But missing a playoffs could flip that script quick. Meanwhile, the Angel's Kurt Suzuki is sweating on his one-year deal, especially with weird vibes like designating reliever Jordan Romano for. Assignment right after a mounchette, and both he and Jean-Parry Mnation hitting free agency soon. Over in Houston, Joe Aspott is feeling the heat too at 11 and 19, with key starters Hunter Brown and Christian Javier sideline on the injured. List instead of stepping up.
