The division was once a runaway, and that was as recently as a week ago. 

The New York Mets are taking precautionary measures with their ace, Matt Harvey. They are planning to monitor his innings the rest of the way as drama surrounds the powerful right-hander.

Will Harvey pitch anymore in the regular season? Will Harvey pitch in the playoffs?   

Let me preface this article by saying that if I had a Hall of Fame vote, I would definitely vote for Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Mike Piazza. When the time comes, I'd gladly put Alex Rodriguez in as well. 

I grew up during the steroid era. I was playing Little League when some of the game's biggest stars were having exciting home run races and breaking records left and right. It was fun. I loved it. 

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson hit the 100th home run of his career in the first inning of Monday's 11-4 loss to the Boston Red Sox, going deep off Rick Porcello to give the Jays an early 1-0 lead, per Sportsnet Stats.

George Springer has yet to gain full membership into the group of Major League Baseball’s superstars, but he is a game-changing talent regardless of his standing among the game’s elite. 

The Houston Astros are about to haul in the benefits of that talent down the final stretch of the regular season and into the playoffs after missing it since early in the summer.

The New York Yankees are battling the Toronto Blue Jays for an American League East crown this season, but they must do so without pitcher Nathan Eovaldi for at least the next two weeks thanks to elbow issues.

Continue for updates.

The Washington Nationals missed a golden opportunity to make up ground on the division-leading New York Mets on Monday, and superstar Bryce Harper was not pleased with his team’s apparent lackluster home-field advantage during the 8-5 loss.

The snowball got moving quickly.

When the season began, Alex Rodriguez was an enigma. Then, suddenly, he was an offensive force. Now, as we enter the stretch run, the New York Yankees need him to be a savior.

Sure, if the season were to end today, the Yankees would host the American League Wild Card Game, their first dip into the postseason since 2012.

For the past few days, the burning question in the Big Apple has been whether Matt Harvey would pitch for the New York Mets in the postseason. There's a complicating factor, though: The Mets have to get there first.
