Morning Java - 07/19: Torkelson's Two-Homer Surge, Rodriguez Imploded, Astros' Injury Cluster

Spencer Torkelson homered twice to reach 18 on the season, powering Detroit's 7-0 rout and making him a priority pickup in any league where he's still on the wire. Angels starter Grayson Rodriguez unraveled for six earned runs in four innings, a start worth monitoring given his rough season. Houston's depth took a hit as both Jeremy Peña (hamstring cramp) and Christian Walker (hip tightness) exited the same game, the Cubs added Aaron Civale in a low-cost flier from the Athletics, and Max Fried and Clay Holmes are both closing in on late-July returns.
