Manu Tuilagi named for England ahead of potential last test

Tuilagi comes into the squad for the injured winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, who showed signs of concussion after last week’s dramatic win against Ireland at Twickenham. Looking for the best […]

Rory McIlroy shares lead at Players despite drama on 7th hole

Despite hitting two tee shots into the water and being at the center of a controversial drop after the second one, four-time major champion Rory McIlroy opened the 50th Players Championship with a 7-under 65 to grab a share of the first-round lead Thursday.

OG Anunoby lifts Knicks to blowout win over 76ers in return

Jackson Merrill to join Padres for opener in Korea, Shildt says

San Diego Padres manager Mike Shildt stopped just short of declaring that shortstop prospect Jackson Merrill has already locked down an everyday role in his outfield, even though it has become fairly obvious throughout camp. All he would say Tuesday is that the 20-year-old shortstop-turned-center fielder will be on the Padres’ season-opening trip to South Korea. “He’s earned his way on the plane,” Shildt said shortly after watching Merrill hit an opposite-field home run off All-Star starter Zac Gallen. “He’s earned what’s coming after the plane.” The Padres started spring training with only two outfielders on their 40-man roster and promised to […]
