Phillies Outfielder Returns to Injured List

Former Texas Rangers shortstop and two-time All-Star Elvis Andrus has announced that he plans to retire this Friday. The 36-year-old started his MLB career in 2009, debuting with Texas. He was an All-Star in 2010 and 2012. In 2017, he also received the Rangers Player of the Year Award. Now that he’s announced his retirement, he can make a strong case for his induction into the Rangers Hall of Fame.

Both Michigan and Texas notched Week One wins against Mountain West teams last week. The nature of those victories was decidedly…different. The Wolverines played a tight game against Fresno State before putting things away in the fourth quarter. The Longhorns ground Colorado State into a fine paste. One team made enough mistakes to cast doubt on their top-10 ranking. The other team was playing (and scoring with) their backups by the third quarter.

The hate for Rudy Gobert doesn’t stop. It seems like every time a current or former NBA player gets a microphone put in front of them, they speak badly about the Frenchman. In an interview with Complex, Shaquille O’Neal said Gobert was the worst NBA player of all time. The Big Diesel also called Ben Simmons a “bum,” complaining about the money he has made on contracts while barely playing.

Over the last year-plus, the Cincinnati Bengals have been in some heavy discussions with stars for extensions. Last year, as the season kicked off, the team signed Joe Burrow to a massive well-deserved extension. When the pen eventually hits paper, Ja’Marr Chase‘s likely record-breaking contract will be well-earned. One star who hasn’t received a long-term extension to this point is Tee Higgins.

It has been less than four years since the Los Angeles Lakers won their then-record-tying 17th NBA title in franchise history. While their star duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis still remains, everybody else on that championship team is gone. This includes notable role players like Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Alex Caruso, who have continued to excel after their Lakers run. Additionally, the team also made other moves that were questionable even at the time. Perhaps most notable is their decision to trade forward Kyle Kuzma.

Caitlin Clark has impressed so much that she is now being seen as a potential MVP this season.

The Orlando Magic have signed Mac McClung to a partially guaranteed contract, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania. A two-time Slam Dunk Contest winner, McClung went undrafted in 2021 after playing three seasons for Georgetown and Texas Tech. Since then, the Gate City native has put forth a mighty effort to break into the NBA. He’s signed training camp contracts, two-way contracts, and 10-day contracts, but he’s yet to stick on a roster.

H2H: 1-1 Emma Navarro has won five straight matches. She is the biggest American hope right now. Emma won her first two matches here in New York convincingly 6-1. In the first round of the tournament, Emma dominated Blinkova in straight sets, spending less than an hour on the court. After that, in the second round, Emma defeated Rus in straight sets as well. She had a great serving performance, saving all four breakpoints. In the third round, Navarro worked hard against Kostyuk, winning in three tight sets. This was the first match where she faced a top-20 player. Navarro stayed calm under pressure, and won the most important points of the deciding set.Emma upset Coco Gauff in the 1/8-Finals of the tournament. She was an underdog, but kept fighting throughout the whole match, and eventually won in three tight sets once again. Navarro won against Coco just two months ago at Wimbledon as well. With those two wins against Gauff, Navarro showed us that she is ready for the biggest stage. Yesterday in the quarterfinals, Emma defeated Badosa in straight sets as we predicted. Navarro was all over the court, and even came back in the second set, after she was 1-5 down. This will be her first Grand Slam semifinal appearance.

Week 1 of the NFL season is finally here and the Miami Dolphins kick things off against their in-state rival and fellow AFC competitor, Jacksonville Jaguars. Every game is crucial in the NFL, but getting early victories against conference competitors is crucial for potential tie-breakers down the road. The Jaguars finished the 2023 season at 9-8, but like Miami, were bitten by the injury bug down the stretch. They present a number of challenges that the Dolphins must contend with and that brings an increased focus on a few players that need big games for Miami to come out victorious.
