Through 46 games this year, Ramirez is slashing .255/.342/.539 with 12 home runs, six stolen bases, 26 RBI and 32 runs. He ranks […]

Juan Soto Posting Career-Best 11.8% Strikeout Rate

Washington Nationals star outfielder Juan Soto hasn't been generating the power numbers we've seen in recent years so far in 2021. Through 34 games, he has a .413 slugging percentage and only four home runs. He has a career slugging percentage of .543 and posted a career-high slugging percentage of .695 last year. However, despite […]

Jacob deGrom Strikes Out Nine In Return Tuesday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (side) struck out nine in a 3-1 win over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday in his return from the injured list. The two-time Cy Young winner gave up just a solo home run in his five innings of work while allowing three total hits. deGrom hit 100 mph […]

Hello RotoBallers and thank you very much for joining me for the 2021 Charles Schwab Challenge!

Sixto Sanchez To Throw Bullpen Session In The Coming Days

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sixto Sanchez (arm) is set to throw a bullpen session at some point in the next few days, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.

Deshaun Watson Won't Be Deposed Until 2022

In the ongoing legal case against Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, he can't be deposed before Feb. 22, 2022. Watson's case could play out well into the 2021 regular season, with depositions to begin in September. The 22 women suing Watson for alleged sexual assault will be deposed before Watson. According to his attorney, Rusty […]

Cody Bellinger Remains On Track To Return This Weekend

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger (leg) remains on track to return for this weekend's series against the San Francisco Giants, per manager Dave Roberts. Bellinger has been out since the beginning of April with a hairline fracture in his left leg, though he has progressed to the point where he's participating- and playing […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (5/26/21): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

Just one game on Wednesday, and it's a late-night affair as the Aces visit the Phoenix Mercury. I'll be trying out a new article structure today and going forward (probably), focusing on breaking down each game on the slate instead of just providing some lineup picks. We'll end up talking about more than six players, […]

Jed Lowrie Sitting Wednesday

Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie is getting the day off Wednesday. Lowrie was off to a red-hot start in April, riding a seven-game hitting streak at one point, though he has since cooled off to the tune of a .249 average. Tony Kemp will get the start at second and bat seventh.

Jose Iglesias Not In Wednesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Jose Iglesias (hamstring) is not in Wednesday's lineup for the game against the Texas Rangers. Iglesias was forced to exit Tuesday's game with a cramp in his hamstring, though he is currently being considered day-to-day, so it doesn't sound like anything serious. The 31-year-old is having a solid campaign, batting .283 […]

Kevin Kisner In Perfect Situation To Rebound At Colonial 

Kevin Kisner is going through a very tough stretch right now, with only one made cut since the Players Championship. However, Colonial might be the perfect place for Kisner to get back on track. Kisner is the 2017 champion at Colonial and finished in the top 30 in the event last season. Kisner also hits […]

David Dahl Could Be Dealing With Fractured Rib

Texas Rangers outfielder David Dahl (rib) could be dealing with a somewhat serious injury. Dahl was held out of Wednesday's lineup after crashing into the wall during Tuesday's game, with manager Chris Woodward saying he was dealing with soreness. Woodward said there's now some concern that the veteran outfielder is dealing with a fractured rib, […]

Doc Redman Risky But Playable At Colonial 

Doc Redman comes into the Charles Schwab Classic off his best finish of the 2021 calendar year. Redman finished T9 at the AT&T Byron Nelson two weeks ago and returns to Texas looking to build off that finish. So far on tour this season, Redman sits inside the top 60 in driving accuracy, hitting more […]

Cameron Champ Not Worth The Risk At Colonial

Cameron Champ has a very appealing DFS price this week at the Charles Schwab Classic, but he should be left unrostered. Champ has hit well under 60% of fairways so far in 2021 -- 57.98% to be exact -- good enough for 136th-best. Pairing that with sitting 213th out of 216 qualifiers in strokes gained […]

Sergio Garcia Should Be Left In The DFS Lobby At Colonial 

Sergio Garcia extended his missed-cut streak to four this past week at the PGA Championship. In all four events, Garcia has had a round of 75. It's pretty hard to make a cut that way. Garcia sits 110th in driving accuracy on the tour this season, and he only hit 50% of fairways last week […]

Dean Kremer Optioned To The Minors

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dean Kremer was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday. Kremer struggled this season for Baltimore, pitching to a 6.87 ERA, including three straight starts with a home run allowed. The 25-year-old has shown flashes of strong play in the majors, pitching to a 2.76 FIP last season with 10.6 strikeouts per […]

Ryan Palmer A Major Boom-Or-Bust Candidate At Colonial

No one will be more excited when the month of May is over than Ryan Palmer. Palmer came into May with nothing worse than a T34 finish since February. However, in Palmer's three starts in May, his best finish is a T47 at the AT&T Byron Nelson. In his last seven starts at Colonial, Palmer […]

Justin Rose Has Major Upside At Colonial 

Justin Rose, the 2017 champion at Colonial, returns in 2021 in incredible form. Rose has top-11 finishes in three of his last four starts, including a T8 at the PGA Championship last week. Although Rose's stats are down across the board, he still hits over 60% of fairways and is ninth on the tour in […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Says Carson Wentz Is On A Mission

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. said that new quarterback Carson Wentz "is on a mission" to prove that his disastrous final season with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020 was an aberration. Pittman was also impressed by Wentz's arm strength during one of their throwing sessions. "But I can just tell that he's so […]

Austin Hays Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Hays felt tightness in his left hamstring over the weekend and missed Monday's game, though it was believed to be a day-to-day issue. He'll need more time to recover, but it will hopefully be a minimum stint on the injured […]

Jimmy Garoppolo's Ankle Feels Great

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) said that his ankle feels great after landing on Injured Reserve last season. He also stated that he's in "attack" mode after the team used the No. 3 overall pick on quarterback Trey Lance in last month's draft. "Really hasn't been a bother since I can't remember when," […]

Yadier Molina Not In Wednesday's Lineup

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina is taking a seat on the bench for Wednesday's day game against the Chicago White Sox. Molina is 4-for-14 with a double and a home run in his last four games. Andrew Knizner will be behind the plate for the Cardinals batting sixth against White Sox lefty Carlos Rodon.

Weekend Rehab Assignment Now Unlikely For Byron Buxton

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) was believed to be progressing well enough that a rehab assignment would be on tap this weekend. That is likely no longer the case, as Buxton is still having trouble decelerating, per manager Rocco Baldelli. It sounds like Buxton is close, though the Twins don't want to push him […]

Taijuan Walker Throws Simulated Game, Expected Back Soon

New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker (side) threw a simulated game on Tuesday and is expected back without a rehab start, according to Anthony DiComo. Walker left his start last week with side tightness and landed on the 10-day injured list. Based on reports, it sounds like the injury is minor and Walker should […]

Josh Donaldson Getting A Breather Wednesday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Donaldson is getting a breather in the midst of a 2-for-23 slide at the plate. Hopefully, the day off can serve as a reset button for the veteran, as he was hitting well at the plate earlier […]

Davante Adams, Other Receivers Missing At OTAs

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard, Devin Funchess and Equanimeous St. Brown were all missing during organized team activities on Tuesday. Second-year quarterback Jordan Love, who wasn't active for a single game during his rookie season, had to work with a makeshift wide receiver crew as a result. It's definitely […]

Keegan Akin To Start Sunday For Orioles

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Keegan Akin will replace Dean Kremer in the Orioles rotation and start Sunday against the White Sox. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Kremer will head back to the minors to work on things in a low-pressure situation. Akin is a former second-round pick who showed promise in the minors as he […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. To Miss Start Of The Season

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (knee) recently had surgery to fix a torn meniscus, according to sources. Wilson is expected to be out for four to six months, which means that he will not be available for the start of the 2021 regular season. It's obviously bad news for Wilson, but the […]

Optimism Surrounding Corey Kluber's Injury

There is optimism about New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber's (shoulder) situation, as he only reported tightness in his shoulder after leaving his start early on Tuesday night against the Toronto Blue Jays. The MRI exam that he will have on Wednesday is viewed as precautionary. Of course, the big fear hear is that […]
