Yankees' Amed Rosario lands on IL, expects to miss the minimum 10 days

The Yankees have lost another of their trade deadline acquisitions.

Amed Rosario has been placed on the 10-day IL with a left SC joint sprain.

Rosario collided with the left field wall on Friday, and it appears he'll have to miss some time. 

The speedster did tell reporters that he expects to be able to return after the minimum 10 days, though, which is certainly encouraging news. 

Rosario has appeared in just four games since being acquired from the Washington Nationals, going 3-for-7 at the plate with a double and an RBI over that span.

Outfielder Austin Slater is also currently sidelined with an injury and reliever Jake Bird is down in Triple-A after struggling mightily in his first few outings, leaving New York without three of their new pickups. 

In a corresponding roster move, catcher J.C. Escarra has been recalled from Triple-A. 

Escarra has served as New York's No.2 backstop this season, but he was sent down to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last week to make room for Slater.

Canadiens Defenseman Is Interesting Breakout Candidate

Earlier this off-season, the Montreal Canadiens re-signed defenseman Jayden Struble to a two-year contract with an average annual value (AAV) of $1.4125 million. Getting this deal done with Struble was important for the Canadiens, as he is among their most promising young defensemen.

Struble is coming off a solid season with the Canadiens, as he scored two goals and set new career highs with 11 assists, 13 points, and 124 hits in 56 games. This was after the 6-foot defenseman recorded three goals and 10 points in 56 games with the Canadiens during his rookie season in 2023-24. 

Overall, Struble has had a solid start to his NHL career and is cementing himself as a nice part of the Canadiens' blueline because of it. Yet, when noting that he is still only 23 years old and has just 112 career NHL games on his resume, he undoubtedly still has the potential to hit a new level. With this, he is a clear breakout candidate on the Canadiens to watch during the 2025-26 season. 

Struble has certainly shown promise early on in his career, and he should only improve as he continues to gain more experience. If he can get his offense up a bit more and continue to be reliable defensively, it would be massive for a Canadiens team on the rise. It will be intriguing to see if he can put together a breakout year for the Habs from here.

Former Canadiens Defender Still A Free AgentFormer Canadiens Defender Still A Free AgentSince we are in August, the majority of this year's top unrestricted free agents (UFAs) have signed their new contracts. While this is the case, there are still some interesting veteran players looking for their new homes. One of them is former Montreal Canadiens defenseman Jon Merrill.

Individual brilliance gets Bulldogs over line on a typical Beveridge-era day of AFL footy | Jonathan Horn

Sunday’s crackerjack contest at the MCG against the equally superb Demons was a most welcome heartstopper after weeks of blowouts

With 10 minutes to go until the opening bounce of the Bulldogs’ game against Melbourne, Luke Beveridge stalked the MCG boundary line, a man careful not to slip on a banana peel. He was more clenched and coiled than usual. He looked like he’d spent the last six months deadlifting trucks and moving magnets. He knew better than anyone how dangerous this game was. He’d seen Brisbane slip up the previous day. He’d seen Fremantle nearly throw away their season. He knew his own team’s history of self-sabotaging in games like this.

When Aaron Naughton kicked his fourth goal and his second in as many minutes in the third term, his coach was entitled to loosen up a little. The first half had been a dozy affair, with both sides just trundling along. But now Naughton was marking everything, Bailey Dale and Marcus Bontempelli had about a thousand touches between them and the Dogs had their foot on the throat.

Tim David and Josh Hazlewood shine as Australia sink South Africa in first T20

Australia have dominated South Africa’s largely unknown batting lineup to secure an unlikely victory in the first match of a three-game Twenty20 series in Darwin.

South Africa lost by 17 runs in at Marrara Oval on Sunday, bowled out for 161 after Australia were dismissed for a disappointing 178 from the final ball of an innings rescued by Tim David’s 83.

‘We've added some real quality' — Robertson joins Phillies' beefed-up bullpen

‘We've added some real quality' — Robertson joins Phillies' beefed-up bullpen originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

ARLINGTON, Texas — As expected, the Phillies recalled veteran right-hander David Robertson from Lehigh Valley and optioned pitcher Alan Rangel to Lehigh Valley.

Robertson hasn’t pitched yet this year in the big leagues as he was contemplating retirement after pitching for the Texas Rangers last season, when he appeared in 68 games that constituted 72 innings and a 3.00 ERA.

“I’m very excited to be back. This is the only life I’ve ever known for the past 20 years,” the 40-year-old Robertson said Sunday. “Ready to step back between the lines and see if I can help this team out. I feel ready to go. Everything that I’ve thrown is back to where it should be. Now I’ve just got to step up here and do it in between the lines at this level.

“It took a couple games, I knew I would need three or four outings, it ended up being five and had back-to-back outings before I come in here, so that was good so I can be prepared to throw back-to-back days up here.”

Robertson adds another arm to the ever-changing bullpen that has seen the arrival of Jhoan Duran at the trade deadline and will be getting back Jose Alvarado, probably next week.

“It’s really changed over a short period of time. We’ve added some real quality and there’s a lot of options out there to go to,” manager Rob Thomson said. “To start out with, I’d like to ease [Robertson] in a little bit, a little lower leverage, but we may be forced to run him out there in high leverage, who knows.

“He’s a calming influence, he’s been through it before, World Series, playoff runs. I think he’s a good guy for the younger guys to kind of lean on and learn from.”

Stott starts against a lefty

Bryson Stott got the start Sunday against Rangers left-hander Patrick Corbin.

It’s rare that Stott gets the start against a lefty, but there were numbers behind the manager’s decision. Stott is 5 for 13 in his career against Corbin with a double, triple and five RBI. He has also been swinging well of late as he gone 5 for 9 with a pair of runs scored in his last three games.

“I think the change in his mechanics,” Thomson said of Stott’s better hitting of late. “Quieting his hands and hands up as he’s going into his load is helping a lot. He knows where the barrel is at now. He’s using the field and now he’s getting the ball up in the air to the pull side, which is good.”

Over his past 14 games, Stott is 13 for 39 (.333 average) with nine RBI, eight runs scored and five doubles.

Defense working

The Phillies have been playing really well in the field as of late, with strong play in all areas. It’s something that has been coming, according to Thomson.

“I think over the past couple of years it’s gotten better and better and better,” he said. “It’s due to a lot of work by the players but also by (infield coach) Bobby Dickerson and Paco (Figueroa) and the catching coaches. I think they’ve done a great job, cleaning up some physical stuff. I think we’ve played really well of late. I think we’ve gotten better over the last couple years.”

In Saturday’s 3-2 win over the Rangers, J.T. Realmuto threw out two would-be base stealers, while Edmundo Sosa saved a run with a terrific play at third and Stott ended any rally thoughts by Texas in the ninth when he came up with a slow grounder and threw to get the first out of the ninth.

Pete Alonso hits 252nd home run to match Darryl Strawberry for Mets record

MILWAUKEE — Pete Alonso hit his 252nd career home run Saturday night, tying the New York Mets record held by Darryl Strawberry for 37 years.

Alonso connected against Milwaukee Brewers starter Tobias Myers leading off the second inning for his 26th homer this season, giving the Mets a 1-0 lead. The 413-foot shot to left-center came on a 1-2 fastball at the top of the strike zone.

It was Alonso’s fourth homer in eight games, since he went deep Aug. 1 against San Francisco to end an 0-for-19 slump.

“It means a lot. A mark that’s not easy to get,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said following his team’s 7-4 loss. “How many great players have put on this uniform? For Pete to be able to tie it, it’s something special for him and for all of us. We’re proud of him.”

Alonso was not available to speak with reporters after the game because of a personal situation, a Mets spokesman said.

The record-tying drive came in the same ballpark where Alonso launched the biggest home run of his career last October — although that one didn’t count toward his regular-season total. The slugger’s go-ahead, three-run shot in the ninth inning off All-Star closer Devin Williams saved New York’s season and rallied the Mets to a 4-2 victory over the Brewers in the decisive Game 3 of their NL Wild Card Series.

A homegrown star drafted by the Mets in 2016, Alonso broke into the big leagues with a bang in 2019, hitting 53 home runs to set a major league rookie record and establish a franchise high for a single season.

The five-time All-Star, nicknamed The Polar Bear, has reached 40 two other times and been one of the most consistent sluggers in baseball since his arrival. After a protracted negotiation, he returned to the Mets as a free agent in February on a $54 million, two-year contract that includes a $24 million player option for 2026, which Alonso will likely decline.

The only other active players who lead their current franchise in home runs are Manny Machado (Padres) and Mike Trout (Angels).

Giancarlo Stanton, now with the New York Yankees, holds the Miami mark with 267 for the Marlins.

Strawberry broke the previous Mets record with his 155th home run on May 3, 1988, passing Dave Kingman. The sweet-swinging outfielder hit 252 in 1,109 games for New York during his first eight major league seasons from 1983-90. He later played for the Dodgers, Giants and Yankees, finishing his 17-year career with 335 homers.

The 30-year-old Alonso played his 963rd game Saturday night. The durable first baseman has appeared in 370 straight, a team record.

The Diamondbacks and Padres are the lone major league clubs that haven’t had a player hit more than 252 homers for them. Luis Gonzalez holds the Arizona record with 224, and Machado entered Saturday with 187 for San Diego.

Langway long way from NHL in ECHL

Two-time Norris Trophy winner Rod Langway, who hasn’t played competitively since Feb. 21, 1993, is attempting a comeback of sorts with the Richmond Renegades of the East Coast League.

Langway, 37, parted company with the Washington Capitals on less than friendly terms after the 15-year yeter-an was told he would no longer be playing every game because the club wanted to work younger legs into the lineup. Langway was six games short of his 1,000th NHL contest.

Craig Laughlin, Richmond general manager and a former teammate of Langway with the Montreal Canadiens and Capitals, said Langway’s performance would be assessed on a game-by-game basis.

“I told him I didn’t want to put his life in jeopardy for a minor league team,” Laughlin said.

ECHL teams are allowed to dress three veterans. Langway will be used as a player and defensive tutor.

Laughlin and team president Harry Feuerstein said there were no immediate aims for Langway to attempt an NHL return.

The Renegades are averaging 5,700 fans a night and Feuerstein denied this was a publicity stunt to fill more seats.

“You don’t do publicity stunts with a team that’s in first place,” he said.

“Stunt assumes there’s some sham involved, that something’s wrong. The reality is Rod wants to play and promote the game.”

Langway has spent the past two years perfecting his golf game.

NOTEBOOK: The Capitals completed the first quarter of their schedule winless (0-6-2) on the road. In their first 12 games overall, they scored a league-low 22 goals, only nine at even strength…The team sent video to the NHL seeking redress after defenseman Jim Johnson received a two-handed slash across his left wrist from the Philadelphia Flyers’ Eric Lindros Feb. 13

64 Days Until Opening Night At Nationwide Arena

There have only been two players wear the #64 for the Columbus Blue Jackets. Unfortunately for Columbus, neither one of them made a significant impact for Columbus. Cleveland is a different story, however. 

Trey Fix-Wolansky 

Many people thought, despite being drafted so late in the draft and his diminutive size —5-foot-7, 180 pounds —he would turn out to be a really good winger in the NHL. So far, he’s yet to be able to show his talent at the NHL level.

Fix-Wolansky played three seasons in the WHL for the Edmonton Oil Kings. In those three seasons, he played 206 games, scored 93 goals, and had 245 points. His production improved year after year, so many thought he could translate that into the pros.

He made his full-season pro debut during the 2019-20 season for the AHL’s Cleveland Monsters. He would play in 43 games, score 12 goals, and end with 26 points. The following season, he suffered a leg injury that required surgery, limiting him to only nine games. But even in those limited games, he would have nine points.

In the 2021-22 season, Fix-Wolansky played in 53 games and had 33 points, but more importantly, on February 8th, 2022, he would make his NHL debut. Fix-Wolansky would score in his debut against the Washington Capitals, taking a pass and sneaking the puck by Phoenix Copley. He finished playing in six games for Columbus that season, netting two points. He had five shots in those six games and had an average time on ice of around six minutes. 

TFW's breakout season in the AHL would be the 2022-23 season. He would score 29 goals and total 71 points in 61 games. He set career highs in goals, assists, points, games played, and power-play goals. Fix-Wolansky played in nine games for the CBJ, scoring only one goal. He did average almost 13 minutes a game, however.

Fix-Wolansky had two very good seasons in 23-24 and 24-25. In each season, he finished with 26 goals and 60 points. Despite having an unreal career for Cleveland the last seven years, Fix-Wolansky never got an extended chance to prove he could be an everyday NHL player, and was not tendered a contract this summer. He went on to sign a deal with the New York Rangers. 

TFW is generally considered the greatest player in Monsters' history. He leads the Monsters franchise with 112 goals, 147 assists, and 259 points. Defenseman Jake Christiansen is the only active player close enough to catch TFW, but he was in Columbus last season, and most likely this season, so Fix-Wolansky's records are safe. 

Tyler Motte

Tyler Motte was the first player to wear #64 for the Blue Jackets, although it wasn't for very long. 

Motte was traded to Columbus by Chicago with Artemi Panarin and NY Islanders' 6th round pick (previously acquired, Columbus selected Jonathan Davidsson) in the 2017 NHL Draft for Brandon Saad, Anton Forsberg, and Columbus' 5th round pick in 2018 NHL Draft, June 23, 2017.

Motte would go to play in 31 games for the Blue Jackets, scoring 3 goals and 5 points, while averaging 9:56 per game of ice time. 

Later that season, Motte was traded the Vancouver by Columbus with Jussi Jokinen for Thomas Vanek, February 26, 2018.

The St. Clair, Michigan native went on to play four more seasons in Vancouver. After playing last season with his home state Detroit Red Wings, Motte currently sits without a contract after playing nine NHL seasons. 

As of right now, no other player is scheduled to wear #64 in the immediate future for the CBJ, but surely someday someone will take that number who will have an impact on the team. 

The Jackets have 64 days until opening night at Nationwide Arena, and fans are getting restless. The CBJ will take on the New Jersey Devils on Monday, October 13th at 7 PM. The Blue Jackets have much higher expectations this season than in previous years. Many expect the CBJ to make the playoffs, something they missed by a single win last season. Can the Blue Jackets overcome their deficiencies and weaknesses to make a playoff push in the weak Metro Division?

Goaltending seems to be the topic du jour just about every day in the CBJ universe, and this is something that probably won't go away unless Elvis and Jet Greaves both have outstanding seasons. All signs are pointing to that happening, and fans can't wait until the 25-26 season gets underway.

    ICYMI in Mets Land: Pete Alonso ties Darryl Strawberry's record, but losing skid continues

    Francisco Lindor owns costly error in Mets’ loss to Brewers: ‘I need to be better’

    Francisco Lindor is going through it right now. 

    The Mets’ All-Star has been struck in a brutal slump at the plate for about two months now, and on Saturday night those struggles spilled over to the field. 

    With the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the second, Frankie Montas was able to get Brewers infielder Joey Ortiz to ground into what appeared to be an inning ender. 

    However, Lindor was unable to come up with the high-hopping chopper up the middle and it bounced past him into center for a two-run knock.

    Montas luckily escaped without further damage on his ledger, but it was a bad break for a starter who has been struggling mightily since making his season debut. 

    “I wasn’t able to help Montas that inning,” Lindor said. “He executed, got us the pitch we needed to get out of that inning without damage against -- it’s a routine groundball and should have been made. Montas is a guy going through it and I wanted to be there for him in that moment.”

    Frustration finally boiled over for the usually calm and collected Lindor, as cameras caught him slamming his glove after making his way back to the dugout in between innings. 

    “I take a lot of pride in my defense,” the usually sure-handed shortstop said. “The pitchers work as hard as they can, they execute the pitch and if there’s a groundball to me it’s up to me to be able to finish the play for them.

    “I think that’s the frustrating part of this -- every year there’s a moment where I vent out like that, just this time it was right there in the dugout. I have to be better. I have to pick up my teammates and be there for them, I just have to be better.”

    The Mets certainly do need Lindor to be better as they look to claw out of this brutally tough stretch. 

    Even after dropping the first two games in Milwaukee, New York still holds the third NL Wild Card spot, but they have one of the worst records in all of baseball since the beginning of June. 

    With three straight hitless showings, Lindor is hitting just .208 with a .641 OPS over that span. 

    If they want to turn things around down the stretch, they'll need their star shortstop to  get himself going again.

    One Flyers Prospect Nobody Is Talking About Ahead of 2025-26 Season

    The Philadelphia Flyers have quite a few roster spots ready to be filled by up-and-coming prospects next season, but there's one prospect who should be talked about much more.

    By now, we all know about Alex Bump and the praise he's consistently received from the Flyers, and an opportunity for Nikita Grebenkin in the wake of Tyson Foerster's offseason injury.

    But, what about the defense? What about Oliver Bonk?

    It's always harder to shelter a young defenseman at the NHL level than a young forward, but Oliver Bonk is uniquely equipped to handle the challenge.

    The 20-year-old is going to be turning pro this fall, but long Memorial Cup campaigns have prevented him from getting any tastes of AHL action to this point.

    But, Bonk's strong points have always lied in his hockey IQ and understanding of how to play his position effectively. He's not the biggest, fastest, or most skilled defenseman, but knows what he needs to do on the ice and why.

    Veteran defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen isn't expected to be ready to play for the Flyers by the start of the season, which means opportunity for players like Bonk, Emil Andrae, and Helge Grans.

    All it takes is an impressive training camp to crack the door open, and The Athletic prospects expert Scott Wheeler thinks Bonk is ready for the challenge.

    Bonk’s smarts are his game’s defining quality but he has also defended at one of the highest levels in junior hockey over the last couple of years, has an impressive feel for coverage and timing and escapes pressure well despite having average feet," Wheeler said of Bonk in his July prospect rankings.

    "He just looks like he’s going to be a solid two-way defenseman who can influence play and potentially help out on both special teams, even if he’s not a natural power-play quarterback or your prototypical penalty killer. He projects as a No. 3-5 defenseman. . . I expect him to play in the NHL in 2025-26, if not full-time, then at least to start."

    Flyers' Spencer Gill Will Be Way Better Than You ThinkFlyers' Spencer Gill Will Be Way Better Than You ThinkSpencer Gill is one Philadelphia Flyers prospect who doesn't draw nearly as much fanfare as he should, and that's not his fault.

    Further supporting the possibility of Bonk playing in the NHL soon, Wheeler notably ranked Bonk (45th overall) ahead of fellow defensemen Kevin Korchinski (62nd), Scott Morrow (67th), Maveric Lamoureux (80th), and Seamus Casey (85th).

    The common denominator for all of those players? Each has played NHL games already.

    So, not only does Bonk have the pedigree that supports an early NHL debut, but similar players have already done the same.

    Whether the Flyers give him a real opportunity to make remains to be seen, but the roster spot is there for the taking.

    Oliver Bonk has a legitimate chance to make the Flyers outright to start the 2025-26 season.

    Sasha Barkov enjoys 'more relaxed' Stanley Cup day in Tampere that included home cooking, sauna

    Florida Panthers Captain Aleksander Barkov is becoming the face of hockey in his native Finland.

    Winning back-to-back Stanley Cups and Selke Trophies certainly helps his cause, as does becoming the first Finnish-born captain to hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup in the history of the NHL.

    On Saturday, Barkov utilized his special day with the Stanley Cup to share it fans, friends and family in his hometown of Tampere, Finland.

    “I think pretty much the first thing you think about when people say ‘Finland’ is ice hockey,” Barkov said. “Everyone loves hockey here, everyone is watching hockey and follows hockey. It’s great, it’s like a lifestyle here, just like Canada.”

    To no surprise considering his love for tennis and paddleball, Barkov brought the Cup to PadelOne Arena for some time with fans.

    “I’ve been here a couple times, watching paddle tournaments,” Barkov said. “It’s one of my favorite sports that I play.”

    He said that compared to last year, this summer’s Stanley Cup day felt a bit more laid back, which was by design.

    “Last year was kind of hectic, so this year I’m trying to do it in a more relaxed way,” he said.

    He also made sure to leave time for a trip to the sauna, and some home cooking from his momma.

    You can check out footage of Barkov's day with the Stanley Cup in the video below:

    It’s been several days now that the Stanley Cup has been in Finland.

    First, it was with Cats defenseman Niko Mikkola, in and around his hometown of Kiiminki.

    Mikkola’s day included visits to a children’s hospital, a couple of his former schools and his former youth rink Jäälihalli.

    The following day, Florida Assistant Coach Tuomo Ruutu got to do something pretty cool with the Cup in Helsinki.

    Photos posted on X by Phil Pritchard, the Hockey Hall of Fame’s Keeper of the Cup, showed Ruutu posing with the cup on the field of Olympic Stadium.

    He even kicked a soccer ball around the pitch at the home of Finland’s national team.
