ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Champion Jonathan "The General" Haggerty had a ringside view of his brother Freddie Haggerty's toughest ****** ignment yet, and he could not have been happier with how it played out.
The younger Haggerty overcame Rungruanglek TN Muaythai via unanimous decision in their strawweight Muay Thai battle at The Inner Circle 30 in Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium this past Friday, September 11.
Freddie dropped Rungruanglek twice across the opening two rounds, first with a counter left hook off the ropes, then with a follow-up left hook to the temple off an exit from the clinch.
Rungruanglek tried to weather the storm with digging elbows and working Freddie's legs, but the 21-year-old Englishman stayed composed on the back foot, picking the Thai knockout artist apart with sharp counters until the final bell.
The unanimous decision snapped Rungruanglek's five-fight winning streak and pushed Freddie's record to 25-5 overall, marking his second straight victory of 2026 on the subscriber-exclusive Asia primetime card.

Bubic has been recovering from elbow and shoulder injury concerns. According to Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times, Bubic is going to join the Dodgers on Monday. However, he is not being activated from the injured list yet.
"Kris Bubic is set to join the Dodgers in Cincinnati, per sources. But because he made a rehab appearance yesterday, he isn't expected to be activated right away," Lee reported.
The fact that he is joining the team is encouraging. It seems as if he could be activated fairly soon, even if the move doesn't happen Monday.

Kyler Murray was knocked out of the Minnesota Vikings' Week 1 game against the Green Bay Packers when Javon Bullard delivered a dangerous hit to the quarterback's head. Referees threw a flag and penalized Bullard for unnecessary roughness, but it's the kind of play that the NFL will probably be looking at today to determine whether further action should be taken against the Packers' safety.
For ESPN's Tedy Bruschi, who spent 13 seasons playing linebacker in the NFL, there's no question that Bullard was trying to hurt Murray on the play. As Bruschi told the other panelists on "Get Up" Monday morning, "he knew exactly what he was doing."

"Let me tell you something I can do as a defender," Burschi explained. I mean I can remember this, I can pinpoint my helmet or wherever my hit is or my shoulder on any minute detail on your body. I can target whatever I want and going full speed I can hit it. Alright, I can be that accurate with my hit. That hit right there was to the head and neck area. He knew exactly what he was doing with that forearm. With that elbow because you can put it on the knees. You can put it in the stomach. He wanted to put it on the head and neck right there."

EAST LANSING — Michigan State coach Pat Fitzgerald thinks he may have his most important defensive player back for next week's game against Notre Dame.
In his postgame press conference after a 35-7 win over Eastern Michigan on Saturday, Sept. 12, Fitzgerald said that starting middle linebacker Jordan Hall was not cleared for the game by medical personnel but could be available for Week 3's rivalry game in South Bend.
"Jordan was really close playing today," Fitzgerald said. "Medical team told us that he was not cleared here late in the week. We made that decision collectively together to make sure that we think about his health, safety, and well-being. And I expect if we practice tomorrow that he'll be ready to go."
Hall made 88 tackles last season to lead Michigan State's defense and is a two-time captain. The senior made four tackles in 25 snaps in Week 1's win over Toledo but came on and off the field with a right elbow injury sustained on the second drive of the season. He walked into Spartan Stadium on Saturday with a brace on that right arm.

Francisco Cerundolo added to Team World Laver Cup roster after Tommy Paul injury originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Francisco Cerundolo will replace American Tommy Paul on Team World for the 10th edition of the Laver Cup. Paul suffered an elbow injury at the US Open and will not be able to participate. It is the second year in a row Paul was injured at the US Open and had to be replaced.
This will be the fourth straight Laver Cup for the Argentinian, who reached the fourth round of the US Open. He also reached the fourth round of the Australian Open in January, which are career-bests for a Grand Slam for the the 28-year-old.
Cerundolo has a 3-1 record at the Laver Cup, with all the matches being in singles. Last year in San Francisco during Team World's 15-9 win, Cerundolo defeated Holger Rue and lost to Carlos Alcaraz.
"I'm really excited to be back with Team World for my fourth Laver Cup," said Cerundolo. "I have so many great memories from the event. It's a unique experience getting to know your teammates and playing for each other. I'm looking forward to being back with the team in London."

The Dodgers on Friday called up phenom Josue De Paula, their top prospect, and placed Shohei Ohtani on the 15-day injured list. Those were the expected moves, and took care of the active-roster component. But to make room on the 40-man roster for De Paula, the Dodgers transferred left-hander Eric Lauer to the 60-day injured list.
Lauer had been on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation since September 2, one day after allowing seven runs in three innings in his worst start since joining the Dodgers. Moving him to the 60-day injured list means Lauer won't be eligible to pitch in the postseason. His 2026 campaign has concluded.
The 31-year-old left-hander was acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays on May 17 after Lauer was designated for **** ignment by Toronto, with the Jays paying all but $600,000 of his remaining $3.1 million salary the rest of the way. The Dodgers won each of Lauer's first nine appearances with the team, a stretch in which he did not allow more than three runs in any outing.
Lauer had two blow-up starts — six runs in four innings on August 5 at Wrigley Field, September 1 at home vs. Cardinals — but mostly did everything that was asked of him, lasting at least six innings in seven of his 13 outings, including 11 starts. In all, Lauer had a 4.50 ERA and 4.48 xERA in 72 innings with the Dodgers. Combining his numbers with the Blue Jays, Lauer on the season had a 5.23 ERA and 5.03 xERA in 22 games, including 18 starts, with 72 strikeouts and 35 walks in 108 1/3 innings, with 26 home runs allowed.
Ohtani was officially placed on the injured list with right biceps inflammation, which is what manager Dave Roberts mentioned Ohtani aggravated on a swing in Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds, the only one of an eight-game stretch in which Ohtani played.

Qinwen Zheng's incredible US Open run has now come to an end.
Zheng underwent elbow surgery last year and had since struggled to rediscover the form that helped her reach world number four in the WTA rankings, an Australian Open final and win Olympic gold.
As a result, Zheng had dropped down the rankings and had to play qualifying at the US Open as the world number 121.
Not only did Zheng come through qualifying, but she made it all the way to the quarter-finals and she will now be rewarded in the WTA rankings.

Elena Rybakina is one win away from the world number one ranking, but the Kazakh star says her main goal in her US Open quarter-final clash with Zheng Qinwen on Wednesday is to advance toward a third Grand Slam ******* le.
"Number one ranking is, of course, one of the goals," Rybakina says. "But I think the main focus for me is to win the ******* les, and then the ranking will follow up."
Rybakina arrived at Flushing Meadows as one of four women with a chance to supplant Aryna Sabalenka atop the rankings, and the only one with her fate in her own hands. Reaching the semis will send her to the summit for the first time, and she could even get there if she loses -- if Sabalenka, world number three Jessica Pegula and fourth-ranked Coco Gauff all fail to lift the trophy.
Rybakina, who has shown no sign of the foot injury that hindered her US Open preparations, will be out to halt the remarkable run of Zheng -- the Paris Olympics gold medallist who had to come through qualifying thanks to a rankings plunge in the wake of elbow surgery last year.
Gauff, in the quarters for the first time since she won the US Open ******* le in 2023, will take on fifth-seeded French Open champion Mirra Andreeva for a place in the semis while men's top seed Alexander Zverev faces Dutch veteran Botic van de Zandschulp.

Zheng Qinwen pulled off another US Open stunner Monday, beating Iga Swiatek to book a quarter final with Elena Rybakina as men's top seed Alexander Zverev advanced safely to the last eight.
It was one more gritty comeback for Zheng, the Paris Olympics gold medallist and a former world number four now ranked 121st after struggling in the wake of elbow surgery last year.
Zheng had won the last seven games, saving a match point, as she shocked Madison Keys in her previous match.
After falling behind 5-0 in the first set against six-time Grand Slam champion Swiatek she again reeled off seven straight games.
She then broke Swiatek twice in the second set to clinch the win.

LOS ANGELES — Tommy Edman made a fantastic defensive play to rob extra bases, then rounded said bases after a three-run home run that helped the Dodgers to a 6-5 win over the Washington Nationals on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium.
Down two runs in the seventh inning, Alex Freeland walked with one out and Kiké Hernández singled with two out. That set the stage for Edman, who jumped on a high slider from former Dodgers draft pick Clayton Beeter for a three-run home run, turning the game around.
Edman in five games on the homestand has nine hits in 22 at-bats (.409), what a way to make a living.
With no Shohei Ohtani in the lineup for a third straight day, the Dodgers were also without two other planned starters with Dalton Rushing scratched with elbow soreness and Max Muncy sick. They still managed to score a pair off Washington's best starter, Cade Cavalli in the opening frame. Freddie Freeman was hit by a pitch and Mookie Betts singled with one out. Teoscar Hernández continued his solid week or so with an RBI single, and catcher Hunter Feduccia added another.
Tyler Glasnow struck out eight but pitched through traffic most of his night, and allowed four runs.

#Dodgers #night

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers originally planned to start Dalton Rushing at designated hitter and Max Muncy at third base on Saturday against the Washington Nationals, but both were scratched from the lineup. Rushing has elbow soreness and Muncy is sick, the team said.
Rushing spent four weeks on the injured list after a partial tear of the UCL in his right elbow before getting activated on Tuesday. He played in each of the last four games, batting only, going hitless in four at-bats plus a hit by pitch.
Several hours before first pitch on Saturday, Rushing was going through drills to test his elbow, including throwing from varying distances in the outfield, including what looked like to be around 120 feet. Rushing also did drills throwing to second base from behind home plate.
In their place, Teoscar Hernández moved from left field to designated hitter with Alex Call now starting in left field, and Kiké Hernández was inserted into the lineup at third base.

Trailing 5-0 in the third set against No. 22 seed Madison Keys, Qinwen Zheng staged a thrilling comeback by winning the next seven games to secure a 1-6, 7-6 (3), 7-5 victory on Saturday, Sept. 5 and reach the fourth round of the US Open in New York.
Zheng, the 2024 Olympic gold medalist from China, held serve while trailing 5-0, then saved a match point with Keys serving at 5-1. Zheng broke the 2017 U.S. Open runner-up three times during her seven-game run before serving out the improbable victory in two hours, 28 minutes.
"I'm just telling myself (to) keep holding every single point, never give up, stay there and somehow, little by little, it just happened," Zheng said in her on-court interview.
In 2024, when she won gold at the Olympics after advancing to the Australian Open final, Zheng was ranked as high as No. 4. However, following right elbow surgery, she is at No. 121 and had to make it through qualifying just to reach the main draw at the U.S. Open.
"After the surgery, it was not easy," Zheng said. "It felt like I lost a bit of my energy on the tennis court. I've been through really tough (moments) these last three, four, five months.

You know how you can tell when somebody's on the verge of extracting the prize from prizefighting? It's when they begin to dominate headlines without ever throwing a punch.
Oh, Usman Nurmagomedov came close to doing just that in his first unofficial Octagon visit. Last weekend in Shanghai he hopped the fence like a thief in the night after Song Yadong sent his older brother Umar "to the land of wind and ghosts," as my colleague Ben Fowlkes likes to say, loading up as if deliver an elbow as Song did his victory lap. Fortunately, he didn't do it, yet that semi-action — which Usman himself said was much ado about nothing — helped him generate more headlines than Song.
A couple of weeks prior, out in Philadelphia, Usman was shown on the UFC 330 broadcast sitting cageside, the first indications that the UFC is biding its time until it can sign him. It might've been the most exciting thing about the event. The word being tossed around about the world's top MMA free agent signing with the UFC has been "inevitable" ever since, which feels a little Calvinistic for a man of free will.
Everybody is talking about Usman Nurmagomedov. At just 28 and coming into his prime, he's undefeated at 22-0 (1 NC), and he has the sacred name. In fact, he's got two if you factor Kamaru into this. He has Bellator belts in the back of his closet somewhere, and PFL ******* les that he shows off at parties. Henry Cejudo said on a podcast this week that the PFL, Usman's longtime promotion, would go belly-up if they let the last of the invincible Nurmagomedov's walk.
"He leaves the PFL tomorrow, the PFL is finished," Cejudo declared. "Straight up."

Goalkeepers are a rare breed. Spend enough time around soccer, and you begin to understand the stereotype.
They are the players who stand in front of shots traveling toward them at terrifying speeds. They dive headfirst toward boots, knees, elbows and goalposts. When the team is winning, they are rarely the center of attention. When things go wrong, however, the blame can fall squarely on their shoulders.
Penalty kicks capture the job best: Any other player on the roster can choose whether to step up and take one. The goalkeeper has no choice but to stand there and face it.
The position requires a particular combination of bravery, confidence and just enough absurdity. There is a certain badass element to the job.
Season 4 of Apple TV's "Ted Lasso" is finally paying attention to this.

MOOSIC, PA(WBRE/WYOU)— The RailRiders pulled to within two games of first place with a 9-2 win on Wednesday night over the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre put up four runs in the first inning, never trailing in the win over the I-Pigs.
Jasson Dominguez started the scoring in the first with a single to right field, bringing in Jarred Kelenic. The next batter J.C. Escarra continued the hit parade with a single to shallow right. That brought in Anthony Volpe, putting runners on the corners for Marco Luciano. The SWB second baseman drove a ball to the wall to bring in Dominguez. Oswaldo Cabrera ended the merry-go-round with a fielder's choice, and a fourth run for the RailRiders.
Yanquiel Fernandez matched Double-R's first four runs, with four runs driven in of his own. Fernandez hit two home runs on Wednesday, his team leading 23rd and 24th of the season. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre DH went 3-for-4 on the night, with two home runs and four RBI.
New York Yankees pitcher Clark Schmidt started the game for the RailRiders. The start was Schmidt's second rehab start since having elbow surgery last July. Schmidt pitched 0.2 innings last Saturday for the Yankees Double-A team.
Schmidt tossed 2.0 innings for SWB on Wednesday night. He struck out three batters, while also allowing one run on three hits.

Red Sox Receive Encouraging Ceddanne Rafaela Update After Early Exit originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Boston Red Sox did not have many reasons to feel good after Wednesday's 8-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners, but the initial news on Ceddanne Rafaela appears encouraging. Rafaela was removed after the sixth inning because of quad tightness. Interim manager Chad Tracy indicated the move was precautionary, especially with the Red Sox trailing 8-1 at the time.
"Ceddanne Rafaela exited today with quad tightness," The Boston Globe's Tim Healey reported after speaking with Tracy. "He tried to keep playing, but in a blowout, the Red Sox decided it wasn't worth it."
Rafaela finished 1-for-3 before Eli White replaced him in center field. The fact that Rafaela attempted to remain in the game suggests Boston is not immediately anticipating an extended absence. He should still be considered day to day entering Thursday's series opener against the Baltimore Orioles.
Boston has already been forced to navigate several physical issues during a critical portion of its schedule. Willson Contreras recently landed on the injured list with a hamstring injury. Adley Rutschman has been dealing with a hyperextended right elbow, while Garrett Crochet is still working toward a return from his lat and shoulder issue.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have had plenty of heroes over their past two runs to World Series championships, yet the most unlikely has to be right-hander Will Klein.
During Game 3 of the 2025 Fall Classic, Klein came in and delivered four scoreless innings, allowing Los Angeles to walk it off in the bottom of the 18th inning.
That earned Klein a spot on the active roster heading into the 2026 season, and in the first half he was one of the best arms in the bullpen.
However, after the All-Star break Klein struggled mightily, allowing nine runs across 4 1/3 innings of work and raising his season ERA to 3.67. Shortly after, Los Angeles placed him on the 15-day injured list on August 1 due to right elbow discomfort and loose bodies.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Eric Lauer went on the injured list with left elbow inflammation Wednesday.
The left-hander gave up seven runs and eight hits in three innings of a 13-8 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. He is 7-2 with a 4.50 ERA in 14 games, including 12 starts.
"I felt good warming up, felt good in the bullpen and then got out there and kind of just lost it," Lauer said after the loss, not mentioning a possible injury. "I think I might have been tinkering a little too much in between. I don't think that there's something glaringly wrong."
The Dodgers acquired Lauer on May 17 from Toronto in exchange for cash. He was 1-5 with a 6.69 ERA in eight games for the Blue Jays. Last season, Lauer was 9-2 with a 3.18 ERA.
To make room on the 40-man roster, relief pitcher Will Klein was added to the 60-day IL.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are bringing back Blake Treinen from the injured list after battling shoulder fatigue that kept him out for a month.
In a corresponding move, the Dodgers are moving Will Klein to the 60-Day Injured List and putting lefty Eric Lauer on the IL with left elbow inflammation.
Treinen has been diligently nursing himself back to health after taking time off to stop throwing and then ramping up slowly, including rehab appearances in the minors and live batting practice.
Now, gets the chance to return in time for a possible postseason impression after a decent run during the regular season thus far.

The St. Louis Cardinals did not forget to ship their bats to Dodger Stadium as they began their west coast trip Tuesday night. I know this because the sound of Cardinals bats hitting **** was everywhere in Los Angeles as they hammered the Dodgers mercilessly, but LA didn't roll over and just let the Cardinals walk off with the game either.
The Cardinals offense announced its presence in the top of the 2nd inning when Ramón Urías and Thomas Saggese hit back-to-back homers to give St. Louis an early 2-0 lead.
The top of the 3rd inning was even more fun for the Cardinals. José Fermín led off with a single to left and then stole second base. He scored the Cardinals third run when Ivan Herrera singled to center making it 3-0 St. Louis. Jordan Walker then singled giving the Cardinals runners at first and second with **** ody out. After Alec Burleson flied out to left, Joshua Baez was barely grazed on his elbow guard by a pitch which loaded the bases for Leo Bernal making his Major League debut Tuesday night. He showed everyone why he's now in the big league lineup as he lined a solid two-run RBI single to left-center scoring both Walker and Herrera and giving the Cardinals an impressive 5-0 lead.
Thomas Saggese followed that with a sacrifice fly to left scoring Baez making it 6-0 Cardinals and they weren't done yet. When Nathan Church reached on an infield single, a hustling Bernal scored before Urias was tagged out at third which gave St. Louis a commanding 7-0 lead.
The Dodgers reminded the Cardinals their work wasn't done in the bottom of the 3rd inning when they scored 3 runs on a play that St. Louis blundered. With the bases loaded, Mookie Betts lifted what looked like an inning-ending pop-out to right, but Jose Fermin and Jordan Walker nearly collided trying to catch it as the ball bounced away from them scoring all runners cutting into the Cardinals lead at 7-3 after 3 innings.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Shane Bieber's homecoming at Progressive Field gave him all the warm and fuzzy feelings he had hoped. It was perfect — except for one thing.
He didn't get to pitch.
"I was definitely looking forward to that," Bieber said Tuesday. "But it will happen. I trust it will happen at the right time."
Bieber, who won the AL Cy Young while pitching for Cleveland in 2020, made his first trip back to face the Guardians since the club traded him to Toronto last season. The 31-year-old said it felt "odd" walking up the steps into the visitor's dugout and he was certain that watching the game from the other side would be different.
But Bieber, who's currently on the injured list with an elbow issue, was savoring the chance to catch up with former teammates, coaches and others. He spent nearly an hour on the field holding court behind the batting cage, sharing hugs, laughs and long embraces with friends he considers family.

As a fighting legend of MMA, Darren Till has no issues with UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier. As a UFC commentator, however, is a different story.
Cormier came to the defense of Usman Nurmagomedov, who jumped into the octagon immediately after his brother, Umar Nurmagomedov, suffered a knockout loss to Song Yadong this past Saturday in the UFC Shanghai main event. Usman's reaction to the finish weren't well received overall, with critics saying he had no business being in the cage and pointing out that Usman appeared to hold back from throwing an elbow at Song while he celebrated his win.
Cormier, who was closely tied to Team Nurmagomedov at American Kickboxing Academy during his career, saw things differently as he came to Usman's defense. Cormier said he was inclined to give Usman "grace" since Umar is his brother and called out critics for their "conspiracy theories" about the apparent held-back elbow strike.
That doesn't sit with Till, who made that very clear in an X post on Tuesday.
"Why is DC always on the defensive of the Nurmagemadovs?" Till wrote. He added, "I am going to be honest as much as I think you are one of the best fighters ever in the UFC, The way you are as a company man and the views are f*cking sh*t. Stop commentating and go and be an ambassador for fat camp you f*cking potato man constantly finding excuses for that side."

The Atlanta Braves are making moves as September roster expansions approach. Atlanta has added right-handed relief pitcher Blake Burkhalter and veteran infielder Kyle Farmer to the active roster ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals.
Burkhalter earns his long-awaited big-league debut after a stellar minor-league season. The 25-year-old has posted a 1.26 ERA with 46 strikeouts and a 1.12 WHIP across 35 2/3 innings in 26 appearances in relief this year.
MORE: Braves finally demote struggling hitter after Brewers series
Farmer is a nine-year big-league veteran who has already spent time with Atlanta earlier this season and brings bench depth. Across 15 games he has posted a .267 batting average, .250 on-base percentage and .583 OPS.
To clear a 40-man roster spot, the Braves transferred right-hander Robert Suarez to the 60-day injured list as he continues working back from right elbow inflammation. The move is procedural and keeps Suarez on the roster without requiring a waiver designation. His placement was backdated to when he first suffered the injury in June. When healthy this season, Suarez was outstanding, posting a 0.56 ERA with 26 strikeouts and four saves across 32 innings.

San Diego Padres third baseman Luis Rengifo, who began the year with the Milwaukee Brewers, suffered a season-ending injury on a strange play in his team's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, one of two former Brewers with serious injuries.
Confirmation came Monday that Rengifo had suffered an ACL and MCL tear on this play in the seventh inning of the Aug. 29 game, when Rengifo tried to throw home during a chaotic sequence and fell in a heap. The play allowed the Rays to score two additional runs and tie the score at 6-6, a game Tampa Bay went on to win, 7-6.
Rengifo had to be carted from the field. It's a brutal ending for a player who had turned his season around, improving from a .534 OPS with the Brewers in 57 games to a .784 mark in 38 games. That included a grand slam against his old team, the Brewers, earlier in August during a Padres sweep.
The Padres have lost five of six games and are a ½ game behind Arizona for the last National League wild-card spot heading into the week.
Meanwhile, former Brewers shortstop Willy Adames may also be done for the year with the San Francisco Giants. He has a left elbow strain that required a platelet-rich plasma injection, putting the rest of his season in doubt.

Usman Nurmagomedov is never going to apologize for caring about his brother's well-being, but that doesn't mean he was trying to attack his opponent at UFC Shanghai.
Song Yadong scored the biggest win of his career on Saturday when he blasted Umar Nurmagomedov with a perfectly timed uppercut that sent the Russian crashing to the canvas to end the fight. Immediately after the fight was stopped, Usman jumped into the cage to check on his brother and Song ended up colliding with him as he ran around the cage to celebrate his victory.
The brief physical altercation led many to speculate that Usman actually tried hitting Song with an elbow strike after running into each other, but the reigning PFL lightweight champion was quick to deny that allegation while addressing the incident on social media.
"People are making such a huge tragedy out of this, they should just calm down," Nurmagomedov wrote on Instagram (Russian-to-English translation via Red Corner MMA). "There are things far worse. You don't have to think for long, just look at what is happening in the world.
"And regarding the claims that I supposedly wanted to hit his opponent, if I had wanted to, I would have hit him."

The dream of seeing Spencer Schwellenbach on the mound this season is officially over. The Braves announced Friday that the young starter will undergo surgery to repair a fractured right elbow. This procedure inserts a screw to stabilize the joint, a move the team and player tried hard to avoid for months. Per MLB.com Braves, Schwellenbach was "barely able to feel his arm" during a recent bullpen session in Florida, leaving the team with no other choice.
Schwellenbach knew this day might come, even as he fought to heal naturally. Last year, during a June 28 start versus the Phillies, he fractured his bone and expected it to heal naturally. "When you fracture your bone, the hopes are that it heals itself over six to eight weeks," Schwellenbach said. The team gave him that initial time, then another three months, but the pain kept returning. Now, the 26-year-old has accepted the reality of the operation.
Rehab was a frustrating cycle of small gains followed by painful stops. Schwellenbach removed bone spurs this past winter and felt encouraged when his fastball hit 94 mph recently. Yet, he could never clear the final hurdle of discomfort. "It was almost like every time I'd get to the finish line, I couldn't get over the top," Schwellenbach said. This pattern forced the decision to finally fix the fracture surgically.
The timeline for his return is now set for the distant future. While some hope existed for a July or August comeback, those chances vanished with this setback. The surgery marks the end of his 2026 campaign, joining Hurston Waldrep, who is also undergoing elbow surgery. Both pitchers are out for the year, a blow to a rotation that needed depth.
Despite the bad news, Braves manager Walt Weiss sees a path forward. He noted that Schwellenbach has youth and elite ability working in his favor. "It's going to be a long haul, but he's got youth on his side and he's got talent on his side," Weiss said. The manager remains optimistic, though he admits there are no guarantees for a full recovery to his pre-injury form.

Although Ella Beatty made her screen debut just a couple years ago in 2024's "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans," it didn't take long for her to dominate the red carpet. As the daughter of "Dutton Ranch" star Annette Bening, Ella Beatty grew up to be gorgeous. But Bening can't take all the credit. Not only does Ella call Bening mom, but her father is Warren Beatty, therefore making Ella officially the daughter of Hollywood royalty. This means that acting is in her blood, and so is knowing how to slay on the red carpet. After all, even before Ella started her own career as a stage and screen actor, she was accompanying her parents to awards ceremonies as young as the age of 4.
While it can take some people a long time to find their footing on the red carpet, for example even fellow nepo baby Dakota Johnson has had quite a few inappropriate outfits, that hasn't been the case with Ella. Whether it's a fashion stylist pulling the strings behind the scenes, her phenomenal genetics, or a deep understanding of what looks good on her and what doesn't, Ella knows what she's doing. Because of this, she's becoming a red-carpet superstar.

When Ella Beatty attended the 78th Annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in June 2025 she leaned into Old Hollywood glamour, and we love that for her. Her black gown consisted of a tiered waist and a halter-style neck, an outfit she completed with black satin elbow-length opera gloves and a few rings and bracelets. From head to toe, Beatty wore Chanel and stunned, to say the very least. In addition to keeping her makeup on the more minimal side, she completed her look with waves in her long cascading locks.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell put together another strong start on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers. The 33-year-old veteran completed five innings of work, allowing just one run and striking out 10 hitters.
Unfortunately, the Dodgers offense was nonexistent once again and they fell 2-1 with Tigers rookie Kevin McGonigle walking Los Angeles off in the ninth inning.

Snell has dominated since returning from a three-month absence after undergoing surgery on his right elbow, yet he did have a bit of a hiccup in the third inning, allowing the first three baserunners to reach and a run to cross.
He escaped the jam, but in the middle of doing so Snell motioned to both catcher Ben Rortvedt and the home plate umpire during an at-bat.

NEW YORK - Shut down by rookie lefty starter Jake Bennett and three Red Sox's relievers in a 6-0 opening Boston win Saturday, the Yankees must - in manager Aaron Boone's words - "turn the page in a hurry.''
In the nightcap of a day-night doubleheader, the Yankees have activated veteran lefty Max Fried (elbow bone bruise) off the injured list.
Fried hasn't pitched an MLB game since Aug. 13, and he's likely limited to about 65 pitches against the Red Sox, who will open with Alec Gamboa - one of five lefties in the Boston bullpen.
To make room for Fried on the active roster, the Yanks designated righty reliever Justin Topa for ******* ignment. Topa tossed a scoreless relief inning in Saturday's opener.
Also on Saturday, the Yankees signed lefty-hitting outfielder Jarred Kelenic and ******* igned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
