Brooks Lee needed to see just one pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning, a four-seam fastball that Lee bunted up the first-base line to score Byron Buxton from third and earn Minnesota a victory over Tampa Bay in Minneapolis.
The walk-off squeeze bunt capped a comeback for the Twins, who trailed 5-1 before plating four runs in the sixth inning.

Already leading by three in the fifth, the Mets built upon it after Francisco Lindor drew a walk and set the stage for Alonso’s 19th home run of the season to go ahead 7-2. Starter Frankie Montas (1-1) allowed four runs on five hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Allen worked six innings, giving up one run on two hits in losing his third straight start. The Guardians dropped their ninth in a row, matching their longest losing streak since 2021. Cleveland has been outscored 41-13 during the skid, being shut out five times.
White Sox 10, Rockies 3
Lenyn Sosa homered, finished a triple shy of the cycle and drove in four runs and Michael A. Taylor also went deep and doubled as Chicago beat host Colorado.

Brenton Doyle homered, Tyler Freeman had three hits to extend his on-base streak to 20 games and Yanquiel Fernandez had two hits for the Rockies. German Marquez allowed six runs on 11 hits in six innings.
Mariners 1, Pirates 0
Luis Castillo pitched seven scoreless innings and struck out a season-high eight as Seattle defeated visiting Pittsburgh.
Castillo (5-5) allowed just two hits — both to leadoff hitter Spencer Horwitz — and didn’t walk a batter. Of his 99 pitches, 67 were strikes. Ben Williamson drove in the game’s only run with an RBI double in the sixth. It was the second consecutive shutout for the Mariners, who improved to 4-2 on their seven-game homestand.
Pittsburgh starter Mike Burrows stranded seven runners over five scoreless innings. The right-hander allowed three hits, walked four and fanned six. The Pirates have lost two straight after a six-game winning streak.
Giants 7, Athletics 2
Willy Adames drove in four runs and Logan Webb pitched 6 2/3 solid innings to help San Francisco register a victory over the Athletics in West Sacramento, Calif.

WHITE SOX ICON BOBBY JENKS PASSES AWAY AT AGE 44
Bobby Jenks, a member of the 2005 Chicago White Sox World Series championship team, died after a battle with Stage 4 adenocarcinoma, a form of stomach cancer, on Friday, July 4 in Sintra, Portugal.
Jenks, a flame-throwing reliever who appeared in the 2006 and 2007 All-Star Games, was 44 years old.
“We have lost an iconic member of the White Sox family today,” said White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf. “None of us will ever forget that ninth inning of Game 4 in Houston, all that Bobby did for the 2005 World Series champions and for the entire Sox organization during his time in Chicago. He and his family knew cancer would be his toughest battle, and he will be missed as a husband, father, friend and teammate. He will forever hold a special place in all our hearts.”
In just six seasons (2005-2010) with Chicago, Jenks posted 173 saves and 334 strikeouts in 341 2/3 innings pitched. He stands second in team history in saves, behind only Bobby Thigpen’s 201.
Jenks is also sixth in appearances (329) and seventh in strikeouts for White Sox relief pitchers.
Jenks was originally drafted by the Angels in 2000, but was a December 2004 waiver claim by Chicago. He was called up mid-season in 2005 and made his Major League debut on July 6. Jenks took over the closer’s role and earned six saves during the regular season, then appeared in six playoff games. He recorded saves in the series-clinching win over Boston in the ALDS and closed the door on Houston in the final game (Game 4) of the 2005 World Series.
Jenks recorded 41 saves in 2006 and 40 more in 2007, earning All-Star nods in both seasons. He tied a major league record in 2007, retiring 41 consecutive hitters. At 26 years old, he was the second-youngest reliever to record back-to-back 40-save seasons.
He left Chicago after a 27-save season in 2010 and completed his career in Boston the following year. He appeared in 19 games with the Red Sox, but did not add to his saves total.
For his career, Jenks posted a record of 16-20 with a 3.53 ERA and ranks 75th on the MLB all-time saves list.
After a long absence from professional baseball, the Mission Hills, Calif., native was hired as a pitching coach for the Grand Junction Rockies, an MLB Partner League club. He was promoted to manager in 2022 and earned the league’s Manager of the Year award as the Rockies (now Jackalopes) won the league title.
Jenks and his wife, Eleni Tzitzivacos, moved to Portugal in October 2024. Not long after they relocated, he was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right calf and later dealt with multiple blood clots in his lungs. Early in 2025, he noticed that his energy level was decreasing, and after testing at a local hospital, it was discovered that a tumor had formed in his chest.
Jenks is survived by his wife, their two children, and four children from a previous marriage.

TIGERS ALL-STAR 2B GLEYBER TORRES (NECK) EXITS VS. GUARDIANS
Detroit Tigers All-Star second baseman Gleyber Torres left Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Guardians in the first inning due to a neck contusion.
Torres was injured on a force play at second base to end the inning off a grounder hit by teammate Riley Greene. Cleveland shortstop Brayan Rocchio had to lunge to grab a flip from second baseman Johnathan Rodriguez and Rocchio’s elbow connected with the sliding Torres.
Torres stopped on the ground before the bag and was attended to for a few minutes before exiting the field.
Javier Baez moved from shortstop to second base in the bottom of the first and Mark Sweeney entered to play shortstop.
Torres, 28, walked in the first inning to extend his on-base streak to 18 games. The All-Star starter is batting .279 with nine homers and 44 RBIs in 77 games.
YANKEES’ SCHMIDT EXPECTED TO REQUIRE TOMMY JOHN SURGERY
New York Yankees right-hander Clarke Schmidt will likely require season-ending Tommy John surgery, manager Aaron Boone said Saturday.
“He’s kind of getting second opinions now but not great news on that front,” Boone told the media after he was asked bout Schmidt’s imaging results. “We will see what goes on here in the next couple of days.”
Schmidt departed Thursday’s start with tightness in his right forearm. He was subsequently placed on the injured list Friday.
The 29-year-old could also potentially miss the entire 2026 campaign following the procedure. The typical recovery time is 12-to-18 months but may vary if he gets an internal brace in his elbow.
Schmidt authored a 3.32 ERA with 1.09 WHIP and 73 strikeouts over 78 2/3 innings (14 starts) in 2025.
DIAMONDBACKS REINSTATE OF CORBIN CARROLL FROM IL
The Arizona Diamondbacks reinstated right fielder Corbin Carroll from the 10-day injured list on Saturday.
Carroll, 24, had been sidelined with a chip fracture in his left wrist after being hit by a pitch on June 18 at Toronto.
Carroll leads the majors with nine triples and is batting .255 with 20 homers and 44 RBIs in 72 games.
Named an All-Star and the National League Rookie of the Year in 2023, Carroll has a .257 batting average with 71 home runs, 35 triples, 208 RBIs and 101 stolen bases in 417 games. He led the NL in triples in each of the previous two seasons.
The Diamondbacks optioned infielder Tim Tawa to Triple-A Reno following Friday night’s 9-3 home loss against the Kansas City Royals.
Tawa, 26, made his major league debut on April 5 and is batting .200 with six homers, 14 RBIs and 47 strikeouts in 59 games this season.
BLUE JAYS PLACE RHP YIMI GARCIA (ANKLE) IN 15-DAY IL
The Toronto Blue Jays placed right-hander Yimi Garcia on the 15-day injured list with a sprained left ankle and recalled right-hander Robinson Pina from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.
Garcia, 34, is 1-2 with a 3.86 ERA in 22 relief appearances for the Blue Jays. In 11 seasons with five different clubs, including his first five with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Garcia is 23-31 with a 3.61 ERA in 436 appearances (one start).
Pina, 26, made his major league debut June 20 as a member of the Miami Marlins and went one inning in his only outing, giving up a home run to the Atlanta Braves’ Austin Riley. Pina was traded to the Blue Jays on June 24.
REPORT: ASTROS SIGN RHP HECTOR NERIS
The Houston Astros signed right-hander Hector Neris, according to multiple reports.
Neris is a familiar name for the Astros, as he pitched three seasons in H-Town from 2022 to 2024. In 157 games with the franchise, he posted a 2.90 ERA and 174 strikeouts.
The 36-year-old veteran began the 2025 season with the Atlanta Braves. In two appearances, he allowed five runs in one combined inning and was designated for assignment in March.
Then, Neris signed a contract with the Los Angeles Angels in April. The veteran appeared in 21 games, recording a 5.14 ERA and 19 strikeouts across 14 innings. He was released on July 3rd.
REPORT: OF ALEX VERDUGO CLEARS WAIVERS, RELEASED BY BRAVES
Former Atlanta Braves outfielder Alex Verdugo cleared waivers Saturday and was officially released by the club, The Athletic reported, three days after he was designated for assignment.
Verdugo was removed from the active roster to open a spot for the return of outfielder Jurickson Profar, who came back Wednesday from an 80-day suspension when he tested positive for performance-enhancing substances.
Verdugo batted .239 with no home runs and 12 RBIs in 56 games in his first season with the Braves. He signed a one-year deal for $1.5 million in March.
METS SIGNING ITALIAN TEENAGER IN FRANCHISE FIRST
The New York Mets are signing Italian pitcher Matteo Marelli, the first European amateur signing in team history.
The 19-year-old right-hander was scheduled to have a signing ceremony on Saturday in Rovigo, Italy.
“What I’m most proud about is the Mets are expanding their global footprint,” Mets scout Rosario Chiovaro said, per the team’s website. “I want the Mets to be a global brand.”
Chiovaro began scouting Marelli two years ago in Major League Baseball’s European Development Tournament in London. When he saw Marelli again three months ago in the same tournament in Barcelona, his fastball had risen from the mid-80s to the mid-90s.
The fastball is one of five distinct pitches in Marelli’s arsenal, including a “kick change” he perfected by studying clips on social media.
“It’s easy to see when somebody’s different from other people, from other players,” said Francisco Cervelli, a longtime big-league catcher and current head coach of Italy’s national teams, including Marelli’s U-23 squad. “You see a future. It’s a very interesting player. And the arm … (Once he starts) training every day, you’re going to see results very quickly.”
GUARDIANS ACTIVATE RELIEVER PAUL SEWALD FROM IL
The Cleveland Guardians activated Paul Sewald from the injured list and the veteran appeared in relief in Saturday’s game vs. the Detroit Tigers, pitching a perfect eighth inning with one strikeout.
In a corresponding move, the Guardians optioned lefty Doug Nikhazy to Triple-A Columbus.
Sewald pitched in 14 games for his new club before landing on the IL with a right shoulder strain on April 29. He had struggled, allowing eight earned runs in 11 2/3 innings of work (6.17 ERA). On a positive note, the right-hander had walked just two hitters while fanning 15.
Sewald saved 82 games from 2021-24 for the Seattle Mariners and Arizona Diamondbacks. He recorded six saves in 10 appearances for the Diamondbacks in their 2023 run to the World Series.
Sewald was expected to fill a setup role in Cleveland in front of All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase.

REPORT: GRIZZLIES TRADE C JAY HUFF TO PACERS
The Memphis Grizzlies are trading center Jay Huff to the Indiana Pacers for one second-round pick and one second-round swap, according to ESPN.
Huff has spent time with the Los Angeles Lakers, Washington Wizards, Denver Nuggets, and Grizzlies in his four-year NBA career. Last season, he established himself as a solid stretch five in Memphis, shooting an impressive 40.5 percent from deep.
The 7’1″ big man averaged 6.9 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks in 11.7 minutes per game.
The Pacers gain a needed reinforcement in the frontcourt after they lost center Myles Turner to the Milwaukee Bucks in free agency. Huff adds depth behind current center options Isaiah Jackson and Tony Bradley.
Huff, a member of the University of Virginia’s 2018 national championship squad, has three years worth approximately $8 million left on his current deal; the final year is a club option.
REPORT: ROCKETS TRADE F CAM WHITMORE TO WIZARDS
The Houston Rockets are trading forward Cam Whitmore to the Washington Wizards for two second-round picks, per ESPN.
The 20-year-old was selected by the Rockets with the 20th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. As a rookie, he flashed promise, averaging 12.3 points and 3.8 rebounds in only 18.7 minutes per game. In addition, he shot 35.9 percent from three-point range.
In his second season, Whitmore saw a slight minute reduction due to Houston’s crowded depth chart; he averaged 9.4 points and 3.0 rebounds in 16.2 minutes per game.
Whitmore was already behind Jabari Smith Jr. and Tari Eason in the rotation, but this offseason, the Rockets crowded the depth chart even more by adding superstar Kevin Durant and forward Dorian Finney-Smith.
In Washington, Whitmore has a clearer path to playing time, as he should become a key piece for the rebuilding squad. He will join their young core of Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, and AJ Johnson.

LATE BUCKET, DEFENSIVE STOP HELP SPARKS PUT AWAY FEVER
Azura Stevens and Kelsey Plum anchored the Los Angeles Sparks to a narrow 89-87 victory over the Indiana Fever on Saturday night in Indianapolis.
Stevens made a key free throw with 3.1 seconds to put the visitors ahead by two, finishing with a double-double of 21 points and 12 rebounds. Plum added 20 points, hitting four 3-pointers for the Sparks (6-13).
Aliyah Boston (23 points, 12 rebounds) notched her ninth double-double of the season but missed a potential game-tying jumper from the top of the key at the buzzer for the Fever (9-9).
Natasha Howard had 21 points and nine rebounds in the loss.
Indiana’s Aari McDonald stole the ball off an errant pass from Julie Allemand with 30.1 seconds remaining and the Fever trailing 88-87. On the next possession, however, Lexie Hull rebounded an off-the-mark 3-pointer by McDonald but missed a jumper with 4.2 seconds to go that would have given the Fever the lead.
Rickea Jackson capped off a 9-3 run with a pair of aggressive layups and a free throw to give the Sparks the lead for good, 88-87, with 58 seconds left.
The Fever went ahead 60-52 after an midrange jumper by Howard a little more than midway through the third quarter. However, the Sparks rallied to take a one-point lead into the final period thanks to an 18-7 spurt that was capped with a layup and a 3-pointer by Plum.
The largest advantage before halftime was a 32-26 lead for the Fever after a pair of free throws by Howard with 6:25 left in the second quarter.
Plum, though, brought Los Angeles back by draining a stepback 3-pointer to give the Sparks a 36-34 lead. While she landed awkwardly on the shot, Plum was able to remain in the game.
After the Sparks knotted things up 40-40 with 1:45 left in the first half, Boston flashed her handles with a downhill, off-hand layup that put the Fever up by two. The Fever led 45-42 at the end of a back-and-forth first half that featured a combined nine ties and lead changes.
Fever guard Caitlin Clark (left groin strain) sat out her fifth consecutive game.
The Sparks are 2-6 in their last eight games, with both victories coming against the Fever, who saw a three-game winning streak come to a close.
NAPHEESA COLLIER (22 POINTS), LYNX HANDLE VALKYRIES
Napheesa Collier scored 22 points on 8-for-11 shooting from the field, and the Minnesota Lynx held on for an 82-71 win over the Golden State Valkyries on Saturday night in Minneapolis.
Courtney Williams added 15 points for Minnesota (16-2), which has won back-to-back games since losing the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup title game against the Indiana Fever on Tuesday. Kayla McBride contributed 12 points, and Jessica Shepard had eight points to go along with a team-high 10 rebounds off the bench.
Tiffany Hayes scored 23 points on 8-for-11 shooting to lead Golden State (9-8). Kayla Thornton notched a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Stephanie Talbot scored 10.
Minnesota edged Golden State in part because of its assist-to-turnover ratio. The Lynx finished with 25 assists and nine turnovers, while the Valkyries had 19 assists and 10 turnovers.
A pesky defense helped the Lynx prevent the Valkyries from mounting a fourth-quarter comeback. Minnesota held Golden State scoreless for the first 4:33 of the final quarter until Hayes finally made a 3-pointer to trim the deficit to 75-63.
McBride responded with a 3-pointer on the other end of the court to boost the Lynx’s lead back to 15 points with 4:16 remaining.
The Lynx led 69-60 at the end of the third quarter.
Natisha Hiedeman and Diamond Miller combined for back-to-back baskets for the Lynx in the final minute of the third quarter. Hiedeman made a jump shot to put Minnesota on top by six points, and Miller drained a 3-pointer to boost the advantage to nine.
Minnesota led 41-36 at the half.
Collier made a 3-pointer to give the Lynx a 41-31 lead with 2:48 to go in the first half.
Monique Billings responded with five straight points to cut Golden State’s deficit to five. Billings knocked down a 3-pointer off an assist from Hayes with 2:18 remaining, and Billings followed up with a layup off a feed from Thornton with 1:45 to play.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEWS
AFTER SEC VISITS, 4-STAR WR XAVIER MCDONALD PICKS SACRAMENTO STATE
Sacramento State head coach Brennan Marion reached into Southeastern Conference territory and plucked a surprise commitment from four-star wide receiver Xavier McDonald.
McDonald, from Morton, Miss., is the highest commit in the history of the Hornets program. He committed to the school on Friday.
McDonald had offers from numerous Power Four conference schools, and on June 27, he released the list of his final four: Sacramento State, North Carolina, LSU and Ole Miss. He took official visits to three of them, substituting a visit to Mississippi State for a North Carolina visit.
The 247Sports composite ranks him as the No. 16 wide receiver in the country.
The offensive-minded Marion was named head coach of the Hornets last December after two seasons as offensive coordinator at UNLV.
Sacramento State is in the midst of an upgrade to its athletic program. It is building a multipurpose stadium and has secured more than $35 million in NIL funding. The Hornets have added former Sacramento Kings player Mike Bibby as their basketball coach and Basketball Hall of Fame member Shaquille O’Neal as the general manager.
Sacramento State football is an FCS-level program that plays in the Big Sky Conference. During the 2026-27 academic season, all teams except football will move to the Big West Conference.
Per the 247Sports composite, Sacramento State has the No. 56 recruiting class of 2026, sandwiched between South Carolina of the SEC and Wake Forest of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
WR KAYDON FINLEY SHUNS DAD’S ALMA MATER, PICKS NOTRE DAME
Four-star wide receiver Kaydon Finley has committed to Notre Dame’s 2026 recruiting class.
He is the son of former NFL tight end Jermichael Finley, who played his college ball at Texas before being selected by the Green Bay Packers in the third round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He spent all six of his NFL seasons with Green Bay, winning a Super Bowl.
Kaydon Finley is ranked by the 247Sports composite as the No. 14 wide receiver in the 2026 class and the No. 15 player in prospect-rich Texas.
He plays at Aledo High School and tallied 81 receptions for 1,432 yards and 21 touchdowns in 2024. He had nine 100-yard games.
Finley took an official visit to his father’s alma mater two weeks ago. He also made official trips to Texas A&M, Louisville and Arizona State, as well as Notre Dame.
Notre Dame’s 2026 schedule shows the first possible game Finley could play with the Irish would be Sept. 6 against Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, home of the Packers.
247Sports projects that the Irish will land the commitment of another NFL legacy this weekend — Devin Fitzgerald, the son of former Arizona Cardinals great Larry Fitzgerald.
The younger Fitzgerald is a three-star receiver from Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix. His father played at Pitt.
Notre Dame’s 2026 class currently is ranked No. 3 by the 247Sports composite, trailing Southern California and Georgia. It is anchored by a pair of five-star prospects — edge Rodney Dunham of Charlotte, N.C., and safety Joey O’Brien of Pennsylvania.
ALABAMA LANDS 5-STAR SAFETY JIREH EDWARDS
Jireh Edwards, a five-star safety in the Class of 2026, committed to Alabama on Saturday.
247Sports Composite ranks Edwards as the 23rd overall recruit and second-best safety in the 2026 class. He attends St. Frances Academy in Upper Marlboro, Md.
Edwards received 37 offers and took visits to Auburn and Georgia before ultimately landing with the Crimson Tide. He also visited Maryland, Texas A&M and Oregon.
“The culture really stood out for me,” Edwards said via Rivals. “Them producing the guys they produced already and seeing them do so well in the league.”
The MaxPreps All-American is listed at 6-2, 210 pounds. He ran an unofficial 4.40-second 40-yard dash at St Frances’ pro day.
AILING DEION SANDERS EXPECTED TO RETURN TO WORK SOON
Colorado coach Deion Sanders, who has been suffering from an undisclosed medical condition, is expected to be back on the job soon.
That’s according to former NFL cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones, who recently went fishing with Sanders at his Texas estate. Jones posted a video of his comments, made in a BetOnline interview, to his Instagram account.
“Deion’s doing good,” Jones said. “I think he got another week at home before they get started. He’ll be there. He’ll be ready to go.”
“Thanks to everybody that has been praying and sending good thoughts and prayers his way,” Jones added.
Sanders, 57, posted a video to his Instagram account two days ago following a visit to his estate by Lil Wayne. Sanders is seen walking, a bit gingerly, with the rapper.
Neither Sanders nor Colorado officials have given specifics about the nature of the health issue the coach is facing. He has been away from Boulder, missing annual youth camps he normally would have attended. He is scheduled to attend a Big 12 preseason media event on Wednesday in Frisco, Texas.
Sanders addressed his health in a social media post on June 11.
“I can assure you all that everything is OK and will continue to be so,” he posted to X. “… I’m excited to get back to Colorado to be at home with my staff, team & all associated to our program. When we arrive back to Boulder you will be updated on everything.”
A member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Sanders required multiple surgeries for persistent blood clots in recent years. He had two toes amputated in 2021 to address clotting issues, but it is unclear whether that is related to his current health status.
The Buffaloes open the season at home on Aug. 29 against Georgia Tech.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL’S TOP TEAMS FOR 2025
1 TEXAS
Steve Sarkisian has transformed Texas into a consistent contender for the national title. After suffering back-to-back losses in a College Football Playoff semifinal, the Longhorns are set to make a significant breakthrough in 2025. Rising star quarterback Arch Manning, who has been waiting behind Quinn Ewers, is finally taking control of Sarkisian’s high-powered offense this season. The Longhorns need to replace standout defensive back Jahdae Barron and strengthen their interior line. Despite these challenges, their defense has the potential to be the best in college football, especially with defensive end Colin Simmons and linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. returning to lead the team.
2 PENN STATE
Penn State won the offseason by hiring defensive coordinator Jim Knowles away from Ohio State and retaining offensive standouts in quarterback Drew Allar and running backs Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton from the NFL Draft. After falling just short of an appearance in the national championship last season, the Nittany Lions are loaded for a run at No. 1. Another offseason for Allar to develop under coordinator Andy Kotelnicki should pay dividends, especially with an improved receiving corps from the portal. Replacing standout end Abdul Carter won’t be easy, but Dani Dennis-Sutton is Penn State’s next star player off the edge.
3 OHIO STATE
Only two teams – Alabama and Georgia – managed to go back-to-back as a national champion since the start of the BCS era in 1998. Even though history is against Ohio State, and the depth chart was hit hard by departures, coach Ryan Day’s team won’t fall far from the top spot. Receiver Jeremiah Smith and safety Caleb Downs are two of the nation’s top players, and new quarterback Julian Sayin was a five-star prospect in the ‘24 signing class. The biggest source of intrigue for this team is how both sides of the ball adapt to new coordinators with Brian Hartline taking over for Day and former NFL assistant Matt Patricia handling the defensive duties.
4 GEORGIA
The Bulldogs return only seven starters, but Coach Kirby Smart has a new wave of talent ready to reload and contend for a national championship. The development of quarterback Gunner Stockton and the integration of four new starters along the offensive line are crucial for Georgia’s pursuit of another title. As always, the Bulldogs will be strong on defense.
5 CLEMSON
The Tigers returned to the top of the ACC last season and are poised for another run at the national title in 2025. Quarterback Cade Klubnik and one of the nation’s top receiving corps are back, while the defense is bolstered under new coordinator Tom Allen.
6 NOTRE DAME
The Fighting Irish are set for another chance at the national title in 2025. Redshirt freshman quarterback CJ Carr is a rising star, with running back Jeremiyah Love backed by one of the nation’s best offensive lines. Transition is underway on defense as Chris Ash takes over for Al Golden as the play-caller. However, the foundation remains solid, especially with cornerback Leonard Moore and linebacker Drayk Bowen returning in 2025.
7 LSU
Coach Brian Kelly is optimistic that the return of quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, a deep receiving corps, and significant portal additions on both sides of the ball will lift the Tigers back to the playoffs. There is also hope for improved performance from the defense in coordinator Blake Baker’s second season.
8 ALABAMA
After winning nine games in Coach Kalen DeBoer’s first year, expectations are heightened for 2025 with an experienced roster returning to Tuscaloosa. Receiver Ryan Williams comes back after a standout freshman campaign, while Ty Simpson holds a slight edge over Keelon Russell and Austin Mack in the competition to replace Jalen Milroe at quarterback. The defense remains one of the best in college football.
9 OREGON
The Ducks lost several key players from last year’s team that won the Big Ten and secured the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff. Despite significant turnover in Eugene, Coach Dan Lanning’s efforts on the recruiting trail will keep Oregon competitive in the Big Ten. Former UCLA quarterback Dante Moore steps into the starting role after serving behind Dillon Gabriel last season, and Tulane transfer Makhi Hughes will help fill the void at running back. Lanning’s major concerns involve a rebuilt offensive line and defense, with only four returning starters.
10 MIAMI FL
Miami Transfer quarterback Carson Beck (from Georgia) is recovering from an elbow injury suffered at the end of the 2024 season, which is critical for Miami’s hopes of contending for the ACC title. A new coordinator, Corey Hetherman, and multiple portal additions at every level should enhance a defense that struggled last season.
11 FLORIDA
Florida ended the 2024 season on a 4-game winning streak. The biggest question heading into fall camp will be the health of QB DJ Langway. The rising star was limited in spring practice because of a shoulder injury. They do have one of the top offensive lines in the SEC. The defense was strong down the stretch and they will have to be with a very tough schedule ahead.
12 SOUTH CAROLINA
The Gamecocks were on the verge of a College Football Playoff behind QB LaNorris Sellers. If they are to make another run at the playoffs Sellers will need to take it up another level since RB Rocket Sanders and three offensive linemen departed. The defense is in a rebuilding stage. Road SEC games at LSU, Ole Miss and Texas A&M will speak volumes.
13 KANSAS STATE
The Wildcats have all the pieces to have the best team in the Big 12 since the 2022 season. Kansas State knows how to win with three straight seasons of at least nine victories. Having QB Avery Johnson and RB Dylan Edwards will be the keys on offense. The only weakness on defense is the secondary.
14 ARIZONA STATE
Nobody expected the Sun Devils to do what they did in 2024. They surprised the experts with a Big 12 title and a near upset of Texas in the Peach Bowl. Repeating won’t be easy, but they do return 16 starters. QB Sam Leavitt and WR Jordyn Tyson are back. The defense allowed only 22.6ppg and could be better in 2025.
15 MICHIGAN
The Wolverines are hoping to build momentum off wins against Ohio State and Alabama to finish the 2024 campaign. Signing 5-star QB Bryce Underwood will give Michigan a true QB. Michigan also returns six starters from an outstanding defense.
16 INDIANA
Can the Hoosiers surprise the college football world again with another trip to the college football playoffs? It won’t be easy with a tougher Big 10 schedule. IU picked up QB Fernando Mendoza from California. Indiana will have a solid defense led by DL Makail Kamara.
17 ILLINOIS
Illinois fans should be optimistic after winning 10 games in 2024 and returning 16 starters. The defensive line and receiving corps will need some work, but they have a excellent QB returning in Luke Altmyer and a strong offensive line.
18 OLE MISS
The Rebels return only four starters, but QB Austin Simmons is an up and coming star. Lane Kiffin got plenty of help in the transfer portal.
19 TEXAS A&M
The season didn’t end the way the Aggies had hoped. They lost four of their final five games. Coach Mike Elko added talent to help QB Marcel Reed.
20 OKLAHOMA
Injuries tool its toll on the Sooners offense in 2024. Two new signal callers (Ben Arbuckle and John Mateer) will be a spark in 2025. The defense returns six starters.

FORMER STEELERS WR CHASE CLAYPOOL PLANS NFL COMEBACK
Veteran wide receiver Chase Claypool, who hasn’t played in the NFL since 2023, is confident he will be able resume his career after recovering from a toe injury.
Claypool, 26, signed with the Buffalo Bills last offseason but missed the 2024 campaign due to the injury he suffered last August. He was released by the Bills with an injury settlement.
The four-year pro, who was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round of the 2020 draft, wrote on social media on Friday that he is “the strongest and fastest I’ve ever been” following a full offseason of recovery and rehab.
“I tore a ligament and a tendon in my second toe and have been rehabbing, working out, and recovering every day for the past year,” Claypool posted on Instagram. “I am back to being the strongest and fastest I’ve ever been and couldn’t be more excited to step back out on the field and let my actions speak for themselves.
“I deeply and truly believe that the pieces will align, and I will work my way into the position to show off what’s been suppressed these last two years.”
In four seasons with the Steelers (2020-22), Chicago Bears (2022-23) and Miami Dolphins (2023), Claypool recorded 175 catches for 2,261 yards and 13 touchdowns in 58 games (32 starts).

DAVIS THOMPSON EMERGES AS LEADER AT JOHN DEERE CLASSIC
Davis Thompson shot a birdie putt from 10 1/2 feet on the final hole to shoot 4-under-par 67 and emerge as the leader among numerous third-round contenders in the John Deere Classic on Saturday in Silvis, Ill.
Thompson withstood windy conditions at TPC Deere Run to move to 15-under 198.
He’s up one shot on David Lipsky, Max Homa, Brian Campbell and Argentina’s Emiliano Grillo after they all posted 68s.
Thompson, playing in the final group, overcame a pair of bogeys on the front side, playing the last nine holes in 4 under. Campbell, also in that group, had a birdie on No. 18 as well.
Lipsky birdied both back-side par-5s. Homa had birdies on three of the final seven holes. Grillo closed with birdies on two of the last three holes.
More than halfway through the round, there were 10 golfers tied for the lead at 12 under. The afternoon involved a revolving door with golfers rising to the top of the leaderboard.
Going to Sunday’s final round, there are 14 golfers within four strokes of the lead.
The day began with 12 golfers within two shots of the lead. Doug Ghim, who led after the first and second rounds, slipped to a tie for 21st place by shooting 74. He was a 36-hole leader for the first time on tour.
The group at 12 under includes Kurt Kitayama (66), Austin Eckroat (67), Ireland’s Seamus Power (68) and Colombia’s Camilo Villegas (69). Eckroat logged a bogey-free round, including 3 under through eight holes.
Because of concerns about stormy weather later in the day, tee times were moved up, golfers were grouped in threesomes and the first and 10th tees were used as starting points.

ALEX PALOU GARNERS SIXTH WIN OF SEASON AT ROAD AMERICA
Alex Palou returned to the familiar setting of the winner’s circle Sunday, taking the XPEL Grand Prix at Road America by 2.175 seconds for his sixth win in nine races this season Sunday in Elkhart, Wis.
The Spaniard notched his first victory since the Indianapolis 500 and extended his dominant lead in the championship standings to 93 points over Kyle Kirkwood.
Sweden’s Felix Rosenqvist took second, and Santino Ferrucci continued a hot stretch of his own by placing third. Kirkwood and New Zealand’s Marcus Armstrong rounded out the top five.
Palou led for only six of the race’s 55 laps but squeezed out the win on low fuel. He drafted behind fellow Chip Ganassi driver Scott Dixon of New Zealand to save fuel at one point.
Some cars that finished after Palou were running on empty and stalled before completing the cooldown lap.
“It was a crazy race. I had moments I thought we were losing a ton (more) position than we were making,” Palou said. “It was a tough race for everybody, but kudos to the team for the amazing strategy, and Honda, man. HRC being able to give us the fuel mileage we needed at the end to make it.”
Dixon led a race-high 27 laps but was forced to pit with two to go. He slipped to ninth place.
Ferrucci, a Connecticut native, was in a celebratory mood after his fourth straight top-five finish, which included fifth place at the Indianapolis 500 and second at the Detroit Grand Prix.
His car also had a special livery honoring Marlyne Sexton, a longtime team sponsor of A.J. Foyt Enterprises who died June 11 at 86 years old.
“This one goes to Marlyne,” Ferrucci said. “She was riding with us today, I’m very proud and, yeah, this one tastes a little bit sweeter.”

FAITH KIPYEGON, BEATRICE CHEBET SET WORLD RECORDS AT PREFONTAINE CLASSIC
Less than two weeks after falling short of becoming the first woman to record a sub-four-minute mile, Kenyan Faith Kepyegon broke her own world record in the women’s 1,500-meter run on Saturday with a time of 3:48.68 at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Ore.
That time was 0.36 seconds better than her previous record-setting mark of 3:49.04 recorded in July 2024.
What’s more, Kepyegon was not the lone Kenyan to set a world record on Saturday.
Earlier in the day, Beatrice Chebet won the 5,000 ahead of former record-holder Gudaf Tsegay of Ethiopia, clocking in with a time of 13:58.06 to become the first woman to finish the distance in less than 14 minutes. Tsegay finished third, behind Chebet and Kenya’s Agnes Jebet Ngetich.
Tsegay set the previous best time of 14:00.21 in September 2023, also at Hayward Field in Eugene. With her Saturday finish, Chebet now owns five of the 10 best times ever recorded in the women’s 5,000.

STEVENS LEADS SPARKS TO 2ND WIN IN INDIANA IN 9 DAYS
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Azura Stevens scored 21 points and added 12 rebounds, Kelsey Plum added 20 points and the Los Angeles Sparks won at Indianapolis for the second time in nine days, defeating the Fever, minus Caitlin Clark, 89-87 on Saturday night.
Since dominating the fourth quarter en route to an 85-75 win, the Sparks had lost two straight. The Fever had won three, including the Commissioner’s Cup, without Clark. She missed her fifth consecutive game with a groin injury.
This game was close throughout. The Sparks’ biggest lead was three points in the first quarter, and the Fever went up by eight midway through the third.
Dearica Hamby scored 18 points for the Sparks (6-13) and Rickea Jackson added 15, including the go-ahead basket that made it 88-87 with 57.4 seconds left.
Indiana missed its last five shots, four in the final minute. Stevens rebounded a miss and was fouled, making a free throw with 3.3 seconds to go. The Fever used their reset timeout but Aliyah Boston missed a shot from the top of the key.
Boston led Indiana (9-9) with 23 points and 12 rebounds, and Natasha Howard had 21 points and nine rebounds. Kelsey Mitchell added 19 points. Howard surpassed 2,000 career rebounds and Mitchell, who reached 600 3-pointers with three, broke a tie with Fever assistant coach Briann January with her 251st game for the Fever, second behind Tamika Catchings.
Mitchell had 13 points and Plum 11 in an evenly played first half that featured nine ties and nine lead changes before Indiana went on top 45-42. Plum scored the last seven LA points of the third quarter for a 70-69 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
Up next
Indiana is home against Golden State on Wednesday and the Sparks face Minnesota at home on Thursday.

INDIANS FALL TO BATS’ NINTH-INNING COMEBACK
INDIANAPOLIS – The Louisville Bats broke up a shutout bid with three runs in the top of the ninth inning to defeat the Indianapolis Indians on Saturday night at Victory Field, 3-1.
With the Indians (7-4, 49-36) leading 1-0 in the top of the ninth, a leadoff single by Levi Jordan and three consecutive walks issued by Kyle Nicolas (L, 2-1) knotted the game at 1-1. A sacrifice fly by Francisco Urbaez plated the game-winning run for Louisville (5-6, 37-49), while two more walks in the frame brought around an insurance run.
The Indians were held to one run on six hits, with Luis Mey (W, 2-3) stifling the offense with just one hit allowed in the final two frames.
Hunter Barco got the start for Indy and fanned seven over 6.0 one-run, shutout frames. He has now allowed just six hits with 20 strikeouts over 18.0 one-run innings since June 24 vs. Omaha. Entering tonight’s contest, he led all International League qualifiers since June 24 with a 0.58 WHIP and ranked fourth in ERA (0.75) and batting average against (.146).
The Indians and Bats close out their six-game home-and-home series tomorrow afternoon at 1:35 PM ET. RHP Drake Fellows (5-2, 5.29) will take the mound for Indy in his second start of the week against RHP Chase Petty (2-4, 2.93).

RECAP-IND 3:0 MB
Indianapolis — In a commanding performance at home, Indy Eleven powered past Monterey Bay FC with a 3-0 victory, backed by a strong attacking display and a clean sheet from goalkeeper Hunter Sulte. Goals from Aodhan Quinn, Jack Blake, and Romario Williams sealed the win, as the Boys in Blue continue their climb up the USL Championship Eastern Conference standings.
The win lifts Indy Eleven to seventh in the East with 17 points through 14 matches.
The Boys in Blue wasted no time asserting themselves in the match. In the eighth minute, captain Aodhan Quinn struck first with a composed finish after receiving a well-placed pass from Jack Blake. The goal was Quinn’s third of the campaign and his 57th in USL Championship play, moving him into a tie for 21st on the league’s all-time scoring list. Blake’s assist marked the 25th of his USLC career. Indy Eleven is third in the USL Championship in goals scored in the opening 15 minutes.
Just before halftime, Blake added a goal of his own, converting a penalty kick in first-half stoppage time to make it 2-0. It marked Indy’s 14th first-half goal of the season, good for second in the league. Blake is now tied for the team lead with four goals in 2025, increasing his career USLC total to 36 goals.
Indy’s back line held firm throughout the night. Elvis Amoh and Cam Lindley continued to snuff out early Monterey Bay attacks in the opening minutes, while James Murphy contributed with steady defensive coverage and effective ball movement through the midfield.
Goalkeeper Hunter Sulte recorded several key saves, earning his third clean sheet of the year and 12th with the club over the last two seasons. The performance marks another strong showing from an Indy defense that continues to gain consistency at home.
In the 83rd minute, Romario Williams sealed the match with a well-placed strike following a perfectly centered pass from Oliver Brynéus. The goal was Williams’ third of the campaign and his 63rd in USL Championship play, tying him for 15th on the USLC all-time list.

1964 — The NL beat the AL 7-4 in the All-Star game on Johnny Callison’s two-out, three-run homer off Dick Radatz in the bottom of the ninth inning at New York’s Shea Stadium. The win pulled the NL even with its rivals (17-17-1) for the first time since the series began.
1998 — Coors Field lived up to its billing as a hitter’s haven as the American League beat the Nationals 13-8 at Coors Field in the highest-scoring All-Star game in major league history. The 21 runs broke the record set in the AL’s 11-9 win in 1954.

2011 — The Los Angeles Dodgers got their first hit with two outs in the ninth inning and still beat the San Diego Padres 1-0 when Dioner Navarro singled in Juan Uribe for the unlikely victory.

2014 — Derek Jeter, playing his final regular-season game in Cleveland, went 2 for 4 in the 1,000th multi-hit game of his career. Cleveland scored nine runs in its last two innings at bat to rally past New York with a 9-3 win.

Worse, the error proves costly as Robert later comes around to score the winning run in a 4 – 2 ChiSox win.
