ROME (AP) — Substitute Vitinha and Leo Ostigard scored in Genoa's 2-0 win at last-place Verona in the Italian league on Sunday as Daniele De Rossi’s side moved even further away from the relegation zone.
Genoa is in 13th place with 33 points after 29 rounds, nine points above 18th-place Cremonese.
Serie A leader Inter Milan was held 1-1 by Atalanta at home on Saturday, leaving the door open for AC Milan to further close the gap to its rival. Lagging eight points behind Inter, AC Milan played at Lazio later Sunday.
Vitinha scored right after coming on as a replacement for Caleb Ekuban with a powerful shot from long range around the hour mark. Ostigard made it 2-0 in the 86th minute with a header from a free kick.
On 71 minutes came a classic Manchester United riposte, via Matheus Cunha, to Ross Barkley’s equaliser moments before. From around halfway, the peerless Bruno Fernandes glanced up and steered the ball through an inside left channel for Cunha. United’s No 10 galloped forward and as Emiliano Martínez loomed large the Brazilian’s curled finish was a peach that kissed the far right of the net, Cunha stepping forward before the Stretford End to soak up the ecstatic adoration.
Fernandes’ assist was his second of the contest and 16th in total in the Premier League: a record for United, this term’s competition high, and a latest argument for him winning the player of the season awards.

The field was halved Friday in the WBC, and once again Saturday, with a pair of impressive games and historic milestones for national baseball in Italy and Venezuela.
Yesterday’s matchups and how the Mariners performed:
Italy 8, Puerto Rico 6
The caffeinated fairy tale continues. Facing the ace of Team Puerto Rico in Royals starter Seth Lugo, Italy bounced back from a leadoff homer by PR star Willi Castro to stake a 4-1 lead after the first. While a bases-loaded HBP cut the score to 4-2 in the 2nd and ensured neither club’s starter recorded more than four outs, Italy’s lead swelled to a seemingly-insurmountable 8-2 in the 4th despite one of the more egregious fan interferences you’re likely to see. The threadbare Puerto Rican roster fought back ferociously, but came up just short against Red Sox reliever Jacob Weissert, who encored his shutdown performance in Italy’s upset of Team USA to cover the final 1.2 frames and send home the plucky Puerto Ricans 8-6.
The lone Mariner to play was Dominic Canzone notching a 1-for-3 night with two walks, two runs. That said, former M’s abounded in this one, with Yacksel Rios and Edwin Diaz working 1.2 combined scoreless frames for PR. Dan Altavilla was sterling in his inning for Italy, but Matt Festa ran into trouble with his command and was instrumental to the comeback effort that the Italians managed to quash. It’s Italy’s first trip to the semifinals in the WBC, while for Puerto Rico an exit earlier than hoped, but more than worthy of pride given the absence of 3-4 of the island’s stars.
Venezuela 8, Japan 5
What. A. Game. Attended by yours truly, I’m pleased to inform you all that this heavyweight bout was just as good as it appeared. The reigning WBC champs put their ace, and World Series MVP, Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the hill against Venezuela’s best hope – new Red Sox southpaw Ranger Suarez. Neither starter shone, with Suarez run after 2.2 thanks to homers from Shohei Ohtani and injury-replacement Shota Morishita, while Yamamoto hung on for four frames but could not go deep due to dangerous innings from the Venezuelans.
The game was a star turn for the left side of Venezuela’s infield, which saw Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar and Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia scorch the ball all night, sparking a comeback made possible by astounding work from the ostensible weakness of the Venezuela club: the pitching staff. Starting with Mariners reliever Eduard Bazardo, who staunched the bleeding for Suarez to conclude the third inning, not a single run crossed the plate in the potent Samurai Japan lineup. A collection of journeymen like Enmanuel De Jesus and Andres Machado, who’d last pitched in MLB in 2023, as well as bullpen arms of decent repute in Jose Butto and Angel Zerpa, afforded Wilyer Abreu the chance to blast the roof off loanDepot Park.
Former Mariner Yusei Kikuchi kept things tight, but Japan could not find the answer for Cubs closer Daniel Palencia, and the raucous Miami crowd got to welcome Venezuela to the semifinals – and a clinched spot alongside Italy, U.S.A., and the Dominican Republic in the Olympics for baseball in 2028.
Venezuela will face Italy on Monday, March 16th at 5 PM PT on FS1, to determine who will play the winner of tonight’s matchup.
Today’s Semifinal Matchup:
United States at Dominican Republic: 5 PM PT, FS1 – loanDepot Park, Miami, FL Pitching probables: Paul Skenes for USA, Luis Severino for DR
I implore you. Watch this game. Give yourself a gift, as we all have been. Find a bar, or a friend, or a Fubo free trial. This is what this tournament is all about. What baseball is capable of. The most imposing lineup in the world for the Dominican Republic faces the most difficult pitcher to hit in the world in Paul Skenes.
Winner goes to the Championship Game, which will be held on March 17 at 5 PM PT on FOX.

First pitch against the Pittsburgh Pirates is at 1:05 at Charlotte Sports Park and the Rays will be providing radio coverage.
For months, the Calgary Flames have faced a stark reality: their current roster, despite flashes of talent and veteran leadership, is not built to contend for the top of the NHL.
A combination of aging stars, cap constraints, and a need to inject youth left the organization with a difficult choice. That decision came into sharp focus on March 6, 2026, when the Flames traded veteran forward Nazem Kadri, along with a 2027 fourth-round pick, to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for the rights to Max Curran, winger Victor Olofsson, a conditional 2027 second-round pick, and a conditional 2028 first-round selection.
Kadri, a cornerstone of the locker room and a proven scorer, carries a $7 million cap hit through the 2028-29 season—a figure that increasingly limited Calgary’s flexibility to add younger talent and build a sustainable core. For a franchise embarking on a multi-year reconstruction, retaining Kadri while balancing salary and roster development simply wasn’t feasible.
Nazem Kadri CALLS GAME in the 8th round of the shootout 🔥
Trading a player of Kadri’s stature is never undertaken lightly. He consistently delivered offensively, brought playoff experience, and served as a leader in the dressing room. His departure underscores the Flames’ acknowledgment that the team cannot realistically compete at the highest level without recalibrating its strategy. The organization is now fully committed to a long-term rebuild, one that prioritizes youth, cap flexibility, and draft capital over established veteran presence.

The trade also creates opportunities for younger players to step into meaningful roles. John Beecher, for example, recently showcased his potential with a two-goal performance in Calgary’s 5–4 win over the New Jersey Devils. Kadri’s exit clears the path for emerging talent to take on central positions and gain valuable NHL experience, accelerating the franchise’s evolution.
Draft Capital as the Cornerstone
Ultimately, the success of Calgary’s rebuild will hinge on its draft strategy. By exchanging a fourth-round pick for the potential of a second-rounder and a first-round selection, contingent on conditions, the Flames have placed their future in the hands of scouting and player development. Smart drafting could fast-track the team’s return to competitiveness, while missteps could extend the rebuilding timeline. Every choice in the coming years will reverberate far beyond the immediate roster.
According to TSN’s Craig Button, the Flames boast a pair of promising prospects. In his annual ranking of the top 50 NHL-drafted prospects, two Flames prospects made the list: Cole Reschny at 24th and Ethan Wyttenbach at 39th.
Reschny, from Macklin, Saskatchewan, was a first-round pick by the Flames in 2025, selected 18th overall with the pick acquired from New Jersey in the Jacob Markstrom trade. He spent two seasons with the Western Hockey League’s Victoria Royals, including a standout 92-point campaign in 2024–25, his draft-eligible season. Reschny also impressed internationally, delivering a strong showing for Canada at the Under-18 World Championships.

Looking Forward
The Flames had little choice but to move Kadri. Calgary is entering a period defined by strategic patience, calculated risk, and the deliberate cultivation of young talent. The organization is signaling that the next chapter of the franchise will be built on potential and opportunity, with a new core poised to shape the team’s future. For fans, Kadri’s departure represents both the closing of a familiar era and the opening of a promising—though inherently uncertain—one.

Warriors computer picks
Quinten Post Over 10.5 points (-110)
Projection: 13.4
The Golden State Warriors' injury report is looking like a grocery list, which means plenty of minutes for able bodies.
No Al Horford and Draymond Green means Quinten Post is in line for a big minutes bump. Someone will need to score, and Post will be that guy.
span style="font-size: 14px;"🔥/span spanBet Quinten Post Now at bet365!/span
Quinten Post Over 1.5 threes (-160)
Projection: 2.4
More playing time means more shots for the 7-footer, who hasn't shied away from letting it fly when needed. Post has hit two threes multiple times this season, and he's in line to do so again tonight at MSG.
span style="font-size: 14px;"🔥/span spanBet Quinten Post Now at bet365!/span
Gui Santos Over 5.5 rebounds (-150)
Projection: 6.7
Gui Santos will also get a big minutes bump tonight, and he's in line for a big night on the boards.
Santos has started in five straight for the shorthanded Dubs, clearing this rebound total in three of them. The biggest outing came when he snared 11 boards in 37 minutes vs. OKC.
His minutes will be in the high 30s again, giving him ample time to clean the glass.
span style="font-size: 14px;"🔥/span spanBet Gui Santos Now at bet365!/span
Knicks computer picks
Mikal Bridges Over 11.5 points (-120)
Projection: 14.3
A string of rough games has dropped Mikal Bridges' points line to 11.5, which provides us with an excellent buyback spot.
The 29-year-old is still averaging 15 points per game, and our projections have him scoring nearly three more points than his line.
Bridges will get four to six threes up, and his 38% three-point shooting tells us he'll hit enough of those to get him close to or Over this number.
span style="font-size: 14px;"🔥/span spanBet Mikal bridges Now at bet365!/span
Jalen Brunson Under 7.5 assists (-110)
Projection: 6.7
Jalen Brunson has been racking up the dimes over the last month, but our projections call for him to go Under 7.5 assists tonight.
While he can reach this total with ease, he may not need to. The Knicks are 14.5-point favorites, and there's a world where Brunson and the rest of the starters sit the entire fourth quarter. It's hard to get assists with your ass planted on the bench.
span style="font-size: 14px;"🔥/span spanBet XYZ Now at bet365!/span
Mitchell Robinson Over 4.5 points (-112)
Projection: 5.7
As mentioned, the Warriors are missing a majority of their interior defense. This opens the door for New York to run some of its offense through Mitchell Robinson. The big man will also be feeling himself after posting a career high in points on Friday.
Three buckets cash this prop, and the line is too low for us not to jump on it.

There isn’t a lot for Blue Jays’ news this morning.
The team has announced that Kevin Gausman will be our opening day starter. So far he’s thrown 4.1 innings of ‘official spring’ ball so fair. He hasn’t allowed a run, with four hits, one walk and six strikeouts. Last year he had a 3.59 ERA in 32 starts.
Brendon Little has added a couple of pitches and dropped one from last year:
Pitch Repertoire Update! ⚾️🚨📢 Brendon Little (TOR) has added a four-seamer & slider this year in place of the cutter he threw in 2025; his full arsenal is now SI / FF / SL / KChttps://t.co/U7PVgzr9Xm
He’s looking to have a something else he can throw in the strikezone. It looks like he’ll be the number one lefty in the pen, so it’s good to see him looking to fix things up that weren’t working at the end of last season.
So far this spring, he’s thrown five innings, three hits, four walks and eight strikeouts with no runs against. we’ll see how things go.
The Jays play at 1:00 Eastern. Grant Rogers is starting. Since Berrios is suddenly out, we get a spring bullpen day. But the team is bringing a surprising number of regulars to St. Lucie County. Google maps says it is a 3 hour 15 minute days. Generally veterans don’t like to make bus rides that long.

What should we expect the Jays rotation to look like the first time through?
Gausman, Cease, Scherzer, Ponce, Lauer? Or will Yesavage be ready? Pretty doubtful.
Then it is a game of when will Yesavage, Bieber and Berrios be ready. Maybe Mr. Grant Rogers there is closer than I think.
On the bullpen side, does Spencer Miles make the team? Angel Bastardo?
Beyond that: Hoffman, Tyler Rogers, Varland, Nance, Little, Fisher, Nance and Fluharty. That’s eight guys without Miles or Bastardo.

MUNICH (AP) — An unlikely run of injuries has sidelined Bayern Munich's top three goalkeepers and could mean the German champion starts New York-born 16-year-old Leonard Prescott for its upcoming Champions League game against Atalanta.
With first-choice Manuel Neuer recovering from a calf muscle tear, Prescott was on the bench in the Champions League last week as Bayern beat Atalanta 6-1 in the first leg of their round-of-16 encounter.
At the time it seemed mostly like a chance to familiarize a promising young player, who starts for the Bayern under-19 team, with a more professional environment.
Prescott was born in New York but started his playing career at Union Berlin before a 2023 move to Bayern’s academy. He has also played for the German under-17 national team.
Prescott has suddenly become a possible starter after Jonas Urbig was concussed in a collision in the final minute of the game. Backup Sven Ulreich tore his right adductor in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen but stayed on the field. He will be “sidelined for the time being,” Bayern said Sunday, after he was examined following the game.
If Neuer or the others can't recover in time, that could leave Prescott as Bayern's starter against Atalanta on Wednesday after he was also the backup for Ulreich on Saturday.
Among the other goalkeepers under contract to Bayern, reserve-team goalkeeper Leon Klanac has been injured since December and Daniel Peretz is on loan at Southampton.
One other option besides Prescott might be the 19-year-old Jannis Bärtl, who has played reserve games since Klanac's injury and was on the bench for two Bundesliga games this season.

The Houston Astros (8-10-3) host the Miami Marlins (8-10-2) in Grapefruit League play.
RHP Cristian Javier is set to make his second start of the Grapefruit League. RHP Eury Perez will be on the mound for the Marlins.
TODAY’S STARTER: RHP Cristian Javier is making his second start of the Grapefruit League this season. In his only outing in the Grapefruit League on March 9 vs. STL, he allowed one earned run on one hit and three walks with three strikeouts in 1.2 innings.
In his return from Tommy John surgery in 2025, Javier made eight starts, going 2-4 with a 4.62 ERA (19ER/37IP), 34 strikeouts and a .230 opponent average. In his career, Javier has held opponents to a .203 (397×1956) batting average. Among AL pitchers to toss 525.0-plus innings between the 202025 seasons, Javier ranks first in the AL in that category.
He’s also helped author several notable moments in his career, starting a combined no-hitter in Game 4 of the 2022 World Series, as well as a combined no-hitter in June of that season at Yankee Stadium.
TODAY’S POTENTIAL RELIEVERS: RHP Bryan Abreu, RHP AJ Blubaugh, LHP Bryan King, LHP Steven Okert and RHP Christian Roa
TODAY’S ROSTER MOVES: The Astros have reassigned LHP Tom Cosgrove and RHP Amos Willingham to minor league camp.
LINEUP NOTES: Astros top prospect Kevin Alvarez will play LF and bat fifth. Alvarez, 18, played last season for DSL Astros Blue in his first year of professional baseball. He slashed .301/.419/.455 with 12 doubles, 3 triples and 2 homes in 156 AB. He also walked more than he struck out (23/19) and stole 11 bases.

Are the Oklahoma City Thunder hot or not? With seven straight wins, OKC has its longest win streak since winning 16 in a row during its 24-1 start to the season. However, the Thunder have failed to cover in all seven games.
That changes today. Minnesota is finishing a road trip and may be without MVP candidate Anthony Edwards, who's dealing with a bad knee. My Timberwolves vs. Thunder predictions and NBA picks see the Thunder getting a cover as they win again.
Timberwolves vs Thunder prediction
Timberwolves vs Thunder best bet: Thunder -7.5 (-105)
The Minnesota Timberwolves snapped a three-game losing streak — both straight up and ATS — with a win at Golden State. However,they've failed to cover in the game following a victory 60% of the time this season.
Minnesota has been this large an underdog just one other time this season, and that was also against the Oklahoma City Thunder. They've covered in all three games against the Thunder this year, but the teams haven’t played in a month and a half.
Since then, Minnesota has gone 6-12 ATS. OKC had been 8-3 ATS since that game before the current, puzzling 7-game streak.
Timberwolves vs Thunder same-game parlay
OKC plays at the No. 18 pace in the league. Minnesota is at No. 10. Lately, both teams seem to have slowed things down. OKC has gone Under five of the last six games, including two games with cutoffs below 220. Minnesota has gone Under in six of the last eight, including two with a points cutoff lower than today’s.
Ajay Mitchell faces the prospect of having to defend against a Minnesota team that's either missing Anthony Edwards or he’ll be guarding a hobbled Edwards. That should free him up to spend more energy on the other end of the floor, where he’s scored at least 15 in four of the last five.
Timberwolves vs Thunder SGP
Thunder -7.5
Under 226.5
Ajay Mitchell Over 13.5 points
Our "from downtown" SGP: Ajay Against Ayo!
Edwards is a game-time decision. If he doesn’t play, Ayo Dosunmu will likely see an increase in shots. Even if Edwards plays, Dosunmu has scored in double digits in four of the last five and remains a good pick to go Over.
OKC center Isaiah Hartenstein is day-to-day with a calf injury. That means Chet Holmgren will need to handle more of the work in the paint. He’s pulled down 58 rebounds in the last five games, so getting 9+ against a Minnesota team that ranks No. 19 in the league in offensive rebounding seems likely.
Timberwolves vs Thunder SGP
Under 226.5
Ajay Mitchell Over 13.5 points
Ayo Dosunmu Over 10.5 points
Chet Holmgren Over 8.5 rebounds
Timberwolves vs Thunder odds
Spread: Timberwolves +8.5 | Thunder -8.5
Moneyline: Timberwolves +275 | Thunder -320
Over/Under: Over 225.5 | Under 225.5
