The same can’t be said for some less fortunate players, as a rash of elbow injuries has many defenders nursing their wings on the disabled list.

Pitching is the name of the game, and last week, it sent the Boston Red Sox swinging up the AL Hit List rankings and into a share of first place in the AL East.
