The Brooklyn Knights mostly cruised through July, easily maintaining a healthy division lead. Injuries affected the Knights’ middle infielders, however, as Roberto Hernandez and Flavio Marquez both made their way to the Injured List with herniated discs in their backs. The Beasts continue to battle the Firecats and Otters. Behind its formidable pitching, the Otters are now in second place. They may prove to be the Beasts’ largest obstacle in the way of another division title. The Maples and Rattlers are still in first place in their competitive League 2 division races.

Although there was a lot of furious activity before the July 31 trade deadline, no major deals were made.
