It's a fairly busy week with 95 games. But with more teams deploying six-man rotations, the volume of two-start options is even sparser than usual. Clubs are also being cautious with starters with last-minute scratches and skipped starts.

Along those lines, there will be changes between now and the end of the weekend. Be sure to check back for the weekly refresh on Monday morning.
