Yankees Inquire About A's Matt Olson

The New York Yankees have reportedly discussed the idea of trading for first baseman Matt Olson of the Oakland Athletics, though talks have not progressed to the point of determining what the player compensation would be in such a deal. Olson enjoyed an outstanding season in 2021, slashing .271/.371/.540 with 39 homers, four steals, 101 […]

Jonathan Taylor The Fastest Ball-Carrier In 2021

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has not only surpassed Derrick Henry as the No. 1 fantasy running back in 2021, but he has the two fastest speeds (Henry is third on the list) in terms of mph as a ball-carrier through 10 weeks. The fastest two speeds of any ball-carrier (rusher, passer or receiver) […]

Freddie Freeman Negotiations Center On Sixth Year

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman continues to negotiate with the club about a return, and the discussions are now centered on the question of whether the team is willing to offer the franchise icon a sixth season. The 2020 National League MVP would be 37 at the end of such a contract. It's long […]

Trevor Story To Reject Qualifying Offer

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story is expected to reject the qualifying offer and become a free agent Wednesday. He will hit the open market for the first time after being drafted into the Rockies organization in 2011. Over six big-league seasons, Story has slashed .272/.340/.523 with 158 homers and 100 steals in 745 games. He […]

Jonnu Smith Limited Again Tuesday

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (shoulder) was listed as limited in practice for the second straight day on Tuesday. Smith suffered a shoulder injury in Week 9 and missed the Week 10 blowout win over the Cleveland Browns, but it looks like he might have a chance to return on Thursday night against […]

Kevin Cash Named AL Manager Of The Year Again

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash took home the American League Manager of the Year Award Tuesday. He received 19 first-place votes, finishing ahead of Seattle's Scott Servais and Houston's Dusty Baker. Cash has now won the award in consecutive seasons, becoming the first manager since Bobby Cox in 2004 and 2005 to accomplish the […]

Gabe Kapler Named NL Manager Of The Year

San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler was announced as the National League's Manager of the Year Tuesday. Milwaukee's Craig Counsell and St. Louis's Mike Shildt finished second and third. Kapler led San Francisco to the best record in the majors this season, and his 107 wins were the highest in franchise history, considerably better than […]

Ryan Ellis Placed On Injured Reserve

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ryan Ellis (lower body) was placed on Injured Reserve, the team announced on Tuesday. The veteran blue-liner returned from a lower-body injury in Saturday's 5-2 loss against Dallas but got hurt again and is considered week-to-week. Ellis posted an assist on Saturday before re-injuring himself and has actually bagged a point in […]

Red Sox Showing Interest In Javier Baez

The Boston Red Sox are among many teams showing interest in free-agent middle infielder Javier Baez after he finished strong with the New York Mets in 2021. Xander Bogaerts is entrenched as Boston's starting shortstop, but his defense has been a weak spot. Bogaerts also has the option of opting out of his contract after […]

James Reimer Gets The Nod On Tuesday

San Jose Sharks goaltender James Reimer will pick up his seventh start of the season in Tuesday's matchup against Minnesota. The 33-year-old has been strong for San Jose and boasts a 3-2-1 record for the season with a 1.82 goals-against average and a fantastic .940 save percentage. Reimar has, however, gone cold lately with back-to-back […]

49ers Waive Dre Kirkpatrick Tuesday

The San Francisco 49ers waived cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, the team could open linebacker Dre Greenlaw's (groin) 21-day practice window to return from Injured Reserve. After signing with San Francisco on Sept. 14 and playing in six games (one start), Kirkpatrick managed six tackles. The 32-year-old miss the dominant win […]

John Gibson Heads Out For Seventh Straight Victory

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson will be hunting for his seventh straight win in Tuesday's home game against Washington. Troy Terry is suddenly looking like an MVP candidate with the Ducks blowing away teams and Gibson has enjoyed the ride, improving to 8-2-2 for the season. He has posted a 2.37 goals-against average with a […]

Jason Day Not Worth The Risk At The RSM Classic

Jason Day can make a ton of birdies, but can he avoid trouble on the island courses this weekend? That is a huge question mark. Day is averaging 4.5 birdies per round and probably can make more. However, his accuracy on greens and fairways are both outside the top 150. That is not going to […]

Bud Dupree Considered Day-To-Day

Tennessee Titans pass-rusher Bud Dupree (abdomen) is considered day-to-day but is still undergoing testing to determine the severity of the injury that he suffered in the Week 10 win over the New Orleans Saints. There's a chance that Dupree misses some time, but there's no firm timetable for him right now. The outside linebacker played […]

Antti Raanta Gets Back Into Action On Tuesday

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Antti Raanta will make his third appearance of the season on Tuesday against Vegas. The Finnish netminder beat Chicago in his first start of the campaign at the end of last month and has made a relief appearance in a 5-2 loss to Florida on Nov. 6. He suffered a concussion in […]

Russell Henley One To Watch At The RSM Classic

Russell Henley had that awful third round at the Mayakoba but largely has had a good Fall Tour. That culminated in a tied for seventh last week in Houston. If he had made a few more putts coming in to the back 9 on Sunday, Henley might have had a shot at winning. The key […]

Packers Work Out Kerryon Johnson

The Green Bay Packers worked out former Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson on Tuesday. The Packers are in need of some running back depth with Aaron Jones (knee) expected to miss one to two weeks after suffering an MCL sprain in the Week 10 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Johnson was active for one […]

Jake Oettinger Makes His Season Debut Tuesday Night

Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger will be the man between the pipes in Tuesday's meeting against Detroit, logging his season debut. The 22-year-old is getting a chance because Anton Khudobin isn't feeling 100 percent and Braden Holtby is battling a minor lower-body injury and is day-to-day. Oettinger had a good year last season with an […]

Brian Harman Not Recommended At The RSM Classic

Brian Harman has been largely disappointing on the tour this fall. He has missed the cut in two tournaments and still finished outside the top 50 in two others. Sure, Harman can shoot amazing rounds at any time. However, the two weekends he made the cut, the American was very ordinary and shot at or […]

Matt Kuchar Could Approach Top 20 At The RSM Classic

Matt Kuchar has been gradually improving every week on the Fall Tour. He has finished in the top 40 for all three tournaments so far. That culminated in a tied for 22nd at the Mayakoba a couple of weeks ago. The key for Kuchar was his consistency. He shot all four rounds in the 60's […]

Richard Sherman To Miss A Few Weeks With Calf Strain

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Richard Sherman's (calf) MRI exam showed a Grade 2 calf strain that he suffered in pre-game warmups before the Week 10 loss to the Washington Football Team, and he will miss a few weeks, according to a source. The 33-year-old defensive back has managed to play in just three games for […]

Jonathan Marchessault Placed In COVID-19 Protocol

Vegas Golden Knights forward Jonathan Marchessault will miss his first game of the season on Tuesday against Carolina after he was added to the COVID-19 list. The Golden Knights can't catch a break this season and are forced to play at half-strength time and time again. Things were already looking on the up when Mark […]

Charles Howell III Needs To Make More Birdies At RSM Classic

Charles Howell III has had some interesting issues on the golf course this Fall season. The 75 at the Shriner's was one thing but the 69-70 at Mayakoba amplified his issues with making enough putts. Consider that at the RSM Classic, the lowest score under par since 2015 was -17. Howell III is making just […]

Greg Zuerlein Expected To Return In Week 11

The Dallas Cowboys expect kicker Greg Zuerlein to return from the Reserve/COVID-19 list and play in Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, they will keep Lirim Hajrullahu around after he made all five of his extra points in the Week 10 win over the Atlanta Falcons while filling in for Zuerlein last Sunday. […]

Torey Krug Returns For Blues On Tuesday

St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug will be back in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against Arizona. The 30-year-old rearguard returns after a five-game absence while in the league's COVID-19 protocols. The Blues have won just once without Krug and played very well with him in the lineup, so the former Bruin has been sorely […]

Chris Kirk May Have Some Upside At The RSM Classic

Chris Kirk has had some issues the past two tournaments on the weekends. It is not where he shoots very poorly but just not well. The ZOZO Championship saw him shoot a 70-71-74 and then a 73-70-71 at the Mayakoba. The first round is not the problem for Kirk but accuracy has become troublesome increasingly […]

Joe Harris Will Miss A Few Games

Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris (ankle) is expected to miss a few games, according to head coach Steve Nash. He has already been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. There is a good chance that he sits out the rest of the week. Patty Mills should see an increase in playing […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Limited Tuesday

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice. Patterson was also listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report, and fantasy managers should consider him questionable to play on Thursday night against the New England Patriots to kick off Week 11. Along with Patterson, tight end Hayden […]

Justin Rose May Hang Around A Bit At The RSM Classic

Justin Rose has played OK in the past few weeks, but OK is just not good enough. Finishing outside the top 30 and just missing a bunch of putts is less than optimal. Expect more of the same to continue at The RSM Classic. The problem is Rose just cannot string enough holes together to […]
