New York Yankees move Matt Carpenter to 60-day IL, hoping veteran is ready for playoffs

After suffering a broken foot during an at-bat in early August, Carpenter had to be in a walking boot for well over a month.

Carpenter, 36, had hoped to return for the four-game series versus the Texas Rangers that starts Monday. But with the Yankees needing to make room on […]

Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash lauds Ben Simmons’ versatility as ‘incredible playmaker’

Coach Steve Nash says he doesn’t care if Ben Simmons “ever shoots a jump shot” for the Brooklyn Nets because of the versatility and unique skill set that he brings to the team. “Very unique,” Nash said of Simmons after the second full practice of training camp on Wednesday. “That’s what makes Ben great. That’s why I don’t care if he ever shoots a jump shot for the Brooklyn Nets. He’s welcome to, but that is not what makes him special and not what we need. He’s a great complement to our team, and he’s an incredible basketball player because of his versatility.” Simmons, […]

Judge held homerless, still at 60, Jays beat Yankees in 10th

Aaron Judge stayed at 60 home runs, one shy of Roger Maris’ American League record, and the New York Yankees’ bid to clinch the AL East stalled when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit an RBI single in the 10th to give the Toronto Blue Jays a 3-2 victory Monday night.
