Nelson Cruz Returning To Lineup Wednesday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (knee) will rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees.

The veteran […]

Kyle Garlick Headed To Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder Kyle Garlick (hernia) is headed to the injured list with a sports hernia.

Brooks Koepka Makes Sense At Congaree

In theory, Brooks Koepka should excel at Congaree this week. Koepka is very long off the tee, averaging 308.2 yards per drive, and sits inside the top 20 in strokes gained off the tee. However, we have seen Koepka struggle when he isn't playing in a big-time event. On the season, Koepka has only made […]

He isn't the longest off the tee, averaging only 290.7 yards per drive, but he gains .168 strokes off […]
