Brandon Lowe Absent From Wednesday’s Lineup

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Nationals. The 26-year-old will get the day off after homering in back-to-back games. He's slashing .205/.316/.426 with 16 homers, 38 RBI, 41 runs scored and four stolen bases across 307 plate appearances in 2021. Lowe provides decent power, but his 107 WRC+ […]

Harold Varner A Decent Option At Detroit Golf Club

While fantasy managers should be dubious of Harold Varner's elite upside, he does deserve at least some consideration based on last week's ball-striking performance. The East Carolina product gained 6.9 strokes on approach at the Travelers Championship, good for his best performance of the 2021 season. With rankings of 12th in opportunities gained and fifth […]

Kyle Schwarber Won't Take Part In Home Run Derby

Washington Nationals outfielder Kyle Schwarber won't take part in this year's Home Run Derby despite hitting another leadoff home run on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Schwarber is tied for the National League lead in home runs with 25. The 28-year-old now has an absurd 16 home runs in the month of June, giving […]

Austin Meadows On The Bench Wednesday

Tampa Rays outfielder Austin Meadows isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Nationals. He's starting to heat up and is currently on a four-game hitting streak. Meadows is hitting .412 (7-for-17) with two extra-base hits and two RBI during the streak. The 26-year-old outfielder is slashing .239/.328/.484 with 16 homers, 54 RBI, 48 runs scored, […]

Colin Moran Still Absent Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Colin Moran (wrist) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies. Moran has been out since being hit by a pitch on his left wrist on Monday, but he's likely to be available off the bench on Wednesday, if needed. Phillip Evans will once again replace Moran […]

Nico Hoerner Could Return This Weekend

Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner's (hamstring) rehab has been going well, according to manager David Ross. There's a chance that Hoerner could come off the injured list during the team's weekend series against the Cincinnati Reds. The 24-year-old is scheduled to play on Thursday at Triple-A Iowa before the team decides if he needs […]

Ryan Thompson Placed On The 10-Day Injured List

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Thompson was placed on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. The move is retroactive to June 28. He owned a 2.38 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and a 37:9 K: BB across 34 innings before landing on the injured list. Thompson is more valuable in league formats which reward solds […]

Matthew Wolff A High-Risk, High-Reward Play

While Matthew Wolff looked fantastic two weeks ago at the U.S. Open, he was awful last week at the Travelers Championship. Many young players of Wolff's caliber are prone to swings of volatility, but the Oklahoma State product can be particularly fickle. From a course-fit standpoint, Wolff sets up great for Detroit Golf Club, as […]

Kolten Wong Remains Out On Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong (calf) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs. It's his fourth straight missed game while dealing with a left calf issue, but Wong's injury isn't expected to land him on the injured list. There's a good chance that he'll be able to return to […]

Harrison Bader Could Return During Road Trip

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader (rib) could return for the upcoming four-game road trip starting July 1 against the Cardinals. "There is hope Bader joins the team in Colorado," said manager Mike Shildt. He will undergo further evaluation in St. Louis on Wednesday to determine his status for this weekend's series. The 27-year-old went […]

Gary Woodland Could Contend At Detroit Golf Club

Detroit Golf Club should be a nice fit for Gary Woodland. Two of his best results this season -- a 14th-place finish at the Charles Schwab and a fifth-place finish at the Wells Fargo -- have both come on classical, tree-lined golf courses. Naturally, fantasy managers may presume that Woodland is better suited for a […]

Eloy Jimenez Progressing Well In Rehab

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (pectoral) is progressing well in his rehab and is expected to return in August. He was cleared to begin baseball activities two weeks ago at the White Sox's training facility. The 24-year-old has been sidelined all season after undergoing surgery earlier this spring to repair a torn pectoral muscle. […]

Damien Harris The No. 1 In New England?

ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss said on Sirius XM NFL Radio that he views New England Patriots running back Damien Harris as the team's "decisive" No. 1 back heading into the 2021 season. Harris and Sony Michel are expected to be some sort of one-two combination in New England's backfield, but Michel has really disappointed so […]

Bubba Watson Coming Off A Disappointing Collapse

Last week at the Travelers Championship, Bubba Watson held the lead late on Sunday afternoon before bogeying his final five holes to fall all the way down to 19th place on the leaderboard. Watson is a seasoned veteran, and fantasy managers should not be concerned about scar tissue, yet with that being said, Detroit Golf […]

Will Zalatoris Looks To Regain Form At Detroit Golf Club

Will Zalatoris has cooled off from his torrid start to the 2021 season with a 59th-place finish and a missed cut in his last two appearances. The Wake Forest product's struggles have come primarily on the greens, as Zalatoris has now lost strokes putting in five consecutive starts. On a course where putting is so […]

Jose Lobaton Lands On 60-Day Injured List

The Chicago Cubs have placed catcher Jose Lobaton (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list with a right shoulder sprain. Lobaton injured his shoulder when he went down hard running through first base in the bottom of the ninth inning on Tuesday. Lobaton was hitless in 11 at-bats this season. The Cubs are now onto their […]

A.J. Brown Still Recovering From Offseason Surgeries

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knees) was not able to take the field for offseason workouts after having offseason surgery on both of his knees, but he remains focused on getting healthy for the 2021 season. Brown had his second straight 1,000-yard season in 2020 and was named to the Pro Bowl after catching […]

Max Meyer Named To The Futures Game Roster

Miami Marlins top pitching prospect Max Meyer was named to the MLB Futures Game roster on Wednesday. Meyer will be the only Marlins representative at the Futures Game, and is the first player drafted by the Marlins to make the team since Brian Anderson in 2017. Meyer was the third overall pick in the 2020 […]

Kris Bryant Sits For Second Straight Game

Chicago Cubs infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant (side) will miss his second consecutive game versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. Bryant sat out on Tuesday with side soreness and the injury continues to linger. Bryant got off to a nice start this season, but has been in a major slump during the month of June. The upcoming […]

Cameron Tringale Sets Up Perfectly For Detroit Golf Club

Cameron Tringale has finished in fifth place and 30th place in two appearances at Detroit Golf Club, and fantasy managers should expect the Georgia Tech product to continue his strong play in Michigan. Tringale is an incredible wedge player, ranking 10th in proximity from 75-100 yards and 22nd in proximity from 100-125 yards over his […]

Ryan Ramczyk Receives Big Five-Year Extension

The New Orleans Saints signed All-Pro right tackle Ryan Ramczyk to a five-year, $96 million contract extension on Wednesday, according to sources. Ramczyk will receive $19.2 million per season. The deal will take him through the 2026 season and will make him the new highest-paid right tackle in the league. The 27-year-old was an All-Pro […]

Justin Wilson Activated On Wednesday

The New York Yankees activated relief pitcher Justin Wilson (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday and optioned reliever Albert Abreu to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Wilson has been sidelined for over a month with a hamstring strain and had a rough 6.08 ERA over 15 outings before the injury, so the […]

Anthony Rizzo Hopes To Be Back In A Couple Days

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) said that his back is doing better and that he's hopeful to return to the lineup "in a couple days." Rizzo is out of the starting lineup once again on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 31-year-old has dealt with similar back issues before, so the Cubs are […]

Webb Simpson Should Be Very Comfortable At Detroit

In his only appearance at Detroit Golf Club, Webb Simpson finished in eighth place while gaining 1.9 strokes off the tee and 4.6 strokes on approach. Simpson's success in Detroit should not come as a surprise, as the former U.S. Open champion has a clear affinity for Donald Ross courses, with six top-10s at the […]

Paul DeJong Resting On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Although DeJong does have 10 home runs on the season, his slash line of .169/.271/.354 leaves a lot to be desired from a fantasy perspective in his 178 at-bats. He also has just eight hits in 54 […]

Patrick Reed A Great Option At Detroit Golf Club

Believe it or not, Patrick Reed is hitting the ball better than he has in years. Last week at the Travelers Championship, the nine-time PGA Tour winner gained four strokes on approach and 2.6 strokes off the tee. This is the third week in a row in which Reed has gained over 3.4 strokes on […]
