The 24-year-old is scheduled to play on Thursday at Triple-A Iowa before the team decides if he needs […]

Ryan Thompson Placed On The 10-Day Injured List

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Thompson was placed on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. The move is retroactive to June 28.

Matthew Wolff A High-Risk, High-Reward Play

While Matthew Wolff looked fantastic two weeks ago at the U.S. Open, he was awful last week at the Travelers Championship. Many young players of Wolff's caliber are prone to swings of volatility, but the Oklahoma State product can be particularly fickle. From a course-fit standpoint, Wolff sets up great for Detroit Golf Club, as […]

Kolten Wong Remains Out On Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong (calf) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs. It's his fourth straight missed game while dealing with a left calf issue, but Wong's injury isn't expected to land him on the injured list. There's a good chance that he'll be able to return to […]

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader (rib) could return for the upcoming four-game road trip starting July 1 against the Cardinals.

The 27-year-old went […]

Gary Woodland Could Contend At Detroit Golf Club

Detroit Golf Club should be a nice fit for Gary Woodland. Two of his best results this season -- a 14th-place finish at the Charles Schwab and a fifth-place finish at the Wells Fargo -- have both come on classical, tree-lined golf courses. Naturally, fantasy managers may presume that Woodland is better suited for a […]

Eloy Jimenez Progressing Well In Rehab

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (pectoral) is progressing well in his rehab and is expected to return in August. He was cleared to begin baseball activities two weeks ago at the White Sox's training facility.

Damien Harris The No. 1 In New England?

ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss said on Sirius XM NFL Radio that he views New England Patriots running back Damien Harris as the team's "decisive" No. 1 back heading into the 2021 season. Harris and Sony Michel are expected to be some sort of one-two combination in New England's backfield, but Michel has really disappointed so […]

Bubba Watson Coming Off A Disappointing Collapse

Last week at the Travelers Championship, Bubba Watson held the lead late on Sunday afternoon before bogeying his final five holes to fall all the way down to 19th place on the leaderboard. Watson is a seasoned veteran, and fantasy managers should not be concerned about scar tissue, yet with that being said, Detroit Golf […]

Will Zalatoris Looks To Regain Form At Detroit Golf Club

Will Zalatoris has cooled off from his torrid start to the 2021 season with a 59th-place finish and a missed cut in his last two appearances. The Wake Forest product's struggles have come primarily on the greens, as Zalatoris has now lost strokes putting in five consecutive starts. On a course where putting is so […]

Brown (knees) was not able to take the field for offseason workouts after having offseason surgery on both of his knees, but he remains focused on getting healthy for the 2021 season.

Kris Bryant Sits For Second Straight Game

Chicago Cubs infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant (side) will miss his second consecutive game versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. Bryant sat out on Tuesday with side soreness and the injury continues to linger. Bryant got off to a nice start this season, but has been in a major slump during the month of June. The upcoming […]

Cameron Tringale Sets Up Perfectly For Detroit Golf Club

Cameron Tringale has finished in fifth place and 30th place in two appearances at Detroit Golf Club, and fantasy managers should expect the Georgia Tech product to continue his strong play in Michigan. Tringale is an incredible wedge player, ranking 10th in proximity from 75-100 yards and 22nd in proximity from 100-125 yards over his […]

Ryan Ramczyk Receives Big Five-Year Extension

The New Orleans Saints signed All-Pro right tackle Ryan Ramczyk to a five-year, $96 million contract extension on Wednesday, according to sources. Ramczyk will receive $19.2 million per season. The deal will take him through the 2026 season and will make him the new highest-paid right tackle in the league. The 27-year-old was an All-Pro […]

Justin Wilson Activated On Wednesday

The New York Yankees activated relief pitcher Justin Wilson (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday and optioned reliever Albert Abreu to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move.

Anthony Rizzo Hopes To Be Back In A Couple Days

Rizzo is out of the starting lineup once again on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 31-year-old has dealt with similar back issues before, so the Cubs are […]

Webb Simpson Should Be Very Comfortable At Detroit

In his only appearance at Detroit Golf Club, Webb Simpson finished in eighth place while gaining 1.9 strokes off the tee and 4.6 strokes on approach. Simpson's success in Detroit should not come as a surprise, as the former U.S. Open champion has a clear affinity for Donald Ross courses, with six top-10s at the […]

Paul DeJong Resting On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Although DeJong does have 10 home runs on the season, his slash line of .169/.271/.354 leaves a lot to be desired from a fantasy perspective in his 178 at-bats. He also has just eight hits in 54 […]

Patrick Reed A Great Option At Detroit Golf Club

Believe it or not, Patrick Reed is hitting the ball better than he has in years. Last week at the Travelers Championship, the nine-time PGA Tour winner gained four strokes on approach and 2.6 strokes off the tee. This is the third week in a row in which Reed has gained over 3.4 strokes on […]

Marlins Have Talked Contract Extension With Starling Marte

Miami Marlins general manager Kim Ng said that the team has talked to outfielder Starling Marte about a contract extension, but it's unclear how much progress the two sides have made.

Baseball's number 12 prospect is now slashing .278/.360/.568 with 12 HR and 36 RBI. It may be a while before fantasy managers see the 19-year-old in a Giants jersey, but […]

Madison Bumgarner Throws Simulated Game

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner (shoulder) threw a 35-pitch, two-inning simulated game on Tuesday as he works his way back from the 10-day injured list. Bumgarner left his start on June 2 with left shoulder discomfort after just two innings against the New York Mets. The veteran left-hander may need another simulated game or […]

Kevin Gausman Takes Rare Loss Tuesday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kevin Gausman fell to 8-2 in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Dodgers. Gausman pitched 5 innings, allowing three runs on three hits (including a solo home run) and five walks with four strikeouts. The matchup was a tough one and Gausman didn't pitch poorly, so fantasy managers should cut him […]

Ramon Urias Hits Two-Run Homer Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/shortstop Ramon Urias had a nice day at the plate in Tuesday's 13-3 win over the Astros. Urias went 2-for-3 with a single, a two-run home run, and two walks. The 27-year-old has done a decent job at the plate this season, slashing .265/.359/.456 with three HR and 12 RBI. That being […]

Travis Lakins Sr. Dealing With Elbow Discomfort

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Travis Lakins Sr. (elbow) left his start early on Tuesday against the Houston Astros with right elbow discomfort. Lakins allowed an earned run on one hit while walking three and hitting a batter in just 1 2/3 frames before departing the contest. The outing raised his ERA to 5.79 on the […]

Maikel Franco Plates Three Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Maikel Franco had a nice day at the plate in Tuesday's 13-3 win over the Astros. Franco went 3-for-5 with a single, two doubles, three RBI, and a strikeout. The 28-year-old has been a disappointment at the plate after a stellar 2020 and is now slashing .213/.259/.371 with nine home runs […]

Mark Melancon Tosses Flawless Ninth

San Diego Padres closer Mark Melancon fired a perfect ninth inning Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds to collect his major league-leading 25th save. The 36-year-old veteran has endured some bumps recently, slogging to a 4.22 ERA in June, but he managed his second consecutive pain-free outing. Melancon has continued to be a jackpot for fantasy […]

Drew Rasmussen To Serve As Opener Before Michael Wacha

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen will serve as the opener on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals. Right-hander Michael Wacha is scheduled to work the bulk of the innings after Rasmussen departs. Rasmussen hasn't allowed a run with just one hit in his 3 2/3 innings of relief for the Rays this year with seven […]
