But with the lack of a positive test, the claim that Bautista made an adjustment to his swing…

As the Dog Days of August fast approach, the realization that yet another Blue Jays season will end without a trip to the playoffs is beginning to dawn.

The Dodgers have finally stared to feel the pressure of the impending spring training report date without a full pitching staff.
