Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers will retreat to the bench for Tuesday's tilt on the road in Miami against the hosting Marlins. Christian Vazquez will do the catching for right-hander Joe Ryan and will bat ninth against Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera.

Paul DeJong Returns From Injured List

The Washington Nationals announced on Tuesday that they reinstated infielder Paul DeJong (face) from the 10-day injured list and optioned infielder Andres Chaparro to Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. It's unclear if DeJong will be in Tuesday's starting lineup against the visiting Detroit Tigers, but he's unlikely to see the kind of playing time […]

Jorge Soler Reinstated and Starting Against Braves

The Los Angeles Angels reinstated outfielder Jorge Soler (back) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned infielder Scott Kingery to Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Si Woo Kim is a Prohibitive Fade at John Deere Classic

It has not been a fun time inside the ropes for Si Woo Kim in recent weeks, having withdrawn from the Travelers Championship and finishing nearly dead last among those who made the cut last week in Detroit. Putting has gone as far south as one could imagine for such a highly-regarded player, as the […]

Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman (hamstring) is back behind the plate to catch rookie right-hander Chase Dollander and will hit second on Tuesday versus the visiting Houston Astros and left-hander Colton Gordon at Coors Field.

Shedeur Sanders - 2025 Fantasy Football Rookie Draft Sleepers and Values

DRAFT PICK: 5th Round (#144 Overall Pick) TEAM: Cleveland Browns ROOKIE DRAFT ANALYSIS: I maintain the stance I've had since before the NFL Draft, which is that Shedeur Sanders is the second-best quarterback from the 2025 class. The reasons Sanders dropped to the fifth round make some sense. His pre-draft interviews sounded like they didn't go […]

Ben Griffin is the Appropriate Favorite at TPC Deere Run

Hoping to build on his T5 finish here last season and continue his impressive run since winning the Zurich Classic in April, Ben Griffin should have a strong chance to capture his second win this season. The game that's been on display for the last 10 weeks or so doesn't exactly correlate with what's shown […]

Ronny Mauricio Out of Mets Lineup

New York Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's tilt against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers at Citi Field. Mark Vientos is at third base and is hitting sixth, while Brett Baty will start at the keystone and bat in the nine-hole against Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta. Mauricio, who is playing […]
