Corey Conners A Fade This Week

Corey Conners enters this week with a career 0-3 match play record. In addition to his individual record, the Canadian finds himself in one of the toughest groups in the event. Paul Casey, Louis Oosthuizen and Alex Noren are all notably good match play players. It is extremely difficult to see Conners advancing out of […]

Viktor Hovland Looks For Match-Play Success

Viktor Hovland enters this week as one of the hottest iron players in the world. His T33 finish last week was the first time in four events that he finished outside of the top ten. It feels like the Norwegian is due for a victory sooner rather than later. That said, the 24-year-old has a […]

Scottie Scheffler Looking To Make Match-Play Finals Again

Scottie Scheffler was a finalist at this event last year and beat Jon Rahm in singles at The Ryder Cup. Scheffler is in fantastic form, winning two of his last four events.

Kevin Kisner Can Continue Match-Play Success

Kevin Kisner has one of the best match-play records at this event (16-6-1). As a former winner of the WGC Dell Match Play, Kisner has wielded his elite chipping and putting to win many matches against better drivers and more accurate iron players. Even with Justin Thomas in his group, Kisner has a chance to […]

Trevor Story Signs With Boston Red Sox - Fantasy Baseball Impact

The Boston Red Sox finally made a splash in the post-lockout free-agent market by signing former Rockies shortstop Trevor Story to a six-year deal worth 140 million dollars.

Rams Still Want To Re-Sign Odell Beckham Jr.

The Los Angeles Rams still want to re-sign wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee). "He's someone we definitely want back, but it's a little more complex with the injury situation," general manager Les Snead said. Beckham was a key contributor down the stretch and in the playoff run for the Rams before he tore his […]

Kevin Na A Match-Play Nightmare

Kevin Na can win a hole from anywhere around the green with his elite short game. His accuracy off the tee and streaky iron play have allowed him to enter the week with an 8-8-2 record at Austin Country Club. Na has also shown that there is more to match play than just strokes gained, […]

Sungjae Im Relying On Short Game

Sungjae Im has not gained more than 1.5 strokes on approach in any of his last five starts. Im will need to beat Patrick Cantlay, Seamus Power and Keith Mitchell if he wants to advance out of his group this week. He has been struggling with his irons for the last two months, which will […]

Lonzo Ball To Pause His Rehab

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) will put his rehab stint on pause for at least the next 10 days. The young guard won't be running for at least another week or so, which is not great news for fantasy managers. Head coach Billy Donovan mentioned Ball's knee hasn't been responding well to rehab. At […]

Za'Darius Smith Agrees With Vikings

Free-agent linebacker Za'Darius Smith agreed to a three-year deal with a base value of $42 million with the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, according to a source.

Andrew Wiggins Listed As Probable Versus Magic

Golden State Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins (knee) has been tagged as probable for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic.

[…]

Markelle Fultz Not On Injury Report For Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is not on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so fantasy managers should expect Fultz to suit up here. That means, he'll most likely be out for Wednesday's contest, but at least fantasy managers can […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Leaves Game Early Tuesday

Miami Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. (hand) left the spring training game early on Tuesday after taking a ground ball off his right hand. It's unclear how serious this injury is, so fantasy managers will want to check back on Chisholm's status. If the 24-year-old's injury is serious enough to keep him out for […]

Zach LaVine Considered Questionable For Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Bulls rest their star guard. The playoffs are right around the corner, so Chicago wants to make sure LaVine is healthy for […]

Edwin Diaz Settles With Mets

The New York Mets avoided salary arbitration with closer Edwin Diaz on Tuesday by settling on a one-year, $10.2 million deal on his birthday.

Patrick Cantlay Struggling On Approach

Patrick Cantlay has only gained strokes with his irons in two of his six starts in the 2022 season. However, he has four top-10s in those starts while the rest of his game has been firing on all cylinders. He missed his first cut of the season at The Players Championship, where he lost strokes […]

Austin Meadows Avoids Arbitration

The Tampa Bay Rays and outfielder Austin Meadows avoided salary arbitration on Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $4 million deal.

Mike Yastrzemski Avoids Arbitration

The San Francisco Giants avoided salary arbitration with outfielder Mike Yastrzemski on Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $3.7 million deal.

Darin Ruf, Giants Agree To Extension

The San Francisco Giants and first baseman/outfielder Darin Ruf agreed to a two-year, $6.25 million contract extension on Tuesday, according to sources. The deal includes a third-year club option. The extension buys out Ruf's final two years of arbitration and potentially one free-agent season. In his second year with the Giants in 2021, the 35-year-old […]

Eric Lauer Scratched With Groin Pain

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Eric Lauer (groin) was scratched from his spring start on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox due to groin discomfort. He's expected to miss one turn and then get back on track, according to manager Craig Counsell. Right-hander Jason Alexander will get the start on Tuesday instead of Lauer. As long as […]

Justin Dunn Expected To Miss A Couple Months

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Justin Dunn (shoulder) is expected to miss a couple of months with a shoulder injury.
