He wound up having arthroscopic surgery in June in Barcelona. Nadal stated Monday in a video on social media that he hopes to again “feel those nerves, that illusion, those fears, those doubts” on the court. Looking for the best online betting site and […]

Hornets’ Miles Bridges ‘anxious’ for return after 583 days

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges is “anxious” to make his return to NBA action, saying it feels “like the first day of school.” Bridges is set to return to the court Friday night for the first time in 583 days versus the Milwaukee Bucks for an NBA in-season tournament game after sitting out all of last season and completing a 10-game suspension this year for his role in a domestic violence case in 2022.

Majors record makes Novak Djokovic best in history, Nadal says

Rafael Nadal’s most recent Grand Slam victory came at the French Open in 2022, and with Novak Djokovic having overtaken his mark for most major titles in men’s tennis, the Spanish player conceded that his rival is the best player in history. Djokovic’s recent victory at the US Open, his third Grand Slam title this year, took his tally to 24 majors, two ahead of Nadal’s total. “I believe that numbers are numbers and statistics are statistics. In that sense, I think he [Djokovic] has better numbers than mine and that is indisputable,” Nadal said in an interview with AS published Wednesday. […]

Clayton Kershaw sharp in return, gets no-decision as Dodgers rally

Max Muncy drew a bases-loaded, two-out walk to force in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, Clayton Kershaw returned from the injured list and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to defeat the Colorado Rockies 2-1 on Thursday night.

Pinch-hitter Jason Heyward grounded into a fielder’s choice to second, erasing Peralta. Mookie Betts singled before Bard came in and walked Freddie Freeman to load the bases. Rockies […]

Astros’ Jose Altuve resumes baseball activities, return not set

Jose Altuve restarted some baseball activities this week, but there still isn’t a timetable for when Houston’s star second baseman will return to the team. Altuve fractured his right thumb in the World Baseball Classic and had surgery to repair the injury March 22. After his surgery, Astros general manager Dana Brown stated he would be out at least eight weeks. It has been six weeks so far, and while Altuve was cleared to return to baseball activities this week — including throwing, running and fielding — he hasn’t been cleared to swing. “I think right now it’s hard to tell,” […]

But as right now, that’s the date we kind of solidified. We’re not going to rush. We’re going to be smart about it.” Dressed in red Phillies shorts with pinstripes and a white workout shirt, Harper sat on top of a picnic table outside the clubhouse. “Just excited to be back out here, some sunshine and some […]

Philadelphia Phillies slugger Bryce Harper says he will report to spring training Wednesday as he continues recovering from elbow surgery and then determine when he can return full time. The two-time National League MVP was injured in April and last played right field April 16 in Miami.
