With the regular season now 75% complete, here are three things well be keeping an eye on around the baseball world throughout the day today: 1. Meadows to be promoted: Tigers outfield prospect is , as the Tigers themselves have announced. Meadows is the brother of fellow Tigers outfielder , and has slashed .256/.337/.474 Dallas Keuchel Jersey in 113 games with the clubs Triple-A affiliate this season while stealing 19 bases in 21 attempts. As a left-handed outfielder, Meadows adds to the clubs depth of lefty-hitting outfield options that already includes the elder Meadows (who has been out since April battling anxiety), , , , , and , though the latter two also play the infield. While a 40-man roster move wont be nece sary after Meadows was selected last November, an active roster move will still be nece sary prior to tonights game against the Cubs in Detroit. That move has yet to be announced, but suggests that Maton is the most likely player to be sent down given his left-handed bat and lack of playing time in recent weeks. 2. Crawford nearing a return: After sweeping the Astros in a three-game set over the weekend, the red-hot Mariners are headed to Chicago for a trio of games against the White Sox. There, theyll be joined (according to ) by shortstop , who was in the midst of a career season at the plate prior to sustaining a concu sion earlier this month. In 460 trips to the plate this season, Crawford has slashed .266/.379/.411 with a wRC+ of 129 and an elite 14.8% walk rate. With Crawfords bat returning to a rejuvenated Mariners lineup as soon as this evening, the Mariners will look to continue the hot stretch of play thats seen them go 14-4 in the month of August and climb within three games of the AL West division lead. 3. Estrada to undergo x-rays: Giants infielder was struck in the hand by a pitch in the ninth inning of yesterdays game against the Braves. While Estrada stayed in the game, manager indicated to reporters, including , that hell undergo testing to determine the severity of the injury. The incident is of particular concern given the fact that Estrada mi sed a month earlier this summer with a fractured hand after being hit by a pitch at the beginning of July. Estrada also mi sed time with a wrist sprain earlier this season. If Estrada were to require a trip to the injured list, that could open up additional playing time for infielder , though the club could also call up or from the minors to fill the void.
