Major League Baseball fined and suspended New York Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson for a game on Monday after remarks he made on Saturday toward Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson led to a benches-clearing spat, the league announced. Donaldson, who was placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Monday, will appeal the suspension.

We've chosen to honor the occasion the only way we know how: by passing judgment on every team's season to date. Below, you'll find all 30 teams' seasons summed up in a grade. Baltimore Ravens Jersey  We'll note that these grades are subjective, and that they hinge in large part on preseason expectations. There are some circumstances, however, where the grade might deviate due to underlying or otherwise non-obvious reasons. With that out of the way, let's get to it. GRADES AFTER A QUARTER OF THE 2022 SEASON Diamondbacks The Diamondbacks are coming off their roughest stretch of the s...
