X-Rays Come Back Negative For Kevin Ginkel

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Kevin Ginkel (knee) underwent x-rays on Saturday, which came back negative. Ginkel is considered day-to-day. The 30-year-old was diagnosed with a left knee contusion after being hit in the left leg with a comebacker during Saturday's game against the New York Mets. He picked up the win after throwing a scoreless inning […]

Oscar Colas Called Up Saturday, Andrew Benintendi Likely IL Bound

Chicago White Sox outfielder Oscar Colas was called up to the big league roster on Saturday. Andrew Benintendi (Achilles) is expected to be placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old is slashing .244/.358/.406 with five home runs, 21 RBI, 25 runs, and six stolen bases over 46 games for Triple-Charlotte last […]

Daniel Suárez's Race Speed Deficit and Poor Qualifying Don't Bode Well for Gateway

Although his win at Atlanta locked him into the playoffs, Daniel Suárez's season has rapidly unraveled since then as he had a streak of ten races with below-average speed from Phoenix to Darlington, but he finally had above average speed again in last week's Coca-Cola 600 for the first time since Las Vegas. While that […]

Lack of Speed and Stewart-Haas Racing Closure Will Likely Doom Ryan Preece at Gateway

Ryan Preece qualified 32nd for this weekend's Gateway race but all signs point toward him having an extremely mediocre run on Sunday. All four Stewart-Haas cars qualified badly, most likely because it was announced that the team is going out of business, and while Preece's teammates haven't had a large difference in performance this year, […]

Ranger Suarez Exits Early After Being Hit With Comebacker

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez (hand) was removed from Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals after being struck in the left hand by a comebacker.

Corey LaJoie Looks to Redeem Himself After Last Year's Gateway Disappointment

Corey LaJoie qualified 15th at Gateway, earning his best oval start this year. He's perhaps eager to prove himself here because his underachievement in the No. 9 Hendrick car in last year's race caused many fans who previously considered him one of the best underdogs in the NASCAR Cup Series to believe that he's always […]

Carson Hocevar Seeks to Fulfill the Promise of Last Year's Auspicious Gateway Debut

Carson Hocevar made his NASCAR Cup Series debut at Gateway last year and attracted a lot of attention when he outran his current teammate Corey LaJoie when LaJoie was substituting for Chase Elliott in his No. 9 Chevrolet after his suspension, while Hocevar drove LaJoie's usual No. 7 Spire Motorsports car. Although Hocevar crashed in […]

Ross Chastain Has Gained Consistency, but Probably Not Fast Enough to Win at Gateway

Ross Chastain qualified 16th for this weekend's Enjoy Illinois 300 at Gateway. While Chastain has neither led a lap at the track nor finished better than 8th, he did win a Craftsman Truck Series race here in 2019 and the track's egg shape greatly resembles Darlington Raceway, where he has usually done well. Chastain has […]

Chase Briscoe Should Struggle at Gateway After Being Distracted by Team's Shutdown Announcement

Although Chase Briscoe won the pole for the inaugural NASCAR Cup Series race at Gateway and led the first 27 laps, it's unlikely that Briscoe will seriously contend in this weekend's Enjoy Illinois 300. In last year's event, he was a complete nonfactor as he started 25th and finished 34th. This weekend he qualified 23rd. […]

Josh Berry Unlikely to Contend at Gateway

After earning his best two finishes of the NASCAR Cup Series season in back-to-back weeks, Josh Berry makes his first start in the Cup Series at Gateway this weekend. He competed in one previous Gateway race in the Craftsman Truck Series in 2021 where he qualified 14th and finished 15th for Rackley W.A.R., roughly commensurate […]

Vikings "Pretty Motivated" To Get Justin Jefferson Deal Finished

According to NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, speaking on ESPN's SportsCenter on Saturday morning, the Minnesota Vikings are "pretty motivated" to get a deal finalized with wide receiver Justin Jefferson. The 24-year-old has been a menace for opposing defenses since entering the league, amassing 392 catches for 5,899 yards and 30 touchdowns. Understandably, he wants a […]

Joe Burrow Looking "Great" At OTAs

According to Chris Roling of USA Today, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) looked "great" on "most of his throws" during the team's recent OTAs. The signal-caller, who suffered a season-ending wrist injury in a game against the Ravens in mid-November, also "added muscle to his frame." Without question, injuries have been Burrow's biggest issue […]

Nicolas Claxton Expected To Re-Sign With Brooklyn

According to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, executives around the National Basketball Association believe Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton will re-sign with the team. The 25-year-old has progressed substantially since entering the league in 2019, most recently finishing the 2023-24 campaign by averaging 11.8 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks. As a result, […]

Kristaps Porzingis Could Be Ready For Game 1

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (calf) has been practicing. Not only that, but according to head coach Joe Mazzulla, the veteran did "everything the team did" during Saturday's session. It's certainly a good sign ahead of Thursday's NBA Finals opener versus the Dallas Mavericks. Porzingis appeared in four postseason contests before going down with a […]

Yordan Alvarez Smashes Two Bombs On Saturday

Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez smashed two home runs off of Minnesota Twins starter Joe Ryan on Saturday during the Astros' 5-2 win over the Twins.

Clayton Kershaw Throws Live Batting Practice On Saturday

Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) faced hitters at Dodger Stadium on Saturday afternoon during a live batting practice. This marked the first time during Kershaw's rehab that he has faced hitters. The lefty said he felt great and would likely throw two innings during his next time out in about five or six days. Kershaw is likely […]

Kevin Ginkel Exits Early After Being Hit By Comebacker

Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Kevin Ginkel exited Saturday's game against the New York Mets early after being hit in the knee by a comebacker off the bat of Brandon Nimmo. Ginkel was able to walk it off but had a noticeable limp. The team should be releasing more information on Ginkel's status later on Saturday, but […]

Thairo Estrada Out Of Lineup On Saturday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Thairo Estrada is out of the lineup on Saturday night for the Giants' tilt against the New York Yankees. Brett Wisely will start in his place. This appears to be a mix of a rest day for Estrada while also getting Wisely, a lefty, in a nice platoon matchup against […]

Jacob Young Removed Early From Saturday's Game With Undisclosed Injury

Washington Nationals outfielder Jacob Young was removed during the 7th inning of the Nationals' 3-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians. The team has not specified why Young was removed from the game but more should be released later. The 24-year-old was visited by team trainer Paul Lessard in the 7th and was replaced by Joey […]

Denny Hamlin the Favorite to Win at Gateway

In what shouldn't be a surprise to many people, Denny Hamlin is the favorite to win the Enjoy Illinois 300 at Gateway this weekend. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has been elite on the shorter tracks this season, picking up wins at Bristol, Richmond, and Dover, while finishing second at North Wilkesboro and leading the […]

Joey Logano a Core DFS Play at Gateway

Joey Logano should be one of the best value picks on the NASCAR DFS slate this weekend. The Team Penske driver had one of, if not the best cars in practice on Saturday morning but then went out and qualified 12th later that day. That means Logano has solid Place Differential potential while also having […]

Kyle Larson Surprisingly Slow at Gateway

Coming into the Enjoy Illinois 300 race weekend, many analysts thought that Kyle Larson would have one of the cars to beat, but that doesn't really seem to be the case. The No. 5 Chevrolet was just 24th-fastest on the speed chart during practice on Saturday morning and Larson ended up qualifying 13th for this […]

Tyler Reddick Should Contend at Gateway

Don't be surprised if Tyler Reddick is a factor for the win in this weekend's Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway (otherwise known as Gateway). Reddick had one of the best cars at Phoenix earlier this season, which is a similar track type to Gateway. With that being said, Reddick hasn't had great […]

Garrett Mitchell Participates In Full Batting Practice

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (finger) has recently participated in full batting practice and will start taking live at-bats soon. Mitchell suffered a fracture to his left index finger earlier in the spring and has been sidelined ever since. However, he has yet to face any setbacks and is nearing the end of his recovery […]

Martin Truex Jr Must Overcome Poor Qualifying Effort at Gateway

Martin Truex Jr is one of the top drivers when it comes to short, flat tracks, but he's going to have some work to do this weekend at Gateway if he's going to end up at or near the front when the checkered flag waves. Truex qualified back in 19th for this weekend's Enjoy Illinois […]

Bubba Wallace Has Potential at Gateway Despite Poor Track Record

When you look at Bubba Wallace's track record at Gateway, there's not much to like. He finished 30th here last season, which followed up a 26th-place effort in the first Cup Series race here back in 2022. However, Bubba hasn't been as bad as the numbers say. In last year's race, the No. 23 Toyota […]
