As the calendar changes to July, those MLB trade whispers will turn into loud shouts. Because of that, there's no better time to rank the top 15 trade targets who figure to be available over the next month. 

Players like Cole Hamels, Johnny Cueto and Scott Kazmir have heard their names grind through the rumor mill for the better part of the 2015 season. While those stars will command the majority of the attention, players like Ben Zobrist, Adam Lind and Mike Leake can also be difference-makers for contenders. 

Without many great options at pitcher, Monday's daily fantasy baseball contests could be a chance to really load up on the top hitters around the league. The key will be to find the right players at each spot to give you a chance to win money.

Not only are there only nine games to choose from, none of the pitchers are valued more than $9,000 on DraftKings. This could create some interesting lineups throughout the different contests available.

Having allowed six runs and still not out of the second inning, the lefty was frustrated. So he took his anger out on Alex Rodriguez by throwing a fastball at his midsection.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Tim Lincecum was forced to exit Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies after being struck in the arm by a line drive, suffering a right forearm contusion.

Andrew McCutchen has been one of baseball's most durable players since the Pittsburgh Pirates called him up in 2009. However, he is currently dealing with an elbow injury after being hit by a pitch. His status for Sunday's game remains unclear.

The injury affects us all. 

Giancarlo Stanton’s bad luck continued Friday night as he injured his left wrist whiffing on a swing against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Fact: Max Scherzer is the first pitcher with 16 straight no-hit innings since Dwight Gooden in 1996.
