Ka'ai Tom Day-To-Day With Wrist Injury

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Ka'ai Tom (wrist) was removed from Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals with left wrist discomfort. It's the same wrist that just prompted a trip to the injured list for Tom. He was activated from the injured list this past weekend. The fact that the injury is reoccurring certainly seems like […]

Brett Baty's Stock On The Rise At High-A

New York Mets prospect Brett Baty raised his batting average to .343 with a 3-for-4 game on Wednesday. The 21-year-old third baseman also slugged his first home run of the season. The lack of power has been a surprise for the former first-round pick as he entered pro ball with a reputation for having impressive […]

Justin Upton Suffers Leg Injury On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (leg) was removed from Tuesday's game after suffering a leg injury. Upton collided with his teammate Kean Wong while chasing down a pop-up in the fourth inning. After the game, Angels manager Joe Maddon made it sound as if Upton's removal was precautionary, saying that Upton is "going to […]

Paul Fry Appears To Be New Orioles Closer, Despite Sulser Save

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Paul Fry has been dominant out of the bullpen this year. He has a 2.25 ERA to go along with an even better 1.91 xERA and his 40.3% strikeout rate ranks in the 98th percentile. Fellow reliever Cole Sulser was called upon for the save in Tuesday's game against the Minnesota […]

Wander Franco Stays Hot At Triple-A

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop prospect Wander Franco went 4-for-5 with a double and drove in three runs on Tuesday. The 20-year-old phenom now has a .299 batting average after slipping to as low as .268 in mid-May. Impressively, Franco hasn't struck out since May 22, which is a span of seven games. Overall, he has […]

Stephen Strasburg Experienced Trapezius Muscle Tightness Tuesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (trapezius) was removed from Tuesday's start against the Atlanta Braves after 30 pitches. It was revealed after the game by Nationals manager Dave Martinez that Strasburg's trapezius muscle got tight during the start, which caused the early exit. His exit came right after he was hit by a comebacker […]

Bubba (@bdentrek) is joined by Bat Flip Crazy (@BatFlipCrazy). On tonight's episode, the guys recap another wild weekend of FAAB. They go over the most added players in the NFBC. Giving thoughts on the bids, the players, and more. During the discussion, a lot of FAAB strategies are discussed as well as players to target […]

Cameron Davis Likely To Play Weekend At Memorial

Cameron Davis has looked a little off his game the past two weeks. At Colonial, Davis drove the ball less than 300 yards most of the time (309 average -- 14th on tour). It just seemed like his swing was less than 100%. Davis has found a way to make a good number of cuts […]

Stewart Cink To Lurk Around At Memorial

Stewart Cink can just linger around at most any tournament. It is why he is 8th in the FedEx Cup Standings. He won the RBC Heritage Open by doing the opposite. He held on for dear life and shot a clutch 70 on Sunday. It is that adaptability in 2021 that has served Cink well […]

Si Woo Kim Not One To Look At For Memorial

Si Woo Kim has trended in the wrong direction for weeks and that culminated in him withdrawing from the Colonial last week. Keep in mind, he missed the cut at the PGA with a 75-76 and missed a bunch of putts at the Byron Nelson. This is not the same golfer that was on the […]

C.T. Pan May Have Issues At Memorial This Week

C.T. Pan got better at Colonial last week as the tournament wore on. This week is a rough test at the Memorial. Pan driving the ball off the tee was problematic in the early rounds at the Charles Schwab. The fact he hits about 294 on this long course could present him with a few […]

Chris Kirk Still Struggling Heading Into Memorial

Chris Kirk looked like he had it together at Colonial for about three rounds last week and then Sunday happened. It was more than the 77, Kirk just could not do anything right. Suddenly he could not drive or hit accurately. Too many things went wrong. The last three tournaments (two missed cuts) have illustrated […]

Sam Burns A Wildcard At The Memorial This Week

Sam Burns was hot on tour with a first and second at Valspar and the Byron Nelson buoyed by incredible Thursday and Friday rounds and steady weekend play. Then, there came the withdrawal at the PGA. That front nine was so disastrous and it left Burns little choice. The question again is where is his […]

Branden Grace's Withdrawal Leaves Questions For Memorial

Branden Grace shot a 76 at Colonial and then withdrew from the tournament last week. The idea would be to see where he is even at this week and even then. Straying away from Grace may be a good plan. He did have a decent run of four weekends before a 78 on Sunday at […]

Harold Varner III May Not Fare As Well At Memorial

Harold Varner III from tee to green is one of the better golfers on tour (24th overall -- .949 strokes gained). He has solid numbers driving a ball 301 yards on average and getting on the greens at 67th. The problem always seems to come down to putting and often later in tournaments. When one […]

Jonathan India Steals A Base, Scores In Loss

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India went 1-for-3 with a steal and a run in a 17-3 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. The rookie infielder is now hitting .233 with three homers, 14 runs, 21 RBI, and three steals in 129 at-bats in his debut season. While his overall numbers aren't too exciting, […]

Cameron Tringale Interesting Option At The Memorial

Do not expect a top-five or ten finish from Cameron Tringale in Ohio come Sunday. However, the Californian lurked around the top-20 or so most of the weekend at the Charles Schwab before falling back to 33rd. He is one of the best at sand saves (15th) on tour and that could help him if […]

Tyler Naquin Homers Vs. Philadelphia

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in a 17-3 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. Naquin went deep off of Phillies starter Aaron Nola in the second inning to get the Reds on the scoreboard. It has been an excellent start to the season for Naquin, […]

Adam Hadwin Could Have Some Potential At Memorial

Adam Hadwin could put in a decent weekend at Memorial but might implode too. After much bad play, the Canadian managed 66-67 at the Charles Schwab last week. His putter hurt him a bit on the weekend but Hadwin finished tied for 8th. A longer, tighter course this week likely means a lower finish but […]

Sonny Gray Strikes Out Eight In Lopsided Loss

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray allowed four runs (three earned) over 4 2/3 innings in a 17-3 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. Gray struck out eight and walked one while giving up two homers in the start. It wasn't Gray's finest outing of the season, but much of the credit for the lopsided […]

Christiaan Bezuidenhout Not Expected To Do Much At Memorial

Christiaan Bezuidenhout can putt a golf ball (fifth on tour with .866 strokes gained). However, he is not accurate off the driver or in the fairway and that could hurt a lot this week. The Memorial is an unforgiving course that makes a golfer pay for the errant tee to green play (119th at -0.008). […]

Billy Horschel Has Some Upside At Memorial

Billy Horschel will likely not be in that top tier to contend but a top-30 or so is not unreasonable at The Memorial. He excels at match play but not so much on Sunday. He was very good at the PGA (68-72) weekend but just a 72-67 at an easier Charles Schwab. His putting ranks […]

Victor Hovland Could Win The Memorial This Weekend

Victor Hovland is one of those "favorites" at 18 to 1 to win The Memorial this weekend. He is one of the few golfers out there that can drive the ball long and just straight enough on this demanding course (53rd and 69th). His 68.5% greens in regulation (27th) will help ease his putting fears. […]

Shane Lowry Could Lurk Around Top At Memorial

Shane Lowry has a tendency to just linger around in tournaments. At the PGA, his three-under 69 on Sunday lifted him to a fourth-place finish few saw coming. His final rounds in the past three tournaments have been rather good. The form is there at least. He won The Open two years ago but his […]

Matt Fitzpatrick Needs Putter To Contend At Memorial

Matt Fitzpatrick can be deadly accurate around the greens and on fairways but his length could hurt on this large 7500-yard course. Fitzpatrick can barely drive the ball 290 yards most of the time. Courses like the TPC and the PGA suited Fitzpatrick better because of his ability to play around the course. Driving short […]

Tony Finau Will Be Tested This Weekend At Memorial

Tony Finau can get to the weekend but can he finally perform consistently on Saturday and Sunday? That driving accuracy is a pesky detriment along with his putter sometimes. However, few get to the green as consistent as Finau does (23rd on tour). The golfer is one of the very select that have made all […]

Adam Scott Off His Game At Bad Time For Memorial

This could be another rough week for Adam Scott as some term The Memorial as a "fifth major". Scott missed the cut at the PGA and has not really contended much of anywhere in 2021 (best finish -- 10th). He drives the ball well enough at 308.3 yards (17th) but so many parts of his […]

Patrick Reed In For Challenging Week At The Memorial

Can Patrick Reed overcome his driver on a long course? His driving average is just over 290 yards but the rest of his game makes him dangerous in Ohio come the weekend. His strokes gained from putting is .923 (4th on tour). The biggest concern is Reed getting the ball on the green (172nd) but […]

Bryson DeChambeau Has Length And Game To Win At Memorial

Bryson DeChambeau drives the golf ball the best on tour at 322 yards. On a 7500+ yard course, that helps. He just has to keep the ball in the fairway. His accuracy is just 54.63% (172nd) but again that greens-in-regulation ranks better at 65th. DeChambeau leads the tour in overall strokes gained (2.105) and even […]
