She will also have a […]

Vanessa Melo Fighting With Back Against The Wall

Vanessa Melo (10-7) is fighting with her back against the wall, facing the dreaded 0-2 UFC start.

In her last bout against Tracy Cortez, Melo threw 80% of her strikes at the head, which […]

Davey Grant Hoping For Breakout Performance

Davey Dangerous Grant (10-4) is 2-3 in the UFC and has a solid chance at getting to .500. Grant is dangerous (as his nickname states) on the ground, with eight of his wins coming by submission. He has yet to attempt a submission in five UFC bouts, but that's always something in his back pocket […]

Martin Day Looking For First UFC Victory

Martin Day (9-3) will look for his first UFC victory in the first fight taking place at UFC 251 on Fight Island.

Kevin Streelman Sports Impressive Course History And Good Form

After missing the cut at both the Charles Schwab Challenge and the RBC Heritage, Kevin Streelman logged an unconventional second-place finish at the Travelers Championship. He quietly played really well, never looking like a contender until the final four holes when Brendon Todd fell from his perch. The Illinois native gained strokes in all four […]

Clayton Kershaw Tabbed As Opening Day Starter

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw will be on the mound for Opening Day against the San Francisco Giants to kick off the 2020 season. It will be Kershaw's ninth Opening Day start in the past 10 years. The veteran left-hander is already close to being fully stretched out, meaning he will be able to […]

Matthew Wolff Debuts At Muirfield Village

After an exciting second-place finish at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit last week, Matthew Wolff heads to Dublin, Ohio, to play at the classic Muirfield Village Golf Club for the first time in his young career. The Oklahoma State alum putted lights-out all weekend long and looked unstoppable in his birdie-filled Friday and Saturday […]

Max Muncy Day-to-Day With Bruised Finger

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy did not take part in Monday's intrasquad game after getting hit on his finger on Sunday.

Jason Kokrak Looks To Get Off The Struggle Bus

Following an encouraging third-place finish at the Charles Schwab Classic, Jason Kokrak missed the cut at his last two events in Hilton Head, SC, and Cromwell, CT. In the RBC Heritage and Travelers combined, he lost 4.3 strokes on the greens. Despite being born in Canada, Kokrak grew up and played college golf in Ohio, […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Eyeing Exclusive Record

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. can potentially join the likes of Alex Rodriguez, Mike Trout and Ken Griffey Jr. as the only players in MLB history to hit 80 home runs and steal 70 bases by the age of 22. Even in the shortened 2020 campaign, Acuna only needs 13 HRs and 17 stolen bases […]

Si Woo Kim Has History At Muirfield Village

Si Woo Kim putted his way (yep, you read that right) to a made cut at the Rocket Mortgage Classic last week following his T-11 finish at the Travelers Championship a week prior. The showing in Connecticut was promising, as he gained strokes in all categories but putting. However, he reversed that completely in Detroit, […]

Gary Woodland Returns To Muirfield Village

After a 62nd-place finish at the RBC Heritage, a missed cut at the Travelers and a week off last week, Gary Woodland returns to action in Dublin, Ohio, for the Workday Charity Open. The break was much-needed, as the Arizona native had lost multiple strokes off the tee for three straight weeks and tacked on […]

Aaron Holiday Could Start At Point Guard

Indiana Pacers guard Aaron Holiday is looking at an increased role with Victor Oladipo opting out of the upcoming restart. There's a good chance that Holiday starts at point guard and sees roughly 30 minutes per game. The Pacers will be without Jeremy Lamb (knee) and Oladipo during the restart and both of them played […]

Nick Castellanos Doesn't Want To DH

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos has made it clear that he doesn't want to serve as the team's designated hitter with the universal DH in play in the National League this year.

Nets Targeting Amir Johnson

Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan and forward/center Nicolas Claxton (shoulder) will not be participating in the upcoming NBA restart. That means that Jarrett Allen is basically the only center on the roster. The organization is expected to bring in a veteran big man before the action starts later this month. Thirty-three-year-old center Amir Johnson is reportedly […]

Brewers Sign First-Rounder Garrett Mitchell

The Milwaukee Brewers signed first-rounder Garrett Mitchell (20th overall) on Tuesday for around slot value at $3.242 million, according to a source. The deal is pending a physical. The outfielder from UCLA slipped a bit in this year's draft, but the 21-year-old is extremely toolsy and has a nice frame at 6-foot-3, 215 pounds. Mitchell […]
