Dodgers’ Tony Gonsolin placed on IL, season likely over

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin has been placed on the 15-day injured list, with manager Dave Roberts telling reporters it is unlikely that Gonsolin pitches again this season. Gonsolin allowed five home runs in Friday’s 11-3 loss to the Miami Marlins, snapping the Dodgers’ 11-game winning streak. He surrendered a career-worst 10 earned runs on eight hits in 3⅓ innings. He stated after the game he has been dealing with an elbow problem. “I can’t explain it right now,” Gonsolin said. “I don’t know what it is exactly, so I try not to.” Roberts stated Gonsolin had been pitching through an “arm issue” for at […]

Angels acquire OF Randal Grichuk, 1B C.J. Cron from Rockies

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. Cron, 33, has appeared in 56 matches with the Rockies this season, batting .260 with 11 home runs and 32 RBIs. He has spent time on the injured list this summer because of back spasms, returning to the lineup in late June. Cron hit 57 home runs and drove in 194 runs across 2021 and 2022, emerging as one of the Rockies best hitters. Grichuk, 31, has appeared in 64 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Frazier, Henderson power 8-run 7th, Orioles win 9-6, stop Yanks’ 5-game win streak

Adam Frazier hit a three-run homer and pinch-hitter Gunnar Henderson had a go-ahead, two-run double in an eight-run seventh inning that rallied the Baltimore Orioles over the Yankees 9-6 on Wednesday night, stopping New York’s season-high winning streak at five matches. Gleyber Torres homered twice and drove in three runs, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa tripled and homered as the Yankees built a 5-1 lead against Tyler Wells. New York’s bullpen entered with a major league-best 2.80 ERA, but Baltimore sent 12 batters to the plate in the seventh versus Cortes and the bullpen, the Orioles’ highest-scoring inning this season. Cortes had permitted only Ryan Mountcastle’s fourth-inning homer before walking Anthony Santander leading […]

Heat shake off Game 4 loss, citing season done ‘the hard way’

As Jimmy Butler walked to the podium following the Miami Heat’s 116-99 loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals Tuesday night, he was singing. It was Alicia Keys’ 2007 song “No One.” But the specific verse he closed with was, “Everything’s gonna be alright.” While Butler and the 8-seed Heat lamented that they couldn’t close out the Celtics and earn their second trip to the NBA Finals in four seasons, there remained an air of confidence within the group that it could go back to Boston for Thursday night’s Game 5 and find a way to win one more. “If anything, […]

Draymond Green gets 1-game ban; Sabonis questionable for Game 3

The NBA has suspended Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green for one game for stepping on the chest of the Sacramento Kings’ Domantas Sabonis, the league revealed Tuesday night. “The suspension was based in part on Green’s history of unsportsmanlike acts,” the NBA said in a statement. Green will serve his suspension Thursday when the Warriors host the Kings for Game 3 at Chase Center. Sacramento holds a 2-0 lead in the series. The incident between Green and Sabonis occurred with 7:03 left in the fourth quarter of the Kings’ 114-106 Game 2 win Monday. After Sabonis slipped and fell in the paint, he grabbed Green’s […]
