Keegan Bradley To Rely On Ball-Striking At TPC San Antonio

Keegan Bradley has just a couple top-10 finishes this season, but his style of play should set up well for TPC San Antonio's layout.

Gary Woodland Not Worthy Of DFS Consideration

Gary Woodland has struggled this season, missing the cut in six of his 11 starts. He is not consistently hitting fairways in regulation, and that is impacting other areas of his game.

Juan Graterol Traded To Blue Jays For Cash Considerations

Los Angeles Angels catcher Juan Graterol was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays for cash consideration on Wednesday, according to Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic.

Paul George, Rajon Rondo Ruled Out For Thursday's Game

Ryan Moore has made just two cuts in six starts this season, but he enters TPC San Antonio with past success. In four career starts at the Valero Texas Open, Moore has posted results of third, seventh, eighth, and 18th. He is accurate off the tee, so that will definitely make his approach shots easier. […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Out Until At Least Mid-April

Phil Mickelson Unreliable At Valero

Phil Mickelson has posted top-35 finishes in each of his last two starts, but it is tough to trust him this week at TPC San Antonio. He continues to put himself in bad spots off the tee, leaving him more difficult iron shots. As much as Mickelson is known for his short game, his scrambling […]

Derrick Rose Ruled Out Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) was downgraded to out for Wednesday's game with the Timberwolves. Rose was initially expected to suit up, but a sore left ankle will keep him on the sidelines against Minnesota.

Hideki Matsuyama Set For Debut At TPC San Antonio

Hideki Matsuyama will make his first career start at TPC San Antonio after a T42 finish last week at WGC - Match Play.

Shayne Gostisbehere In Press Box On Wednesday

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere will be a healthy scratch as his team faces off against the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night. The 27-year-old, who was placed on waivers just yesterday by the Flyers, has been assigned to the taxi squad. Gostisbehere has somewhat fallen out of favor with his club after struggling to produce […]

Nolan Patrick Healthy Scratched On Wednesday

Philadelphia Flyers forward Nolan Patrick will not dress as his team looks to close out a back-to-back set with two wins over the reeling Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night.

John Wall Ruled Out Against Brooklyn

Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (knee) will miss Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Wall was questionable with his knee injury, but this is not a back-to-back set so it is a little worrisome. There is always the chance Wall undergoes a procedure on his knee to end his season, but that is more […]
