Kenley Jansen Coming Off A Dreadful Month Of July

July was a month to forget for Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen. He converted just two of his five save opportunities in the month and posted an ugly 9.39 ERA over 7.2 innings.

Cameron Davis Third Rounds Lately Offer Some Worry

Harris English Reasonable DFS Option at Memphis

Harris English did have an up and down tournament at The Open a few weeks ago. However, that 68 on Sunday may be a springboard for better things at TPC Southwind this week.
