With August in the books, teams have the flexibility of expanded 40 player rosters as they begin their final push to the end of the season. The playoff picture is wide open with but one exception. The Brooklyn Knights have not mathematically clinched their division but the outcome is a mere formality. With a lead of over 20 games, another division title is almost certain. About the only thing that didn't go well for the Knights was an injury to their standout rookie outfielder Grayson Currall. Currall was sent to the injured list with shoulder inflammation. It appears probable that he will miss the rest of the season. The other three divisions are up for grabs heading into September. The Beasts have a three game lead over the Otters. The Maples have a two and a half game lead over the Allies. Finally, the Crusaders cling to a mere two game lead over the Slam.
