D-backs kick off 'moving month' with big night at the plate
"It's my favorite month of baseball," Lovullo said. "I think the season starts to take shape. The contenders and pretenders start to separate. So I think the real teams, and the ones that are capable of carrying on for the next two months, start to separate themselves, and it's the purest form of baseball. I started saying it back when September callups were 40-strong, and I know the rules have changed a little bit and September baseball is more like regular-season baseball now, but that's when I started saying it. August is just the best month, and heads up, big things start to happen."

Jeff Passan of ESPN announced at 11:31 p.m. ET that the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Detroit Tigers were finalizing a trade for two-time AL Cy Young award winner, Tarik Skubal. The Tigers ace is bound for free agency at season's end, and with the Tigers still a few games and numerous teams away from a playoff spot, Scott Harris and Jeff Greenberg decided it was time to cash in their ace for prospects. The deal has not been confirmed by either team as of this writing.
In return the Tigers will receive a very good outfield prospect in 21-year-old left-handed hitter Zyhir Hope, triple digit right-handed pitcher River Ryan, and a fairly good right-handed pitching prospect in 21-year-old Brady Smith. Hope is a top 100 prospect who generally draws 55 FV grades, while Ryan was once a top shelf starting pitching prospect with great stuff, but had Tommy John surgery in August 2024, and while his stuff appears fully intact, and it is excellent power stuff, he's dealt with some minor injuries this season.
The Dodgers are acquiring Tarik Skubal from the Tigers in exchange for OF Zyhir Hope (LAD No. 6), RHP River Ryan (LAD No. 9) and RHP Brady Smith (LAD No. 27), per JeffPassan.

Hope ranks No. 55 in our Top 100.

Dodgers Top 30: https://t.co/JdyoYPsd9Y pic.twitter.com/rgqO2CHl1O
The Tigers don't really seem interested in pulling the plug on the 2026 season, and were expected to get a major league ready starter as part of the return for Skubal. That didn't happen exactly, but on June 28, Ryan suffered his second hamstring injury of the season. He's expected to return sometime in August or early September, but those injuries are often tricky, so we'll see.
We'll also have to see if the Tigers have more deals in mind or not. Either way, this is a good return for Tarik Skubal. Hope and Ryan are both very talented, and Smith's stock has been rising rapidly this season. The Tigers farm system gets a pretty major upgrade here after graduating Kevin McGonigle and Max Clark this season.

After exiting Friday's training camp practice to be evaluated for injury, presumed starting defensive tackle Alim McNeill has reportedly gotten good news.
According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, McNeill is believed to be okay after exiting Friday's training camp practice. The Lions were evaluating McNeill for a neck injury.
McNeill, 26, is expected to be one of the Lions' starting defensive tackles, and the hope is that the 6-foot-2, 310-pound defensive lineman can get back to his 2024 form. McNeill had totaled 25 tackles, seven tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks before suffering a torn ACL in his right knee in December of 2024.
Sources: #lions DT Alim McNeill (neck) is believed to be okay after leaving practice early on Friday.

HC Dan Campbell told reporters: “He’s a huge piece for us on defense.” https://t.co/Fjkcq2F9uY pic.twitter.com/yQhQC9xuEt
McNeill would return last season in Week 7 versus Tampa Bay. The 2021 third-round pick admitted that he finally felt like himself again this past June during OTAs.

The Indiana Fever stretched their winning streak to five games with a 112-98 victory over the Portland Fire on Friday night. In the process, Caitlin Clark made more WNBA history, becoming the fastest player to record four career triple-doubles.
Clark finished with 26 points, 10 ******* ists and 10 rebounds in the Friday night win to accomplish the feat.
The Hawkeye great needed only 78 games to reach this milestone, besting Sabrina Ionescu's mark of 89 games. Clark is also now tied with Sabrina Ionescu for the third most triple-doubles in WNBA history, trailing only Dallas Wings forward Jessica Shepard (five) and Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas (20).

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Boston Red Sox All-Star Willson Contreras left the game after being hit on the side of his helmet by a pitch in the third inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.
Contreras was struck by a 95-mph fastball from reliever Will Klein. The first baseman was checked on by the medical staff before taking first base. He had already hit the dirt after Klein's first pitch of the at-bat.
Contreras left the game for precautionary reasons after the Red Sox finished batting.

The disrespect for the reigning Super Bowl LX champions Seattle Seahawks continues to grow. At this point, the growth is a daily feature. I'm talking specifically about the disrespect leveled at the Seahawks by the popular Madden video game franchise.
In the latest edition of the game, Madden 27, the team at EA Sports have been releasing their top 10 rankings for various positions, units and even teams. Seattle's elite defense was mightily disrespected earlier in the week, as Madden 27 had them as only the 10th best unit in the game. Out of the position rankings (defensive tackle, edge, linebacker, cornerback and safety) only one Seahawk - Devon Witherspoon - cracked the top 10 in any of those lists. Players like Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy II, Ernest Jones IV, Julian Love and Nick Emmanwori were nowhere to be seen.
Now, the disrespect continues to an equally insulting degree. On Friday, Madden 27 released their top 10 rankings for teams overall. Yes, Seattle did make the cut... but only barely. According to Madden 27, the Seahawks are only the 10th best team in the game. As for those ahead of them, well, just take a look for yourselves.
The Seahawks obliterated the 49ers in the Divisional Round, outlasted the Rams in the NFCCG (one missed field goal from going 3-0 against them last year) and humiliated the Patriots in Super Bowl LX.

Madden had put Seattle below all three. https://t.co/iQqX3umMZ3
Aside from the three teams I have listed in the tweet above (all with good reasons I laid out, of course) the other two insulting placements come in the form of the Detroit Lions and the Baltimore Ravens. The No. 3 and No. 4 ranked teams, really? Detroit finished 9-8 last season and weren't particularly good at anything, at least when compared to the Seahawks of course. As for the Ravens, they were 8-9 and missed the playoffs like the Lions did as well. I know Baltimore had injuries they dealt with, but they always have injuries! Not to mention they will be rolling with a first year head coach in 2026.

When Modi Oyewole first tried golf in 2023, he did not plan to start a business. As vice president of creative at Def Jam Recordings, he sought a meaningful pursuit beyond corporate entertainment, according to Inc.
https://www.instagram.com/...
His viewpoint changed after attending a Hypegolf Invitational hosted by Hypebeast. Seeing the combination of streetwear culture with golf, Oyewole recognized the sport's ability to foster community instead of exclusivity.
This insight led to the founding of Swang, a Los Angeles-based golf collective co-founded by Oyewole and Josh Hubberman, a creative strategist at Cthdrl. What began as an informal group of 15 at a local driving range has grown rapidly to more than 1,200 active members and hosted over 50 events in its first year. The group's biweekly gatherings regularly attract hundreds, showing Swang's momentum and ability to bring new faces into the golf community. By focusing on making golf more open and culturally connected, Swang has attracted substantial corporate support.
Golf participation has reached record highs in recent years, according to the National Golf Foundation. However, Oyewole and Hubberman saw Swang's main opportunity in broadening the sense of welcome on the course.

The Houston Texans are expecting a massive jump from second-year wide receiver Jayden Higgins as they prepare to make their deepest run in the playoffs in the DeMeco Ryans era.
They'll need to see growth, especially with second-year standout Jaylin Noel on the NFI list with a finger issue and Tank Dell still working his way back from injury.
It's early in training camp, so expectations are low, but takeaways are high. As the team prepares for their first indoor practice, Higgins has been the best offensive weapon, turning heads through drills, especially in team reps as C.J. Stroud's second-best threat.
"You're seeing a guy who we're able to move around the formation a little bit more, get him inside the formation, "Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said. "He's making some plays everywhere we put him. On the first play of practice today, he ran a great route and C.J. gave him a great ball. It just shows his growth and shows a guy you can rely on."
DeMeco Ryans says Jayden Higgins will be THAT GUY opposite Nico Collins in year 2 (via Djbienaime)

Rookies, when they enter the NFL, are bound to spend some of their rookie contract on a variety of things. Most tend to buy things or help out family, others look for the car or house they have wanted. In the case of Minnesota Vikings first-round pick Caleb Banks, he spent some of his early rookie contract on something...different.
The Athletic's Alec Lewis shared on Wednesday that Banks, who is known for his unique collection of pets, had added another spider and three more snakes to his family of exotic pets. Earlier in the offseason, Banks shared he had already had two pythons, a chameleon, and a cane corso.
Ironically, the cane corso is the most tame pet in his family, considering it is a dog.
Caleb Banks said he bought another spider and three more snakes this offseason. We're back. https://t.co/diJht0wBfU
However, on the field, Banks has shown to be explosive early on and has overcome some early setbacks in the offseason program after being drafted. The former Florida Gator had suffered a broken foot in January so seeing him on the field is a sight to behold for the Vikings franchise.

Can the Boston Celtics compete with a Philadelphia 76ers that has LeBron James and Jaylen Brown? The Celtics Atlantic Division rival has taken Boston's second-best player in a trade likely motivated as much by the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) as it was by play style, and parlayed that into making their team a desirable landing spot for James in free agency.
With Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe already on the roster and on the cusp of becoming one of the better backcourts in the East if not the league, the addition of Brown likely locks up that status. There are still questions about the health of Joel Embiid and who will play the 4, but a lot of the worries in the frontcourt got boosted by LeBron coming to Philly this summer. Can Boston beat the squad their own choices helped spawn?

Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSX-V:GMG, OTCQX:GMGMF) MD and CEO Craig Nicol joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss a new distribution agreement with Blackwoods, giving GMG's G LUBRICANT and THERMAL-XR products access to thousands of industrial customers across Australia.
Nicol said Blackwoods' nationwide sales force and distribution network — spanning mining operators, freight businesses and manufacturers — represents a significant commercial step for the company. Customer demand is coming from two directions: some are seeking corrosion resistance and longer equipment life, while others are focused on energy savings. Data centres are a particularly promising market, where even modest efficiency gains translate into meaningful energy reductions. "Once they do try them, we find that they're very happy to repeat purchase," Nicol said.
The Blackwoods partnership is the first step in a broader international distribution strategy, with similar agreements being pursued in Europe and the United States. Production capacity is being expanded through the company's modular Gen2 technology to keep pace with growing demand.

It's official; training camp is here. The Washington Commanders will unofficially kick off preparations for the 2026 season on Wednesday, the first day of training camp. Rookies reported to Ashburn last Friday, while the rest of the team reported on Tuesday.
Before players hit the practice field on Wednesday, general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn met with the media to preview camp and discuss other topics surrounding the team. Last week, the Commanders made some moves, placing cornerback Trey Amos, edge rusher Dorance Armstrong and defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.
Peters was asked about Amos, who suffered a fractured fibula in Week 10 last season.
"Yeah, I think with Trey, he's doing really well," Peters said. "I think the first thing I'll say is he's been outstanding in his rehab and really, you know, taken all the things that the medical team has asked him to do and done really well. With him, just had a little soft tissue soreness in the offseason, so we wanted to just take it slow. So, he's actually doing really well right now. Just had a report on him earlier. He should be back soon as well. Just wanted to be overly cautious there, but he's doing great. He'll be back pretty soon."

The Boston Celtics have some big questions to answer next season. Which of them are the biggest in need of a resolution by the end of the 2026-27 NBA regular season? Several key questions heading into the coming campaign loom large for Boston President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens and the rest of the front office.
Is Neemias Queta ready to start for the Celtics? Is Mitchell Robinson going to stay healthy enough if Queta is not the starter? What can Boston get out of vet guard Mike Conley? Will rookies Chris Cenac Jr. and Dillon Mitchell be ready enough to play? Will the trio of wings Baylor Scheierman, Jordan Walsh, and Hugo Gonzalez take a real step forward to help make up for Jaylen Brown's exit? And will Paul George be healthy most of the season?
The hosts of the "Celtics Beat" podcast, Adam Kaufman and Evan Valenti, took some time to talk with Celtics ***** yst Dan Greenberg on a recent episode of their show about all of the above. Check it out below!

What does the Boston Celtics decision to extend reserve forward Jordan Walsh signal about their plans for the future? The Celtics elected to pick up the $2.4 million unguaranteed season left on the Arkansas alum's rookie contact for their looming 2026-27 campaign – and then extended for three more seasons on a potentially team-friendly deal.
The $15 million extension will pay Walsh $4.6 million for the 2027-28 NBA season, $5 million flat for 2028-29, and $5.3 million in the final year of the extension for the 2029-30 Celtics campaign. But this deal could hint at the Dallas, Texas native finishing this contract with a new ball club, and the folks behind the "Boston Celtics on MassLive" YouTube channel put together a clip to break down why this might be the case.

Veteran shooting guard Bradley Beal has been tied to the Boston Celtics as a potential landing spot this offseason. A childhood friend of star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, it is no secret that the St. Louis native would not be upset about a chance to play with his fellow Chaminade alum, and Boston does happen to have an open roster spot.
But the fit is not a great one from a stylistic point of view, nor from the age curve of a ball club with a lot of young wings needing run to develop. Add in the fact that the Celtics have almost no cap ***** e to work with while remaining below the tax, and you can see how this might not be the match made in heaven it could seem at first glance.

The Boston Celtics Jordan Walsh extension is an incredible value for the team.

While Walsh may not have found his way on the offensive end of the court, he is one of the Celtics best perimeter defenders. And the Arkansas alum has shown some signs of putting together when it comes to scoring. If he does, this deal could be among the best in the NBA. And if not, moving on would not be so hard to accomplish, especially if it

When fans of the Boston Celtics saw how the player their favorite team picked up at No. 40 overall in the 2026 NBA Draft shot the ball from beyond the arc (and if we are being honest, from the free throw line as well) in his final season at the NCAA level with St. John's, to say expectations for the Spring Hill, Florida native were low would be quite the understatement.
But Mitchell only needed to play a single game with the Sin City Celtics at the NBA's 2026 Las Vegas Summer League to start changing minds, and he finished his stint with the Summer Celtics having convinced a good number of those fans he has a bright future with his new team. Logging 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.3 ***** ists, 2.7 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting 37.5 from deep, they very well may have a point.

Should the Boston Celtics sign NBA veteran Bradley Beal? A longtime friend of star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, it could be a good way to curry favor with the St. Louis native after a tumultuous season that he began on the bench rehabbing an Achilles tendon injury -- and ended with Boston President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens trading away his partner on the wing of nearly a decade.
But the fit and future of Beal with the Celtics is also important, and with so many wing players who need playing time to grow their games coupled with the additions of vets Paul George and Mike Conley to the team this offseason hints that there may be a lot of reasons why it doesn't make sense for Beal to play for Boston this season.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota coach Niko Medved has received a one-year contract extension with a slight raise after a promising first season at his alma mater.
The university board of regents approved the contract amendment this week at its regular monthly meeting, giving Medved a $100,000 pay ***** p on top of the $100,000 annual increase in his initial six-year deal. Medved is now signed through the 2031-32 season and will make $3.2 million in 2026-27, which ranks 17th out of 18 head coaches in the Big Ten, according to university documents.
The Gophers went 15-18 overall and 8-12 in Big Ten play in Medved's first year, with a lineup depleted by injuries. The former student manager and ***** istant coach for the Gophers was hired last year after seven seasons at Colorado State. He's entering his 14th year as a head coach, including stops at Drake and Furman.

NASCAR is changing the way Cup Series practice will be conducted for the remainder of the 2026 season.
Beginning with next weekend’s race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Cup Series teams will participate in a single 50-minute practice session instead of the divided-group format used at most events this season. NASCAR announced the change Wednesday, saying the revised format will remain in place for all remaining races that are not already designated as superspeedway or extended-practice weekends.
The update comes just days before the Cup Series heads to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for this weekend’s Brickyard 400.
Under the new format, every entered Cup Series car will share one uninterrupted 50-minute practice session.
Previously, NASCAR typically split the field into separate groups, giving each group a shorter amount of track time. Beginning at Newhttps://www.motorbiscuit.c... Hampshire, that format will be replaced by one extended session featuring the entire field.

Second-year Boston Celtics forward Hugo Gonzalez has turned a lot of heads playing with the Sin City Celtics at the NBA's 2026 Las Vegas Summer League this offseason, taking on a higher-usage role that has him on the ball a lot more than he has with Boston in his rookie campaign.
The Madrid, Spain native put up 18.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.1 ****** ists, and 1.7 steals per game with the Summer Celtics this year in the league's annual offseason exhibition series. While there, he shot a slightly concerning 31.8 percent from the field overall and just 25.9 percent from beyond the arc (it being summer league this is not a huge red flag) along with a promising 80.0 percent from the free throw line.
