Luis Perales To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Luis Perales (elbow) is scheduled to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery. The right-hander was removed from his start in early June due to right elbow inflammation. Perales underwent further testing which revealed he needed to undergo surgery. This is a shame considering the 21-year-old is one of the top pitching […]

Browns Have Plenty Of Questions In Wide Receiver Room

The Athletic's Zac Jackson writes that he has significant questions about the Cleveland Browns' receiving corps this year. WR1 Amari Cooper missed the whole offseason program because he's seeking a new contract, and new wideout Jerry Jeudy missed the last three weeks with a minor undisclosed injury. The Browns still have Cooper and tight end […]

Bengals Offense Focusing On Versatility, Unpredictability

The Cincinnati Bengals' schematic expansion under new offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher was on display through the offseason program, and the shift to versatility and unpredictable usage was a recurring theme for every position group.

Corbin Carroll Expected To Play On Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (ribs) is expected to return to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. D-Backs manager Torey Lovullo said Carroll is penciled into the lineup, so it sounds like it was a minor issue. Carroll underwent an MRI on his side, which came back clean without any structural […]

Kyle Manzardo Optioned To Triple-A

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Kyle Manzardo has been optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday. The 23-year-old will head back to the minors after struggling during his first stint with the big league club. Manzardo slashed .207/.241/.329 with zero home runs and seven RBI in 30 games. In a corresponding move, third baseman Jose Ramirez has […]

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander (neck) is uncertain to make his next scheduled start on Thursday versus the Chicago White Sox. The veteran right-hander has been making slower progress than expected, according to Astros manager Joe Espada. Verlander was scratched from Saturday's start against the Detroit Tigers due to discomfort in his neck. The […]

Falcons Offense To Run Through Bijan Robinson

The Atlanta Falcons' new offense under head coach Raheem Morris and offensive coordinator Zac Robinson will clearly run through second-year running back Bijan Robinson. "In as simple of a form as you can possibly make it," Morris said, "it's 'get the ball to Bijan as much as you can in as many ideal situations that […]

Kirk Cousins Confident He'll Be Full-Go For Training Camp

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins (Achilles) is returning from a torn Achilles tendon suffered in Week 8 of the 2023 season with the Minnesota Vikings, but he has expressed confidence he'll be full-go by training camp at the end of July since his arrival in Atlanta in March.

Tom Kim Striking The Ball Well Ahead Of Travelers

Tom Kim's ball-striking and recent form will likely land him squarely on the radar of fantasy managers this week. The 21-year-old rising star increased his consecutive cuts made streak to nine after his T26 performance at the US Open, which was also his fourth finish inside of the top-26 in his last five starts. In […]

Ludvig Aberg Seeks Second Tour Victory At Travelers

Ludvig Aberg has quickly become a household name in his first PGA Tour season. The 24-year-old Swede has impressively finished inside of the top-15 in 12 of his 17 starts as a rookie, including two runner-up results and an outright victory at the RSM Classic back in November. Aberg unsurprisingly should be a solid course […]

Tommy Fleetwood Lacks Upside At TPC River Highlands

There's no doubting the fact that Tommy Fleetwood has been a model of consistency lately. The 33-year-old Brit has only missed one cut in his fifteen starts in the 2024 calendar year, and he hasn't finished outside of the top-26 in five consecutive starts. But Fleetwood isn't a prolific birdie-maker and has more of a […]

Russell Henley An Intriguing Option At Travelers

The $8,000 salary range on DraftKings is loaded with high-upside options for the Travelers Championship, but Russell Henley appears to stand out as the giraffe in a herd of zebras this week. The 33-year-old OWGR No. 16 is coming off of an impressive T7 performance at the challenging US Open last week, marking his fifth […]

Ty France Back From The Injured List

Seattle Mariners executive vice president and general manager of baseball operations Justin Hollander announced on Tuesday that the team reinstated infielder Ty France (heel) from the 10-day injured list and designated catcher Seby Zavala for assignment in a corresponding move.

Be Wary Of Shane Lowry At Travelers Championship

Shane Lowry has found himself contending quite often in the 2024 calendar year. The 37-year-old Irish star has posted four finishes inside of the top-6 in just fifteen starts this calendar year, including his third PGA Tour victory at the Zurich Classic match play event. Equally as impressive, he only missed the cut and lost […]

Yoniel Curet Has Two Straight Strong Outings

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitching prospect Yoniel Curet has had a rough time pitching at High-A but may have begun to settle in at this level. After allowing seven earned runs on June 5, Curet has now posted two consecutive shutout performances. On June 11, he turned in his best start of the young season […]

Michael Wacha Tosses Four Scoreless Innings In Rehab Start

Kansas City Royals right-hander Michael Wacha (foot) looked good in his first minor-league rehab start in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Monday, tossing four scoreless innings while giving up two hits and no walks with six strikeouts. Given Wacha's strong performance, it seems likely that the Royals will now clear him to return from […]

Cutter Coffey Riding Six-Game Home Run Streak

Boston Red Sox infield prospect Cutter Coffey is riding an eye-catching six-game home run streak. In this incredible stretch, he has posted four multi-hit games with a three-hit performance on June 9 and a 1.375 SLG. The young infielder has gotten off to a slow start to the season, holding a .224 AVG in April […]

Si Woo Kim Still Trying To Putt Consistently

Si Woo Kim is an incredibly talented golfer. The South Korean is still only 28. Despite only one Top 10 in 2024, it feels like Kim has been in contention several times this year. He ranks 160th in strokes gained to putting (-0.450). His birdie conversion percentage of 30.68 is 97th or right around tour […]

Blue Jays Sign James Kaprielian To Minors Deal

All four of his big-league seasons have been with the Oakland Athletics, though, going 15-20 with a 4.61 ERA (4.67 FIP) and 1.35 WHIP […]

Ji Hwan Bae Getting Close To A Rehab Assignment

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Ji Hwan Bae (wrist) took part in live batting practice at PNC Park on Monday and worked defensively every day during the team's last road trip.
