Here is an explanation of this weekly feature. This entry lists the best and worst for the past 30 days of the 2016 regular season, through games of Sunday, August 28.
Comment of the week: As the title implies, the Yankee rookie has had himself a nice start to his career. Over in the National League, the Rockies have had a rough go of it of late despite two of the league’s best hitters. Cubs starting pitchers, by contrast, have not had a rough go of it of late.
