Courtland Sutton, K.J. Hamler Inactive In Week 1

The Denver Broncos are without two key receivers in their Week 1 meeting with the Tennessee Titans. Courtland Sutton (shoulder) and K.J. Hamler (hamstring) will both sit, which means the Broncos will be light on wide receivers. Rookie Jerry Jeudy should get a pretty sizable workload in his NFL debut, while both Tim Patrick and […]

Edwin Diaz Posts Elite Metrics As Numbers Trend Upward

New York Mets right-handed relief pitcher Edwin Diaz was much-maligned entering the 2020 season, but after striking out 39 batters in his first 19 innings, he has officially re-entered top-tier closer status.

Khama Worthy blew up on the UFC scene, winning his only two UFC bouts by finish. Coming into Saturday's co-main event, Worthy had quite the hype train behind him.

Oakland Athletics third baseman/designated hitter Jake Lamb will make his club debut during the second game of Monday’s doubleheader against Seattle, holding down the DH slot.

Kyle Seager Breaks Hitless Streak Monday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager went 1-for-4 in Monday's win over the Athletics. Seager had been struggling recently going hitless in his last five games. The batting average has dropped to .253 in that span as well. This season has been tough for fantasy owners because while Seager had been a top-level third baseman […]

Mike Rodriguez Does Everything Right But Gets The Loss

Mike Rodriguez did everything he needed to in the striking game but found himself stuck in a kimura submission in the third round by Ed Herman. Rodriguez more than doubled Herman's striking totals, landing 89 significant strikes and 114 total strikes, including multiple occasions where he landed strikes that dropped Herman. The hope is that […]

James Conner Injures Ankle

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) was observed getting his ankle taped during Monday night's contest against the Giants.

Marco Gonzales Gives Up Five Runs In Win

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales gave up five runs on six hits and a walk through six innings in Monday's win over the Athletics. This was the most runs that Gonzales has given up this season, so the fact that he was still able to record seven strikeouts and get the win means it […]

Zack Wheeler Works Bullpen Session Monday

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitcher Zack Wheeler worked a 41-pitch bullpen Monday, the first step in his return to the mound after sustaining a fingernail injury last week.
