Trout delivers early as Angels move slugger to leadoff spot

Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington was hoping to get a spark by putting Mike Trout in the leadoff spot. The three-time AL MVP quickly obliged. Hitting leadoff for the first time since 2020, Trout drove a fastball from Baltimore’s Grayson Rodriguez off the auxiliary scoreboard above the wall in right-center field in the first inning to give the Angels an early 1-0 lead Tuesday night. It was the sixth leadoff homer of Trout’s career and first since Sept. 28, 2012. Trout’s ninth home run of the season tied for the major league lead.

Sixers’ Tyrese Maxey edges Coby White as NBA’s most improved

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey was named the NBA’s most improved player Tuesday night, defeating out Chicago Bulls guard Coby White and Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun. Maxey, 23, had a breakthrough season with the Sixers, averaging career highs in points (25.9), rebounds (3.7), assists (6.2), steals (1.0) and 3-pointers made (212). He also became an All-Star for the first time as he transitioned into playing point guard full-time following James Harden being traded to the LA Clippers. “I have had to take different steps,” Maxey stated during an interview with TNT before the Minnesota Timberwolves played the Phoenix Suns in Game 2 of their first-round series Tuesday night, when he was presented with the award. “In […]

Scottie Scheffler closes with 68, wins another Masters title

A victory at the 2024 Masters seemed inevitable for Scottie Scheffler. The Texan has been ranked No. 1 in the world for more than 80 weeks during his short career. He’d won eight times on the PGA Tour since February 2022, a stretch that saw him become the first golfer ever to collect the Players Championship in back-to-back years. Scheffler is regarded as perhaps golf’s best ball striker since Tiger Woods in his prime, and Scheffler’s magical hands around the greens also have drawn comparison to you-know-who. Until Sunday, Scheffler had only one major championship victory, the 2022 Masters, which might have been […]

Browns, Nick Chubb rework deal to keep RB in Cleveland

Nick Chubb’s uncertain future has prompted the Cleveland Browns to negotiate an adjusted contract with the star running back. Chubb and the Browns have agreed to a reworked deal to lower his base salary of $11.75 million with the chance to earn it back via incentives, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported on Thursday, per sources. Chubb suffered a significant knee injury in Week 2 of the 2023 season, ending his campaign immediately and throwing his NFL future into doubt. It wasn’t Chubb’s first encounter with a serious knee injury, but at 28 years old and with a relatively […]

Marlins RHP Eury Perez to have Tommy John surgery

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the 2024 season, the team revealed Thursday. The decision came after Perez visited Dr. Keith Meister for the second time in approximately two weeks. He will have the procedure on his right elbow on Monday. “I know Eury is really frustrated,” Marlins president of baseball operations Peter Bendix said. “He’s really disappointed, but he also understands that this is a minor setback in what’s going to be a really long career.” Perez initially was diagnosed with mild elbow inflammation, with surgery not being recommended at that point. He began playing catch […]

Phillies slugger Bryce Harper hits 3 homers for first hits of season

Bryce Harper’s first hit of the season was a big one. Same for his second. And his third. Harper homered in all three of his at-bats for Philadelphia during Tuesday night’s 9-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The two-time NL MVP went 0 for 11 while playing in three of the Phillies’ first four games. The 31-year-old Harper drove a 1-2 cut fastball from Graham Ashcraft deep to center in the first inning. The 420-foot solo shot had an exit velocity of 107.7 mph. He came up again in the fourth and hit another solo shot to right. The 367-foot homer on the […]

Spurs’ Devin Vassell, Jeremy Sochan to miss rest of season

The San Antonio Spurs will be without Devin Vassell and Jeremy Sochan for the rest of the season, the team revealed on Monday. Vassell, who missed the Spurs’ last game versus the Golden State Warriors, underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed a stress reaction to the third metatarsal head in his right foot. Sochan initially injured his left ankle versus the New York Knicks last Friday. The Spurs said after meeting with outside experts, they have determined that arthroscopic surgery is the best approach. Vassell averaged a career-high 19.5 points this season and played in 68 games, starting a career-best 62. He also averaged 4.1 assists and 3.8 […]

Danielle Collins wins first Miami Open as career nears end

Danielle Collins had the perfect send-off at her final Miami Open, defeating Elena Rybakina 7-5, 6-3 on Saturday to capture the title in her home state before an adoring crowd that included Andre Agassi and Martina Navratilova. The 30-year-old Collins announced at the Australian Open that this season would be her last because she’s suffering from endometriosis, an ailment that affects the uterus. On her fourth match point, Collins hit a backhand crosscourt winner, then bent over for 10 seconds without moving. “That game took a lot out of me and Elena was pushing me all around the court,” Collins said. “At the […]

Coco Gauff into 4th round in Miami, eyes first hometown title

Third-ranked Coco Gauff came from behind in the first set to defeat Oceane Dodin 6-4, 6-0 and advance to the fourth round of the Miami Open for the second time in her career. Gauff won 10 consecutive games after Dodin took a 4-2 lead in the opening set, thanks partly to nine double-faults by Dodin at critical moments. Gauff has just one loss in her past 23 matches in the United States. That defeat came versus Maria Sakkari at Indian Wells earlier this month. Gauff, who turned 20 on March 13, is the youngest American player to hold a top three seed at Miami. […]

Juan Francisco Estrada-Jesse Rodriguez close for June 29

Juan Francisco Estrada and Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez are concluding a June 29 fight in Glendale, Arizona, for Estrada’s WBC junior bantamweight title, sources told ESPN. Rodriguez, a unified champion at 112 pounds, is returning to 115 for a shot at the future Hall of Famer. Named ESPN’s No. 1 boxer under 25 years old in December, Rodriguez (19-0, 12 KOs) scored a career-best victory that month when he stopped Sunny Edwards in nine rounds to unify flyweight titles. “Bam” is on the cusp of pound-for-pound recognition, but he first must push past of the all-time greats in the lower weights in what shapes up as a […]
