Welp. Pulled this one out again, and given Sale's injury history, a season of anguish is probably more likely than a repeat of 2024. Unfortunate. We'll say accurateish here. Sale did suffer an injury that kept him to 125 innings and 20/21 starts, but those were very high-quality innings. He was still worth about 3.5 wins, and he had an FIP under 3.00.
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- LeBron James was sidelined to open training camp Tuesday with what Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick called "a little bit of nerve irritation in the glute." James, who turns 41 in December, will become the first player in league history to have played 23 seasons when the Lakers host the Golden State Warriors on opening night next month. Redick said "the goal" is for James to be recovered in time for the Warriors game, but the coach did not rule out James participating in at least one of the Lakers' six preseason games.
Livramento was forced off in the 77th minute against Arsenal in a game that saw Newcastle lose 2-1 as the Gunners produced a stirring fightback with late goals from Mikel Merino and Gabriel, the latter netting the winner in the sixth minute of added time. The cruel reality for Newcastle was that there likely would not have been eight minutes of stoppage time had Livramento avoided an apparent knee injury.
The Los Angeles Dodgers didn't officially reveal Blake Snell to be their Game 1 starter for the National League Wild Card Series until he walked into the interview room before Monday's workout at Dodger Stadium. Though, it was strongly implied by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts at the conclusion of the regular season, and the assignment was one Snell had long been aware of. "I found out a while ago," he said. "I'm excited. There's no better feeling than being in Game 1, starting it off. And the goal is to get us off to a good start, a win and go from there."
Jovic, 22, averaged 10.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game last year, shooting 45.6 percent from the floor, 37.1 percent from 3-point range and 82.8 percent from the free-throw line. He was playing the best basketball of his career before suffering a hand fracture, sidelining him until the postseason. The 6-foot-10 wing had a very productive summer overseas with Serbia in EuroBasket. He averaged 12.8 points on 60.0/52.4/92.3 shooting splits in six games alongside three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic,

Overall, six players scored 30 PPR points, including Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua and Las Vegas Raiders rookie RB Ashton Jeanty. Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes turned back time to throw four TD passes.
The neck injury that kept Viktor Hovland out of the fourballs yesterday afternoon hasn't cleared up. The Norwegian can't play today either, so the Envelope Rule comes into effect. Yesterday, when Keegan Bradley and Luke Donald lodged their selections for the Singles, they also had to provide a sealed envelope containing the name of a player who would have to withdraw if a player from the other side is ruled out through illness, injury or other emergency reason.
Aston Villa's poor start to the season took another blow as it took Fulham just three minutes to take the lead in their Premier League game at Villa Park. Villa, who are still searching for their first win of the Premier League season, kicked off looking to build on a 1-0 victory over Bologna in the Europa League on Thursday but their task was made harder almost immediately.
The veteran right-handed reliever was coming off a brilliant season with the Texas Rangers in which he sported a microscopic 1.17 ERA. The multi-time All-Star has a wealth of experience closing and in high-leverage spots. When the Dodgers inked him to a one-year deal worth $13 million, it was viewed as a move to further strengthen what was considered to be a very good bullpen.
Xavier Edwards drove in the winning run with an 11th-inning sacrifice fly, Heriberto Hernández and Griffin Conine homered during a late rally and the Miami Marlins kept their playoff hopes alive with a 6-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night. Hernández, who had three hits, homered with one out in the ninth inning off Philadelphia closer Jhoan Duran to force extras. Conine homered in the eighth inning off David Robertson to start the comeback.
The Falcons' kicking rollercoaster took another turn in Week 3 with John Parker Romo missing both of his attempts in Sunday's loss to the Panthers. Granted, those kicks came from 49 and 55 yards, so Atlanta may have some patience after signing Romo to a two-year contract last week. The Falcons still brought in some potential competition in Sauls, an undrafted rookie who spent training camp with the Steelers and made five of his six field goals in the preseason.
Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland will participate in limited basketball activities during training camp, and is still expected to miss at least the first month of the regular season. Garland had surgery on his injured big toe that hampered him during the playoffs in early June. Cleveland had the best record in the Eastern Conference last season but was eliminated by the Indiana Pacers in five games in the conference semifinals.
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. is expected to be sidelined two to four weeks with a dislocated shoulder suffered early in the team's latest loss Sunday, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Tracy, a second-year back, went down in pain when he was sandwiched by a pair of Kansas City Chiefs defenders on the second play of the second quarter. With Tracy out, the 0-3 Giants are expected to lean on rookie Cam Skattebo and veteran Devin Singletary to run the ball.
"First and foremost," O'Connell said, "he's got to get healthy. And then I don't think it's one of those things where it's, hey, he's healthy the night before a game, we're going to throw him out there and say, 'Hey, go figure it out' type of thing."
LANDOVER, Md. -- Washington Commanders coach Dan Quinn wiped blood from his face as he walked to the locker room at halftime Sunday after getting knocked down on the sideline in a collision with quarterback Marcus Mariota. At the end of a 4-yard run in the final seconds of the second quarter of Washington's game against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders, Mariota was shoved out of bounds. He knocked into Quinn, who fell backward and slammed his head on the ground.
One day after a breakout performance at the plate for Nacho, he'll take a sit due to a minor cut on his hand, as Vidal Brujan takes his place at third base. Drake Baldwin gets the start at catcher after getting a day at DH on Saturday, which also brings Marcell Ozuna back into the lineup at DH. Meanwhile the Tigers go for a fairly different lineup than yesterday, going from facing a lefty in Joey Wentz, to facing a righty in Spencer Strider today.
The arrest came nearly a month after Jackson, 25, was caught on video assaulting pro wrestler Stuart Smith (aka Syko Stu) at the KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy in Los Angeles. Jackson entered the ring, slammed Smith and punched him until he was unconscious. Jackson was eventually pulled off Smith by several other wrestlers and fled the academy, which is located in the Sun Valley neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen has agreed a new contract until 2030. There is also an option of an extra year in the deal, which comes just three months after the Norway international joined permanently. Wolves rejected bids of 50m and 55m from Newcastle in the summer after he scored 14 goals on loan from Celta Vigo last season. The 25-year-old signed for 23m after his successful loan spell, helping Wolves finish 16th in the Premier League.
