Jordan Romano Has Surgery On His Right Elbow

Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano (elbow) underwent arthroscopic surgery on Wednesday to fix an impingement in his right elbow, according to manager John Schneider.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer is serving as the designated hitter and is batting leadoff on Wednesday versus the visiting Houston Astros and right-hander Ronel Blanco. A rough start to the season got Springer dropped near the bottom of Toronto's batting order in May, but a recent offensive resurgence has allowed the 34-year-old to […]

Should I Draft Jonathon Brooks, Blake Corum, Trey Benson for Fantasy Football? RB Outlooks for 2024

The 2024 NFL Draft class wasn't loaded with running back talent, but Jonathon Brooks, Blake Corum, and Trey Benson were the first three ball carriers off the board, and they each have intriguing fantasy football upside. Workhorse running backs are close to becoming extinct, but Brooks, Corum, and Benson have workhorse size and adequate speed […]

St. Louis Cardinals infield prospect Thomas Saggese posted his second consecutive multi-hit performance on Tuesday evening, where he went 4-for-5 with three singles and a home run.

Chase Dollander Strikes Out 10 On Tuesday

Colorado Rockies starting pitching prospect Chase Dollander struck out double-digit batters for the fourth time this season on Tuesday. This time, he tallied 10 punchouts across five shutout frames.

When Is Shane Baz Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 15 Update)

It has been a long road to recovery for Tampa Bay Rays' prospect Shane Baz. He last pitched in the big leagues on July 10, 2022, after undergoing season-ending Tommy John surgery in September of that year. That elbow injury also caused him to miss the entire 2023 campaign. Baz was then making good progress this […]

Justin Sterner Rejoins Major-League Roster

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Justin Sterner is set to rejoin the major league roster to fill in the empty roster spot that was left by pitcher Aaron Civale, who was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers.

Shane Baz Claims Rotation Spot

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane Baz has claimed the fifth spot in the Tampa starting rotation after Aaron Civale was traded to Milwaukee, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.

Kwity Paye Aiming For Double-Digit Sacks

Indianapolis Colts defensive end Kwity Paye has not been an ultra-productive sack artist since entering the league as the No. 21 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Michigan, but his goal is to reach at least double-digit sacks in 2024. "I had (4.0) sacks as a rookie, (6.0) as a sophomore, and […]

Daniel Jones Likely In Make-Or-Break Year

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has not lived up to his status as the No. 6 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Although he has a playoff win under his belt from the 2022 campaign, the rest of his career has been underwhelming. The Duke alum has thrown for 12,512 yards, 62 touchdowns, […]

Brandon Aiyuk, 49ers Still Not Close On Agreement

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk reportedly had a great meeting with the organization last week and said he wants to remain with the team, but NFL insider Mike Garafolo said the two sides are "no closer to a deal" following their in-person talks. The wide receiver market is blowing up this offseason, as […]

Trey McBride Thinks 1,000-Yard Season Is "Realistic"

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride is one of the most promising young players at the position in the NFL, and after catching 81 passes for 825 yards and four touchdowns in 2023, he is aiming for an even better season in 2024. One of McBride's personal goals for his third NFL campaign is to […]

Xavier Legette Looking Healthy

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (hamstring) sat out offseason workouts last month due to hamstring issues, but the rookie first-round pick looks healthy in an Instagram video showing him working out. While this is not clear evidence that he's cleared and ready to go when training camp begins, it's a great sign for his […]

Eric Cole Looks To Keep Momentum At John Deere

Eric Cole had missed four of his last six cuts heading to Detroit last week when he finally broke through to place T6 while gaining strokes in all areas of his game. 2024 looked like a breakthrough season for the 36-year-old, as he came out with six top-21 finishes through his first nine events, but […]

Predicting All First-Time 1,000-Yard Rushers in 2024 - NFL Fantasy Football Outlook

There are plenty of factors that contribute to running backs topping the 1,000-yard rushing mark in a season. Staying healthy is definitely one of them. Of the 12 backs who rushed for over 1,000 yards in 2023, eight of them played at least 16 games. Kyren Williams (12 games), James Conner (13 games), David Montgomery […]

Aidan O'Connell Lauded As Leader

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell was unexpectedly moved into the starting role last season after veterans Jimmy Garoppolo and Brian Hoyer flamed out and head coach Josh McDaniels was fired. The Purdue product completed 62.1% of his passes for 2,218 yards, 12 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He played well enough to contend to be […]

Will the Cowboys Trade Dak Prescott After the 2024 NFL Season? Fantasy Football Trade Rumors

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott put up MVP-caliber numbers in 2023, but he choked in the Wild Card round, ensuring the Cowboys suffered yet another early playoff exit. Heading into the 2024 season, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says they are "all-in." But what will come after 2024? Prescott's contract expires at the end of the […]

J.T. Poston Returns To TPC Deere Run

J.T. Poston has been inconsistent on the PGA Tour this year, but he'll surely be welcoming the return of the John Deere Classic this week, as he won the event in 2021 before placing T6 last season. The scorer-friendly track seems to cure what issues Poston has with his driver each year, and his putting […]

Victor Caratini Starts Running And Throwing

Houston Astros catcher Victor Caratini (hip) started running and throwing while rehabbing in Houston, manager Joe Espada said on Sunday. Caratini is set to join the team during its series in Minnesota on July 5-7, when he'll continue his rehab, a step that could include batting practice on the field. The veteran backstop suffered a […]

Jake Bloss Could Be An Option To Start Soon

Houston Astros rookie right-hander Jake Bloss (shoulder) could be an option to start for the team during their homestand that begins on July 9, according to manager Joe Espada.

Breaking $100 - Free PGA Betting Picks - Golf Best Bets for the 2024 John Deere Classic.

Personally, I am VERY excited for the John Deere Classic as I played TPC Deere Run two years in a row for NAIA Conference Championships, with the only difference in conditions being roughly 70 degrees.

Red-Hot Aaron Rai Makes John Deere Debut

The Washington Nationals requested unconditional release waivers on outfielder Eddie Rosario on Wednesday after designating him for assignment earlier this week to make room on the active MLB roster for top prospect James Wood.

AJ Smith-Shawver Starting Rehab Assignment On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves top prospect AJ Smith-Shawver (oblique) will start his minor-league rehab assignment with High-A Rome on Wednesday. It will be Smith-Shawver's first game action since he was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left-oblique strain back in late May. The 21-year-old right-hander made his major-league debut last year and allowed 14 runs (12 earned) on […]

Reynaldo Lopez To Go On Regular Rest This Weekend

Atlanta Braves right-hander Reynaldo Lopez will not get an extra day before his next start and will go on regular rest in Sunday's series finale against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies.
