Garrett Whitlock Resumes Throwing

Boston Red Sox right-hander Garrett Whitlock (elbow) played catch on Monday and is feeling great. The last report we had on Whitlock was that he hadn't resumed throwing since landing on the injured list on the Fourth of July, so this news is much more encouraging.

Texas Rangers relief pitcher William Smith picked up his 17th save of the season in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rays. The veteran came in to pitch the top of the ninth up by two and turned in a 1-2-3 inning with no strikeouts. Smith has served as the team's closer for a good part […]

Christian Encarnacion-Strand Hits First Career Homer Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds corner-infield prospect Christian Encarnacion-Strand showed why he is such an intriguing fantasy player in Tuesday's 11-10 loss to the Giants. The 23-year-old came into his second career big-league game to pinch-hit and play third base and went 2-for-3 with a single and a three-run home run.

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto ticked off a career milestone in Tuesday's 11-10 loss to the Giants, going 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, two walks, and a strikeout.

Perry was drafted by the Saints in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL draft after spending four seasons at Wake Forest. The team has not shed any light on Perry's injury or indicated how long he would be […]

Justin Thomas Stuck In Season-Long Slump

For most players on the PGA Tour, Justin Thomas' season would be just fine. Thomas has had four top-10s and 10 top-25s since the season began in the fall. For a player with Thomas' talent, however, it's viewed as a disappointment. Thomas' putting has been poor all season but for the past month, his ball […]

Bryson DeChambeau Back To 2021 Form

When Bryson DeChambeau left for LIV Golf, his career was at a real crossroads. DeChambeau started to struggle and his results at major championships showed he was far from winning again after his U.S. Open title. However, after he missed the cut at The Masters DeChambeau has been on a tear. He finished T4 at […]

Cameron Young Continues Concerning Form

In his last start, Cameron Young posted his best finish since The Masters. Young was in the mix to win the John Deere Classic but failed to finish off his first PGA Tour win. Young seemed to figure out the major issues with his short game but struggled with his approach play once again. Young […]

Red-Hot Brian Harman Ready For Royal Liverpool

Brian Harman has found great success in each of his last three events on tour, finishing in second, ninth, and 12th over the span of four weeks. The lefty has dialed in his irons and wedges while bringing along his typically reliable putter. Harman will continue to be an average player off the tee, but […]

Tommy Fleetwood Trending Toward A Win

Tommy Fleetwood has been so close to capturing his first PGA Tour win this season. A victory this week wouldn't qualify as a win in the United States but Fleetwood wouldn't complain about that. The only statistical category Fleetwood has struggled at since the summer started has been approach play. That is where Fleetwood is […]

Harris English Tries To Put It All Together At Hoylake

Small glimpses of brilliance from Harris English in 2023 lead us to believe that he has what it takes to claim victory at a tournament like The Open in his current form, but it's tough to know which version of the Georgia native will show up. One thing we know for sure is that English's […]

Patrick Reed Looks To Build On Strong London Showing

Masters champion Patrick Reed has been relatively quiet over the past two years since he entered the world of LIV Golf, but things could finally be trending positively for the 32-year-old. Reed made the cut in each of the first three majors of the year, including a T4 finish at the Masters and a T18 […]

Tyrrell Hatton Looking For First Major Top-10 Finish This Season

Tyrrell Hatton is in the midst of a phenomenal season. Hatton has seven top-10 finishes and is now ranked No.13 in the Official World Golf Ranking. However, none of those high finishes came during major events. Hatton was T34 at The Masters, T27 at the U.S. Open, and T15 at the PGA Championship. These finishes […]

Matt Fitzpatrick Dealing With Driver Issues

Last week was a surprising missed cut for Matt Fitzpatrick with such a great course history at the Scottish Open. Looking at Fitzpatrick's statistics, it makes more sense. For three straight events, he has struggled off the tee. In the last two starts, Fitzpatrick has been below his averages on approach and around the green. […]

Jordan Spieth Struggling Ahead Of Open Championship

Jordan Spieth has an elite history at Open Championships really since the event's last trip to Royal Liverpool in 2014. Spieth has five top-10 finishes and a win, so naturally, he will be a popular pick to contend this week. However, Spieth's current form suggests that he might not make it to the weekend. Spieth […]

Brandon Drury Takes Batting Practice Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (shoulder) took batting practice on Tuesday, according to Jeff Fletcher of the SoCal News Group. He's been out of action since the end of June after injuring his shoulder, but it seems like he's making a quick recovery and is getting closer to returning from the injured list. Drury […]

Scottie Scheffler Continues Run Of Elite Form

If Scottie Scheffler was just a slightly better putter, he would have at least five wins this season. Scheffler is the best player on the PGA Tour off the tee and on approach and is fifth around the green. The issue is that Scheffler ranks No. 137 in putting, but he hasn't finished worse than […]

Yordan Alvarez Set For Wednesday Rehab

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (oblique) will start a rehab assignment on Wednesday with Triple-A Sugar Land, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports. The heavy hitter hit the injured list last month after straining his right oblique. Before the injury, though, Alvarez was mashing, as he slashed .277/.388/.589 with 17 bombs, 41 runs, and […]

Chris Sale Feels Good Following Bullpen

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (shoulder) tossed a bullpen on Tuesday, and according to Sonja Chen of MLB.com, he "felt good" afterwards. The left-hander has appeared in just 11 games this season as he's dealing with a shoulder injury he sustained in early June. It was his first bullpen session since hitting the […]
