Trey Mancini Exits Game Monday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini (calf/foot) exited Monday's 9-2 loss to the Rays in the eighth inning after fouling pitches off of his calf and foot.

Hideki Matsuyama Motivated to Bounce Back at Liberty National

The Wyndham Championships were not kind to Hideki Matsuyama. He shot 69-69 and did not make the cut. This should not be a problem at The Northern Trust this week. Matsuyama will need to make some putts early. He sometimes gets in funks like that. His ball-striking and shot-making around the green ranks 11th at […]

Matthew Fitzpatrick Must Avoid Unforced Errors at Liberty National

Matthew Fitzpatrick has had his bubble burst on the weekends of late and particularly on Sundays.

That knocked Fitzpatrick out of a […]

Matt Chapman Homers In Third-Straight Game Monday At Chicago

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in a loss to the White Sox on Monday.

Pete Alonso Drives In Two On Monday

On Monday, New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run triple in the Mets 7-5 loss to the San Francisco Giants.

Frankie Montas Labors In Loss To White Sox

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Frankie Montas allowed three runs across five innings to drop his record to 9-9 with a loss to the White Sox on Monday.

Daniel Berger Intriguing for This Week's The Northern Trust

Daniel Berger has been in some nice form of late. That includes three top ten results in his last four tournaments entered.

Justin Thomas Needs To Find Putter At Liberty National

Despite a huge victory at The Players Championship in March, it feels as though Justin Thomas has disappointed in 2021. He failed to log a top-10 finish in any of the year's major championships and hasn't truly contended for a victory in months.
