St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Pham dramatically returned to St. Louis Tuesday night by hitting a pinch-hit grand slam in an 8-1 victory over the Texas Rangers. The slam came off Cody Bradford, who had gone into the game early to relieve Max Scherzer. It was his first game back at Busch Stadium as a […]

The New York Yankees were in on right-hander Jack Flaherty before the Detroit Tigers dealt him to the Los Angeles Dodgers at the trade deadline on Tuesday for two minor-league prospects, but according to sources briefed on discussions, the Yankees backed out of a preliminary trade for Flaherty after reviewing his medical records.

Austin Riley Collects Four Hits In Tuesday's Win

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley continued to pick things up at the plate in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Brewers. Riley went 4-for-5 with four singles and an RBI. The 27-year-old's .259/.326/.452 slash line for the season is not what fantasy managers were hoping for. However, like the entire Braves' offense, Riley has stepped […]

Jeffrey Springs Throws 76 Pitches In First Start Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs (elbow) had an overall encouraging first start of the season in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Marlins. Springs, who had been recovering from Tommy John surgery since April of last year, pitched 3 2/3 innings on 76 pitches, allowing two runs on six hits (including a two-run home […]

Christopher Morel Homers In First Game With Rays Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays utilityman Christopher Morel made his presence known immediately with his new team in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Marlins. Playing second base and batting third, Morel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run. He was also hit by a pitch. The 25-year-old roped a fourth-inning Edward Cabrera curveball into the left-center seats […]

Edwin Diaz Notches Four-Out Save Tuesday

New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz picked up his 13th save of the season in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Twins. Diaz came in to pitch the top of the eighth inning up by two with two outs and runners on first and second. He struck out Byron Buxton to end the frame and stayed […]

Yainer Diaz Excels At The Plate Tuesday With Four-Hit Performance

Houston Astros catcher Yainer Diaz excelled at the plate with a four-hit performance, including his 10th home run in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Diaz has put his hat in the ring as one of the best catchers in fantasy baseball this season with his .295 batting average and double-digit home runs. He's […]

Sean Manaea Tosses 11-Strikeout Gem Tuesday

New York Mets starting pitcher Sean Manaea hit his highest strikeout total of the season in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Twins. Manaea pitched seven innings, allowing just two hits and a walk with 11 strikeouts. The 32-year-old has had a strong season overall, going 7-4 with a 3.50 ERA, an 8.92 K/9 rate, and […]

Anthony Santander Hits 31st Homer Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander continued his career power season in Monday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jays. Santander went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run, two RBI, and a walk. The 29-year-old took Brendon Little deep in the fifth inning, hitting an opposite-field liner just off the top of the right-field padding […]

Ben Skowronek Standing Out In Camp

Houston Texans wide receiver Ben Skowronek has stood out so far in the early portions of training camp as he looks to earn a roster spot despite mostly working with the second-team offense. Skowronek is a long shot to have a substantial role in his first year in Houston if he even makes the team, […]

Corbin Burnes Fans Seven In Quality Start, Win Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Corbin Burnes continued his excellent season in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jays. Burnes pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks with seven strikeouts. He also uncharacteristically hit two batters. The 29-year-old has been pretty much everything the O's and fantasy managers had hoped […]

Jazz Chisholm Has Another Multi-Homer Performance Tuesday

New York Yankees' new third basemen Jazz Chisholm followed up Monday night's multi-homer performance with another one on Tuesday. He went 3-for-6 with a pair of home runs and five RBI in a 7-6 extra-inning victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. It's safe to say Chisholm is enjoying the pinstripes so far by hitting .400 (6-for-15) […]

Chase Claypool Misses Another Practice

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chase Claypool (toe) remained out of training camp practice on Tuesday. Claypool suffered a minor toe injury in practice on Sunday and has missed the last two days at camp as a result. The 26-year-old is considered day-to-day, so his toe injury shouldn't impact his readiness for the start of the […]

Rory McIlroy Looking To Bounce Back At Paris Olympics

Rory McIlroy let plenty of fantasy managers down two weeks ago at The Open Championship. The OWGR No. 3 carried over 25% ownership in most DraftKings contest, but he missed the cut in ugly fashion while also losing strokes ball-striking in both of his rounds. But it would be wise to forgive the Northern Ireland […]

Tommy Fleetwood A Potential Olympics Landmine

Tommy Fleetwood will likely be a popular option this week, but fantasy managers may want to consider taking a closer look at his potential range of outcomes. The 33-year-old Brit is a model of consistency and has a high floor, but his upside heading to Paris should be a concern. Fleetwood has failed to crack […]

Alex Noren An Olympic Dark Horse

Alex Noren is having a bit of an up-and-down Summer, but fantasy managers should embrace his volatility at Le Golf National this week. The 42-year-old Swede has racked up six top-25 finishes and three missed cuts in his nine events dating back to May, including a third-place result at The CJ Cup and an impressive […]

Joaquin Niemann Brings Impressive Form To Paris

Depending on your affinity for LIV Golf, Joaquin Niemann is arguably enjoying the best stretch of golf in his young career heading into the Olympics. Since the end of the 2023 LIV season, the 25-year-old Chilean star has appeared in 17 events, picking up three outright victories to go along with ten additional top-10 results, […]

Matt Fitzpatrick Out Of Form Heading To Paris

Following an impressive T5 showing at the Memorial Tournament back in early June, Matt Fitzpatrick rattled off four-straight disappointing performances. The 29-year-old Brit has lost strokes ball-striking in all of those starts, while posting middling finishes of T64, T36, T39 and a T50 at The Open Championship two weeks ago. And while he appears to […]

Hideki Matsuyama Seeking Redemption In France

Hideki Matsuyama was carrying the weight of the host nation in the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo, and he came painstakingly close to delivering a medal and an incredibly memorable moment for Japan. Unfortunately, the 32-year-old Japanese star came up just short in a seven-way playoff for the bronze medal with a short missed par put […]

Min Woo Lee A Player To Fade At Paris Olympics

Min Woo Lee is an electric golfer and always attracts the attention of fantasy managers on any given week, but he is likely to be on the outside looking in at Le Golf National this week. Aside from two PGA birdie-fests in the 2024 calendar year in the Cognizant Classic and the Rocket Mortgage Classic, […]

Martin Perez Traded To The Padres

Earlier on Tuesday, the San Diego Padres acquired veteran left-hander Martin Perez from the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to a source. It's unclear what the Padres sent the Pirates in return for Perez. The 33-year-old southpaw should immediately jump into San Diego's starting rotation as they wait to get both Joe Musgrove (elbow) and Yu Darvish […]

Devonte' Graham Heading To Portland

Free-agent guard Devonte' Graham agreed to a one-year deal with the Portland Trail Blazers. The 29-year-old was one of the league's most promising young players, averaging a career-high 18.2 points and 7.5 assists in his sophomore season. Unfortunately, his statistical contributions have declined over the years. He also appeared in only 23 games in San […]

Evan Carter Could Miss The Rest Of The Season

Texas Rangers outfielder Evan Carter (back) could miss the rest of the regular season, according to general manager Chris Young. Things have been pointing in this direction for Carter, and he was recently moved from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL, meaning that he won't be able to return until at least September. […]

Dodgers Don't Expect Freddie Freeman Back For Series Against Padres

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that he doesn't anticipate first baseman Freddie Freeman returning off the family medical emergency list during the team's two-game series in San Diego this week against the division-rival Padres that concludes on Wednesday. Fantasy managers will want to check back later in the week to see if Freeman […]

Precious Achiuwa Staying With The Knicks

Free-agent forward/center Precious Achiuwa agreed to a one-year, $6 million contract with the Knicks. New York was rumored to be searching for other options to fill the void underneath the basket. However, the team will instead bring back the 24-year-old, who averaged 12.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, and 1.1 steals in 18 starts last […]

J.J. McCarthy Will Get More First-Team Reps In Camp Eventually

Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy has taken a back seat to Sam Darnold during the opening days of training camp. Head coach Kevin O'Connell said today that McCarthy will eventually get some consistent first-team reps in camp, but that Sam Darnold had earned the right to get the bulk of them to this point. […]

Emari Demercado Firmly In The RB2 Conversation For The Cardinals

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado has firmly placed himself as a player in the training camp battle to be the team's RB2. Demercado has been subbing in for James Conner during first-team work with Michael Carter taking second-team work and 2024 third-round pick Trey Benson spelling Carter. Demercado was a regular contributor last season […]

Russell Wilson Returns To Limited Participation On Tuesday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) returned to practice on Tuesday in a limited fashion, but the Steelers are going to take things slowly with him. Head coach Mike Tomlin did state that Wilson played some 7-on-7, but "not a lot" of 11-on-11 work. While Wilson is progressing well from his calf injury, it's expected […]

Dameon Pierce, Jawhar Jordan Expected To Play Extensively In HOF Game

With the Hall of Fame game days away, Houston Texans backup running backs Dameon Pierce and Jawhar Jordan are expected to see a bulk of the carries in Thursday's game against the Chicago Bears. With Joe Mixon (hamstring) nursing an injury, it's likely Mixon's work would have been minimal, at best, even when healthy, but […]
