The Olympic roster for the U.S. men’s national soccer team has been set. Team USA announced the 18-person roster for the Paris Olympics in a TODAY exclusive July 8. The team, led by coach Marko Mitrović, includes defender Walker Zimmerman, who made the USMNT roster for the 2022 FIFA World Cup and played in all four matches, and midfielder Tanner Tessmann, who plays professionally for Venezia FC in Italy.

Here’s the 2024 Olympic roster for the US men’s national soccer team: EXCLUSIVE

The opening games for the 2024 Mens’ Olympic basketball tournament begin July 27, and of course, the heavy favorite is Team USA. Led by Olympic legends such as LeBron James, Kevin Durant and flanked by the games’ latest stars like Anthony Edwards and Bam Adebayo, the USA go into the Olympics looking to repeat as gold medal winners, but are looking for redemption after failing to medal in the FIBA World Cup. The old guard like James and Durant are coming in for one last ride after not playing in the Tokyo Olympics, but this is also the debut appearance for Stephen Curry and Joel Embiid. While the US is still believed to win the whole thing, the rest of the world is catching up, and Team USA needs a strong showing in Paris to solidify their place at the top of the basketball world.

The Nationals designated Senzel for assignment Saturday. The Nationals have decided to end the experiment with Senzel, and it looks like they will now turn third base over to Trey Lipscomb, who was recalled in a corresponding move. Senzel has struggled at the plate this season, and over his last 20 games with Washington he slashed just .147/.183/.206 with one home run, two RBI and a 22.5 percent strikeout rate across 68 at-bats. Should he clear waivers and opt for free agency, the 29-year-old should be able to latch on with a team looking for veteran infield depth.

Nick Lodolo (finger) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list later this week, and the Reds have elected to keep Carson Spiers as their No. 5 starter over Ashcraft.

Miller tossed a scoreless ninth inning with a strikeout to earn the save in Monday's 1-0 win over the Guardians. Miller got the call with no margin for error and he efficiently shut Cleveland down on 13 pitches to earn his first save of the season and just the second of his 12-year MLB career. The team showed a lot of faith in the veteran, who entered the contest with a 5.97 ERA, but he was much better last season with a 1.71 ERA for the Dodgers. If Miller can get anywhere close to that form down the stretch, he'll be a bullpen weapon for the Tigers and a potentially valuable fantasy asset if he sees more save opportunities.

The Astros optioned Contreras to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Contreras had cruised through 4.1 scoreless innings through his first four MLB appearances, but he'll now be sent back to Triple-A after allowing six earned runs in just 1.2 frames Friday. It's possible he returns to Houston if he gets back to putting up numbers similar to his 1.40 ERA in Triple-A, but for now the Astros will call up Kaleb Ort to replace Contreras in the bullpen.
