Tampa Bay Rises to First in AL East as Miami Enters Top 10

Tampa Bay reached first place in the AL East with a 50-33 record. The team advanced from sixth to first in the rankings after a series of recent wins. Junior Caminero hit home runs in six straight games and nine home runs in his past eight games. Atlanta sits at 50-34 after ranking last in the majors in several offensive categories during June.

The team has moved Austin Riley lower in the batting order and recorded five hits and three errors from Ha-Seong Kim in 27 games. New York stands at 48-38. The team ranked 21st in runs scored during June while missing a key player whose return is not expected until August or September.

The team improved to a 30-13 record after a catcher returned from an early-season injury. Chicago reached 49-38 after offensive production increased and a pitcher returned from knee and shoulder issues. Another pitcher is expected to regain effectiveness after leaving a previous team.

Chicago's other team improved to 45-40. A veteran player ranks in the top 10 of two WAR versions and fourth in the AL by win probability added.
