PCA vs Ohtani: What are the biggest factors in the NL MVP race?

Orioles' Félix Bautista and Blaze Alexander near rehab assignments

Baltimore Orioles reliever Félix Bautista and utility player Blaze Alexander could begin rehab assignments by the end of the week, according to the club's weekly injury report.

Jacob deGrom checked out OK after a bullpen session, and the Rangers right-hander could start the series finale against Washington a week after lasting just two innings against the Angels because of right triceps fatigue, manager Skip Schumaker said.
