Ramon Laureano Placed On Injured List

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ramon Laureano (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. The veteran outfielder has been dealing with a lingering oblique issue for multiple weeks.

Max Scherzer Not Planning On Waiving His No-Trade Clause

When asked if he'd be willing to waive his no-trade clause again at this year's trade deadline, Texas Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer said, "Yeah, I'm not gonna do that...we're gonna play better baseball. It's gonna be a moot point t even talk abut...we're gonna win here." Scherzer has waived his no-trade clause to facilitate a […]

Giancarlo Stanton Could Skip A Rehab Assignment

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) could be ready to return from the 10-day injured list shortly after next week's All-Star break and may return without going on a minor-league rehab assignment, according to manager Aaron Boone. Apparently Stanton has been recovering nicely from a left-hamstring strain that landed him on the IL […]

Boston Red Sox middle infielder David Hamilton and outfielder Wilyer Abreu, who both hit from the left side, will take a seat on Wednesday against the visiting Oakland Athletics with left-hander JP Sears on the mound.

Zack Wheeler Avoids Structural Damage, Next Start Up In The Air

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler (back) is still sore after leaving his start early on Tuesday against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers with lower-back tightness, but an MRI exam on Wednesday showed no structural damage. "We're going to be very cautious with him," manager Rob Thomson said. When asked if Wheeler will make his next […]

Viktor Hovland Multiple Chips Off The Old Block

Viktor Hovland ranks 148th in this field in strokes gained around the green. He has gained in that area only once in his 11 starts with his worst performance coming at the US Open where he lost nearly 4 strokes chipping in two rounds before missing the cut by a stroke. The rest of his […]

Bryce Harper Out With Bruised Hand On Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper (hand) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday in another showdown against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers after he bruised his right hand on a ball hit by Freddie Freeman in Tuesday night's 10-1 win.

Byeong Hun An Seeking First PGA Tour Win At Scottish Open

Byeong Hun An has had four top-five finishes this year, which is 25% of his 16 starts so far. An also has a T3 in his only appearance at the Scottish Open, which makes for a convergence of form and course history in North Berwick that could see the talented, long-hitting Korean find his first […]

Si Woo Kim Looking To Contend At Scottish Open

Si Woo Kim has been a model of consistency for fantasy managers in recent months. The 29-year-old Korean star has only missed one cut in the 2024 calendar year, a string of golf that includes 18 events and 10 finishes inside of the top-25. Perhaps more impressive, he's only lost strokes ball-striking once this year. […]

Corey Conners In Top Form Heading To The Renaissance Club

Fantasy managers will have a hard time finding a golfer in better form than Corey Conners. Dating back to May, the 32-year-old Canadian has finished inside of the top-30 in all six of his starts, including a sixth-place result at the RBC Canadian Open and a T9 at the U.S. Open, while gaining close to […]

Matt McLain On Track To Start Rehab Assignment On Aug. 12

Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said that middle infielder Matt McLain (shoulder) has started swinging and is on track to start a minor-league rehab assignment on Aug. 12.

Jonathan India Returns For Reds

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the visiting Colorado Rockies and left-hander Kyle Freeland, serving as the designated hitter and batting leadoff. India will return to action after he was scratched from Tuesday's lineup with a left-knee contusion. It obviously wasn't a very serious injury […]

Mackenzie Hughes Needs The Scottish Winds To Blow

Mackenzie Hughes has not had a top-20 finish this year that saw his score get lower than -10. With winds projected to remain low this week, scores could get lower, blowing away any chance Hughes has of contending at this kind of venue given his lack luster ball striking that ranks 108th in this field. […]

MarShawn Lloyd Brings "Different Element" To Packers Backfield

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd was selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft despite not having an impressive resume of production. In two seasons at South Carolina and one year at Southern California, he posted 1,234 rushing yards, 299 receiving yards, and 15 total touchdowns. However, his 17.8 yards per […]

Dodgers Option Bobby Miller

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Wednesday that they optioned right-hander Bobby Miller to the minors. It's been a rough season for Miller in 2024, and the Dodgers had seen enough after he surrendered nine earned runs in four innings of work in a beatdown at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. The […]

Aaron Rai Has Found His Putter

Aaron Rai has strung together four consecutive top-20 finishes, including a T19 at the US Open, which ties his best finish in a major. Rai has been working with putting coach John Graham and has gained plus-16.59 strokes putting in his last 12 rounds. A notable issue with Rai is his Round 4 putting splits, […]

AJ Dillon Appears Slimmer, More Explosive

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon was once viewed as a future breakout star in fantasy football, but his disastrous 2023 campaign and the addition of rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd have his value at an all-time low. The Boston College product rushed 178 times for 613 yards and two touchdowns last year, and […]

Jose Caballero Getting A Day Off

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Jose Caballero is not in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday against the visiting division-rival New York Yankees. With Caballero retreating to the bench for a day off, Richie Palacios will draw into the lineup at second base and will hit sixth against Yankees right-hander Marcus Stroman. The speedy Caballero […]

Nicolai Hojgaard Looking To Break Poor Form Back In Europe

Nicolai Hojgaard, the DP World Tour Championship winner in 2023, who also had an additional six top-five finishes that year, has been struggling to match that level of success on the PGA Tour, with his only top-five finish coming in his first PGA start of the year at the Famers Insurance Open. A T16 at […]

Josh Jacobs Looking To Be More Involved As A Receiver

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has hauled in 197 receptions since entering the NFL in 2019, and heading into his first year with Matt LaFleur, he wants to be heavily targeted in the passing game. "I was talking to (LaFleur) about that actually and I was telling him I feel like I want […]

Matt Fitzpatrick A Volatile Option

Matt Fitzpatrick has not finished better than T36 in four of his last five starts. The outlier was a T5 at the Memorial three starts ago, where he gained six strokes putting while also gaining strokes around the green, on approach, and off the tee. That performance has been an outlier recently, and despite being […]

Alex Verdugo Hitting Leadoff, Ben Rice Moved To Cleanup

The New York Yankees are shuffling their batting order a bit for Wednesday's contest against the hosting Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Zach Eflin. Outfielder Alex Verdugo will take over the leadoff spot, while rookie first baseman/catcher Ben Rice drops from leadoff to the cleanup spot behind slugger Aaron Judge. Rice has held his own […]

Jermaine Burton Working On Slot Skills

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton joins one of the best wide receiver groups in the NFL, and although it'll be tough to command targets, the 2024 third-round pick could see a healthy snap share in the slot. The Alabama product is reportedly working with former NFL wideout T.J. Houshmandzadeh in slot drills during his […]

Dominic Canzone Goes On Injured List, M's Recall Jonatan Clase

The Seattle Mariners placed outfielder Dominic Canzone (groin) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a right-groin strain and recalled outfield prospect Jonatan Clase from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Jordan Spieth A Risky Play Despite Links History

Jordan Spieth has finished T23 or better in his last six Open Championships. He also finished T10 in the 2022 edition of the Scottish Open but missed the cut in his 2023 campaign. Since the Masters Spieth has not finished better than a T26 at the John Deere which was one of the weakest fields […]

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Takes First-Team Reps This Spring

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. was selected in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and any Day 3 pick is far from guaranteed to have a role in Year 1. However, the former wide receiver joined one of the weakest running back rooms in the NFL, meaning he has a […]
