One of the things that makes baseball so fun to follow is the sport’s unpredictability. So before turning our attention to the second half, here are 10 of the of the most surprising stats the season has provided thus far.

Nationals shortstop Danny Espinosa is having a weekend to remember, to say the least. He hit his second grand slam of the series in the fourth inning of Sunday’s game against the Reds.

The disabled list keeps growing for the D-backs, who Sunday placed ace right-hander Zack Greinke on the 15-day DL with a strained left oblique.

Royals right-hander Yordano Ventura left Sunday’s game in the third inning with a right ankle sprain.

Every lineup, every day, as they are made public by the clubs.

Juan Uribe was in the original lineup for the Indians on Sunday morning, but the veteran third baseman was a late scratch after experiencing lingering discomfort with his right hand.

A day after showing a drop in velocity during his start against the Reds, Joe Ross has been placed on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation, the Nationals announced Sunday.

This gives a whole new meaning to “the right field gap.”

The Cubs placed outfielder Chris Coghlan on the disabled list Sunday and promoted Jeimer Candelario to the big league team. Coghlan had to leave Saturday’s game because of right rib cage soreness.

Blue Jays starter Marco Estrada is set to undergo an MRI on his back Sunday, a day after pitching five innings of three-run ball in a 9-6 Blue Jays victory.

Toronto’s Edwin Encarnacion has been suspended one game and received an undisclosed fine for making contact with umpire Vic Carapazza in the first inning of the Blue Jays’ 2-1 loss to Cleveland on Friday.

The Braves made a big splash at the start of the international signing period on July 2, landing shortstop Kevin Maitan, No. 1 on MLB.com’s Top 30 International Prospects list and the crown jewel of this year’s class. The Padres reeled in six of the Top 30, and the A’s signed Cuban phenom Lazaro “Lazarito” Armenteros.

You try jumping into professional baseball as a 31-year-old.
