Bryan Reynolds Continues To Struggle

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 0-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in a 7-5 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday. The struggles continue for Reynolds who is batting just .205 with a .609 OPS over the last 30 contests. He nearly ended the Pirates' seventh-inning rally when he appeared to ground […]

Starling Marte Absent Again Against White Sox

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (head) will miss another contest on Wednesday against the visiting Chicago White Sox. Marte will miss his second straight game after being scratched from Tuesday's lineup with a migraine headache. He obviously still isn't feeling all that well and will take another day off. Fantasy managers will have to […]

Eloy Jimenez Missing Another Game

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (groin) is on the bench again on Wednesday with the team facing the New York Mets. Jimenez hasn't played since leaving Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves early with left-groin tightness. The White Sox said Jimenez was available off the bench on Tuesday, but he ultimately was not used […]

Chase Silseth Called Up To Start Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Chase Silseth has been called up from Triple-A Salt Lake to make the start on Wednesday against the visiting New York Yankees. The outing will be Silseth's 10 appearance and only second start in his second year in the big leagues for the Angels. There's nothing in his profile that suggests […]

David Bednar Shuts The Door On Cleveland On Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher David Bednar worked a scoreless ninth inning on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians to pick up his 18th save of the season in a 7-5 win. This game looked to be out of reach for the Pirates before a five-run seventh inning gave them the lead. Bednar was called upon to […]

Eddie Rosario Returning To The Starting Lineup Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Eddie Rosario is back in the starting lineup Wednesday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Ryne Nelson. Rosario has been out since July 15 due to a hamstring issue but gets back into the lineup looking to bounce back from a tough month of July to this point. The veteran is […]

Mark Canha Hitting The Bench Wednesday

New York Mets outfielder Mark Canha is back on the bench Wednesday night against the Chicago White Sox and right-hander Touki Toussaint. The veteran went 1-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts in Tuesday's 11-10 win over the White Sox but will sit on Wednesday while Jeff McNeil takes over in right field. It's been a […]

Jonathan India Getting Rare Breather Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India is getting a rare night off on Wednesday night against the San Francisco Giants and right-hander Ross Stripling. India's 424 plate appearances on the season are the seventh-most in all of baseball while he's having a slightly below-average season at the dish. The 26-year-old is hitting .250 with a […]

Tyrone Taylor Re-Enters Starting Lineup Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Tyrone Taylor is back in the starting lineup Wednesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Cristopher Sanchez. It's Taylor's first start since July 15, as he's missed significant time due to injuries this season, most recently being reinstated from the 10-day injured list due to an elbow injury. Taylor has appeared […]

Andrew Vaughn Taking A Seat Wednesday

Chicago White Sox first baseman Andrew Vaughn is on the bench to start Wednesday's game against the New York Mets and right-hander Justin Verlander. It's been a solid season for the 25-year-old as Vaughn has slugged 12 homers along with a .738 OPS across 94 appearances on the campaign. However, Vaughn has endured a miserable […]

Brent Suter Returns From Injured List Wednesday

Colorado Rockies pitcher Brent Suter has been activated from the injured list after recovering from an oblique injury. The left-handed reliever last pitched on June 20 before being placed on the 15-day IL.

Dawuane Smoot To Visit Ravens

Free-agent defensive end Dawuane Smoot (Achilles) is set to visit with the Baltimore Ravens next week. Smoot, who suffered a torn Achilles last season, is preparing to get back on the field soon. The 28-year-old posted 22.5 sacks over the last four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars and could be a productive depth piece for […]

Chase Brown Locking In On Receiving Skills

Cincinnati Bengals rookie running back Chase Brown was a high-end pure rusher at the University of Illinois, but he caught just 58 passes in five collegiate seasons and knows he needs to improve in that area. "We're a pass-first offense. I have to make sure I'm locked in on pass protection. Being physical at the […]

Leonard Fournette Working Out For Patriots Wednesday

Free-agent running back Leonard Fournette is working out for the New England Patriots on Wednesday. The veteran ball-carrier visited New England last offseason before signing a new deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so there is likely mutual interest between the two sides. Fournette's best days as a runner are likely behind him, as he […]

Denzel Mims To Be Released

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims will be released by the team soon if no trade partner can be found. The 25-year-old was a second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft and has totaled just 42 receptions for 676 yards and no touchdowns in three seasons as a pro. With Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, […]

Rafael Devers Returns Wednesday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (calf) is back at third base and is hitting cleanup for Boston on Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics and left-hander Ken Waldichuk. Devers has missed the last couple of games with a minor calf injury, but he'll return to action on Wednesday and will have another day off […]

Ryan Noda Out Due To Dental Emergency

Oakland Athletics rookie first baseman Ryan Noda (mouth) was scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Boston Red Sox due to a dental emergency, according to the team. It's unclear exactly what Noda is dealing with, but he won't play on Wednesday and should be considered day-to-day. It remains to be seen if Noda will […]

Laurie Canter Looks To Make The Weekend At The Open

Englishman Laurie Canter made the cut at St. Andrews last year, but a 79th-place finish says all we need to know about his potential to cause a stir atop the leaderboard (or lack thereof). This season Canter has bounced around the middle portion of LIV Golf tournaments, placing in the top-20 just three times in […]

Corey Conners Has Great Value In The Open

A very encouraging T19 finish at the Scottish Open last week sets Corey Conners up to have incredible value this week at The Open Championship. Conners continues to be one of the elite players on approach this season, which will be key this week. Sitting fifth on tour in greens in regulation percentage, 11th in […]

Nicolai Hojgaard Shows Off Improved Irons In Scotland

The 22-year-old from Denmark, Nicolai Hojgaard, had his best strokes-gained-approach performance of his young PGA career in the Scottish Open last week, gaining 7.1 strokes with his irons and wedges. Even more impressive was that 4.13 of those strokes gained were on Sunday in extremely windy conditions that saw most of his competition falter. Hojgaard's […]

Surgery Recommended For Andrew Painter

The Philadelphia Phillies medical staff has recommended that pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow) undergo right-elbow UCL reconstruction with ulnar-nerve transposition surgery. It's a bit of a surprise after recent test results showed that Painter's UCL was healing. The No. 8 overall prospect in all of baseball, per MLB Pipeline, will miss the rest of this […]

Sam Burns Hard To Figure Out At The Open

Sitting inside the top-20 in the FedEx Cup standings, Sam Burns has had a nice season to this point. A top-20 finish last week in the Scottish Open was an encouraging result coming into The Open, but Burns is a confusing option this week. For his career, Burns is still looking for his first top-40 […]

Willson Contreras Getting A Rest Day

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras will start on the bench on Wednesday as the team faces the Miami Marlins in the series finale.

Wander Franco, Randy Arozarena Out Against Rangers

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco and outfielder Randy Arozarena are both out of the lineup on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers. Taylor Walls will man the 6 and bat eighth, while Luke Raley will start in left field and bat in the two-hole against Rangers right-hander Jon Gray. Franco and Arozarena are both fine […]

Viktor Hovland A Safe Option At The Open

Having yet to miss a cut on the PGA Tour this season, Viktor Hovland will make his third Open Championship start this week. Out of the four majors, Hovland has played his most consistent golf at The Open, recording finishes of T4 and T12 at the event in his career. There is no reason to […]

J.D. Martinez Absent From Wednesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter J.D. Martinez is taking a day off on Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles. In his absence, Will Smith will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup, while Austin Barnes does the catching and hits out of the nine-hole against Orioles right-hander Dean Kremer. Martinez, who has been an All-Star […]

Adley Rutschman Resting Up Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman will retreat to the bench for Wednesday's contest against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. It's just a normal day off for the All-Star catcher, who went 2-for-8 with a home run and a double in the first two games of the series against the Dodgers in Baltimore. When he's playing, […]
