Nate Lashley Won't Be A Factor In Detroit

Nate Lashley, the inaugural Rocket Mortgage Classic champion, returns to Detroit Country Club looking for the same magic he found in 2019. However, that is unlikely. Lashley is losing strokes off the tee, on approach, in his putting and from tee to green so far this season. Lashley only gains strokes around the green, which […]

Willie Mack III Looking To Make First Career PGA Tour Cut

Willie Mack III will be making his third PGA Tour start of the season this week in Detroit, still looking for his first made cut. Mack missed the cut at both the Farmers Insurance Open and Genesis Invitational, but those were tough golf courses. This week in Detroit, Mack won't see a course as tough […]

Daniel Hudson Throws A Bullpen Wednesday

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Daniel Hudson (elbow) threw a successful bullpen session on Wednesday. Hudson initially landed on the injured list on June 12 with more right elbow issues. But before his injury, he was very good out of the Nationals bullpen, posting a 2.59 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 35/7 K/BB in 24 1/3 relief […]

Blue Jays Looking At Richard Rodriguez

The Toronto Blue Jays are among the teams looking at Pittsburgh Pirates closer Richard Rodriguez with the July trade deadline approaching.

Rafael Dolis, Ryan Borucki, Julian Merryweather, David Phelps and Kirby Yates are all currently […]

Jarren Duran Has Two-Homer Game In The Minors

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran, MLB's No. 86 prospect, had his third two-home run game and went 2-for-4 with four RBI on Tuesday for Triple-A Worcester.

Kyle Stanley Trending In The Right Direction

Kyle Stanley is hitting the ball incredibly well right now. The Clemson product has gained strokes off the tee in seven consecutive starts, and he is coming off a week at the Travelers Championship where he gained 6.8 strokes on approach. The only issue is the flat stick. Over his last 36 rounds, Stanley ranks […]

Vidal Brujan Reaches Base Five Times Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Vidal Brujan, baseball's No. 36 overall prospect, went 3-for-3 with two doubles and two walks to reach base five times on Tuesday night with Triple-A Durham.

Mychal Givens Set For Rehab Appearances

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Mychal Givens (back) will pitch in rehab games with Triple-A Albuquerque this Thursday and Saturday.

The right-hander was performing well before being sidelined on June 17 with a lower back strain, […]

Brendon Todd Presents Great Value This Week

Detroit Golf Club is a nice fit for Brendon Todd. Over his last 36 rounds, the University of Georgia product ranks ninth in strokes gained putting, seventh in proximity from 100-125 yards and 11th in par-four scoring (400-450 yards). Todd always does his best work in easy scoring conditions, as all three of his PGA […]

Colorado Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland (hamstring), who left his start on Monday with a right hamstring cramp, is throwing at 120 feet and is working to make his next start on Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals.

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 […]

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.

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, […]

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.

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.

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 […]
