Franmil Reyes Homers Wednesday Night

Cleveland Indians outfielder and designated hitter Franmil Reyes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Texas Rangers. The home run from Reyes was nice to see as he has hit just three in August while also posting just a .600 OPS. He has been a source […]

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) is reportedly feeling good heading into the 2021-22 season, crediting his offseason fitness regimen.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (leg) was removed from the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs in the bottom of the 10th inning after aggravating "a leg injury of some kind," according to manager Bud Black.

Stewart Cink Has Value At BMW Championship

Stewart Cink got back on track last week with his first top-25 finish since his win at the RBC Heritage in April. That was Cink's second win on the PGA Tour season, the main reason his Tour Championship spot is safe this week. However, Cink has great DFS value this week. His very cheap DFS […]

Texas Rangers outfielder Jason Martin was the only source of offensive production for this lineup on Wednesday. He went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in the 7-2 loss to the Cleveland Indians.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jake Latz did not produce an ideal MLB debut versus the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday. He went 4 2/3 innings, five hits allowed, three earned runs, and four strikeouts in the 7-2 loss. All of the runs charged to Latz were done by the long ball on Wednesday. He gave up […]
