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 […]

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. Looking for the best […]

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) […]

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 […]

Warriors president-general manager Bob Myers steps down

Golden State’s Bob Myers, a two-time executive of the year and architect of four NBA championships with the Warriors, is stepping down as the franchise’s president and general manager. “It’s just time,” Myers told ESPN. Myers, whose contract expires in late June, declined ownership offers on a new deal that would’ve paid him among the league’s top-earning executives, he stated. Myers described the decision-making process that led him to leave the franchise after 12 years as including several factors beyond money. Myers, 48, said he’s unsure of his future professional pathway, but should he someday decide to return to the […]

Back from non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, Hendriks pitches for White Sox

Chicago White Sox reliever Liam Hendriks permitted two runs on three hits and a walk to the Los Angeles Angels on Monday, his first outing since recovering from non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Hendriks, 34, got several standing ovations, both before he took the mound and when he entered the match in the top of the eighth inning. He pitched one inning. “It was definitely emotional,” Hendriks stated after the 6-4 loss. “It was humbling going out there and seeing the amount of people wearing my shirts, the amount of people having signs or flags or anything like that — the amount of people that were chanting when […]

Soler homers in 5th straight game, Marlins beat Angels 8-5 in 10 innings

Although the Miami Marlins survived Shohei Ohtani’s latest start and traded the lead with Los Angeles down the stretch, they were pretty much out of relief pitchers when they headed into the 10th inning. Thanks to two big hits and two bad defensive plays by the Angels, the Marlins had just enough pitching to keep up their recent road surge. Jorge Soler homered in his fifth successive game, and pinch-hitter Garrett Cooper had a tiebreaking double during the Marlins’ four-run 10th Saturday night in their 8-5 triumph over Ohtani and the Angels. Cooper hit a long fly to left-center off Jaime Barria (1-2), and Mickey Moniak couldn’t make the tough […]

Ohtani strikes out 9, Moniak delivers big hit as Angels defeat Twins 4-2

Anytime that Shohei Ohtani is on the mound, the Los Angeles Angels are confident they can come out with a victory. Ohtani struck out nine in six innings and Mickey Moniak delivered his second big hit of the series with a two-run double in the seventh as the Angels defeated the Minnesota Twins 4-2 on Sunday. Alex Kirilloff homered and Carlos Correa had an RBI double for the Twins, who dropped four of six on their Southern California road trip. Ohtani did not get a decision despite allowing only one run and two hits. It was the fourth time in 10 starts this season the two-way superstar has had nine or […]

Lakers outshined by Nuggets again in clutch, face 3-0 deficit

For the third time in as many games in the Western Conference finals, the outcome was up for grabs in the fourth quarter, and the Los Angeles Lakers couldn’t complete the task. Saturday’s 119-108 loss to the Denver Nuggets to fall behind 3-0 in the series might have contained different details than L.A.’s two defeats to start the series, but the general theme was the same: The West’s No. 1 seed did more when it mattered most. Now one loss away from their season being over, the Lakers, who started the season 2-10 and completely overhauled the roster just before the All-Star break, are […]

Nikola Jokic’s dominant triple-double leads Nuggets over Lakers

Nikola Jokic claimed he did not have a strategy in mind to combat Anthony Davis. But it did not take long in Tuesday night’s Game 1 for the Los Angeles Lakers to see Jokic’s blueprint. The Denver Nuggets’ superstar came out extremely aggressive, reintroducing himself to LeBron James and Davis on the Western Conference finals stage, but this time as a two-time MVP at the top of his game. Jokic compiled his third consecutive triple-double this postseason by the third quarter, and concluded with 34 points, 21 rebounds, 14 assists and two blocks to help the Nuggets take a 132-126 win at Ball Arena. “He makes it […]
