The season is only one month old. There’s no reason to freak out! Remember, Mike Trout once batted .220 over the first month and a half of his career. Bad months happen! Most players who have a bad month turn out fine.

But … well, it’s going to be Memorial Day soon, and it’s probably time for some of these guys to start turning their seasons around. So, today at the Thirty, we look at a player on every team who needs to get it going. They’ve had success in the past, and there’s every reason to think they’ll figure it out eventually. But the clock is ticking.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

EAST

Blue Jays: José Berríos (5.82 ERA)
One of the most exciting things about the Blue Jays trading for Berríos last year was that he was signed for this year as well. It was a sign that they were just getting started. But Berríos has been getting knocked around so far. Many felt he would be a Cy Young contender this year, but he is not pitching like a top-of-the-rotation arm right now.

Orioles: Trey Mancini (1 HR, .278 AVG.)
The Orioles resisted every temptation to trade their fans’ beloved Mancini, who has overcome so much just to get back to where he is now. But they might not be able to trade him right now if they wanted to, since much of his power appears to have dissipated at this point.

Rays: Randy Arozarena (1 HR, .223 AVG.)
Arozarena, an explosive Rookie of the Year winner last season, is now 27 and thus technically should be entering the prime of his career. But he’s off to a rather quiet start, with only one homer and a plummeting walk rate. This is supposed to be his high time, but so far, it hasn’t been.

Red Sox: Trevor Story (1 HR, .206 AVG.)
This one was … not a difficult choice. Story hasn’t really gotten out of the starting gate, and with the Red Sox currently in last place, it’s only a matter of time until grumpy fans start whispering the words “Jack Clark” to themselves when Story comes up to bat.

Yankees: Joey Gallo (.187 AVG., 3 HR)
Gallo felt like such a perfect temperamental fit with the Yankees, and that right-field porch, that you imagined him being a fixture of that lineup for years to come. (At least against right-handers.) But he has struggled so far, and those strikeouts keep on piling up.

CENTRAL

Guardians: Shane Bieber (4.13 ERA)
Look, he has had injury issues, and it’s not like he’s been that bad. (You could go with Franmil Reyes here, if you wanted.) But if the Guardians are going to have any hope this year, they need Bieber to be Bieber. And he has very much not been Bieber.

Royals: Salvador Perez (.198/.239/.396 slash line)
Perez still has his leadership and defensive value, but he’s supposed to be the monster in the middle of this order. Right now, he looks like a player who has caught too many games and is already starting to wear down. Is he falling back to normal after a couple of ascendant seasons?

Tigers: Jonathan Schoop (.152/.195/.232 slash line)
We’ll leave Spencer Torkelson and Akil Baddoo alone for now: They’re young, after all. But what’s Schoop’s excuse? One of the team’s more consistent hitters the last couple of years has fallen far short of his offensive potential so far in 2022.

Twins: Carlos Correa (2 HR, .255 AVG.)
He has started to come around a bit lately, but considering the way his contract is structured, he doesn’t have that much time to round into form. The way it’s going right now … he might just stay in Minnesota next season yet.

White Sox: Yasmani Grandal (.169 AVG., 1 HR)
You expected someone like Grandal to have a low average but a decent on-base percentage because he walks so much. But you also think there has to be some power coming. So far this season, there has been hardly any: He has three extra-base hits in 106 plate appearances.

WEST

Angels: Shohei Ohtani (hitter version) (.317 OBP, six homers)
This is asking too much of Ohtani who, after all, has essentially been an average hitter in this current offensive environment. But Ohtani isn’t here to be average. He’s Ohtani! This Angels lineup has been fantastic so far. Imagine what happens when he really gets going.

Astros: Yuli Gurriel (.198 AVG., 0 HR)
Is this the year age finally catches up with Yuli? He’s 37 and has done next to nothing with the bat so far. Some advanced stats think he’s hitting into some bad luck. We will soon find out.

Athletics: Cristian Pache (.172/.196/.263 slash line)
Pache has always been considered a defensive stalwart, but the bat has never quite come around. However, it’s never been this bad. He was acquired in the Matt Olson trade, so the pressure’s on for him to be a big piece for the A’s.

Mariners: Jarred Kelenic (.140/.219/.291 slash line)
You can forgive Mariners fans for feeling like they were supposed to have been through this part already with Kelenic. He recovered from his early struggles last year. When will he recover from these?

Rangers: Marcus Semien (.165/.228/.217 slash line)
Here is your reminder that Semien -- who will turn 32 in September -- finished in the top three of two of the last three American League MVP votings … and is signed through 2028.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

EAST

Braves: Charlie Morton (5.65 ERA)
He was a little better in his last start, but the Braves still need him to be a linchpin of this staff … no matter how old he’s getting.

Marlins: Jorge Soler (.178/.271/.347 slash line)
Want a warning for the potential perils of falling in love with a guy’s postseason performance? Soler was a star last October for the Braves, but he -- like most of the Marlins’ roster right now -- is having trouble putting the bat on the ball.

Mets: Adam Ottavino (5.91 ERA)
It’s a sign of how good the vibes are with the Mets right now that their most disappointing player is a middle reliever who has only thrown 10 2/3 innings.

Nationals: Nelson Cruz (.174/.266/.284 slash line)
Part of the Nationals’ calculus in signing Cruz was surely to flip him to a contender at the Trade Deadline if they were out of contention. Right now, he hasn’t built up a whole lot of trade value.

Phillies: Rhys Hoskins (.222 AVG., 5 HR)
Of all the boppers in this lineup, Hoskins is the one who has had the most trouble getting going, though he almost seems like a defensive stalwart compared to the Phillies’ currently Bryce Harper-less outfield.

CENTRAL

Brewers: Brandon Woodruff (5.97 ERA)
Woodruff’s peripherals look a ton better than his ERA, so you should probably expect him to rebound quickly. And that’s all the Brewers need, another pitcher mowing everybody down.

Cardinals: Tyler O’Neill (.198 AVG., 2 HR)
O’Neill won his second Gold Glove last year and was a stealth MVP candidate heading into this season. But he’s striking out too much and having trouble making hard contact, which, considering his physique, seems hard to believe.

Cubs: Nick Madrigal (.203/.250/.241 slash line)
Madrigal felt like the perfect fit on the North Side, the sort of guy who would torment the White Sox for trading him for years. But he’s not hitting the ball with any authority so far, and true to form, he’s not walking either.

Pirates: Mitch Keller (0-4, 6.11 ERA)
There was all sorts of talk in the offseason that Keller, a one-time top prospect, had figured something out, that this would be his breakout year. That breakout has not yet happened.

Reds: Joey Votto (.122 AVG., 0 HR)
Out of a team full of disappointments, it’s, sadly, Votto who has fallen the farthest. He’ll turn it around, though. He’s Joey Votto … right?

WEST

D-backs: Carson Kelly (.105/.150/.123 slash line) 
Kelly once looked like an All-Star candidate. He now looks like one of the worst hitters in the league. But Kelly is on the IL right now, and hopefully the time off the field will help him bounce back when he returns.

Dodgers: Justin Turner (.194/.252/.291 slash line)
It’s nice to be the Dodgers and to be able to absorb a franchise linchpin being this unproductive to start the season … but it is still bizarre to see Turner struggling like this.

Giants: Joey Bart (.167 AVG.)
He’s walking and homering enough to keep himself useful, but Bart isn’t making anyone forget Buster Posey.

Padres: Trent Grisham (.144/.264/.231 slash line)
Grisham once looked like an absolute steal from the Brewers. Now, the Padres probably just wish they had Eric Lauer back.

Rockies: Germán Márquez (0-3. 6.47 ERA)
For years, the Rockies have avoided trading Márquez to a team with a friendlier pitching environment. The way he’s going right now, you have to wonder if they missed their window.
