Opposing teams intentionally walking New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has been a hot topic as of late, and for much of the season, Giancarlo Stanton has taken advantage of the runners on base ahead of him while he was healthy. Stanton spoke about teams walking Judge and the responsibility he has hitting behind him after the Yankees' 8-7 win over the Texas Rangers on Sunday.

The Houston Astros have released right-handed reliever Dylan Coleman after designating him for assignment last week. Coleman was acquired from the Kansas City Royals in December and pitched one scoreless inning for the Astros on April 3. He has spent the majority of the season with Triple-A Sugar Land yielding a 6.50 ERA over 36 frames. Coleman has struggled over his past 5 2/3 innings, allowing 12 runs (11 earned) on eight hits and walking nine. His recent slide ultimately led to him being designated for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot for Zach Dezenzo.

Every year at the NBA draft, some players end up being steals, and some come short of expectations. The 2023 NBA draft featured Victor Wembanyama, one of the most hyped prospects of all time. However, like any draft, the 2023 draft will feature players who fall short of expectations. Throughout the league’s history, there have always been draft busts, but who are the biggest busts of the last ten NBA drafts? This list is from 2013-2023, as it is too early to tell who will be a bust in this year’s draft.

LeBron James just won his first Olympics MVP award. In fact, he won the third award ever given. How could that be when the first was given in 2004? That winner, of course, was Argentina’s Manu Ginobili. He dazzled the world with his performance in Athens and shocked the basketball world in particular when he deconstructed the seemingly indestructible Team USA. Clearly, Ginobili deserved some form of special recognition. But one could be inclined to wonder: Is that really what the Olympics are supposed to be about?

With fall camp well underway in Columbia, Shane Beamer’s squad is beginning to take shape. The fourth-year head coach is looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2023 campaign which saw the Gamecocks finish with a 5-7 record. The departure of Spencer Rattler is not likely to make this already daunting task any easier, however, as replacing your starting quarterback of two years doesn’t normally lead to improved win totals. That being said, the Gamecocks believe they have a redshirt freshman who just might buck this trend. They also have an SEC veteran ready to step up should he falter. In this South Carolina Gamecocks position preview, we’re diving into the quarterback room to see who the next big star on campus could be, and who will be waiting to take his job should he fall short of the lofty expectations set for him.

Coming into the games, the U.S. basketball teams were expected to dominate. Despite the men’s and women’s teams winning gold medals, both looked shaky, needing heroic efforts to propel them.

Precious Achiuwa is somewhat of an undersized center. With Isaiah Hartenstein signing with the Oklahoma City Thunder, the New York Knicks had a clear need for center depth. That is especially more true because starting center Mitchell Robinson has a lengthy history of missing action due to injury. Jericho Sims is also on the team, but he hasn’t shown enough to be more than an end-of-the-bench player.

The Wolverines will see quite a bit of defensive backfield attrition in 2025. Makari Paige, Quinten Johnson, Aamir Hall, and Wesley Walker will be out of eligibility. Will Johnson seems ticketed for the first round of the NFL Draft. Rod Moore and Jaden Mangham will have draft decisions to make.
