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 […]

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.

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 […]

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.

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 […]
