Jaren Jackson Jr. says Grizzlies need to ‘navigate’ being without Ja Morant

Memphis Grizzlies star Jaren Jackson Jr. stated he and his teammates have little choice but to deal with the absence of Ja Morant across the first 25 matches of the upcoming season, but Jackson stated Morant will still find ways to impact the team during his suspension. “We just gotta navigate it,” Jackson said after Team USA’s final day of training camp here in Sin City, and ahead of its first exhibition game in preparation for the FIBA World Cup against Puerto Rico on Monday night. “Obviously, we know that not having Ja is a real big hole to fill, but, you know, he’s […]

White Sox rally for 3 runs in ninth, beat Guardians 5-3 as teams await discipline for nasty brawl

Elvis Andrus knows he’ll one day miss playing at Progressive Field. The Guardians won’t miss him.

Andrus went 3 for 5, raising his career average to .376 (74 for 197) with nine homers, 30 RBI and 36 runs in Cleveland.

Max Scherzer settles in, strikes out 9 to win Rangers debut

Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer settled down after a shaky start to win his debut for the American League West-leading Texas Rangers, striking out nine over six innings and getting some help from his new teammates as they defeated the Chicago White Sox 5-3 on Thursday. Four of Chicago’s first five batters reached base in a three-run first inning when Scherzer (10-4) threw 37 pitches. The White Sox then had three singles in the second, though Scherzer benefitted from a double-play grounder and an inning-ending strikeout to prevent any more runs. Scherzer, acquired from the New York Mets in a trade over the weekend and […]

Astros’ Framber Valdez throws no-hitter vs Guardians on 93 pitches

Framber Valdez was determined to improve this month after a subpar July where he posted a 7.29 ERA. On the first day of August he definitely did that. Valdez threw the 16th no-hitter in Houston Astros history in a 2-0 triumph over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night. “The last couple of games I just wasn’t as focused as I could have been and I’ll be the first to admit that,” Valdez said in Spanish through a translator. “But today I just came very focused, very positive and just ready to leave it all out on the field.” Hours after the Astros reacquired ace Justin Verlander from the New […]

Bengals RB Trayveon Williams carted off with ankle injury

Trayveon Williams, one of the contenders to be the Cincinnati Bengals’ top backup running back, left Tuesday’s practice on a cart after suffering a right ankle injury. Following the departure of Samaje Perine in free agency, Williams was in the mix to become the team’s top reserve option behind starter Joe Mixon. After Tuesday’s practice, Bengals coach Zac Taylor stated he didn’t have any immediate updates on Williams’ status and that the team would continue to gather more information. However, Taylor praised Williams’ growth since the team drafted him in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL draft. “He’s always been a guy that’s […]

The Los Angeles Angels bolstered their lineup in a trade with the Colorado Rockies on Sunday, getting infielder C.J. Cron and outfielder Randal Grichuk along with cash considerations for minor league LHP Mason Albright and RHP Jake Madden.

Terence Crawford dismantled Errol Spence Jr. in a tour de force performance, scoring a ninth-round TKO in the long-awaited superfight to capture the undisputed welterweight championship Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena. Crawford floored Spence in Round 2 and twice in Round 7, a two-fisted beatdown to wrest away the IBF, WBA and WBC 147-pound titles to go along with his WBO belt.

Angels keeping Shohei Ohtani through trade deadline

Shohei Ohtani is staying with the Los Angeles Angels, at least for the remaining of the season. The Angels stated they have decided not to deal the two-way superstar, a morning after making a significant move that signaled they are in win-now mode and five days before the MLB trade deadline. “We’re going to roll the dice and see what happens,” Angels general manager Perry Minasian told reporters in Detroit before a doubleheader versus the Tigers on Thursday in which Ohtani started Game 1 on the mound. Ohtani will be a free agent in the offseason. Even though the franchise risks losing the 29-year-old […]
