Jonathon Brooks Could Be Utilized Heavily In Passing Game

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks could be heavily involved in the passing game this season. According to head coach Dave Canales, the rookie running back's versatility is "probably the biggest thing that stood out" when the Panthers studied Brooks prior to last month's draft. Although he's recovering from a torn ACL, Brooks was still […]

Ray Davis Could Have Sneaky Impact As Rookie

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis "could have a sneaky-big impact" in 2024, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. The Kentucky product was selected with the 128th overall pick in last month's draft and has impressive power behind his 5-foot-8, 211-pound frame. One NFL scout told Fowler that Davis is a "great complement to [James] […]

Is Rashee Rice or Xavier Worthy the WR1 for the Chiefs?

After enjoying a solid rookie season, Rashee Rice appeared to be on his way to becoming Patrick Mahomes' leading wide receiver. However, things changed this offseason when Rice was involved in a high-speed hit-and-run car accident. News also broke this week regarding Rice allegedly assaulting a photographer at a nightclub. It’s unclear what kind of […]

Is Najee Harris or Jaylen Warren the RB1 for the Steelers?

When the Pittsburgh Steelers hired former Falcons head coach Arthur Smith as their offensive coordinator, the entire fantasy football world groaned. After frustrating managers all last season with Atlanta, Smith will now attempt to fix Pittsburgh’s scuffling offense. While many are worried about what Smith’s presence means for Pittsburgh’s pass-catchers, the rushing game is sure […]

Rayner Arias Dealing With Wrist Sprain

San Francisco Giants outfielder Rayner Arias (wrist) is dealing with a left-wrist sprain after diving for a ball in the outfield recently while playing for the team's rookie-ball affiliate in the Arizona Complex League.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jakob Junis (head, shoulder) was moved to the 60-day injured list on Monday, meaning he won't be eligible to come back until June 2 now, at the earliest.

Keegan Bradley Looking To Find Putting Confidence At Quail Hollow

If the game of golf was only from tee to green, Keegan Bradley would be a rockstar in 2024. He's gained over 11 shots on the field on approach over his last two starts and is currently 37th on the season in strokes gained on approach (0.407). The bad part is we have to keep […]

Devontez Walker Could Be No. 4 Receiver

There's little ambiguity as the who the Baltimore Ravens' top three wide receivers are entering the 2024 season -- Zay Flowers at No. 1, Rashod Bateman at No. 2, and Nelson Agholor at No. 3. Devontez Walker, the speedy fourth-round rookie with big-play ability, will be in position to earn notable snaps this summer, and […]

Josh Johnson Is The Ravens' Backup Quarterback

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh reiterated after the NFL draft that quarterback Josh Johnson is his No. 2 quarterback right now behind starter Lamar Jackson.

Joe Burrow Cleared For Everything But Contact

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) threw in front of the media on Tuesday for the first time since injuring his right wrist last November. Burrow has been throwing for more than a month at the tail end of his expected six-month recovery process. Still, he expects this to take time to get all the […]

Billy Horschel A Volatile Option At Wells Fargo

It has been a feast or famine year for Billy Horschel, with his recent victory at the Corales Puntacana Championship bookended by missed cuts. Many of his poor performances this season can be attributed to poor iron play, though he's still ranked in a respectable 70th spot in strokes gained on approach (0.145). His work […]

Taylor Moore Attempts To Rebound At Charlotte

Taylor Moore appeared to be playing well. The American golfer barely finished inside the Top 60 at the RBC Heritage. That included a rough weekend culminating in a final round 74. After missing the cut at the Zurich Open, Moore may have an opportunity to rebound at the Wells Fargo Championship. The last time Moore […]

No Timetable For Rehab Assignment For Freddy Tarnok

Oakland Athletics right-hander Freddy Tarnok (hip) reported to the team's minor-league complex in Arizona on April 29.

Aledmys Diaz Taking Batting Practice

Oakland Athletics infielder Aledmys Diaz (calf) has resumed taking batting practice. He has not started running the bases yet, but manager Mark Kotsay said that once Diaz does so without issue, he could be ready to go on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 33-year-old veteran utility man is slowly making progress but is probably still […]

Lucas Glover Could Feel Close To Home At Wells Fargo

Lucas Glover enjoyed a career renaissance of sorts in 2023. The American golfer won two tournaments (Fed Ex St. Jude and the Wyndham Championship). 2024 has been different as Glover has zero Top 10 results. He has been close, however. Glover finished 11th at the Valspar in March but subpar final rounds have plagued him […]

Ken Waldichuk Shut Down Indefinitely

Oakland Athletics left-hander Ken Waldichuk (elbow) had a setback after he faced hitters in a 25-pitch live batting practice session on April 29 and has not thrown since.

Si Woo Kim Playing Well Heading To Quail Hollow

Si Woo Kim had an impressive performance at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, finishing T13 and securing his fourth top-20 finish in his previous five starts. Kim hasn't missed a cut in 2024 and has achieved eight top-25 finishes. This week, he will be playing at Quail Hollow for the Wells Fargo Championship. Last year, […]

Kurt Kitayama Likely To Lurk In Charlotte

Kurt Kitayama has played well enough to come close to contending without truly contending in 2024. He has a T-8 at Phoenix with several Top 25 results. The American golfer has only missed one cut in 2024. Total driving is where Kitayama excels ranking tenth overall. His driving distance of 303.8 yards is useful on […]

Luis Medina Could Begin Rehab Assignment Soon

Oakland Athletics right-hander Luis Medina (knee) faced hitters in a 20-pitch live bullpen session at the Coliseum on Monday and came away from it feeling healthy.

Andrew Putnam Poised To Keep Rolling At Wells Fargo

Andrew Putnam enjoyed a better April with two performances inside the top 20 (T14 and T18). Those came in stroke-play tournaments. The American golfer could be worth a look at the Wells Fargo Championship. With a longer course playing out to a par 71, Putnam may have a chance if he can be accurate with […]

Akshay Bhatia Looking To Continue Strong Play In Charlotte

After a couple of weeks off, Akshay Bhatia comes to the Wells Fargo Championship this week looking to pick things up where he left off. He has played well since his win in Texas finishing T35 at The Masters and T18 at the RBC Heritage. Hopefully, the time off allowed the 33rd-ranked player in the […]

Oakland Athletics outfielder Miguel Andujar (knee), who had surgery to fix a torn meniscus in his right knee on March 27, resumed taking batting practice, but manager Mark Kotsay said on Sunday that the outfielder is experiencing lateral knee soreness, a "slight setback" that will slow his progress. Andujar was originally given a recovery timeline […]

Zack Gelof Taking Light Swings

Oakland Athletics second baseman Zack Gelof (oblique) returned to baseball activities on May 1 by taking grounders at second bae and playing catch before a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He has also resumed taking light swings in the cage, but there remains no timeline for Gelof to begin a minor-league rehab assignment, as the […]

Adam Hadwin An Interesting Pick At Wells Fargo

Adam Hadwin seems to have a really good performance every few tournaments. The Canadian golfer has four Top 10 results this season but no wins. The 7,538 yard Quail Hollow course sets up well for Hadwin. However, the Par-71 offers up its own set of twists and turns. Look at some of the winning scores […]

Brock Wilken Returns From Facial Fractures

Milwaukee Brewers third base prospect Brock WIlken (facial) recently returned from an early-season facial fracture injury this past week. Earlier in April, Wilken took a fastball to the face but thankfully did not suffer any loss of vision or concussion as a result. The 21-year-old returned to Double-A on May 4 and tallied a double. […]

Alec Marsh Looks Good In Rehab Outing

Kansas City Royals right-hander Alec Marsh (elbow) looked good in his minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Omaha on Sunday, tossing four shutout innings while allowing one hit, walking one and striking out six. The Royals were hoping that Marsh threw 60 to 65 pitches in the outing, but he pitched so well and efficiently that […]

Aidan Miller Showcasing Power And Speed At Single-A

Philadelphia Phillies third base/shortstop prospect Aidan Miller has been off to an incredible start in his first full professional season at Single-A. Miller has a .310/.375/.479 slash line with two home runs, eight swiped bags, and a 7:14 BB:K. The former first-round pick in the 2023 MLB draft has dominated Single-A pitching and could find […]
