Ha-Seong Kim Goes Hitless In Five At-Bats

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim went hitless in five at-bats out of the leadoff spot in the 8-3 win over the Oakland Athletics on Friday night, but he also walked and stole his 36th base of the season.

Patrick Bailey Sitting In First Game Of Doubleheader

San Francisco Giants rookie catcher Patrick Bailey is not in the starting lineup on Saturday for the contest against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in Game 1 of a doubleheader.

Spire Motorsports Expanding To Three Cup Cars In 2024

Spire Motorsports will likely be a three-car operation in the Cup Series next season, as the organization has reportedly purchased the racing charter that Live Fast Motorsports currently owns for around $40 million. Currently, Spire Motorsports has two cars in NASCAR's top series, as Corey Lajoie drives the No. 7 Chevrolet for them and Ty […]

Johnny Cueto Doesn't Last Long Against Braves

Miami Marlins right-hander Johnny Cueto wasn't very effective in a no-decision on Friday night in an eventual 9-6 win over the visiting Atlanta Braves. Cueto allowed three earned runs on seven hits (one homer) while walking none and striking out two in only four innings of work. The veteran 37-year-old Dominican hurler has only appeared […]

Kyle Busch A Boom-Or-Bust Driver At Bristol

Bristol Motor Speedway has been one of Kyle Busch's best tracks on the schedule throughout his career. It has also been one of his worst. In 33 career starts at this track, Busch has amassed an impressive eight victories along with 14 top-five finishes. He also has ten results outside of the top-20 entirely, including […]

Triston Casas Scratched From Saturday's Lineup

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (shoulder) was scratched from Saturday's starting lineup against the Toronto Blue Jays for the second straight day due to a sore shoulder. Justin Turner is now starting at first base and will bat third against Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt. Masataka Yoshida is the designated hitter, Adam Duvall […]

Kevin Harvick Not Happy With His Car At Bristol

Kevin Harvick enters Saturday night's race at Bristol Motor Speedway in the thick of the Playoffs hunt, but the driver of the No. 4 Ford for Stewart-Haas Racing hasn't been happy with his car--which isn't a good sign for this weekend. During practice on Friday, Harvick was just 19th-fastest in single-lap speed (out of 36 […]

Justin Haley Could Surprise At Bristol This Weekend

Keep an eye on Justin Haley in Saturday night's Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway. The driver of the No. 31 Chevrolet for Kaulig Racing qualified in 19th-place for this weekend's event, and was 13th-fastest in practice earlier that day. Looking back at this race last season, Haley also started from back […]

Royce Lewis Hits Another Grand Slam

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Royce Lewis continues to have a flare for the dramatic with the bases loaded, as he hit a franchise-record fourth grand slam on Friday in the 10-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. Lewis also became the first player in MLB history with five grand slams among his first 16 career home […]

Daniel Suarez Consistently Mediocre At Bristol

Daniel Suarez has made 10 career NASCAR Cup Series starts at Bristol Motor Speedway, but he hasn't quite been able to get the hang of this race track yet. While Suarez does have two top-10 finishes to his credit (both during the 2019 season), his average finish of 16.3 leaves much to be desired. Additionally, […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Has Big Game In Win Over Astros

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. finished Friday night's 4-2 win over the visiting Houston Astros by going 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two stolen bases and a walk. Witt's home run proved to be the difference in this ballgame, and he's now up to a career-high 29 home runs and a career-high […]

Ross Chastain One Of The Slowest Playoff Cars In Qualifying At Bristol

Ross Chastain is fighting to keep his Championship hopes alive at Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend, but he didn't do himself any favors in qualifying, as the No. 1 Chevrolet ended up just 23rd-fastest out of the 36 cars entered in the race. Chastain was the fourth-slowest Playoff driver in qualifying, only beating out Ricky […]

Hunter Renfrow - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow will look to step up for his team this week with fellow WR Jakobi Meyers out due to concussion. Renfrow was held without a target for the first time in his 57-game career in Week 1 while Meyers saw 10 targets in his Raiders debut. Those targets will […]

Carlos Santana Goes Yard Twice Friday Night

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Carlos Santana displayed some power in Friday night's 5-3 win over the visiting Washington Nationals, going 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk while hitting third in the lineup. The Brewers acquired Santana in a midseason trade from the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he's now up to 21 home runs, […]

Raiders D/ST - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

The Las Vegas Raiders defense travels to Buffalo in Week 2 without star DE Chandler Jones, who continues to be absent from the team for personal reasons. The Raiders did just enough without him last week, holding the Denver Broncos offense to two touchdowns and 260 offensive yards in a 17-16 win. The Pro Bowler's […]

Carson Hocevar Hoping To Maintain Momentum At Bristol

Carson Hocevar has been a much-needed shot in the arm for Legacy Motor Club over the past couple of weeks, as the Truck Series driver now has back-to-back top 20 finishes after a 20th-place result at Kansas last weekend. Now we're at Bristol, where Hocevar was 23rd-fastest in practice on Friday and then went out […]

Corey Lajoie Starts 10th And Could Surprise People At Bristol

One big surprise during qualifying at Bristol Motor Speedway on Friday evening was Corey Lajoie, who made it into the final round and will start the Bass Pro Shops Night Race from the fifth row (10th place). In 10 career attempts at Bristol, Lajoie has never started better than 26th place, so this is a […]

Triston Casas Returns On Saturday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (shoulder) is back at first base and is hitting cleanup for the BoSox on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander Chris Bassitt. A minor shoulder injury caused Casas to be scratched from Friday's starting lineup, but he'll be back in action a day later and can […]

Daniel Carlson - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson has been a strong and steady leg across his six-year NFL career. The 28-year-old had a mundane start to the season last week, tallying one field goal and two extra points in a nail-biting win for the Raiders over the Broncos. Las Vegas has a matchup in Buffalo in […]

Todd Gilliland Hoping To Continue Good Luck At Bristol

Often times getting a good finish at Bristol can come down to simply surviving the race, especially for the drivers that don't have a lot of speed in "Thunder Valley." That is exactly what Todd Gilliland needs to do in Saturday night's Bass Pro Shops Night Race. During practice on Friday, his No. 38 Ford […]

Broncos Defense A Solid Starting Option In Week 2

The Denver Broncos defense held the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders to 17 points in their Week 1 loss, but they didn't do much for fantasy managers with just one interception and no sacks on quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Denver limited start receiver Davante Adams and last year's NFL rushing leader in Josh Jacobs, but it wasn't […]

Daniel Hemric To Get Another Shot In Cup Series With Kaulig Racing

Daniel Hemric, the 2021 Xfinity Series Champion, will be back in the NASCAR Cup Series for the 2024 season, as it was announced that he will be driving the No. 31 Chevrolet for Kaulig Racing next year. He will be taking over that car from Justin Haley, who will be moving to Rick Ware Racing. […]

Josh Jacobs - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs remains the center point of Josh McDaniels' running offense, as evidenced by his 80% snap share and 21 touches in Week 1. Jacobs wasn't able to muster much on the ground despite the volume, however, tallying just 48 rush yards. Fantasy managers are hoping for better efficiency from […]
