Young team in the the worst division in the NL. I'm not shocked that they are at the top of the division due to their talent alone. Kapler made a TON of boneheaded moves early on.

The list of suspended players grows every year.

Moreland says he’s been ‘banged up,’ with soreness in his surgically repaired left knee. He said he couldn’t have pinch-hit last night, but thinks there’s a better chance he could today. Anticipates lineup return this weekend.
Added this one as it has more info.

Moreland said he’s just a little banged up. His left knee was a little sore in Baltimore. He’s shooting to be back in the lineup this weekend.

Only one extra base hit since June 30th. Maybe he's having some undisclosed injury concern? Maybe Cora just wants to give him a break to clear his head? I trust Cora here.
