The latest news and notes has Charlie Blackmon surprisingly landing on the IL (9:06) plus Jacob deGrom and Anthony Rizzo dealing with back injuries. ... Walker Buehler might be limited early on (13:10) plus Aaron Judge still isn't playing! ... In case you forgot, here's a reminder as to why JD Davis is Scott's favorite breakout in 2020 (16:50). Also, is it time to take Yoenis Cespedes more seriously? ... Why are Zac Gallen and Max Fried such popular breakout candidates (22:56)? Could either or both be this year's Shane Bieber? ...
