Homa won the Genesis Invitational […]

Billy Horschel Looks To Rebound At The Players

Billy Horschel heads to The Players Championship on the heels of a surprising missed cut in last week's Arnold Palmer Invitational. It was Horschel's first career missed cut at Bay Hill. He'll attempt to rebound this week at TPC Sawgrass, a course where he's historically produced solid, if unspectacular results. The Florida native has made […]

Injury Concerns Surround Justin Rose This Week

There are lots of unanswered injury questions surrounding Justin Rose this week. Rose was forced to withdraw in the third round of last week's Arnold Palmer Invitational. The Englishman was performing well at Bay Hill until making a quadruple-bogey nine Saturday afternoon. After trying to give it a go on the next hole, Rose notified […]

Paul Casey Has Been Erratic At TPC Sawgrass

Paul Casey has been a rock-solid performer in 2021. The Englishman posted a win at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic in January and has produced top-10 finishes in all three of his starts on the PGA Tour this year. Despite his consistent play as of late, Casey has been extremely erratic at The Players Championship […]

Texas Rangers catcher Sam Huff, who suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain at the beginning of camp, started light baseball activities on Tuesday, according to Jeff Wilson of the Forth Worth Star-Telegram. The 23-year-old backstop is the Rangers' No. 2 prospect and was very impressive over his limited appearances last season. He slashed .355/.394/.742 with […]

Cincinnati Scratches Sonny Gray Tuesday, Injury Not A Factor

Cincinnati Reds right-handed pitcher Sonny Gray had initially been slated to start Tuesday's Cactus League outing versus the Dodgers, but the team opted to have him throw a side session instead. From Gray himself, there was no injury-related reason for the decision, it appears that he merely just wanted to do further side work to […]

Luke Weaver Rocked for Four Runs Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Luke Weaver struggled on Tuesday against the Rockies, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk over three innings to earn the loss. Weaver was dinged by the long ball in the loss, allowing three home runs including back-to-back homers to Ryan McMahon and Trevor Story in the third inning. […]

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado collected two knocks and a walk Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox, lifting his spring slash to .400/.538/.600 in 13 plate appearances.

Pedro Baez Lands On COVID-19 Injured List

Houston Astros right-handed pitcher Pedro Baez has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list following a positive test for the virus Tuesday. Baez was a major addition to the Houston bullpen this off-season, likely setting him up to be the setup man ahead of Ryan Pressly. Baez was remarkably consistent during a seven-year tenure with […]

Kyle Lewis Drives In Two Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis has picked up speed in spring training lately. Lewis collected two more hits on Tuesday against the Royals, including a triple. He also drove in two runs and scored one. A day after making a leaping catch at the wall to rob Shohei Ohtani of a three-run home run, Lewis' […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Battles Flu-Like Symptoms, Faces Absences

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (illness) was held out of Tuesday's lineup and figures to miss at least one more day as he battles flu-like symptoms. It sounds as if San Diego is just being cautious with their star, as manager Jayce Tingler said, "If we were in-season, 100 percent he would be […]

Ljay Newsome Throws Three One-Hit Innings

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Ljay Newsome had a solid start Tuesday against the Royals, throwing three innings while only allowing a single hit. Newsome struck out three Kansas City batters and looked very impressive in the process, keeping the ball low in the zone and staying ahead in the count. Newsome's hot and cold 2020 […]

Joely Rodriguez Will Throw Off A Mound This Week

Texas Rangers reliever Joely Rodriguez, who reported to camp with a sprained ankle, is scheduled to throw off a mound this week, according to beat writer Jeff Wilson. Rangers GM Jon Daniels said Rodriguez was "a couple weeks behind" the other relievers once camp started so it's encouraging that he's progressed to mound work this […]

Dylan Moore Leads Off With A Homer

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore blitzed the Royals' Danny Duffy Tuesday, leading off the game with a home run. Moore, who also reached base by a walk, has enjoyed a solid spring training to the tune of a .946 OPS. His primary competition for at-bats, Shed Long Jr., has been held out with a […]

Boston Red Sox utilityman Danny Santana (arm) has not yet appeared in Grapefruit League action as he continues to build up his arm strength.

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes went 2-for-2 at the plate against the Braves on Tuesday afternoon to extend his hitting streak to five games. Hayes doubled, drew a walk and scored two runs as he is now slashing .500/.563/.929 to start off the spring. He has yet to homer but he is still showing […]

Ty France Continues To Mash

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France continues to crush the competition in spring training. On Tuesday against the Royals, France picked up two more hits, a double and a home run, while reaching base a third time with a walk. He is now batting .615 for spring training, with a 2.128 OPS. France's underlying numbers […]

Malcolm Subban Takes On Struggling Stars

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Malcolm Subban will go for his fifth win of the season in Tuesday's meeting with the Dallas Stars, who are in a horrible slump.

Alex Colome Strikes Out The Side Against Baltimore

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome looked sharp in his third Grapefruit League appearance on Tuesday. Colome worked one inning, striking out the side on 15 pitches while inducing five swings-and-misses.

Anton Khudobin Goes Up Against Chicago

Dallas Stars goaltender Anton Khudobin will return to the crease for Tuesday's battle with the Blackhawks after Jake Oettinger logged two consecutive starts in back-to-back days over the weekend. Khudobin had been cold lately, so it's no surprise he was forced to sit out back-to-back games, especially with Oettinger picking up a shutout in Saturday's […]

Blake Snell Blanks White Sox Across Two Innings

San Diego Padres starter Blake Snell tossed two shutout frames in Tuesday's spring training contest against the Chicago White Sox. Snell required 22 pitches to record one strikeout and permit one knock, extending his spring ledger to three scoreless innings. The 28-year-old is locked in as the Friars No. 2 starter. In five big league […]

Connor Hellebuyck Makes 20th Start Of The Year

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will man the crease in Tuesday's meeting with Toronto. The 27-year-old is having a fine season and sits on an 11-7-1 record with a 2.73 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage, but he has dropped two of his last three decisions, and he boasts some ugly career numbers against […]

Rich Hill, Michael Wacha Set To Open Year In Rotation

The Tampa Bay Rays are operating as if veteran left-hander Rich Hill and right-hander Michael Wacha will begin the 2021 season as members of their five-man starting rotation. The role of each was previously unclear, particularly with the team's bevy of exciting young arms. Hill is coming off an eight-start stretch in '20 that saw […]
