April 2020
Apparently I can't add images. That's a bit of trouble.

31/3: Gerrit Cole secures his second consecutive shutout, conceding just one hit (a Willy Adames single) as the Yankees beat the Rays 2-0.
1/4: Jack Flaherty (STL), Zack Greinke (HOU) and Yordan Alvarez (HOU) are all added to the 10-day IL and will be out for multiple weeks. Greg Allen (CLE) has a huge day, going 5 for 5 and hitting for the cycle as well as Cleveland beat the White Sox on Allen's 9th innings homer.
4/4: Max Scherzer to the IL for a month with a forearm issue.
6/4: Miguel Sano (MIN, 4HR 7RBI AVG .450) and Corey Seager (LAD, 5RBI AVG .556) are elected Players of the Week.
7/4: Alex Wood signs a 3Y 15M extension with the Dodgers. A second Indian has 5 hits in a game - this time Jose Ramirez against the Twins - while Max Muncy helps those Dodgers beat STL in extra innings with 3HR. Patrick Corbin goes on the 60-day IL with a torn tendon and his regular season is over.
8/4: Stephen Strasburg picks up the slack with two Washington batterymates on IL (forcing Austin Voth into the rotation) and fans 15 Marlins to get Washington the win.
9/4: KC SP Jakob Junis undergoes elbow reconstruction surgery, bringing an early end to his season.
10/4: Two more major players go on IL - Freddie Freeman (ATL) breaks a thumb while Walker Buehler (LAD) reports discomfort in his shoulder. Both go on the 10-day, although are expected to stay for longer.
11/4: Hunter Renfroe (TBR, 3HR 14RBI .345 AVG) and Nolan Arenado (COL, 1HR 6RBI .550 AVG) are named Players of the Week. Tyler Mahle's season is ended due to Tommy John surgery - Anthony deSclafani, who hasn't given up a run as a reliever this year, joins the rotation.
14/4: Avisail Garcia dinks three home runs (off three different pitchers) including a grand slam to spark the Brewers to a win over Philly.
19/4: Trevor May (MIN) out for the season with elbow ligament damage. Nick Burdi (PIT) and Max Muncy (LAD) both also to the IL.
20/4: Nelson Cruz (MIN, 3HR 6RBI .478 avg) and Avisail Garcia (MIL, three more HR after that big game) named Players of the Week.
22/4: Toronto's Wilmer Font out for 4 months with elbow problems.
24/4: NYM closer Edwin Diaz partially tears his rotator cuff and is out for 4 months. Cleveland are on the receiving end of a 5-hit game this time as Mike Tauchman hits five singles in a Yankees win.
25/4: Miami catcher Francesco Cervelli requests a trade.
26/4: Miami catcher Francesco Cervelli is traded to Colorado for Mike Gerber (career minor league LF) and Julian Fernandez (RP, age 24, OV 1 star, POT 5 stars).
27/4: Victor Reyes (DET, 1HR 3RBI .440 avg) and Nolan Arenado (COL, 5HR 13RBI .500 avg) named Players of the Week. Two trades occur: the Nationals fix their starting pitching issue by trading Starlin Castro and a prospect to Texas for Mike Minor, while Seattle swap Kendall Graveman for KC's Kyle Isbel.
28/4: Cole Sulser's breakout season won't happen, as he tears his elbow ligament and undergoes Tommy John surgery. He's out for the season, and for much of next year's.
Standings as of 30/4: TBR lead the league at 24-9. ATL, MIL, ARI, MIN and TEX are the other division leaders, while Seattle are the worst team in the league at 10-23 (Baltimore are 10-21 and CWS 11-20).
