J.P. France Could Be Out A While After Setback

Houston Astros right-hander J.P. France (shoulder) is dealing with a shoulder injury that will sideline him "a while," according to a person familiar with his situation.

Lane Thomas Taking On-Field Batting Practice

Washington Nationals outfielder Lane Thomas (knee) is taking full batting practice on the field on Tuesday for the first time since going on the injured list with a left MCL sprain two weeks ago.

Oakland Athletics shortstop prospect Jacob Wilson went 4-for-4 with a walk in Tuesday's victory over the Tulsa Drillers. Wilson tallied two runs and two RBI as well.

Drew Smyly, Jordan Wicks Throwing Bullpens Tuesday

Chicago Cubs left-handers Drew Smyly (hip) and Jordan Wicks (forearm) were both scheduled to throw bullpen sessions on Tuesday. Wicks went on the injured list over a week ago with a strained left forearm but is already good to throw off a mound, so it sounds as though his injury isn't very serious. However, the […]

Seiya Suzuki Starting Rehab Assignment Wednesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (oblique) will start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday. Suzuki has been away from the team for almost three weeks due to a right-oblique strain, but barring a setback in the minors this week, the 29-year-old outfielder could come off the 10-day injured list and return to […]

Cleveland Guardians catching prospect Ralphy Velazquez has been settling in quite nicely in his first taste of Single-A ball.

This week, Rory McIlroy will play at Quail Hollow for the Wells Fargo Championship. He has been doing exceptionally well this year, with one win, one top-five finish, and five top-25 finishes.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will skip Wednesday's Game 2 against Indiana. The team has ruled Robinson out for left ankle injury management purposes.

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (oblique) was able to take swings in the batting cage on Tuesday.

Javier will get a favorable […]

Luis Arraez Absent On Tuesday

San Diego Padres second baseman Luis Arraez (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs.

Chris Martin Available On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Chris Martin (shoulder) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The right-hander was held out over the weekend due to soreness in his shoulder.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jorge Soler (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 32-year-old has been sidelined since last weekend due to a right shoulder issue. For now, Soler is considered as day-to-day and should be available off the bench.

Can Alex Noren Finally Post A Good Finish At Quail Hollow?

In three career attempts at this event, Alex Noren has a lone finish of T31 in 2017 along with two missed cuts. His downfall has come by losing a combined total of over six strokes on approach over his eight competitive rounds, and out there, that's all you need for a bad day at the […]

Cameron Young Has A Wide Spectrum Of Possibilities At Quail Hollow

Besides the fact that Cameron Young followed a T2 here in 2022 up with a T59 in 2023, his game, as a whole, has things that both excite and bewilder. He continues to be one of the best ball strikers on the PGA Tour, as his 29th ranking in strokes gained tee to green (0.390) […]

Jack Leiter "Probably" Will Start Game 2 On Wednesday

Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said that pitching prospect Jack Leiter will "probably" start the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Oakland Athletics.

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Spencer Turnbull will pitch in relief at some point after left-handed starter Cristopher Sanchez on Tuesday against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays, most likely for three innings or so.
