Ryan Palmer Not A Great US Open Performer

Ryan Palmer has experienced recent struggles at the US Open, with his best finish being a T52 while missing three cuts in his last four starts at this event. He has never played a US Open at Torrey Pines but has found some success at this course in the past, notching runner-up finishes in 2018 […]

Kevin Na Not A Great Play At Torrey Pines

Kevin Na has not played at Torrey Pines since 2011, and the course has not been kind to him over his career. In six career starts at this venue, Na has missed the cut four times. Na ranks just 170th in strokes gained off the tee, so that area of his game will put him […]

Jacob deGrom Leaves Early With Shoulder Soreness

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (shoulder) left Wednesday's start against the Cubs early with right shoulder soreness. The ace was red-hot prior to getting the plug pulled, recording eight strikeouts throughout just three innings of work before being replaced by Sean Reid-Foley. This obviously isn't good news, primarily since the veteran has already […]

C.J. Cron Blasts A Two-Run Homer In Victory

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in an 8-7 win over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. Cron blasted his second home run in the last three games off of Blake Snell in the bottom of the first inning to put the Rockies up 3-0. The veteran slugger […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2021 U.S. Open

Hello PGA DFS family! From a personal perspective, last week's Palmetto Championship wasn't one of my strongest DFS weeks, but the event certainly provided an exciting winner, as 22-year-old Garrick Higgo captured his first victory on the PGA Tour! Higgo has been downright dominant on the Euro Tour this year - and also won last […]

Sonny Gray Likely To Miss A Few More Starts

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Gray (groin) will likely miss a few more turns through the rotation. The veteran is currently with the team for its three-city road trip, which caused some to speculate that he was close to nearing a return from the 10-day injured list. However, the 31-year-old has been dealing with groin […]

Elias Diaz Homers In Wednesday's Win

Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Diaz went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in an 8-7 win over the Padres on Wednesday. Diaz had a nice little day at the dish, reaching four times with a solo homer, two singles, and a walk. He took Blake Snell deep in the bottom of the […]

Kyle Freeland Hit Hard Once Again

Colorado Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland took a no-decision on Wednesday when he surrendered five runs on a whopping nine hits with two walks and three strikeouts over 3 2/3 innings in an 8-7 win over the San Diego Padres. This is becoming an ugly trend for Freeland, who still hasn't found his rhythm through five […]

Ryan Yarbrough Struggles Against White Sox On Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Yarbrough struggled on the mound on Wednesday against the White Sox, allowing seven runs — five earned — on 10 hits and one walk while striking out five over 6 1/3 innings of work. It was the most runs he allowed since April 30, but despite that he still […]

Kyrie Irving Ruled Out For Game 6

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (ankle) is out for the pivotal Game 6 matchup against Milwaukee. Irving injured his right ankle on Sunday during the Game 4 loss to the Bucks, and his prognosis isn't good, with the veteran potentially out not only for the remainder of the series but also possibly for the rest […]

Bryce Harper Not In Lineup; Day-To-Day With Back Spasms

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (back) is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday, and is being considered day-to-day after exiting Tuesday's game with back spasms, according to Matt Breen of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Breen adds that Harper felt "a little spasm" during Tuesday's game, and he woke up feeling sore on Wednesday. The Phillies […]

Kawhi Leonard Dealing With A Knee Issue

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play on Wednesday night. Team officials were mum on the veteran's ailment, and he wasn't listed on the league's injury report until the 5:30 pm publication. However, Leonard is dealing with an ACL injury in his right knee, which isn't good news, primarily since his season may […]

Jean Segura Lands On Injured List With Groin Injury

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Jean Segura (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday afternoon, according to Matt Breen of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Segura exited Tuesday night's game early with an apparent groin injury in the ninth inning that seemed to have occurred while he was running out an infield single. Nick Maton […]

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Mike Zunino went 1-for-3 with a home run, one walk, two RBI and a run scored in an 8-7 loss to the White Sox on Wednesday. It was the 13th homer of the year for Zunino, as he is now slashing .194/.291/.504 with 27 RBI and 25 runs scored over 46 […]

Yandy Diaz Homers In Loss Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz went 1-for-3 with a home run, one walk, two RBI and two runs scored in an 8-7 loss to the White Sox on Wednesday. He's been on a tear over his last 15 games, slashing .280/.439/.400 with two homers, nine RBI and nine runs scored, while posting an […]

Kyle Tucker Not In Lineup For Second Straight Game

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (illness) is not in the lineup for the second straight game on Wednesday. Manager Dusty Baker said on Tuesday that Tucker was being held out of the lineup because he was feeling under the weather, and it appears now that whatever it is, it is still causing him problems. Consider […]

Max Muncy Pain-Free And Playing Catch

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy (oblique), currently on the 10-day injured list, is pain-free, according to manager Dave Roberts. Muncy was also playing catch ahead of the Dodgers-Phillies game on Wednesday. Obviously, this news suggests that Muncy's stay on the IL should be for the minimum amount of time. Assuming he suffers no […]

Ramon Laureano Homers In Return From Injured List

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (hip) went 1-for-5 with a solo homer in his first game back from a stint on the injured list. Laureano took Griffin Canning deep in the fourth inning for the first run of the game for the A's. On the season, Laureano is batting .255 with 12 homers, 31 runs, […]

Zac Gallen To Be Reinstated From The Injured List On Thursday

Arizona Cardinals starting pitcher Zac Gallen (elbow) will reportedly be reinstated from the injured list and start against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. Gallen has been dealing with elbow soreness and has been out since the beginning of May. The 25-year-old has posted a 3.04 ERA, a 1.20 WHIP, and a 32:14 K:BB over […]

Trevor Larnach Gets Day Off Wednesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Larnach will get the day off after going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Tuesday's game. Despite that, the 24-year-old has been solid in June, batting .311 with three doubles and two RBI, though his 17:2 strikeout-to-walk ratio leaves […]

Andrew Vaughn Picks Up Three Hits

Chicago White Sox first baseman/outfielder Andrew Vaughn went 3-for-5 with a double and three runs scored in Wednesday's victory versus the Tampa Bay Rays. With the White Sox banged up on offense, Vaughn hit third for the first time this season and delivered. Vaughn hasn't been putting up the numbers that many managers imagined entering […]

Miguel Castro Available Out Of The 'Pen On Wednesday

New York Mets right-handed relief pitcher Miguel Castro (neck) is available out of the bullpen on Wednesday, according to manager Luis Rojas. Castro had been unavailable the past two games due to neck stiffness, which has now improved. The Mets bullpen has been taxed the past few games, so Castro's return should help preserve some […]

Cole Irvin Surrenders Four Runs To Angels On Wednesday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Cole Irvin had a rough outing on Wednesday, allowing nine hits and four runs to the Angels in a no-decision. Irvin was hit hard early in the game as he allowed three runs in the first inning before serving up a homer to Shohei Ohtani in the second. He settled down […]
