Almost from the moment Carlos Correa made his big league debut with the Houston Astros, he looked like the front-runner in the American League Rookie of the Year race. But the Minnesota Twins' Miguel Sano has muscled his way into the mix, and he could sprint ahead with a scalding September.

The Kansas City Royals have hit an unexpected bump in their road to a repeat World Series bid. Or, to be more accurate, several bumps.

Justin Verlander led the Detroit Tigers to a 6-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals. The right-hander gave up four runs (two earned) on seven hits in 6.2 innings.

The win gave the 32-year-old the 20th victory of his career against the Royals.

For Kansas City, Johnny Cueto's struggles continued. It became apparent early that Cueto’s command was off and the Tigers’ offense jumped on his mistakes. The ace gave up four earned runs on nine hits in six innings of work.

The Kansas City Royals added outfield depth Monday before the stretch run of the 2015 season in the form of Jonny Gomes, announced the team.     

It's hard to know what you're supposed to call a comeback anymore. But with Yordano Ventura, the term is sounding more and more appropriate.

For the Detroit Tigers, 2015 will go down as the year their string of consecutive division titles ended at four. But it might also be remembered as the season in which they got Justin Verlander back.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Shane Greene, currently on the disabled list at Triple-A, has been diagnosed with an artery issue in his shoulder.

Detroit Tigers pitcher Daniel Norris continues to set himself apart from the crowd.

In his fourth start since arriving in Detroit by way of the same trade that sent David Price to the Toronto Blue Jays in July, Norris hit a home run in his first major league at-bat.

Top prospect Byron Buxton is returning to the major leagues with the Minnesota Twins following a short stint in the minors after overcoming a thumb injury, MLB Roster Moves confirmed Wednesday.

By now, you probably already know that Major League Baseball is enjoying one of its finest rookie classes ever in 2015. In particular, the limelight has had little trouble finding the likes of Carlos Correa, Joc Pederson, Kris Bryant, Noah Syndergaard, Randal Grichuk and Kyle Schwarber. 

But enough about them. It's high time the limelight was cast on someone else. His name is Miguel Sano, and he's quietly all sorts of awesome.
