The LA Angels are looking ahead to 2025 and beyond as they plan to stick with the front office that has overseen some turmoil the last few years. As early as this past offseason, Angels fans yearned for the club to sign the Japanese superstar to a long-term deal last offseason, hoping to save the franchise, and maybe even contend for a division title. That obviously did not happen, as Ohtani signed with the Angels' crosstown rival to a mega deal. The pain ensued.

The Giants placed Cajuste (leg) on the reserve/injured list Monday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. Cajuste was injured late in the fourth quarter of Saturday's preseason game against Houston. The leg injury is severe enough for him to be placed on IR, and he will be forced to miss the entire 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Giants. Cajuste spent most of 2023 on the Giants' practice squad and he was competing for a depth spot on the offensive line for the upcoming season.

Johnson (ribs) practiced Wednesday, Kenny Morales of WFLA News reports. Johnson's return is a boost for the rookie who is trying to make the Buccaneers' 53-man roster as an undrafted free agent out of Barton College. Naturally considered a longshot to make it early on, Greg Auman of Fox Sports believes the 22-year-old will make the team as the No. 5 wide receiver, partially because of his ability to also be used as a return man on special teams.

Toronto Blue Jays Third Baseman Ernie Clement completed a mind-boggling act in last night's 5-3 victory against the Los Angeles Angels. In the bottom of the second inning, Clement hit a two-run home run that was a whopping 4.60 feet off the ground. That is the highest pitch hit for a home run during the 2024 MLB season. It was the second-highest pitch hit for a home run in the pitch-tracking era (since 2008). Only a home run from Kyle Higashioka in 2022 (4.61 feet off the ground) topped the feat yesterday from Clement.
