The Orioles have six games left on their regular season schedule. The Yankees lead the division by six games. Even the people who choke when trying to crunch numbers can digest this one.

CHICAGO – CJ Abrams’ demotion to the minors with one week to go in the season seemingly came out of nowhere. It shocked teammates. It confused the rest of the baseball world.

And it’s certainly not the way he expected it to end, with a surprise promotion to the majors for the final week after CJ Abrams’ unexpected, disciplinary demotion.
