Harris English A Viable Option At TPC River Highlands

Harris English is firmly trending in the right direction. The University of Georgia product has made five consecutive cuts, including a 13th-place finish at the Byron Nelson, a 14th-place finish at the Palmetto Championship and a third-place finish last week at the U.S. Open. English recorded his best approach week since the 2019 Sanderson Farms […]

Cleveland Indians right-hander Aaron Civale (finger) will land on the 10-day injured list after he left Monday's start against the Chicago Cubs with soreness in the middle finger of his right hand. With the move, the Tribe's entire Opening Day rotation of Shane Bieber, Zach Plesac, Civale, Logan Allen and Triston McKenzie are either injured […]

Christian Arroyo Remains Out With Bone Bruise

Boston Red Sox utility man Christian Arroyo (shin) is not in the lineup Tuesday. He exited Sunday's contest after sustaining a bone bruise during a collision with teammate Kike Hernandez.

Anthony Santander Sitting Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander (ankle) remains out of the lineup on Tuesday against the Houston Astros.

Paul Casey As Safe As It Gets At Travelers Championship

Paul Casey checks all of the boxes this week. He has an immaculate resume at TPC River Highlands, with no finish worse than 32nd, and four top-fives in six appearances, including two runner-ups. The three-time PGA Tour winner is tops in the entire field in average strokes gained per round at TPC River Highlands. On […]

Hansel Robles Takes The Loss Tuesday

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Hansel Robles struggled in Tuesday's loss to the Cincinnati Reds. Robles entered a tie game in the ninth and put two men on the basepaths after getting an out, then surrendering a three-run homer. It's frustrating, as the former Angel had put together a strong month of June, with a 1.00 […]

Amir Garrett Picks Up Fourth Save

Cincinnati Reds left-handed reliever Amir Garrett picked up just his fourth save of the season on Tuesday when he allowed a hit and struck out one in his inning of work in the 10-7 win over the Minnesota Twins. Lucas Sims blew the lead in the eighth inning, allowing Garrett to enter with a lead […]

Doc Redman Not Worthy Of His Price Tag

With two top-10s in his last four starts, Doc Redman is certainly trending in the right direction. With that being said, fantasy managers should still proceed with caution. Both of his top-10s came in two of the weakest fields of the season, and the Clemson product still ranks 124th in this field in opportunities gained […]

Tyler Naquin Picks Up Four Hits Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds left fielder Tyler Naquin had four hits and reached base safely in all five of his plate appearances in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Minnesota Twins.

Alek Manoah Suspended Five Games

Toronto Blue Jays rookie right-hander Alek Manoah was suspended five games on Tuesday for throwing at Baltimore Orioles third baseman Maikel Franco last Saturday, which triggered a benches-clearing altercation. Manager Charlie Montoyo was suspended for one game, and he will serve it Tuesday against the Miami Marlins. Manoah will appeal his suspension. He gave up […]

Max Scherzer Activated, Starting Against Phillies Tuesday

The Washington Nationals activated starting pitcher Max Scherzer (groin) from the 10-day injured list, and he will start the series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. Scherzer was placed on the injured list last week after tweaking his groin in the first inning of his start on June 11. The three-time Cy Young winner […]

Max Muncy Activated From Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (oblique) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. Muncy had been sidelined the minimum number of days with a right oblique strain. Muncy's return will be a big return for both the Dodgers and managers. Muncy is hitting .264 with 14 home runs and 33 RBI on the […]

Tread Lightly With Matthew Wolff

Fantasy managers will be excited to play Matthew Wolff after he surprised many with his 15th-place finish last week at the U.S. Open, yet they should be wary of an inflated price tag. While it was great to watch Wolff return to competitive action, fantasy managers should exercise patience and save Wolff for a course […]

Joey Lucchesi To Have Tommy John Surgery

New York Mets starting pitcher Joey Lucchesi (elbow) will be heading for Tommy John surgery due to an ulnar collateral ligament tear in his left elbow. This is a rough blow for Lucchesi who will now miss the rest of the 2021 campaign and, most likely, the beginning of the 2022 season. Lucchesi had been […]

Adam Engel Placed On Injured List

The Chicago White Sox placed outfielder Adam Engel (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list prior to their game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday with a strained right hamstring. The move is retroactive to June 20. Outfielder Luis Gonzalez was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. It's the same hamstring that delayed Engel's […]

Miguel Andujar Sitting On Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Miguel Andujar is heading to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Andujar had appeared to win the starting left fielder job from Clint Frazier, though the former has fallen into a 2-for-20 slump at the plate, opening things back up for Frazier. Frazier has two extra-base hits […]

It's Finally Time To Hop Back On Rickie Fowler

After weeks of disappointing fantasy managers, Rickie Fowler is finally beginning to resemble his old self. The five-time PGA Tour winner is coming off back-to-back top-12 finishes on difficult courses in tough fields. In both instances, he gained over 1.6 strokes on approach and over 3.9 strokes putting. This was actually the first time that […]

Gary Sanchez Not In Tuesday's Lineup

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Manager Aaron Boone said he considered starting Sanchez at catcher but ultimately went back to Kyle Higashioka with Gerrit Cole on the mound. Boone did say that the plan is for Sanchez, who has slugged five […]

Michael Conforto Activated From Injured List

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (hamstring) will be activated off of the 10-day injured list on Tuesday.

Michael Kopech Throws Bullpen Session On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech (hamstring) threw off flat ground and also threw a bullpen session on Tuesday. Manager Tony La Russa said that Kopech will throw another bullpen session on Wednesday and it's a possibility that he will throw a simulated game this weekend.

Darren O'Day, Justin Wilson To Begin Rehab Assignments Tuesday

New York Yankees relievers Darren O'Day (shoulder) and Justin Wilson (hamstring) have both been cleared to begin rehab assignments Tuesday. O'Day has been long tossing and getting mound work in while Wilson threw a bullpen session on Sunday. Both players have been sidelined for at least 20 games, so they'll likely require a more lengthy […]

Max Fried Placed On Injured List

Atlanta Braves left-handed pitcher Max Fried (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a blister issue, the team announced on Tuesday. The move is a disappointment for both Braves fans and fantasy managers alike, given that the 27-year-old lefty appeared to be getting better with every start, including his seven-inning performance in Atlanta's […]

Anthony Rizzo Resting On Tuesday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo will receive a rare day off on Tuesday versus the Cleveland Indians. Rizzo has been slumping with just three hits over his last 22 at-bats.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (quadriceps) will bat fifth and play center field in his return to the lineup after being activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday.

Stewart Cink Should See The Weekend At Travelers

Stewart Cink has been driving and putting just well enough to make the weekend, but after that, things have started to unravel. Since his win at the RBC Heritage, Cink has had one round where he shoots himself into trouble. As a result, it knocks him out of contention. The 48-year-old does not have the […]

Si Woo Kim A Guessing Game This Week At Travelers

Si Woo Kim is like building a mystery. The golfer put it all together for a tied-9th at The Memorial then hung around to finish 40th at the US Open despite a Sunday 74. Kim tends to show up around majors but not always at tournaments surrounding them. Hence, this week at Travelers may be […]

Brendan Steele Might Struggle At Travelers

Brendan Steele has not fared well in the last four tournaments he has entered, with his best finish being a T37 at the Memorial. He nearly missed the cut and finished 77th at the PGA. Steele then missed the cut at the US Open. The problem is that Steele just cannot do one thing exceedingly […]

Sam Burns Trying To Reset Himself At Travelers

Sam Burns has had a rough time of it the past month or so. In three tournaments, he withdrew, barely finished 50th, and missed the cut at the US Open. Majors are rough and Burns learned some rough lessons. Even The Memorial has its challenges. One thing was clear. The golfer just was not prepared […]
