The severity of Grayson Rodriguez’s lat/teres situation that knocked him out from starting on Tuesday is still unclear. What is clear is it’s bad enough that he’s been placed on the injured list the next day, so it’s enough of a long-term absence that the Orioles can and will replace him on the roster. Rodriguez was placed on the 15-day IL on Wednesday afternoon, with the team recalling lefty reliever Keegan Akin in his place. Along with Rodriguez, the Orioles also placed Heston Kjerstad back on the injured list due to continuing impact from his concussion. Kjerstad was originally placed…
The outcome of the investigation into the behaviour of Alvaro Morata and Rodri after the European Championship final has now been announced, and both will serve a ban. Morata captained Spain to a Euro 2024 triumph in Germany and after beating England in the final he and Rodri decided to chant the controversial line ‘Gibraltar is Spanish’, which they have now been punished for as Calcio e Finanza report. UEFA have decided on the punishment for the duo, stating: “Following the opening of disciplinary proceedings against Rodrigo Hernández Cascante and Álvaro Morata for their conduct during the public presentation of the 2024…
For the first six seasons of his NFL career, Saquon Barkley only knew Lincoln Financial Field, and the Eagles fans that fill it, from the visitor locker room. After signing with the Eagles this offseason, Barkley had his first taste of his new home at last week’s open practice, and he was blown away. Speaking to reporters after Monday’s training camp practice, the running back lauded the environment and expressed his appreciation to the fans. Barkley said he was shown a lot of love as he exited the home team tunnel for his very first time, and noted that he…
Mercedes F1 chief Andrew Shovlin doesn’t believe Lewis Hamilton’s decision to leave the team for Ferrari was solely down to car performance. Hamilton shocked the sporting world in February when his move to Ferrari was announced. The seven-time world champion’s decision to leave the team was a surprise given his contract with Mercedes didn’t run out until the end of 2025. Additionally, Hamilton has remained part of the Mercedes family since the start of his F1 career with McLaren. While Mercedes started this year on the back foot, heading into the Dutch Grand Prix later this month, they’ve won three of the last…
Alabama was very selective in its transfer portal usage under Coach Nick Saban. Saban already had rosters loaded with talent and never needed to bring in an influx of transfers, instead opting to strategically shore up weaknesses across the lineup. In the long term, I expect Coach Kalen DeBoer to deploy a similar strategy. In his first offseason with the program, however, DeBoer had to take on more transfers than normal to account for the roster turnover that occurred due to the Alabama coaching change. Under Saban, impact transfers like Jameson Williams (2021) and Jahmyr Gibbs (2022) were so successful that they only…
Zabien Brown isn’t missing practice, but he’s also not 100%. The freshman cornerback has a cast that looks like a club of sorts on his left hand/wrist. Alabama football defensive coordinator Kane Wommack provided an injury update on Tuesday. “He’s limited,” Wommack said. “He’s on a bit of a pitch count and stuff right now. We expect him to be fully back and going in the next couple of days here.” Brown is one of several corners competing for playing time with the top three corners from a season ago, Terrion Arnold, Kool-Aid McKinstry and Trey Amos, all gone. Brown started the A-Day game…
After missing the United States men’s basketball team’s 104-83 victory vs. Puerto Rico, a win where Jayson Tatum registered the first double-double of his Olympic career, producing ten points and as many rebounds, Jrue Holiday returned from an ankle injury and rejoined the starting lineup against Brazil on Tuesday. The two-time All-Star ignited Team USA’s bench when he threw down a transition dunk early in the matchup. He followed that up by stonewalling a Marcelinho Huertas drive and then swatting his shot. Holiday finished with nine points, three assists, and two blocks in Tuesday’s 122-87 victory in Paris. Backcourt mate Derrick White…
AC Milan’s transfer plans look set to change once again as a new goalkeeper might not arrive this summer, according to a report. In the three friendlies played in America against Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona, it was Lorenzo Torriani who was between the goalposts for Milan and he did very well, something that might just have convinced the management. The 19-year-old only got as many minutes as he did because Mike Maignan was on vacation and then returned to Milanello while Marco Sportiello – who is the usual deputy to the Frenchman – suffered an accident in the…
CM: Milan send clear response to Roma over Okafor amid exchange deal rumoursIt is alleged that Noah Okafor has been informed by AC Milan that he will not be involved in any talks with Roma regarding Tammy Abraham, and that the club has no plans to sell him. In his preseason debut, Okafor looked quite active coming off the bench in last night’s friendly against Barcelona, but there remained uncertainty about his future and a possible trade with Roma. According to a number of reports, including Corriere dello Sport, the Giallorossi are considering a possibly advantageous deal with Milan that…
Tottenham, AC Milan set for final round of talks for Emerson Royal Emerson Royal needs to leave Tottenham The Brazilian cannot afford to sit on the bench at the North London club at this stage of his career. Emerson could be a useful acquisition for the Italian club, and he is versatile enough to operate as a full-back on both flanks. Meanwhile, Tottenham will look to cash in on him and use the proceeds from his departure to improve their squad. Spurs will look to push for trophies this season, and they have secured Europa League qualification as well. They…
