ESPN Proposes Major Indiana Fever Trade That Would Benefit Caitlin Clark

Indianapolis, IN

New York Post

Caitlin Clark will have home-city advantage if she makes the WNBA All-Star Game in 2025, with Indianapolis — where Clark’s Fever play their home games — set to host the league’s mid-season festivities, according to ESPN.

The city hasn’t hosted the All-Star Game before, but Gainbridge Fieldhouse was the site of the NBA All-Star Game in 2024.

Clark made the 2024 All-Star Game in Phoenix last month, and she helped Team WNBA topple Team USA — which went on to win an eighth consecutive gold medal at the Olympics — by collecting four points and 10 assists, with the latter total just...

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Nelson will be available out of the bullpen for Wednesday's game versus the Rockies, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports. Nelson will be ready in case starter Jordan Montgomery is unable to work deep into Wednesday's outing. If Nelson is not needed Wednesday, he will start Friday in Tampa Bay. If Nelson does in fact start Friday, it could be his last one for a while, as Lovullo says the club would then go back to a five-man rotation. Lovullo wouldn't commit to Nelson being the one to lose his rotation spot when that time arrives, but he looks to be the most likely candidate. Nelson holds a 2.90 ERA and 49:11 K:BB over 49.2 innings since the beginning of July, so he certainly doesn't deserve a demotion. However, he could be the team's starter most equipped to handle a shift to relief.

Blanco was removed from his start Wednesday against the Rays after getting hit in the left index finger by a comebacker, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports. Blanco reported soreness in his finger after getting hit in his left (non-throwing) hand by a 106-mph line drive off the bat of Brandon Lowe, prompting his removal after six shutout innings. Initial X-rays came back negative after the game, however, so it appears the 30-year-old righty managed to escape without suffering a significant injury. He's lined up to start against Boston on Tuesday, though the Astros will likely keep an eye on his finger up until then.

After he played little Opie Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show (CBS, 1960-1968) and before he portrayed Richie Cunningham on Happy Days(ABC, 1973-1984), he played Bob Smith on The Smith Family (ABC, 1971-1972). Today, he's award-winning director Ron Howard, which is how he was billed as first an actor on Happy Days. However, on both the Griffith and Smith shows he was known as Ronny Howard.

The WNBA has seen a dramatic rise in popularity, largely attributed to superstar rookies Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. However, neither Clark’s Indiana Fever nor Reese’s Chicago Sky are the league’s most valuable team. That title belongs to the Dallas Wings, despite their struggles on the court this season.

The Rays promoted Curet from High-A Bowling Green to Double-A Montgomery on Wednesday. The 21-year-old righty earned the bump up to Double-A after turning in a 3.28 ERA and 122:49 K:BB across 93.1 innings at Bowling Green. Curet already possesses a spot on the Rays' 40-man roster, though he probably won't be a realistic option for the Tampa Bay rotation until the second half of the 2025 season.
