The Bigger Picture - Searching for Second-Half Splits

Beau Hossler Looking To Build On Late Season Charge

Beau Hossler has started playing some solid golf in the back half of the PGA Tour season. In his last three starts, Hossler has recorded a finish no worse than T25, which came last week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Hossler gained strokes on the green in two of those three events, and hit well […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Exits Early On Wednesday

San Francisco Giants first baseman/outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (hand) left Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals early with a left-hand sprain. It's unclear when Wade Jr. sustained the injury but he was 0-for-1 with two walks and a run scored before being replaced by Darin Ruf. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Reportedly Frustrated In Golden State

Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has recently expressed his frustration with his current team. With Steve Kerr indicating that he views Oubre in a role outside of the starting lineup, his days in the Bay Area could be officially over. The 25-year-old will enter free agency this offseason and has recently been linked […]

Anthony Edwards Suffers Ankle Injury

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Anthony Edwards (ankle) was injured during Wednesday's practice against Team USA. Edwards, who was playing for the Select Team, avoided anything severe and was diagnosed with a sprained ankle, which will keep him out for the rest of the Summer. With training camps starting in just a few short months, the 19-year-old […]

Jorge Soler Scores In Wednesday's Loss

Kansas City Royals designated hitter/outfielder Jorge Soler went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in a 5-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. Soler reached base via a force out in the fourth inning and came around to score off of a Michael A. Taylor single in the same frame. The 29-year-old […]

Kevin Love Likely Done In Cleveland

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love may have already played his final season with the team. The veteran, who has battled injuries over the years, averaged just 12.2 points and 7.4 rebounds during the 2020-21 campaign. The Cavs are likely to explore trade opportunities this offseason, but with two years and $60 million left on his […]

Keston Hiura Does Very Little On Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Keston Hiura went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the New York Mets. Hiura started at first base and hit seventh against Jacob deGrom in game 1. He went hitless with a strikeout over his first two at-bats before the recently acquired Rowdy Tellez pinch-hit for […]

Garrett Cooper Hits Two Home Runs On Wednesday

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper was outstanding in Wednesday's win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Cooper went 3-for-3 with a walk, two home runs, and a single. He drove in two runs and scored two of his own, all on his pair of solo shots. It was the first multi-homer game for Cooper, who […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Not On The Injury Report

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) isn't listed on the league's official injury report ahead of Game 2 of the NBA Finals. The Freak hyperextended his left knee during the Eastern Conference Finals against the Hawks. However, after he was initially listed as doubtful for Game 1 against Phoenix, he managed to suit up, finishing […]

Whit Merrifield Goes Hitless In Defeat

Kansas City Royals second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield went 0-for-5 with a strikeout in a 5-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. Merrifield and the Royals couldn't get much done against Reds starter Sonny Gray as they mustered just two runs on eight hits as a team. Merrifield has been slumping over his last seven […]

Dario Saric Out Indefinitely

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (knee) is out indefinitely. Saric suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during Game 1 of the NBA Finals. His status for the regular season, which begins in October, is currently up in the air, although it wouldn't be surprising if he weren't available. Throughout 50 games of 2020-21 […]

Anthony Bender Earns His First Win

Miami Marlins rookie relief pitcher Anthony Bender picked up his first major league win in Wednesday's win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. More important than the win was the fact that Bender was used as the closer, coming into a one-run lead in the ninth inning. Yimi Garcia has been closing for the Marlins for […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Smacks Homer In Blowout Victory

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. has been overshadowed due to how well some of the young stars in the game are playing right now. However, Acuna should not be overlooked and continues to show his excellence. He went 3-for-5 with a home run, one RBI, and one walk in the win over the Pittsburgh […]

J.T. Realmuto Picks Up A Pair Of Hits In Loss

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto went 2-for-4 with a run scored in an 8-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. Realmuto singled and scored off of a Bryce Harper double in the top of the sixth inning. He picked up another single in the contest as well. He now has two multi-hit performances in […]

J.D. Martinez Triples And Scores A Run

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez hit a triple Wednesday, a rare feat for the slugger who is not generally regarded as being fleet of foot. It was his only hit in three at-bats, though he also walked and scored a run in a loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Martinez now has three […]

Drew Smyly Escapes Trouble In Victory

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Drew Smyly was not sharp on Wednesday but pitched well enough to help get the win for his team. He tossed five innings, allowing nine hits, three earned runs, three walks and four strikeouts. Smyly was able to limit the damage, but this was obviously a below-average outing for him. He'll […]
