For MLB teams in the thick of a pennant race, it's better to be healthy than good.

This is the final edition of Bleacher Report's MLB Team of the Week before September.

That's significant. September means something in baseball.

Pennant races suddenly become real. Standings matter. Yes, the season bleeds into October, and every game technically counts as much as any other from April onward.

But the end of August, inevitably, ushers in a newfound sense of urgency.

San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Moore fell one out short of throwing the first no-hitter of his career against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday.

With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Moore gave up a single to shortstop Corey Seager and was immediately pulled from the game, likely due to his high pitch count. Santiago Casilla recorded the final out to seal the Giants' 4-0 win.

If Max Scherzer's American League Cy Young Award is beginning to feel lonely, it could soon have company.

In the wasteland that is the National League Cy Young race without a fully functioning Clayton Kershaw, anyone could claim this year's award. From Madison Bumgarner to Johnny Cueto to Noah Syndergaard to Jake Arrieta to Jose Fernandez, there's no shortage of strong-armed dudes vying for it.

The July trade deadline and the August waiver period are not the only ways that teams can add to their rosters for the stretch run. September also brings an influx of new players when the active rosters expand from 25 to 40.

Generally, this is a time when teams promote the guys who have bounced between the minors and majors for most of the season, adding a few arms to the bullpen and bats to the bench in the process.

However, at least a handful of top prospects get the chance to show what they can do during this time as well.
