Robert Whittaker Can Lock Up A Title Shot With A Victory

Looking to regain his UFC middleweight championship, a win in Saturday's main event over Kelvin Gastelum would give Robert Whittaker (22-5) three wins in a row. Since dropping the championship to now-champion Israel Adesanya, Whittaker has yet to taste defeat again. Whittaker has finished the majority of his 22 career victories, finishing 14 of his […]

Richaun Holmes To Be Sidelined For Next Three Games

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (hamstring) will miss the team's next three contests as he deals with a hamstring injury. Holmes had to leave Monday's game early due to a sore right hamstring- and an MRI confirmed a strain to the muscle, meaning the 27-year-old big man will miss Wednesday's contest and won't travel with […]

Jimmy Butler Suiting Up Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Butler was listed as questionable after spraining his right ankle during Tuesday's game, though he'll be out there for the contest against Denver. The veteran forward struggled against Phoenix his last time out but had scored 20-plus points on 50 […]

Jeremy Stephens Hoping For A Victory

It has been a rough couple of years in the win column for Jeremy Stephens (28-18), as he's winless in his last five fights. His last victory came in February of 2018, when he was victorious via second-round knockout. When Stephens does win, it's normally with the big knockout, as he's scored knockout victories in […]

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk Enters Starting Five

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk will enter the starting five with Luguentz Dort (shoulder) sidelined Wednesday. Mykhailiuk should be headed for 25-plus minutes against the Warriors, a workload that has yielded double-figure scoring efforts from the 23-year-old each time this season. Golden State allows the 13th-most points per game to shooting guards, so Mykhailiuk […]

Drakkar Klose Looking To Get Back On Track

Coming off of a loss to end last year after winning three in a row, Drakkar Klose (11-2-1) will enter Saturday's co-main event for his first matchup of 2021. It will be a little bit over a year since Klose was last in the Octagon, losing by knockout in March of last year. Klose will […]

Myles Turner, Doug McDermott To Miss Wednesday's Contest

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) and forward Doug McDermott (ankle) have been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with Houston. Both were listed as questionable, with Turner missing his fifth consecutive contest and McDermott his first, as the latter recently tweaked his ankle during Tuesday's game. Turner's continued absence will mean more defensive opportunities for […]

Gary Harris, Chuma Okeke Suiting Up Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (rest) and Chuma Okeke (hip) are suiting up for Wednesday's contest against the Bulls. Harris returns after a one-game absence due to rest, meaning Dwayne Bacon will go back to a bench role. Okeke is dealing with a hip ailment and will be on a minutes' restriction once again- knocking […]

Marcus Morris Sr. A Late Scratch

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (rest) was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup for rest purposes. It's the second half of a back-to-back- and the Clippers are already down Kawhi Leonard (foot) and Paul George (rest), so they opted to give the veteran forward a breather. Nicolas Batum and Patrick Patterson will see […]

Alex Munoz Looking For First UFC Win On Saturday

Team Alpha Male's Alex Munoz (6-1) will look to rebound after his first professional loss in his bout Saturday with Violent Bob Ross Luis Pena. Going to a decision with a tough opponent in his debut, hopefully the UFC jitters are out of the way for Munoz and he can get back to his winning […]

Patrick Cantlay Looks To Regain Form At RBC Heritage

Patrick Cantlay enters this week's RBC Heritage in slumping form. One of the best young players in golf, Cantlay has missed the cut in his last two stroke-play starts, including a disastrous outing in last week's Masters tournament. If his Heritage track record is any indicator, he should rebound nicely in South Carolina. The Californian […]

Matthew Fitzpatrick A Great Fit At Harbour Town

Matthew Fitzpatrick heads to this week's RBC Heritage in sharp form. The Englishman has posted three top-10 finishes in just five U.S. starts in 2021 and managed a solid T34 in last week's Masters. This week's Harbour Town layout is a great fit for the light-hitting Fitzpatrick, as driving distance takes a back seat to […]

Webb Simpson Set To Defend RBC Heritage Title

Webb Simpson is set to defend his RBC Heritage title in Hilton Head this week. Simpson conquered a stacked field in last year's Heritage with a tournament-record score of 22-under par. The victory was the culmination of a career's worth of sharp play in the event for the veteran. The Wake Forest alum has a […]

Corbin Burnes Dominates Cubs Again

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes continued his run of dominant pitching on Wednesday by overwhelming the Chicago Cubs en route to a 7-0 victory. Burnes struck out 10 Cubs over six shutout innings, permitting just two hits and no walks on 81 pitches. He's yet to walk a batter this season in 18 1/3 […]

Luis Pena Looking To Get Back On Track

Splitting his two bouts last year with a 1-1 record, Luis Pena (8-3) would love to turn things around and earn a victory against Alex Munoz on Saturday's main card. Pena has gone 4-3 in the UFC since joining the organization after a stint on TUF 27. Due to injury, Pena was forced to withdraw […]

Omar Narvaez Continues To Be Productive With The Bat

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Cubs. He found a way to produce in this one and he's now hit safely in eight of his first 10 contests. The backstop is hitting .414 with a 1.091 OPS through his first 33 plate […]

Ryan Zimmerman Smacks First 2021 Homer

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run on Wednesday. Batting third for the first time since 2018, Zimmerman brought his early season line to .346/.370/.500. Zimmerman has played more often than expected so far this season due to Josh Bell missing time during the team's coronavirus […]

Collin Morikawa Looks To Improve Heritage Results

Collin Morikawa is set to make his second career start in the RBC Heritage. The young superstar will attempt to improve upon a T64 he posted in his Harbour Town debut last year. Morikawa is the top-rated iron player on the PGA Tour and is a natural fit for this Pete Dye design that features […]

Joe Ross Tosses Six Shutout Innings

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross is off to a hot start in 2021, throwing six shutout innings in his second start of the year Wednesday. He allowed just four hits and a walk with five strikeouts on 89 pitches, nine of which produced swinging strikes as Ross hit 94 mph with the sinker. Ross […]

Didi Gregorius Not In Lineup Wednesday Night

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Mets. It looks like just a day off for Gregorius, who is off to a good start this season with a .317 average, .797 OPS, two home runs and a stolen base through 11 games. Look for him to be […]

Byron Buxton Dealing With Tight Hamstring

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hamstring) was held out of the lineup for the nightcap Wednesday due to a tight hamstring. Buxton was unable to suit up for either game against the Red Sox in Wednesday's doubleheader, though the team said that he's fine and that he was held out for precautionary reasons. Buxton's fantasy […]

Andrew Vaughn Inserted Into White Sox Lineup On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox rookie first baseman/outfielder Andrew Vaughn will start and bat seventh on Wednesday versus the Cleveland Indians. Vaughn is the White Sox top hitting prospect and made the team out of camp, but manager Tony La Russa has limited the rookies play early on with Nick Williams getting three of the last four […]

Albert Abreu Optioned To Alternate Site

New York Yankees relief pitcher Albert Abreu was optioned to the team's alternate site following Wednesday's game, the team announced on Twitter. Abreu has appeared in two games this season, allowing one run on two walks with three strikeouts in two innings of work. Abreu has shown he can be a high-strikeout starting pitcher in […]

Jorge Polanco Drives In Two

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco went 1-for-3 with a two-run single in a 3-2 loss to the Red Sox, the first game of a doubleheader. Polanco had just five hits in 42 at-bats heading into the contest, so it was nice to see him come through with runners in scoring position, a potential booster […]

Yasmani Grandal Will Rest On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal will be on the bench for Wednesday's contest against the Cleveland Indians. Grandal is hitless in his last 11 at-bats and is hitting a weak .154 with one home run and six RBI to open the season. Grandal is sporting a .167 BABIP early on, which isn't encouraging, but […]

Johnny Cueto Exits Wednesday With Lat Tightness

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (lat) exited Wednesday's start with lat tightness and is being examined, according to Maria Guardado of MLB.com. Cueto exited the game with a trainer in the sixth inning, after allowing just three hits while striking out four in 5 2/3 innings of work. He has looked solid on […]

Kenta Maeda Unable To Keep Bases Empty In Loss

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda was hit with his first loss of the season in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat to the Red Sox. Maeda pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing three runs- two earned- on seven hits with five strikeouts and a pair of walks. The veteran right-hander struggled to keep the bases clear in the […]

Adam Engel Suffers Minor Setback

Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Engel (hamstring) had a minor setback and said he has had "four or five really good days in a row, making good progress." Engel is hopeful to return from a right hamstring strain for the teams next homestead starting on April 23. The White Sox have struggled in a major […]
