The Jose Bautista Watch: Is this man mortal? Bautista went 3 of 4 with two round trippers, four runs batted in, two runs scored and a stolen base. He now leads MLB with 18 homers. 

Due to a drop in velocity, likely caused by shoulder soreness, Josh Johnson of the Marlins has been placed on the 15-day DL. Johnson is 3-1 with a 1.64 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP thus far in 2011. Get well Josh.

Bobby Abreu (7) and Erick Aybar (12) each had stolen bases last night for the Angels against the Braves. 

In need of wins or quality starts? You wouldn’t want to take Jason Marquis’ ratios home to meet your mother, but he has accumulated five wins and seven quality starts. Marquis is owned in just 14% of Y! leagues.

An Alfredo Aceves pitch caught Marlon Byrd in his left eye last night. The 92 MPH pitch dropped Byrd to the ground and caused a cut under his left eye. This was the third time in the last two nights Byrd had been hit by a pitch. Ouch.

According to our friends over at Hit Tracker, Prince Fielder has the longest “true distance” moon shoot so far in 2011 at 486 feet.

Big Whiffer: Austin Jackson of the Tigers leads MLB in strikeouts with 59. The aforementioned Jose Bautista leads MLB in walks with 38.

Cliff Lee, Tim Lincecum and Michael Pineda went a combined 3-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 25 strikeouts last evening. Jason Heyward sat out the Braves contest on Saturday versus the Angels with stiffness in his right shoulder.

Pitching duels I will be watching today: Gio Gonzalez (OAK) vs. Jonathan Sanchez (SFG), Francisco Liriano vs. Daniel Hudson and Hiroki Kuroda vs. Edwin Jackson.
