Seth Beer Tests Positive For COVID-19

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman/outfielder Seth Beer, the team's No. 12 prospect per MLB Pipeline, tested positive for COVID-19 after intake testing was completed. Beer is unlikely to be a realistic option for the D-Backs in 2020, but he was a beast of a hitter at Clemson and became a first-round pick of the Astros in […]

Kyle Higashioka Has A Sore Neck

New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka (neck) was scratched from Tuesday’s intrasquad game with neck soreness. The Yankees are likely just being cautious with Higashioka, and the extent of his neck issues should be clarified in the coming days. Higashioka is expected to back up Gary Sanchez this season, giving him the possibility of semi-consistent […]

Clint Frazier Dealing With Foot Issue

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier (foot) has been dealing with a foot issue over the past few months, according to manager Aaron Boone. Frazier has reportedly been able to run and play defense despite the issue, so it seems unlikely that his foot will keep him from playing time this season. The odd man […]

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

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 […]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Isaac did join the […]

San Diego Padres outfield prospect Edward Olivares has carried his impressive spring training into the start of summer camp.

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.
