MLB Power Rankings, Week 11: Rangers vault into the top 10, Padres crater, and Judge's rib changes everything

Atlanta holds unanimous #1 for a fourth straight week at 45–21 (110-win pace) while Texas' Corey Seager return drives the week's biggest rise (▲9 spots on Bleacher Report, composite #7). San Diego's 4–13 run over 17 games produces the sharpest fall (▼7 on MLB.com, from #8 to #15). Aaron Judge's right rib stress fracture — 4–6 weeks on the IL — is the most consequential injury of the week, reshuffling AL East pressure dynamics and shifting the Yankees' trade deadline posture. The Dodgers remain unanimous #2 with MLB-best metrics in every tracked category (+133 run differential, .784 OPS, 3.17 ERA) despite 11 pitchers on IL.
