Utah State

Salt Lake City, UT

Hendricks recorded 20 points (9-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, a steal and a block across 29 minutes of Wednesday's 86-76 win over the Raptors in Summer League. Hendricks paced the Jazz in points and rebounds Wednesday, falling just one rebound shy of a double-double. The second-year forward had combined to score 11 points in his first two Summer League games in Las Vegas, so Wednesday's outburst was a much-needed bounce back game. Hendricks started in 23 of his 40 appearances as a rookie and is slated to open the season as Utah's starting power forward.

Kyrie Irving has undergone surgery to repair a broken left hand, the Dallas Mavericks announced on Tuesday.

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. -- I remember coming to this gym the past two years and realizing that this rumored-about kid from middle-of-nowhere Maine was not only the real deal on the court, but had the potential to become one of the cooler stories we've seen in basketball in the past 20 years.

Cooper Flagg might be great at Duke, but the best part for college hoops is A.J. Dybantsa could be even better

Memphis, TN

Pippen recorded 25 points (9-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine assists, four rebounds and a steal during Wednesday's 104-98 win over the Magic in Summer League. Pippen has turned some heads during his third Summer League stint and is certainly making a case to be the Grizzlies' backup point guard behind Ja Morant. Pippen and GG Jackson combined for 52 of Memphis' 104 points, while Pippen's nine assists led the team.

The Cubs optioned Palencia to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports. Palencia was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday for the second game of a doubleheader versus the Cardinals. However, the 24-year-old didn't make an appearance in his brief stint with the big club and will now head back to Triple-A.

Arizona State

Phoenix, AZ

The Diamondbacks have selected Cissell with the 132nd overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. Cissell is a 6-foot-2 switch-hitting prep shortstop, but he shows a much more comfortable swing from the left side at this stage of his development. He already exhibits solid bat speed and still has the ability to add more strength to his frame, offering hope that he could emerge as an above-average power hitter down the road. Cissell is committed to Missouri, but Arizona may look to lure him away by signing him to an above-slot deal.

The Chiefs placed Omenihu (knee) on the active/PUP list Wednesday. Omenihu is recovering from February knee surgery undergone to address a torn ACL. The rotational edge rusher suffered the injury during Kansas City's AFC Championship Game win over the Ravens, and the expectation is that he'll miss at least the early portion of the 2024 regular season.

In 1979, the Dallas Cowboys were given the title of "America's Team" by NFL Films. But if a few more things went their way in two Super Bowls against the Steelers, Dallas would have also earned the title of "Team of the Decade," a label that was instead given to Pittsburgh.

The Chicago Bears opened Tuesday with its top-two draft picks still unsigned. That is no longer the case, as quarterback Caleb Williams and wideout Rome Odunze put pen to paper on the day the Bears' rookies arrived for the start of training camp. Williams is signing a four-year, fully guaranteed contract worth $39 million that includes a $25.5 million signing bonus, according to ESPN.

Detroit, MI

The Tigers have selected Randall with the 85th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. A high school catcher, Randall converting to pitching at the University of Arizona before transferring to San Diego, where he emerged at the Friday night starter. The right-hander can pound the strike zone with a heavy sinker and above-average slider, and while his profile does suggest a future as a high-leverage reliever, Detroit will likely give him every chance to develop as a starter.

The Packers placed McGough on the active/PUP list Wednesday with an undisclosed injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. McGough can be activated at any time throughout training camp and the preseason, once healthy. The 28-year-old spent the entire 2023 season on Green Bay's practice squad as a quarterback, but head coach Matt LaFleur announced in May that McGough had made a position change to receiver. McGough has yet to take a regular-season snap in the NFL since entering the professional ranks in 2018.

Houston, TX

The Astros sent Caratini (hip) to their Florida Complex League affiliate on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment. Caratini has been shelved since late June with a left hip flexor strain but has been cleared for rehab games. The veteran catcher shouldn't need too many rehab at-bats before being activated, with a return early on in the second half likely.

Washington, DC

Cavalli (elbow), who came down with the flu June 24, has not pitched in a rehab game since June 21. There was a report from Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports on July 3 that Cavalli's rehab assignment had been shut down, but there has been no specific news about a setback for Cavalli. Still, that's an obvious fear, given how long it has been since the last update from the team. Since it has been almost four weeks since Cavalli last pitched, he will need to re-build back up whenever he is cleared to resume his rehab assignment, so a return to the big-league rotation doesn't seem imminent. He has a 2.16 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 13 strikeouts in 8.1 innings across three rehab appearances.
