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 […]

Scott Alexander Working In Rehab Games

Oakland Athletics left-hander Scott Alexander (rib) gave up a run on two hits while striking out one in an inning of work in his first minor-league rehab appearance for Single-A Stockton last Friday. Alexander said he felt good in his first rehab outing and was scheduled to make another appearance in San Jose on Tuesday, […]

Miguel Andujar Suffers "Slight Setback"

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 […]

Corey Conners A Safe Pick With Questionable Upside At Wells Fargo

By now, we get that Corey Conners is a premier iron player, especially over 200 yards (fourth in strokes gained on approach at 0.798), and he isn't typically a slouch off the tee, either. But to have lasting success on the PGA Tour, guys have to do more than that on occasion to notch some […]

Oswald Peraza Starting Rehab Assignment Tuesday Night

New York Yankees infielder Oswald Peraza (shoulder) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday night with Single-A Tampa. Peraza hasn't played at all this year after suffering a right-shoulder strain in spring training in late February. The 23-year-old is probably going to require a lengthy stint in the minor leagues before the […]

Collin Morikawa’s Form Trending In The Right Direction

Collin Morikawa is ready to tee it up in this week's Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow. Although he missed the cut at last year's tournament, he has been in outstanding form lately. In his previous three tournaments, he has secured one top-five finish, one top-ten finish, and one top-25 finish. At last year's tournament, […]

Brayan Bello Ready To Start On Sunday

Boston Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello (lat) said he feels great and is pain-free and is ready to start on Sunday at Fenway Park against the visiting Washington Nationals. We'll see what the Red Sox have to say about that after Bello allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits while walking two and striking […]

Brady House Riding Three-Game Hit Streak

Washington Nationals third base/shortstop prospect Brady House has performed well in his first extended look at Double-A this season and is making a case to be moved up to Triple-A sooner rather than later. House is currently on a three-game hitting streak and has gone hitless in just one of his past eight games. During […]

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. Shoulder inflammation delayed France's building in spring training, but he recovered in time to make the team's Opening Day roster. He had a 7.46 ERA in five big-league starts […]

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. It's good progress for Thomas, but he still has other boxes to check before the club clears him to embark on […]

Colson Montgomery Continues Power Surge On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox shortstop prospect Colson Montgomery launched another home run on Tuesday, his second in the past two days. After not tallying a long ball in his first 11 games of the season, the 22-year-old now has six in his last 19 games at Triple-A. He has an overall .230/.360/.434 line. While Montgomery seems […]

Victor Robles Returns From Injured List

The Washington Nationals reinstated outfielder Victor Robles (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned outfielder Alex Call to Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. Robles will return to the big leagues after missing more than a month due to a strained left hamstring. The 26-year-old went 7-for-20 with a stolen base in […]

Jacob Wilson Perfect At The Plate On Tuesday

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. The 22-year-old wasted no time by lacing an RBI double in the opening frame, and then came around to score off a Cooper Bowman groundout. Later in the […]

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 […]

Grayson Rodriguez Hopes To Return When Eligible

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (shoulder) said his right shoulder feels much better. He's been playing catch and is hoping to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list when he's eligible to return on May 15. The move to place Rodriguez on the IL was more of a precautionary move since he had been battling […]

Ralphy Velazquez Dominating At Single-A

Cleveland Guardians catching prospect Ralphy Velazquez has been settling in quite nicely in his first taste of Single-A ball. The 18-year-old has posted a .264/.343/.505 line with six long balls and 21 RBI through 22 games this season. He has also stolen one base and has an 11:21 BB:K ratio. The former first-round pick is […]

Tyrese Haliburton Picks Up Another Questionable Tag

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (back) is considered questionable for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Knicks. He's carried the designation for quite some time due to back spasms but hasn't yet missed any postseason action. Haliburton had a rough one in the series opener on Monday, recording only six points in 36 minutes. Backup […]

Gerrit Cole Throws Another Bullpen On Tuesday

New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole (elbow) threw another bullpen session on Tuesday. Manager Aaron Boone said the plan is for Cole to travel with the team to Tampa and throw another bullpen session this weekend. Cole threw off a mound for the first time last Saturday and continues to progress from a right-elbow injury […]

Rory McIlroy Looks To Continue Winning Ways At Quail Hollow

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. In the previous edition, McIlroy finished T47, which was quite disappointing. However, he still ranks in the 61st percentile for proximity to the […]

Jasson Dominguez To Begin Rehab Assignment Soon

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez (elbow) is set to begin a minor league rehab assignment in mid-to-late May. The 21-year-old continues recovering from last year's Tommy John surgery. The hope is that Dominguez can rejoin the outfield mix at some point next month. The top prospect did well with the team during his first […]

Mitchell Robinson Ruled Out For Game 2 Against Indiana

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. The seven-footer had surgery on his left ankle during the regular season and appeared to re-injure the ankle at the start of the playoffs. Robinson was limited to only […]

Gabriel Moreno Out Sick Tuesday

Updating a previous report, Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno (illness) is under the weather and is getting the day off on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds, according to manager Torey Lovullo. The hope is that Moreno will be back in the lineup on Wednesday. He's available off the bench on Tuesday, Lovullo said. It's the […]
