Not long after that, Anderson confirmed he would play for China at the FIBA World Cup, which tips off Aug. 25 […]

Aaron Judge faces live pitching for 1st time since toe injury

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge faced live pitching on Sunday for the first time since tearing a ligament in his right toe on June 3. In a simulated match versus Jonathan Loaisiga, who is rehabbing from right elbow surgery, Judge saw 16 pitches. He did not put any balls in play but fouled off four pitches, including one to the upper deck behind home plate. “To be able to take pitches where your swing says no, those are tests that he’s got to go through in working his way back,” manager Aaron Boone said before the Yankees concluded a three-game series with […]

Mikael Ymer suspended for 18 months over doping test appearance

Sweden’s Mikael Ymer has been suspended from professional tennis for 18 months after the International Tennis Federation appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport when he was initially cleared of three whereabout failures. Ymer, 24, stated he had been charged with a potential anti-doping rule violation in January 2022 for missing three out-of-competition test attempts in a 12-month period. Ymer said he had fought the charges in a hearing and was cleared by an independent tribunal in June 2022 but that the ITF had appealed the decision. The CAS stated the ITF had requested a two-year period of ineligibility, but the […]

Dodgers place Jake Marisnick on 10-day injured list

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed newly signed outfielder Jake Marisnick on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Marisnick recorded a single before exiting Tuesday’s 10-3 triumph at Baltimore with a left hamstring strain. Including four matches with the Dodgers, Marisnick is batting .237 with two homers and 10 RBIs in 46 games with the Dodgers, Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers this campaign. The Dodgers made headlines last week when they signed Marisnick, a member of the 2017 Houston Astros team that defeated Los Angeles in the World Series but later was punished by Major League Baseball after an investigation confirmed they cheated by using a camera-based sign-stealing system.

Ohtani still on track to start for Angels vs. Pirates Friday

Shohei Ohtani, dealing with a troublesome finger during his past three trips to the pitcher’s mound, is still on track to make his next programmed start Friday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates, Los Angeles Angels manager Phil Nevin stated prior to Monday’s series opener versus the New York Yankees. Ohtani first pitched through a cracked nail in his right middle finger June 27, which developed into a blister when he took the mound July 4. The additional rest afforded by the All-Star break didn’t completely solve the issue; Ohtani was still nursing the cracked fingernail and blister while being charged with five runs (four earned) […]

Schwarber hits 25th homer and winning sacrifice fly in 12th as Phillies beat Padres 7-6

Kyle Schwarber hit his 25th home run and ended the match with a 12th-inning sacrifice fly, giving the Philadelphia Phillies a 7-6 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. The defending NL champions won three games in a row over the Padres on the heels of a three-game losing skid, including a series-opening loss to San Diego to start the second half. The Padres, who lost in the NLCS to the Phillies last fall, dropped to 44-50, including 19-27 on the road. Philadelphia (51-42) overcame a 3-0 deficit, then wasted a 5-3 lead when pinch-hitter Fernando Tatis Jr. had a two-run single in the eighth […]

‘If He’s Ready, He’ll Run’: Casa Creed To Point For Fourstardave Repeat

LRE Racing and JEH Racing Stable’s 7-year-old multiple Grade 1 winner Casa Creed proved he is still at the top of his game with a one-length score over Grade 1 winner Annapolis in Saturday’s Kelso (G3) at Saratoga Race Course. Trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott, the Jimmy Creed bay got his third graded victory traveling one-mile over the Spa’s inner turf, adding to scores in the 2019 National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame (G2) and last year’s Fourstardave Handicap (G1). It’s fitting that the evergreen Casa Creed will now point to a title defense in the $500,000 Fourstardave Handicap […]

Lakers’ LeBron James confirms return for 21st NBA season

There’s still time left on the clock for LeBron James’ career. The Lakers star revealed Wednesday night at the ESPYS in Los Angeles that he will continue playing. James openly pondered retirement after the Lakers’ playoff sweep by the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference finals, but he will become the sixth player in NBA history to play in his 21st season or beyond — joining Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, Robert Parish, Kevin Willis and Vince Carter, who has the record with 22. “I don’t care how many more points I score or what I can or cannot do on the floor,” James said after accepting the […]

Athletics have begun Las Vegas relocation process

The Athletics, poised to move out of Oakland and into Las Vegas, have “begun to submit information related to their relocation application,” Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred said Tuesday, adding that the application is “not complete at this point.” About a month ago, the Nevada State Legislature approved a $380 million bill that would help fund a proposed 30,000-seat, $1.5 billion retractable-roof ballpark on the Tropicana hotel site along the Vegas strip. The A’s, based in Oakland since 1968, hope to break ground next year and open the venue in time for the 2028 season. Their lease at the Oakland […]

Cardinals star Nolan Arenado prepared for trade possibility

St. Louis Cardinals All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado knows that despite his superstar status, he could be on the chopping block just like anyone else as the trade deadline approaches. “It is a business, right?” Arenado said. “I’ve been traded once. I think that shocked a lot of people at that time,” he added. “I guess it doesn’t surprise me anymore what happens in this game.” Arenado made the comments from the All-Star festivities in Seattle, where he is the lone Cardinals player in this year’s Midsummer Classic.
