Justin Thomas A Perfect Fit For Valspar

Despite a second missed cut at a signature event, Justin Thomas' game is in good shape. Thomas ranks No. 6 in strokes gained this season and No. 10 tee to green. Thomas' putting is very sporadic and he hits a few errant drives per event, but covers it up with elite iron play and scrambling […]

Doug McDermott Questionable Wednesday

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) is questionable Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. He last played on February 26th, and he's in danger of missing 11 consecutive contests. However, him being listed as questionable instead of out is good news for Indiana. If the veteran forward cannot suit up due to a right calf strain, […]

Khris Middleton Not Listed On The Injury Report

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton isn't listed on the team's injury report for Wednesday's matchup with Boston. Middleton tweaked his ankle at the beginning of February, resulting in a multi-week stint on the shelf. However, he returned for Sunday's win over the Phoenix Suns. The 32-year-old played better than expected, amassing 22 points, seven rebounds, […]

Vikings Agree To Terms With Dan Feeney

The Minnesota Vikings agreed to terms on an undisclosed deal with free-agent center/guard Dan Feeney on Tuesday.

Zeke Nnaji Out Tuesday With Back Pain

Denver Nuggets forward/center Zeke Nnaji (back) won't play on Tuesday against Minnesota. He's bothered by lower back pain, and Denver has downgraded the 23-year-old from questionable to out. As he's only a bit-part player who rarely sees over 10 minutes in a game, Nnaji's absence won't impact the Nuggets in any way. He will get […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Officially Questionable For Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is questionable heading into Wednesday's game against Boston. The multi-time MVP was ruled out not long before the start of Sunday's win over the Phoenix Suns. He did practice Tuesday, albeit limited. Still, Antetokounmpo appears to be making progress. But if he can't return from his one-game absence, Bobby […]

Jimmy Stanger Is Making The Most Of His Rookie Season

It has been a quietly successful run over the last four events for Jimmy Stanger, with a most recent finish of T35 at The Players. The PGA Tour rookie has been a beast with the driver, as he ranks 15th in strokes gained off the tee on the season (0.603). His poor ranking of 122nd […]

Ugo Amadi Back With The Saints

New Orleans Saints executive vice president/general manager Mickey Loomis announced on Tuesday that the team re-signed safety Ugo Amadi to an undisclosed deal.

Sam Burns Battling A Few Bad Rounds

Sam Burns' statistics suggest he should already have a win this season. Burns went on a run of top-10 finishes after Sentry but had two disappointing finishes in Florida.

Ravens Re-Sign Arthur Maulet

The Baltimore Ravens re-signed cornerback Arthur Maulet to an undisclosed two-year deal on Tuesday.

He did, however, […]

Xander Schauffele Back At Valspar After Another Big Week

Another great week for Xander Schauffele ended just short of a win. While Schauffele has struggled to secure wins at the rate his skills suggest he should, he's on a tear to start this season. The putter had been the club holding Schauffele back but he's gained strokes each event since the Florida swing began. […]

San Francisco Giants right-hander Alex Cobb (hip) will make his Cactus League debut on Friday against the Chicago Cubs and will throw three innings.

Houston Astros right-hander Jose Urquidy (forearm) said he's hopeful that he can resume throwing after a break of 10 to 15 days.

Luka Doncic Good To Go Versus San Antonio

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (hamstring) has been officially labeled as available for Tuesday's matchup against San Antonio. He has been upgraded from a probable status.

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that infielder Jordan Westburg (elbow) is fine after being removed from the Grapefruit League game early on Tuesday versus the Toronto Blue Jays after he was hit by a pitch on his left elbow.

Charlotte Hornets guard Tre Mann (illness) will be available for Tuesday's matchup against Orlando. He's won a bout with an illness, shaking off a questionable tag.

Thorbjorn Olesen A Flier Pick At Valspar

Thorbjorn Oleson is making just his third PGA Tour start of the season this week at the Copperhead Course, but his knack for finding ways to play well on American soil can't be overstated, though his two performances in 2024 haven't exactly reflected that. A three-week tournament run in January on the DP World Tour […]

Can Andrew Putnam Finally Make A Cut At Valspar?

In three attempts at the Copperhead Course, Andrew Putnam has missed the cut in horrendous fashion on all three occasions. However, those examples have been in the middle or end of bad stretches which dilutes the idea that he doesn't particularly enjoy this course. From a momentum standpoint, Putnam is coming into the week with […]
