Since his impressive run of six straight finishes of T17 or better, including the Masters, Collin Morikawa has cooled off slightly, recording just one result inside the top 20 in his last five starts. He'll look to get back on track at the U.S. Open, where he's posted four straight top-14 finishes. Oakmont Country Club will test every aspect of a player's game, particularly tee-to-green performance, driving accuracy, and approach shots from the rough. Morikawa ranks fifth in strokes gained from tee to green (plus-1.153 per round), sixth on approach (plus0.710), and second in driving accuracy. However, he sits in just the 21st percentile in greens in regulation from over 150 yards out of the rough. If he can keep the ball in the fairway, Morikawa should once again be in the mix at the U.S. Open.

Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the Pittsburgh Pirates are promoting right-handed pitcher
Carmen Mlodzinski to the big-league roster. Pitcher
Kyle Nicolas was optioned in a corresponding move. The South Carolina product started 2025 in the majors but was sent down after a poor showing through his first nine outings (5.67 ERA, 1.61 WHIP). He's pitched well for Triple-A Indianapolis since then -- yielding 11 hits and two earned runs over 15 2/3 innings (three starts) with a matching 1.15 ERA and WHIP. Mlodzinski will reportedly work out of the bullpen in a long-relief role, similar to that of teammate
Braxton Ashcraft.

Matt Fitzpatrick remembers Oakmont Country Club well. The English golfer was in position to contend when a Saturday 79 derailed his hopes in 2016. Fitzpatrick did later win a U.S. Open in 2022 and has several Top 20 results. Fitzpatrick did contend at the PGA Championship tying for eighth place with back-to-back weekend scores of 72. He has shown better form the last several events and did improve his scrambling from the rough from outside the Top 150 to 121st. His sand saves are still Top 20 on the PGA Tour through 13 events. Fitzpatrick is a solid betting value as a +12000 long shot (+280 Top 20). Fitzpatrick has three results inside the Top 20 since 2018.

New York Jets wide receiver
Garrett Wilson and cornerback Sauce Gardner, who are both seeking contract extensions this offseason, are participating in the team's mandatory minicamp this week, according to Newsday's Al Iannazzone. Wilson is entering yet another season with a new quarterback, this time his old college teammate
Justin Fields. The 24-year-old former 10th overall pick in 2022 out of Ohio State has put up three straight 1,000-yard seasons to begin his NFL career and had a career-best 101 catches and seven touchdowns in 17 starts in 2024. Wilson will be the team's unquestioned WR1 this year now that
Davante Adams is gone, but his fantasy upside will depend on the efficiency of New York's offense and Fields. The Jets are expected to lean heavily on their ground game, making Wilson more of a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 in fantasy.

Jordan Spieth has not won a U.S. Open since 2015. However, the American golfer has been in better form in 2025. He has four Top 10 results and has been close to victory on several occasions. Spieth is 31 and yet it feels like he has golfed forever. Since that 2015 triumph, Spieth has only finished inside the Top 20 once, however. That was 2021 at the Torrey Pines South course (T-19). The one thing that is always an adventure for Spieth is scrambling from the rough. He ranks 144th on tour (53.08%). If that number rises to above 60% this week, Spieth has a chance to be a solid DFS and betting option for fantasy players.

Shane Lowry has been in excellent form in 2025, recording 10 top-25, four top-10s, and two runner-up finishes through 14 events. He now heads to the U.S. Open, where he's made the cut in eight of 12 appearances, including four top-20 finishes. Oakmont Country Club will test every aspect of a player's game, particularly from tee to green, driving accuracy, and approach shots from the rough. Lowry currently ranks second on tour in strokes gained from tee to green (plus-1.464 per round), 28th in driving accuracy, and second in strokes gained on approach (plus-1.020). He's also in the 91st percentile in greens in regulation from over 150 yards out of the rough. As long as his putter holds up -- he ranks just 103rd in strokes gained putting -- Lowry is one of the strongest value plays on the DraftKings slate at just $7,300.

Brooks Koepka is hard to count out at Oakmont Country Club. The American golfer has won five majors and that includes the aforementioned U.S. Open triumphs in 2017 and 2018. Playing on the LIV Tour has been a mixed blessing for Koepka, although he recently won America's tournament in 2023. The first two majors in 2025 have not quite been so kind. He missed the cut at the Masters and the PGA Championship. He did not even shoot better than a 74 in any of those four rounds. Koepka places a lot of pressure on himself but he knows the rough and the landing area well on this golf course. Currently, Koepka stands at +6000 to win and is always worth a look (+260 for a Top 20).

Viktor Hovland has been hit or miss at the U.S. Open. The young Norwegian golfer has three short stays and three Top 20 results since 2019. Oakmont presents as one of the toughest challenges Hovland has faced in some time. He did win the Valspar Championship in March after missing three consecutive cuts. It is safe to say Hovland has been inconsistent. Since an opening 65 at Pebble Beach in February, Hovland has not had a round or rounds that put any fear into the field. For a golfer with high expectations, that speaks volumes. Also, he only ranks 121st in strokes gained to putting (-0.104). If he struggles with the uneven greens and rough, it may be another weekend to avoid even a Top 20 wager on Hovland.

Since his run of five straight top-13 finishes in March, Michael Kim has cooled off, posting just one top-25 result in his last nine starts. He'll look to rebound at the U.S. Open, where he's made only two career appearances, most recently missing the cut in 2023. Success at Oakmont Country Club will rely heavily on tee-to-green play, driving accuracy, and approach shots from the rough. Kim ranks 32nd in strokes gained from tee to green (plus-0.716 per round) and sits in the 82nd percentile in greens in regulation from over 150 yards out of the rough, but is just 108th in driving accuracy. He's roughly field-average with his putter (minus-0.001 strokes per round) but gains a solid 0.358 strokes around the green, good for 15th on tour. Despite a shaky track record in majors (five missed cuts in nine starts), Kim has the tools to compete. At just $6,300 on DraftKings, he's a boom-or-bust value option that could swing a DFS lineup.

Russell Henley has had an interesting 2025 season. The American golfer won the Arnold Palmer in March and did finish T-5 at the Memorial in his last event. Henley heads into the year's third major seeking to play on Saturday. Henley missed the cut at The Masters and then the PGA Championship. The golfer enjoyed his first Top 10 result at a U.S. Open in 2024 at Pinehurst No.2. One of the keys for Henley is his ability to battle. He clawed his way to a T-5 at the Memorial punctuated by a final round 71. Challenging pin placements, rough, and potentially hazardous weekend weather makes Henley a potentially good DFS option for the weekend.

Tyrrell Hatton has been in decent form this season, posting seven top-25 finishes in eight LIV starts, along with a T14 at the Masters and a T60 at the PGA Championship. He now turns his attention to the U.S. Open, where he's made the cut in five of eight appearances, with four finishes inside the top 27. This year's tournament returns to Oakmont Country Club, a notoriously difficult course with 28-yard-wide fairways and nearly five-inch rough. Ball-striking will be crucial, and Hatton ranks 18th on LIV in strokes gained in ball-striking (plus-0.30 per round), 18th from tee to green (plus-0.46), and 32nd off the tee (minus-0.11). While Hatton should be able to make the cut, his overall ceiling remains limited, especially due to a lack of real success in major championships.

Bryson DeChambeau continues to dominate, posting top-five finishes in six straight events across both LIV and major championships, including a T5 at the Masters and a runner-up at the PGA Championship. He now looks to extend that run at the U.S. Open, where he famously edged out Rory McIlroy last year to claim his second career title at this event. This year's tournament heads to Oakmont Country Club, a notoriously demanding layout with 28-yard-wide fairways and rough approaching five inches. Ball-striking will be critical, and DeChambeau leads LIV in strokes gained in ball-striking (plus-2.06 per round), from tee to green (plus-2.44), and off the tee (plus-1.92). He's not losing strokes in any area of his game, is in elite form, and is poised for another strong U.S. Open performance.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base, and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Mariners. The home run was his 10th of the season, and it came in the fourth inning off
Logan Evans to extend the Diamondbacks' lead to 3-0. Gurriel is having a steady 2025 campaign thus far, slashing .258/.304/.446 with 10 home runs, 37 RBI, 24 runs scored, and four stolen bases. He also continues to bat fifth or sixth in one of the best offenses in baseball (fourth in runs scored) and should continue to provide fantasy managers with opportunities to continue to contribute at a high level. In points leagues specifically, he does not strike out a ton (14.4 percent), so that, combined with his ability to drive in runs, makes him a valuable asset.

Arizona Diamondbacks speedy outfielder
Alek Thomas went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, a stolen base, and four total runs scored in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Mariners. It was quite the evening for Thomas, as he was active on the basepaths and blasted his third home run of the season. The home run came in the eighth inning with the Diamondbacks already up 9-3 in the contest. Thomas is enjoying a nice 2025 campaign, slashing .273/.315/.395 with 21 runs scored, 19 RBI, and four stolen bases. He has taken off in June, slashing .370/.393/.593. He seems to have an everyday role with the Diamondbacks, perhaps occasionally sitting against a left-handed pitcher, but the 25-year-old provides a lot of speed and good defense, making him an interesting player if he can continue to stay hot and get the opportunities. For now, he can remain on the waiver wire in most formats.

Corey Conners heads to the U.S. Open in strong form after a T27 finish at the Canadian Open, his 10th top-30 result of the season. He's made just one cut in six career U.S. Open starts, but that appearance resulted in a T9 finish last year. This year's tournament returns to Oakmont Country Club, a notoriously tough course featuring 28-yard-wide fairways and rough nearing five inches. Ball-striking will be critical, and Conners ranks 24th in strokes gained from tee to green (plus-0.747 per round), eighth in driving accuracy, and is in the 61st percentile in greens in regulation from over 150 yards out of the rough. His weakness lies around the green, where he ranks 113th, losing 0.043 strokes per round. Conners' elite tee-to-green play gives him solid upside, but his track record at the U.S. Open and short-game concerns add volatility to his outlook.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder
Brandon Marsh (elbow) was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cubs due to left elbow soreness, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. Marsh appeared to injure his elbow after sliding into second base during the second inning. The good news is that he was not removed from the game until the sixth inning, suggesting that the injury may be minor. The Phillies will likely provide more clarity on the injury in the coming days.
Johan Rojas entered the game for Marsh and would likely pick up some starts in center field if Marsh needs to sit out another few games. On the season, Marsh is slashing a modest .241/.341/.345 with two home runs, 13 RBI, three stolen bases, and 15 runs scored.

Colorado Rockies outfielder and corner infielder
Kris Bryant (back) played catch on the field before Tuesday's game against the Giants, the team reports. Bryant had an ablation procedure on his back on May 8. The surgery was designed to relieve the pain that has hampered his rehab from the chronic lumbar degenerative disc disease that has limited him to 11 games thus far in 2025. The former MVP has struggled mightily with back issues throughout his career, and based on his last few seasons with the Rockies, fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be much of an asset outside of a potential hot streamer bat for a couple of weeks once he's healthy. Although it's a positive sign he is taking his first steps towards action, there is still no concrete timeline for his return.

Ben Griffin is one of the hottest golfers on the PGA Tour not named Scottie Scheffler. The American golfer has three Top 10 results including a win at the Charles Schwab Challenge and a runner-up at the Memorial. There is always the risk of an implosion. Again, a young golfer heading to Oakmont on a hot streak could be considered troubling. The one major red flag with Griffin is scrambling from the rough (154th - 52.14%). Some have reported the greens are extremely slick. It would not take much for shots to slide into that deep rough. From there, Griffin's scrambling from distance (30+ yards) ranks 119th. At +7500 to win, Griffin is more valued by sportsbooks than golfers like Sam Berger, Keegan Bradley, and Daniel Berger.

Sam Burns delivered a miraculous Sunday performance at the Canadian Open, firing an eight-under 62 to force a playoff with Ryan Fox. Although he fell just short of the win, it marked his sixth straight top-30 finish and gives him plenty of momentum heading into this week's U.S. Open, where he finished T9 last year. Success at Oakmont Country Club, one of the toughest tests in golf, will hinge on tee-to-green play, driving accuracy, and approach shots from the rough. Burns ranks 132nd in strokes gained from tee to green (minus-0.221 per round), 84th in driving accuracy, and sits in the 39th percentile in greens in regulation from over 150 yards out of the rough. Where he separates himself is on the greens, leading the PGA Tour in strokes gained putting per round (plus-1.056). Given the speed and difficulty of Oakmont's greens and the form he's shown, Burns profiles as a solid option for both DFS players and bettors this week.

Wyndham Clark has not had the best two months. The American golfer has largely struggled since April and that includes five straight results outside the Top 50. Clark has one Top 10 result and that occurred in March. Clark is not the same golfer from even last year. His scrambling from the rough ranks 150th at 52.59%. Furthermore, Clark comes in 132nd when it comes to greens in regulation (63.78%). Despite averaging 4.19 birdies per round (19th), Clark's scoring average has ballooned to 70.62 (122nd). Clark will be an attractive target because of previous results. He did win the 2023 U.S. Open but he finished outside the Top 50 in 2021,2022, and 2024. Clark could be a high-risk betting option.

Daniel Berger does not want to make it three missed cuts in a row. The American golfer opened up at The Memorial with an 81. Ultimately, he missed the cut and promptly took a week off. It will be intriguing to see how he handles the rough at Oakmont. Everyone wants to talk about approach and drives, etc. How does Berger fare if the weather turns poorly? Putting has already been inconsistent where Berger ranks 120th in strokes gained at -0.092. Berger is 10th in scrambling from the rough at 66.06% but this rough is a half foot deep or more in spots. Combine that with potentially breezy conditions as the tournament goes along and fading Berger from a DFS standpoint is reasonable heading into the U.S. Open.

Keegan Bradley continues to put together a consistent season, most recently finishing T7 at the Memorial—his fourth top-10 result of the year. He now turns his attention to the U.S. Open, an event where he's historically struggled, making six cuts but recording only two finishes inside the top 27 across 12 starts. This year's tournament will be held at Oakmont Country Club, a notoriously difficult layout with fairways averaging just 28 yards in width and rough reaching up to five inches thick. Clubhead speed, driving accuracy, and approach play from the rough will be critical. Bradley ranks 47th in driving accuracy, 111th in clubhead speed, and sits in just the 23rd percentile in greens in regulation from over 150 yards out of the rough. However, he also ranks third on tour in strokes gained from tee to green (plus-1.220 per round) and 14th on approach (plus-0.577). While Bradley offers upside thanks to his elite ball-striking, his U.S. Open track record may give DFS managers reason to look elsewhere this week.

Darius Garland (toe) may begin the 2025-26 NBA campaign with a different team. Sources have told Grant Afseth of RG that the Sacramento Kings are interested in acquiring Garland. The Kings are looking to bring in another point guard after trading
De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs in February. Afseth also mentions
Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks as a potential option for the Kings, but trade negotiations surrounding him have "stalled." Garland was also linked with an exit from Cleveland last offseason. After remaining with the team, Garland enjoyed a fine season, averaging 20.6 points and 6.7 assists while earning his second All-Star selection.

Phoenix Suns forward
Kevin Durant will likely be a member of a new team soon. Speaking on ESPN's Get Up, NBA insider Brian Windhorst said he believes that Durant will be traded "in the coming weeks." There are reportedly a "handful of teams" interested in trading for the veteran superstar, including the New York Knicks. Durant, who has one year remaining on his contract, has played only two full seasons with the Suns and is poised to join his third team since the 2022-23 campaign. Despite approaching 37 soon, Durant continues to be highly productive on the court and should still be one of the top options for fantasy teams next season.

Willy Adames homered in Tuesday's 6-5 comeback win over the Colorado Rockies. Adames opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the first inning, then tied the game in the fifth with a 439-foot blast to center field—his sixth home run of the season. He finished 1-for-3 with a walk and an additional run scored. The 29-year-old has struggled in his first season with the Giants, slashing .194/.283/.316 with a .599 OPS through 66 games. His .269 wOBA is a career low, but the Giants hope this performance signals better days ahead.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center
Giannis Antetokounmpo appears set to stay put for another offseason. According to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, there is currently "no trade market" for Antetokounmpo because he has not asked for a move and the Bucks are "not looking" to trade him. The two-time MVP has been linked with a move elsewhere after the Bucks suffered a third consecutive first-round exit in the playoffs. It was reported that he's "open-minded" about leaving the team. Several teams, including the Toronto Raptors, Houston Rockets, and New York Knicks, have been seen as potential suitors for Antetokounmpo. However, it looks like his future lies in Milwaukee, at least for now.

Priester struck out seven and allowed one run on seven hits, securing his fourth win of the season. After moving between teams and struggling with consistency last year, the 24-year-old is settling into his role with Milwaukee. He currently owns a 3.65 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and 43 strikeouts in 61 2/3 innings, all career bests. Priester will look to earn his fourth consecutive win in his next scheduled start Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals.
