This article is part of our Weekly Pitcher Rankings series.
MLB came close with 12 games on Memorial Day, but it should be all 30 teams in action. I know there are collective bargaining considerations, but can't they figure out how to have everyone play and still be in accordance with the guidelines pertaining to consecutive games without a scheduled off day?
Speaking of which, 22 clubs are off Thursday to put a big damper on two-start weeks.
Kudos to the crew keeping up with the Probable Pitchers page. The recent rash of rainouts has been a chore, yet they've stayed on top of everything. The schedule generating the rankings is pulled from their grid, so please direct rotation question on that direction. I'm happy to handle rankings queries below.
