Is Mark Reynolds back where he should be?
After a miserable 16-game stretch that saw him hit .151 (8 for 53) with two home runs, the So ... is that the end of the regression? Hitting .260 wouldn't be entirely unprecedented for him. He did it in 2009, which was by far the best season of his career. He's a bit healthier now than he was for much of his Orioles career, making that mark a bit more feasible, but I think it's the absolute high point for a player who strikes out as often as he does. Any way you look at it, the 2013 season will be a roller-coaster ride for Reynolds, but at least you can trust him to be an elite source of power again after nearly slumping his way out of a job last year. That alone makes him a top-15 third baseman in Fantasy. Keep that in mind when you're tempted to sell him short during the down times.

Danny Espinosa makes no excuses for poor hitting
Despite dealing with bone chips in his right wrist since April, "I won't ever use this as an excuse," he told reporters after the injury was announced. "I haven't hit lately." Espinosa is batting .150 in May and has three hits in his last 10 games. He will be shut down for a few days to rest before a determination on his long-term availability is made. Surgery is not currently being considered.
