Louis Oosthuizen Looks to Continue His Strong Recent Form

In Louis Oosthuizen's last eight starts, he's finished eighth, second, 18th, second, third, and second. Three of those top-threes were at major championships. Oosthuizen is in the midst of an unbelievable stretch of golf, and it's hard to tell whether he's either the most confident player in the field right now, or all of the […]

Ish Smith Heading To Charlotte

Guard Ish Smith agreed to a one-year deal with the Hornets on Tuesday night. The 33-year-old will now be suiting up for his 11th NBA team, although his role likely won't change despite the change of scenery. He averaged 6.7 points, 3.9 assists, and 3.4 rebounds off the bench in Washington during the 2020-21 campaign, […]

Paul Casey Looks to Build Momentum From Strong Olympic Performance

Paul Casey is coming off a fourth-place finish last week at the Olympics. As we have come to expect from the Englishman, Casey was elite on approach, and since he putted above field average, he contended. Despite zero top-20 finishes at TPC Southwind in three appearances, the eighteen-time worldwide winner does make a ton of […]

Having his nine-fight unbeaten streak snapped in his last outing, Yadong Song (16-5-1) will look to get the horse back on track as he opens up the main card of UFC 265 on Saturday against Casey Kenney. Three of Song's five UFC wins have come by finish with two of those in the first round. […]

Marc Gasol To Return For Another Season

Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasol will return for the 2021-22 campaign. Although the 36-year-old is a ways away from his glory days in Memphis, the veteran has a higher ceiling now than in previous seasons, primarily after the departures of Montrezl Harrell and Andre Drummond. Gasol averaged only 5.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.1 […]

Tommy Fleetwood is a Risky Play at the WGC- FedEx St. Jude

While Tommy Fleetwood does own a fourth-place finish at TPC Southwind in 2019, the 2021 iteration of Fleetwood may not be in store for a similar result. For the better part of two years now, the Englishman has been an average to slightly below average ball-striker. He has not recorded a top-five finish on the […]

DeMar DeRozan Traded To The Bulls

The Spurs and Bulls agreed on a sign-and-trade deal that will send DeMar DeRozan to the Windy City in exchange for Al-Farouq Aminu, Thaddeus Young, and some picks.

Adam Scott needs to play well in Memphis to keep season alive

Sitting at 123rd in the FedEx Cup Standings, Adam Scott needs to make a move if he wants to extend his season into the playoffs. While the motivation is certainly there, I have a hard time getting behind Scott given his recent form. The former Masters champion has been putting incredibly, gaining over two strokes […]

Brooks Koepka Looks to Improve on Strong Memphis Record

Quite simply, Brooks Koepka owns this tournament. In seven appearances at TPC Southwind, Koepka has four top-three finishes. Koepka succeeds at this course because he is an excellent wedge player and he pounds greens in regulation at an elite rate, ranking top-12 in this field in strokes gained approach, proximity from 125-150 yards, and greens […]

Kyle Pitts Impresses At Training Camp Tuesday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts had an impressive day Tuesday during the team's first padded practice. Pitts made an incredible leaping catch for a score at practice, showing off both his ability to make contested catches as well as his concentration. Contested catches are nothing new for the 20-year-old, as he led all 2021 […]

Adam Frazier Out Of Tuesday's Lineup

San Diego Padres second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Oakland Athletics. The 29-year-old is just 4-for-25 (.160 average) since joining the Padres and will take a seat against A's southpaw Sean Manaea despite a .812 OPS versus lefties. Infielder Jake Cronenworth will stake his normal claim at second base while […]

Dustin Johnson Looks to Secure His Third Victory in Memphis

While Dustin Johnson does not enter this tournament riding particularly strong form, his history at this event is hard to ignore. In seven appearances at TPC Southwind, Johnson has never finished worse than 24th, and he claimed victory in both 2012 and 2018. The two-time major champion's success at TPC Southwind should come as a […]

Jorge Mateo Designated For Assignment

The San Diego Padres designated utilityman Jorge Mateo for assignment Tuesday. The move makes way for reliever Matt Strahm's (knee) activation from the 60-day IL. Mateo had played sparingly with the Friars, tallying a .572 OPS with two homers and five steals in 93 plate appearances. Once a highly touted prospect for the Oakland A's […]

Calvin Ridley Says Foot Is 'Definitely Fixed' Following Offseason Surgery

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley told reporters that his foot is "totally, definitely fixed" at training camp Tuesday. Ridley played through the injury last season, asserting his status as one of the league's best wideouts with a 90-catch, 1,374-yard, nine-touchdown season. The Falcons are understandably working him into camp slowly, as he is now […]

Adalberto Mondesi To Begin A Rehab Assignment Tuesday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (oblique) is set to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday. Mondesi has been out since June 20 with a strained left oblique and he has managed to play just 10 games this year due to multiple injuries. Royals GM Dane Moore dropped a meteor on fantasy […]

Jacob deGrom Confident He'll Pitch Again This Year

On Tuesday, New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) spoke to reporters for the first time since he had been shut down from throwing.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (groin) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Patrick Corbin and the Washington Nationals.

Twins Release Matt Shoemaker

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker was released from the club. Shoemaker was a low-risk signing this past offseason, though it certainly didn't work out the way the Twins or potential fantasy investors hoped, as he recorded a career-worst 8.03 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 60 1/3 innings. The veteran righty did rebound to pitch […]
