Jose Bautista and Rougned Odor started a brawl over the weekend, and one of them figures to pay an especially heavy price for it.

But don't think for a second the other should get off easy.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have gotten off to a slow start this season, so an injury to Adrian Gonzalez's back is not what their lineup needed to see.

Gonzalez Exits vs. Angels 

Monday, May 16

Gonzalez left Monday's game with "lower-back tightness," according to Ken Gurnick of MLB.com. He went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts before exiting. 

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Garrett Richards will receive treatment on his injured right elbow in an attempt to avoid Tommy John surgery.

General manager Billy Eppler announced the news Monday, adding that Richards is receiving injections to help rehab the elbow, per Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register:

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor expects to be suspended for his role in the Sunday brawl between his team and Jose Bautista’s Toronto Blue Jays.   

Odor said on Monday, “I know I’m going to be suspended for a couple games, but I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing,” per Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor will make $522,700 in 2016, according to Spotrac, but that didn't stop one fan from creating a GoFundMe page to pay for any fine Odor receives for punching Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista in the face, per the Dallas Morning News.

New York Yankees outfielder Carlos Beltran hit his 400th career home run during Sunday's 7-5 win over the Chicago White Sox, joining Mickey Mantle, Eddie Murray and Chipper Jones as the only switch-hitters in MLB history with 400 or more homers, per MLB Stat of the Day.

One quarter of the 2016 MLB season is in the books, but there's still a ton of baseball ahead.

The Chicago Cubs stumbled a bit with a series loss to the San Diego Padres, but they're still comfortably looking down on the other 29 teams from the No. 1 spot in these rankings.

Things continue to shuffle within the top 10, though.

The Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles both climbed with strong showings, and the Philadelphia Phillies are officially inside the top 10 for the first time this year.

What a world.

The effort to make baseball fun again took a violent turn on Sunday—one that will hurt fantasy managers nearly as much as Jose Bautista.

The Chicago Cubs are the best team in baseball.

At roughly the one-quarter mark of the 2016 season, that should be a fairly uncontroversial statement.

You can point to the numbers—specifically the Cubs' 27-9 record and absurd plus-109 run differential, both tops in MLB.

Or you can just watch them play.

If it wasn't before, it's safe to say now: The Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers don't like each other very much.

Wait, scratch that. They don't like each other at all.

Ask Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor, whose right fist connected squarely with Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista's jaw on Sunday, clearing the benches and reigniting a blood feud that's been simmering since last fall.

We'll get into the history and what it means going forward shortly. First, the punch:
