Maverick McNealy May Need To Be Avoided at TPC River Highlands

Maverick McNealy has come close multiple times to victories this year, falling just short each time. He has six top 10s, which include three top-three finishes. He has also been consistent about making cuts (14/17). This week's Travelers Championship will test players' ability to be precise off the tee, hit good iron shots, and be […]

The injury […]

Will Smith Absent From Wednesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres. This appears to be a routine rest day for Smith who has started in each of the last two games. During that span, Smith is 5-for-8 at the plate with two doubles, one home […]

Francisco Alvarez Getting Rest Day

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Alvarez will get a rest day here after starting in each of the last two games. He has struggled at the plate recently, which could be part of the reason he's on the bench again. […]

As we welcome the official arrival of summer this week, so goes the expected call-ups of prospects to their collective major league teams. Last week, we covered the sensational call-ups of talented prospects Roman Anthony and Kyle Teel, while also speculating on the recall of top pitcher Jacob Misiorowski in Milwaukee. Lo and behold, Misiorowski […]

Avoid Wyndham Clark at the Travelers Championship

Wyndham Clark has let his frustrations with his golf game show in the open for the national audience to see. He has struggled severely as of late, not having finished better than T50 since the RBC Heritage back in mid-April. His history is shaky at best at this week's Travelers Championship with two top 20 […]

Ryan Jeffers Resting on Wednesday

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers (hand) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. This news isn't shocking after Jeffers was lifted from Tuesday's game after getting hit in the hand. The X-rays came back negative, so fantasy managers should consider Jeffers as day-to-day for now. The expectation is […]

Tyler Stephenson, Christian Encarnacion-Strand Absent on Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson and first baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand are out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Jonatan Clase, Myles Straw Sitting on Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielders Jonatan Clase (knee) and Myles Straw (ankle) are absent from the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Rickie Fowler a Very Risky Option at TPC River Highlands

Rickie Fowler has been a truly boom-or-bust candidate in 2025. He has five finishes inside the top 25, including a T7 in his last start at the Memorial, but has finished outside the top 35 six times. His history at this week's Travelers Championship is tricky with four finishes inside the top 20 but also […]

Jorge Soler, Christian Moore Sitting on Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler and rookie second baseman Christian Moore will both take Wednesday's game off against the New York Yankees in the Bronx.

Russell Henley Has Elite Value at TPC River Highlands

Russell Henley has been one of the most consistent golfers over the last two years. After struggling at the PGA Championship, he bounced back with a top-five finish at the Memorial and a T10 at last week's U.S. Open. This week's Travelers Championship is a tournament Henley has typically played well, which makes sense considering […]

Alex Call on the Bench Again

Washington Nationals outfielder Alex Call is on the bench again on Wednesday against the visiting Colorado Rockies at Nationals Park. He'll take a seat again in favor of rookie Daylen Lile, who is starting in right field and batting seventh against Rockies right-hander German Marquez. At least for the time being, the Nationals are choosing […]

Ben Griffin Once Again a Solid Option for Travelers Championship

Ben Griffin has continued to be a machine in 2025 with his latest top 10 finish at the U.S. Open. In his last four starts, he has finished in the top 10 in all four, including a win at the Charles Schwab Challenge and a win at the Zurich Classic just a couple of weeks […]

Jason Day an Intriguing Option at TPC River Highlands

Jason Day looks to improve on a solid 2025 season. He has only missed one cut, has three top-10 finishes, and finished T23 or better on two more occasions, including this past weekend at the U.S. Open. This week's Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands features a layout that rewards precision accuracy off the tee […]

Pirates Call Up Billy Cook

The Pittsburgh Pirates announced on Wednesday that they recalled outfield prospect Billy Cook from Triple-A Indianapolis and placed outfielder Bryan Reynolds on the paternity list in a corresponding move.

Max Meyer to Visit With Hip Specialist

Miami Marlins right-hander Max Meyer (hip) said on Wednesday that he will visit with a hip specialist. The news comes after Meyer was seen throwing before Monday's series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies, but he must not have felt great after that.
