same lineup day in and day out, they can ill afford to lose any of them and still contend in 2016. Theyre basically stuck.Houston Astros: Despite all the buzz surrounding Alex Bregman, who went 3-for-5, falling only a home run shy of the cycle at Sundays Futures Game in San Diego, he will start the second half of the season in Triple-A. Manager A.J. Hinch said that while the youngster, most likely targeted for third base when he does eventually join the Astros, could indeed help the team down the stretch, he will not be in Seattle this weekend.Kansas City Royals: While the team may not be back at full strength immediately out of the gate this weekend, the Royals do expect to have both Lorenzo Cain (hamstring) and Wade Davis (forearm) back in active service within a week. Cain is eligible to be activated today, but will need some rehab games before jumping back into the Kansas City lineup.Los Angeles Angels: After getting hit on the hand by a pitch, C.J. Cron will miss 6-8 weeks as he recovers from corrective surgery to repair the damage. While Albert Pujols could see a little more time at first base while Cron is out, the Angels did recall Ji-Man Choi from Triple-A Salt Lake to assist at the position. Choi had been hitting .327 at Triple-A, with 27 RBIs in 45 games. Jefry Marte will also see some time at first base.Los Angeles Dodgers: Clayton Kershaw is eligible to return from the disabled list, but will need a little more time to deal with his herniated disc before retaking the mound. While nobody is willing to give a definite timetable, manager Dave Roberts said that his ace would not need a rehab assignment before rejoining the rotation. However, he didnt know yet if the pitcher would be traveling with the Dodgers on their upcoming nine-game road trip.Miami Marlins: Is Giancarlo Stanton due for a bit of a power slump after his stellar performance in the All-Star Home Run Derby? Its always essential for fantasy players to avoid putting t much weight into small sample sizes, but for the record, Todd Frazier his just two home runs in the 23 games after winning the Derby last season. The prior two years, Yoenis Cespedes followed up his back-to-back titles with just three in 18 games, both times. And in 2012, Prince Fielder his just three homers in the first three weeks of the second half. Fd for thought.Milwaukee Brewers: Jonathan Lucroy has been the subject of trade rumors before, and will continue to be surrounded by buzz through the deadline or until Milwaukee actually makes a deal. Texas is believed to be interested in the catcher, and as Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports, the Brewers had multiple scouts at a Rangers Rkie League game this week, further adding fuel to the fire that the teams may be cking up some sort of swap.Minnesota Twins: Im not sure this really qualifies as if it aint broke, dont fix it, but manager Paul Molitor seems to be satisfied with the recent run of success from his rotation headed into the break. Minnesotas starters have a season-best 3.05 ERA and a .222 BAA in July, so hell keep the rotation on track, with Ervin Santana kicking things off Friday, followed by Tyler Duffey, Kyle Gibson, Ricky Nolasco and Tommy Milone, in that order.New York Mets: Noah Syndergaard did not pitch in the All-Star Game, as manager Terry Collins chose to let his right-hander continue to rest his fatigued arm. As of now, the Mets fully expect Syndergaard to be back on the mound against the Cubs on July 19, next Tuesday. However, if he ends up getting pulled early in that game, it would be hard to imagine him avoiding a trip to the disabled list.New York Yankees: World Series home-field advantage to the winner notwithstanding, the results of the All-Star Game really dont mean anything to most of the participants. However, for Carlos Beltran, his ability to get through two innings in right field meant a lot. Beltran, who has been limited to DH duties due to hamstring issues, has declared himself fit to return to the outfield for the Yankees. That opens up the dr for Alex Rodriguez to DH more often, as opposed to the platn situation into which Beltrans injury had forced the veteran.Oakland Athletics: When contract negotiations stalled this spring between the As and Josh Reddick, the two sides were really not all that far apart. However, with the trade deadline lming, and with that gap still not having been addressed, the chances of Reddick being sent packing are strong. Kansas City, San Francisco, the Cubs and Dodgers are all said to be interested in Reddick, but Toronto might also enter the mix. Reddick has hit eight home runs in just 18 career games at the Rogers Centre.Philadelphia Phillies: Could the Phillies have an outfield of Nick Williams, Aaron Altherr and Odubel Herrera by August? Its a possibility. Altherr (wrist) is ready to start a rehab assignment this week, while Williams has hit .283 with 41 RBI at Triple-A. In any event, their presence in the organization has led to speculation that both Cody Asche and Peter Bourjos could be headed out of town via trade before July is over.Pittsburgh Pirates: Gerrit Cole (strained right triceps) got through a pair of rehab starts with flying colors, including a six-strikeout, five-inning, two-hit performance in his last outing at Triple-A. He will rejoin the Pittsburgh rotation on Saturday against the Nationals, slotting in between Francisco Liriano and Chad Kuhl.St. Louis Cardinals: Trevor Rosenthal had positive MRI results, with no tear found in his sore hamstring. That gd news means the pitcher should be available out of the bullpen on Friday, and while hes not going to be handed back his closers job just yet, the time off could certainly do wonders towards getting the struggling reliever back on track.San Diego Padres: Drew Pomeranz tk the mound at the All-Star Game representing the hometown Padres, but hes not likely to remain with the club much longer. Reports have as much as a third of the league inquiring as to the pitchers availability. The Rangers are one of those teams and San Diego is believed to want to nab Jurickson Profar in any return package from Texas. With so many clubs in the mix on Pomeranz, the price tag is bound to be quite high.San Francisco Giants: Hunter Pence (hamstring surgery) is closing in on a return to the Giants. Manager Bruce Bochy is targeting July 25 as the potential date for getting the veteran outfielder back in his lineup. He may have Joe Panik (concussion) back sner than that, but the second basemans return depends almost entirely on whether hell get medical clearance from the league.Seattle Mariners: Although he struggled a bit with his mechanics due to rust, Felix Hernandez (calf) got through a rehab assignment on Sunday without any physical setbacks. The King will now pitch for Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, and if all goes well, he is scheduled to rejoin the Mariners at home on Wednesday, July 20 against the White Sox. Mike Montgomery will remain in the rotation until Hernandez returns.Tampa Bay Rays: Neither Hank Conger (.194) nor Curt Casali (.169) have done much at the plate this season, but Casali has been better at throwing out would-be base stealers, so perhaps thats why hes the one who will stick around Tampa Bay for the second half. Conger has been demoted to Triple-A. Either Luke Maile or J.P. Arencibia will get the call to back up Casali before Fridays action.Texas Rangers: Yu Darvish (shoulder) will be back on Saturday, starting for the Rangers against the Chicago Cubs. He threw a successful bullpen session on Wednesday, setting him up to be activated from the disabled list in order to rejoin the team in time for this weekends action. In his last rehab start, Darvish got his pitch count up to 72, so he may be able to work as many as five or six innings his first time out.Toronto Blue Jays: Chris Colabello can return from his 80-game suspension on July 23, and as per league rules, he can participate in minor league games once he gets within 10 days of that date. So, playing for Class-A Dunedin, Colabello went 1-for-3 with a double on Wednesday, as he hopes to do enough over the next week or so for Toronto to welcome him back. However, as he does have options available, the Blue Jays could decide to send him to Triple-A instead.Washington Nationals: Lucas Giolito, who turns 22 today, pitched twice with the Nationals before getting sent back down to the minors on July 8. On Tuesday, he threw with Class-A Hagerstown in order to stay on schedule and allowed two home runs over seven innings, while striking out four. While the performance itself wasnt all that impressive, just the fact he pitched when he did may indicate that the Nationals expect to bring him back to Washington sner, rather than later. m.com/Jamychal-Green-City-Edition-Jersey/" target="_blank">JaMychal Green Clippers Jersey . -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville. m.com/" target="_blank">Los Angeles Clippers Jerseys . 1, meaning problems for the doping controls at both major international sports events next year.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- This was supposed to be Jacksonvilles year. Promise would become production.A lengthy rebuild would evolve into the cornerstone for sustained success.Coach Gus Bradleys always-upbeat approach would pay dividends with a drastically improved roster.Owner Shad Khan set the tone, saying a winning record was everybodys reasonable expectation.Reasonable? Maybe. Realistic? Not anymore.The Jaguars (2-5) are among the NFLs biggest disappointments, failing to take the step many believed they would in Bradleys fourth year.They have offensive woes, defensive issues, coaching concerns, discipline problems -- and seemingly no clear means of fixing them in the second half of the season.Bradley has received the brunt of the criticism. His career record (14-41) has become as integral to the state of the franchise as Blake Bortles turnovers, sacks and flawed mechanics.But its hard to pin all the teams shortcomings on coaching even though Bradley fired offensive crdinator Greg Olson after an embarrassing loss at Tennessee last week.Just because there has been a move made or a switch has happened, it doesnt mean we are all of a sudden going to start putting up numbers offensively and winning games, Bortles said.Especially when the team has as many deficiencies as Jacksonville.Here are some key ones:-Identity. Even after an entire offseason, four exhibition games and seven regular-season outings, the Jaguars are still trying to find out who we are and what we do well, Bortles said. New offensive crdinator Nate Hackett will try to figure it out beginning Sunday at Kansas City (5-2).-Run game. The Jaguars rank 31st in the league in rushing, averaging 72.6 yards a game. They signed Chris Ivory to a five-year, $32 million contract in free agency to provide a 1-2 punch alongside T.J. Yeldon, but the offensive line hasnt had enough consistent push to create holes.-Line play. General manager Dave Caldwell didnt do enough to improve the O-line in the offseason. He gambled on injured left tackle Kelvin Beachum in free agency, but counting on guard Luke Joeckel (out for season), second-year pro A.J. Cann and right tackle Jermey Parnell appears to be the major misstep.-Bortles. The third-year pro is playing likee a run-of-the-mill rkie.dddddddddddd Hes blaming ftwork and fundamentals for his inaccuracy and an elongated throwing motion thats allowing defensive backs to break on passes and defensive linemen to knock down balls. In a last-ditch effort to fix the flaw, Bortles brought in his offseason mechanics coach this week for a two-day refresher course.-Pass rush. Of Jacksonvilles 13 sacks, six of them came in London against Indianapolis woeful line. Rkie Yannick Ngakoue has been a bright spot with four sacks and three forced fumbles, but the Jags clearly need more consistent pressure from Dante Fowler, Malik Jackson, Jared Odrick and others.-Turnovers. Compounding their defensive dilemma, the Jaguars havent gotten a turnover in three games. And thats against Chicago, Oakland and Tennessee.-Discipline. Jacksonville leads the NFL in penalty yards a game (91.3), a big burden for a team with a small margin for error. Fowler has been Bradleys most egregious violator. He has been flagged seven times already, including four for lining up offside and two for personal fouls.When Im out there, Im just out for bld and everybody, said Fowler, who missed his rkie season because of a knee injury. I have to tame that and control that.Jacksonvilles season appears to be spiraling out of control.Khan hired Caldwell and Bradley in January 2013 and cautioned that the roster overhaul would take time. They tk a huge swing the past two seasons by signing 10 starters in free agency and entered this season with playoff expectations.But now, after nearly four years of buildup and two months of letdown, its understandable to question whether Caldwell missed on three first-round draft picks (Joeckel, Bortles and Fowler) and whether Bradleys player-friendly process has produced more pitfalls than progress.It is a challenging time right now, Bradley said. (Khans) unbelievable. What do I say? He wants results. ... Both Dave and him feel that we can get this done. Whether other people believe it, I dont know. But I know that is his belief.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
