Ian Poulter To Rely On Short Game At Palmetto

Ian Poulter will look to ride momentum from his T3 finish at Charles Schwab a couple weeks ago into Palmetto. Poulter has put together a decent season thus far with five top-25 finishes in 15 starts. Congaree is a long course, so Poulter's lack of distance off the tee could certainly put him at a […]

Sammy Long Shines In His Major League Debut

San Francisco Giants pitcher Sammy Long impressed on Wednesday in his first Major League start. The rookie hurler struck out seven of the first ten Rangers batters faced. Long struck out a total of seven Texas hitters through four frames, and he only allowed one hit and one run. It will be interesting to watch […]

C.T. Pan A Risky Play At Palmetto

C.T. Pan will be a risky play this week at Palmetto. He has shown that he can play solid golf with five top-25 finishes, but he has also missed nine cuts in 21 starts. Pan is a decent iron player, but he does not give himself a big advantage with any area of his game. […]

Henrik Norlander Set For Debut At Congaree

Henrik Norlander will make his debut at Congaree this week, and he has been incredibly inconsistent so far this season. Norlander has made just 10 cuts in 23 starts. He is fairly accurate off the tee and is a solid iron player but struggles a bit on and around the greens. Norlander ranks 169th in […]

Matthew Peacock Registers A Loss On Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Matthew Peacock picked up a loss on Wednesday as Oakland defeated his team 4-0. Peacock gave up three runs in just 1 2/3 innings.

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier is absent from Wednesday's lineup for the contest against the Minnesota Twins.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (knee) is expected to make his next start Saturday against Cleveland.

Nelson Cruz Returning To Lineup Wednesday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (knee) will rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees.

The veteran […]

Kyle Garlick Headed To Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder Kyle Garlick (hernia) is headed to the injured list with a sports hernia.

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (back) was placed on the injured list before Wednesday's game with a lumbar strain.
