Matthew Stafford Wants More Guaranteed Money

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford wants more guaranteed money in his deal and wouldn't mind a raise, either, as he looks to tweak his contract.

Roughly only a year removed from beginning his 2023 season at the High-A level, Washington Nationals top prospect James Wood was knocking on the door of his big-league call-up.

New York Yankees right-hander Cody Poteet (triceps) is dealing with a right-triceps strain and will be shut down from throwing for one to two weeks.

Justin Thomas Looking To Bounce Back At Travelers Championship

It was a typical putting week for Justin Thomas at Pinehurst No. 2 -- it was bad. But the more than six shots he lost over the first two rounds were anything but typical. In fact, it was the first time JT has lost an average of over one stroke with his irons at a […]

The New York Yankees transferred right-hander Clarke Schmidt (lat) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured before Tuesday's game.

Sam Burns A Flighty Pick For Travelers Championship

The finishes have been solid for Sam Burns in his last three events (T9, T15, T10), but the road to get there has been bumpy.

Fantasy Baseball Frauds? Buy/Sell On Standout Performers Including Nick Gonzales, Carlos Santana

Trying to determine what to do about a hitter who is on a heater when it comes to fantasy baseball can be tricky.
