Alex Rodriguez is in the midst of a record-setting year, and he added another milestone to his resume Tuesday night against the Baltimore Orioles.

In the sixth inning, Rodriguez blasted his 30th home run of the season by sending a T.J. McFarland pitch into the left field seats at Yankee Stadium. 

Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto hit two home runs against Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Taylor Jungmann on Tuesday night, but the ways he circled the bases couldn't have been more different.

In the bottom of the second inning, Realmuto earned himself a home run trot with a blast over the left field wall. That long ball tied the game at 2-2.

Fact: Alex Rodriguez collected his 3,055th career hit on Tuesday, tying Rickey Henderson for 22nd all-time.

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?   

While most fans are focused firmly on the playoff races in the American and National Leagues, MLB is already turning its gaze to the 2016 regular season. The league revealed the full schedules for all 30 teams Tuesday afternoon.  

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.

Back in early August we played "Future Stardom Fact or Fiction" with this year's standout rookie class, and the piece generated some good discussion and debate among readers.

Now that rosters have expanded and several more highly regarded prospects have made their way to the majors, let's revisit that idea with this year's 10 biggest September call-ups.

First, we need to establish what it means to be a star player.

Grumpy Cat doesn't know a lot of things.

She doesn't know she's famous or that her face has taken over half the Internet since 2012.

She doesn't even know that she's grumpy, much less why she was brought out onto the mound for Monday's game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants.

Unlike other sports, unheralded players are often the reason why MLB teams have success in the postseason. Players like Brandon Belt and Jon Jay reinforced that theory during the 2014 playoffs. 

Over the next few slides, we'll identify a player on every MLB contender who has underrated impact potential.
