Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss versus the New York Mets. Rizzo crushed his home run to the second deck against Sean Reid-Foley in the top of the fourth inning. Rizzo has recovered in a good way from some back issues that sidelined him in […]

Michael Wacha Expected To Start On Friday

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Michael Wacha is expected to start Friday's game against the Mariners if he isn't needed out of the bullpen before then.

Cameron Champ A Risky Play At US Open

Cameron Champ will be a risky DFS play at this week's US Open. Champ's length off the tee should give him a massive advantage at a course of this length, but he needs to be better in the other areas of his game. His play on and around the greens is particularly bad, and it […]

Kyle Tucker Placed On The Injured List

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker was placed on the injured list due to health and safety protocols. He hasn't tested positive for COVID-19 but missed his last two games after not feeling well. "Tucker just developed some symptoms," said general manager James Click. "So he's been placed in the health and safety protocols and hopefully […]

Joel Dahmen A Poor Play At US Open

Odell Beckham Jr. Looking Good

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield said that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) looked "great" on Wednesday at mandatory minicamp. Beckham suffered a torn ACL in Week 7 last year and missed the rest of the 2020 season. "It looks really great," Mayfield said. "After seeing him run and really just talking to him, as […]

Jadeveon Clowney Feels Great

Cleveland Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (knee) took part in nearly every drill in minicamp on Tuesday and plans to be full go for the rest of minicamp. The three-time Pro Bowler said he "felt great" after surgery on his left meniscus ended his season early in 2020. "I felt great coming in, and I […]

Kevin Streelman Has Potential At US Open

Kevin Streelman has been inconsistent at Torrey Pines over his career but has made the cut five times in his last six starts at this venue. He is having a decent season with a few top-10 finishes and 16 made cuts in 23 starts. Streelman is decent off the tee and is very accurate with […]

Jean Segura Could Miss Up To Three Weeks

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Jean Segura is dealing with a Grade 1 groin strain and could miss up to three weeks. He was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. The injury comes at a bad time for the 31-year-old, who was averaging .440 over his last five games. Nick Maton was recalled in a […]

Gardner Minshew II Pushing Trevor Lawrence For Starting Job?

Jacksonville Jaguars passing-game coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said the team hasn't settled on a starting quarterback despite taking Clemson star Trevor Lawrence No. 1 overall in this year's draft. Schottenheimer cautioned against assuming that Gardner Minshew II was entrenched as Lawrence's backup. The Jags also have C.J. Beathard and Jake Luton in the QB room. "We're […]

Matt Wallace Set For Torrey Pines Debut

Matt Wallace will make his first career start at Torrey Pines at this week's US Open. Wallace has missed a couple cuts at the US Open and finished T12 in 2019. He is solid with approach shots, ranking 17th in strokes gained approaching the green. Wallace is a decent putter but will need to scramble […]

Drew Brees Impressed With Justin Herbert

Retired quarterback and future Hall of Famer Drew Brees took in the Los Angeles Chargers minicamp practice on Wednesday and was very impressed with second-year signal-caller Justin Herbert. "I think his physical tools are as good as anybody I've ever seen," Brees said. "By all accounts, he's a great worker. He's got great leadership qualities, […]

Lee Westwood Still Searching For First Major Win

Lee Westwood will enter this week still on the quest for his first major victory. He finished 3rd at the US Open at Torrey Pines in 2008 but has just two other starts at this venue. Westwood had back-to-back runner-up finishes earlier this season but has missed three cuts in seven starts since then. His […]

Cody Bellinger May Return When Eligible

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (hamstring) is currently sitting on the 10-day injured list. However, skipper Dave Roberts is hopeful that he will be ready to go when he is eligible to come off on June 22. The 25-year-old has been dealing with a left hamstring strain, but fantasy managers may not have to […]

Carlos Estevez Blows The Save But Gets The Win

Colorado Rockies right-hander Carlos Estevez blew the save on Wednesday when he allowed an unearned run on two walks but was credited with the win in an 8-7 victory over the San Diego Padres. Daniel Bard was unavailable on Wednesday so Estevez was sent in to protect a 7-6 lead in the ninth inning. He […]

Henrik Stenson Set For Second Start At Torrey Pines

Henrik Stenson has just one career start at Torrey Pines, missing the cut at the US Open in 2008. Stenson has been inconsistent at this event as of late, notching a couple top-10 finishes but also missing a couple cuts. He will be at a massive disadvantage off the tee, and he has also been […]

Jon Gray To Throw Bullpen Session On Thursday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray (forearm) will throw a bullpen session on Thursday. Gray has been sitting on the 10-day injured list since suffering a right forearm flexor strain back on June 4 against Oakland. The 29-year-old has been mediocre from a fantasy perspective this season, currently holding a 4.29 ERA and a record […]

Chez Reavie Struggles At Torrey Pines

Chez Reavie has made eight career starts at Torrey Pines, missing four cuts and failing to notch one top-20 finish. He finished T3 at the 2019 US Open but also missed cuts at this event in 2018 and 2020. Reavie's T14 finish last week broke a streak seven straight missed cuts dating back to March […]

Alex Bregman Exits Early On Wednesday

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (leg) left Wednesday's matchup against the White Sox after injuring his leg in the first inning. The 27-year-old has been fantastic this season, batting .276 to go along with 63 hits, with 14 doubles, 37 runs, 34 RBI, and seven home runs throughout 228 at-bats. More information should be […]

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 […]
