Over the last six seasons - since 2010 - all five AL East teams have won the division title. If you look at the composite AL East standings since 2012, New York is...

David Carpenter activated, Aaron Barrett placed on 15-day DL
The Nationals don't have to worry about pulling an active pitcher off their 25-man roster to activate right-hander David Carpenter. Right-hander Aaron Barrett has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right biceps strain. Carpenter was activated officially today to take Barrett's place on the roster.
