Stephen Strasburg Does Light Throwing On Wednesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (neck) began some light throwing on Wednesday for the first time since exiting his start against Atlanta, according to Maria Torres of The Athletic.

Phil Gosselin Gets Start At Third Base

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Phil Gosselin will start at third base in place of the injured Anthony Rendon on Wednesday.

Patrick Cantlay Has Struggled At Torrey Pines

Only making one cut in three attempts, Patrick Cantlay hasn't had a great time at Torrey Pines. In his only made cut, Cantlay finished 51st in 2018.

Marc Leishman Could Change His U.S. Open Fortunes

Marc Leishman has 10 career top-25 finishes in major championships, but only one has come at the U.S. Open. Looking deeper, Leishman has missed more U.S. Open cuts than at any other major championship. One reason could be his inability to consistently hit the fairway. We know the rough is always tough at the U.S. […]

Gary Woodland Knows How To Play Torrey Pines

Matt Kuchar Finally Returns To Torrey Pines

2008 was a long time ago, 13 years to be exact. That's the last time we saw Matt Kuchar tee it up at Torrey Pines. After missing three straight cuts in 2002, 2004 and 2007, Kuchar made the cut at both the 2008 Buick Invitational and U.S. Open, recording a best finish of 23rd in […]

Kevin Kisner And Torrey Pines Don't Mix

Kevin Kisner hasn't had the best go of things at Torrey Pines in his career. In three starts there, Kisner has yet to make a cut. Pairing that with Kisner's current play, he's missed six of his last seven cuts on tour, it shouldn't be a tough decision to stay away from Kisner this week. […]

Sergio Garcia Too Risky At Torrey Pines

Sergio Garcia will return to Torrey Pines for the first time since the 2008 U.S. Open. Yes, you read that correctly. It has been a long time since Garcia teed it up in San Diego, but he did finish in the top 20 in 2008. More recently, Garcia made his last cut at the Charles […]

Francesco Molinari Cannot Be Considered At U.S. Open

Does anyone even remember Francesco Molinari at this point? Molinari has only played in four PGA Tour events since March, and he missed the cut in three of the four outings.

Cameron Smith Faces Uphill Battle At Torrey Pines

There is certainly a roadmap for Cameron Smith to find success at Torrey Pines, but his path is far more difficult than other players in his price range. Over his last 36 rounds, Smith ranks outside the top 50 in strokes gained off the tee, strokes gained on approach, proximity from 200-plus yards and driving […]

Steven Souza Jr. Has Contract Selected By Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Steven Souza Jr. has had his contract selected from Triple-A Oklahoma City and will join the team, according to Juan Toribio of MLB.com.

Harris English Is A Solid Play At Torrey Pines

While Harris English's Sunday struggles on the back nine last week will be fresh in fantasy managers' minds, this is a great bounce-back spot for the three-time PGA Tour winner. Since winning the Tournament of Champions in January, English has had an up-and-down season, but with two top-15s in his last four starts, his game […]

Willy Adames Not In Starting Lineup Wednesday
