The Philadelphia Phillies appear to have gotten what they hoped for when they acquired Brandon Marsh from the Los Angeles Angels several years ago. The outfielder has developed into an important part of Philadelphia's lineup this season, reaching his first All-Star game as he provides some important batting order depth behind Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and Luis Arraez.
Meanwhile, the players who the Angels received in exchange for him, once seen as a key piece of the Phillies' future, has struggled to meet expectations.

Marsh's emergence has made the 2022 trade one that's continuously revisited in Philadelphia, particularly as former top catching prospect Logan O'Hoppe endures a difficult career path since leaving the organization.

Ireland's Kate O'Connor is in pole position for heptathlon gold with one event remaining at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham, but Great Britain's Katarina Johnson-Thompson finds herself out of contention.
Newry-born O'Connor entered Saturday morning in third place after four events on Friday, 42 points behind overnight leader Adrianna Sulek-Schubert, but her personal best form continued in the long jump with an initial effort of 6.55m.
The 25-year-old Commonwealth Games' gold medallist followed up with 50.16 in the javelin to take her overall total to 5812 points, 51 ahead of Netherlands' Emma Oosterwegel [5761] with another Dutch athlete, Sofie Dokter [5741] in third.
Poland's Sulek-Schubert dropped to seventh after a disappointment start to Saturday.
Johnson-Thompson's struggles continued following an injury-hit build-up.

Ireland's Kate O'Connor had "mixed emotions" after day one of the women's heptathlon at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham.
The 25-year-old Commonwealth Games gold medallist trailed leader Adrianna Sulek-Schubert by one point after the morning session that saw her record a personal best in the 100m hurdles and equal her PB in the high jump, but dropped to third after the evening events.
A 10th-place finish saw O'Connor drop back, but a third PB of the day in the 200m saw her narrow the gap to 42 points on Poland's Sulek-Schubert on 3968 points with Sofie Dokter of the Netherlands now in second, 24 points behind the leader.
The heptathlon continues on Saturday morning with the long jump and javelin, while the event concludes in the evening with the 800m.
"This is really stiff competition and I let myself down again in the shot put, so I had to put my head down and work really hard out there [in the 200m]," Newry-born O'Connor told BBC Sport after the 200m.

CWG 2026: Former Sri Lanka fast bowler Rumesh Pathirage stuns IND-PAK duo Neeraj Chopra and Arshad Nadeem to win javelin gold originally appeared on Cricket News. Add Cricket News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage wins Sri Lanka's first-ever Commonwealth Games javelin gold medal.
Former fast bowler beats Neeraj Chopra; Yashvir Singh takes bronze medal.
Arshad Nadeem finishes ninth as anticipated India-Pakistan showdown fails to materialise.
A former medium pacer turned javelin thrower has written his name into history, as Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage delivered Sri Lanka's maiden Commonwealth Games gold in the men's javelin throw by overcoming a heavyweight field at Scotstoun Stadium in Glasgow on Friday, July 31.

Pakistan-India javelin rivalry returns to the global stage on Friday as reigning champion Arshad Nadeem looks to defend his Commonwealth Games **** le against a stacked field led by Sri Lanka's rising javelin phenom and world lead Rumesh Pathirage.
Pathirage leads the charge after an 82.84-metre (271-foot) throw in the qualifying round on Thursday, followed by 2022 silver medallist Anderson Peters of Grenada with an 81.29-metre (267ft) throw on his second attempt, and South Africa's Douw Smit with 80.84 metres (265ft).
Friday's final will be an epic showdown between veterans who have topped the podium in previous iterations and up-and-coming hopefuls looking for global glory after becoming national champions. Five of the top seven finishers at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games will be competing in the final.
It seems to be a changing of the guard on the South Asian front after Pathirage dominated this season with back-to-back wins. His monstrous 92.62-metre (304ft) throw at the Rome Diamond League in May would be enough to smash the Commonwealth Games record of 90.18m set by Nadeem in 2022.
Nadeem and his long-time rival from India, Neeraj Chopra, on the other hand, have only competed once ahead of the Games in Edinburgh after injury kept both away from competitions this season.

Northern Ireland's Kate O'Connor is three events away from a first Commonwealth Games gold medal as she leads the heptathlon after the opening four events in Glasgow.
In the absence of Katarina Johnson-Thompson, England's Jade O'Dowda is in second place, 55 points down on O'Connor, as rain hammered Scotstoun Stadium for the evening session.
Australia's Mia Scerri is a distant third but England's Niamh Emerson is in medal contention in fourth place.
The heptathlon concludes on Wednesday with the long jump, javelin and 800m.
O'Connor finished second in Birmingham in 2022 behind Johnson-Thompson, who pulled out of the Commonwealths on the eve of the Games, but is now in a strong position heading into the second day of competition.

Jacksonville's Garrett Scantling captured the decathlon at the USA Track & Field Toyota Outdoor Championships, returning to the top of the grueling 10-event test of all-around athletic prowess for the first time in four years.
Scantling, a graduate of Episcopal High School (now Episcopal School of Jacksonville), recorded 8,526 total points over two days of competition at Icahn Stadium in New York.
He finished 95 clear of runner-up Kyle Garland, the world bronze medalist in 2025. Hakim McMorris came in third, 214 behind Scantling.
Consistency made the difference for Scantling, who placed sixth or higher in the first nine events, including first-place finishes in the long jump, shot put, 110-meter hurdles and javelin throw. Despite losing some ground in the final laps of the deciding 1,500-meter run, traditionally his weakest event, Scantling still found enough in the tank to run a ninth-place 4:43.78 and preserve his overall position atop the standings.
The July 24 triumph for Scantling, now 33, marks a milestone in his comeback to the sport.

There's no stopping the Clatsop County Special Olympic athletes. Brittney Clarke and Jacob McCarr competed in three different events at the 2026 USA Games in Minneapolis. Clarke won gold in the 400-meter walk and also medaled in the 4 x 100-meter relay and mini javelin. McCarr placed fifth in the shot put, was a member of the second-place co-ed 4 x 100 relay team and competed in the 100-yard dash. After Clarke and McCarr brought home medals, Clarke and the rest of the athletes in Clatsop County Special Olympics are set to go on the road and compete this weekend.
The 2026 Oregon Summer Games are slated for July 10 through the 12, and are slated to take place at Oregon State University in Corvallis. Twenty Clatsop County Special Olympics athletes are set to compete in two sports: track and field and bocce ball.
Clarke will lead a list of 12 total track and field athletes. She will be joined by Alex Cary, Joey Bailey, Nicholas Bailey, Blake Chick, Mathias Costello, Marie Kajula, Jack Kain, Jonathan Lempea, Beau Routh, Cheyenne Valunzuela, Megan Wilson and coaches Bill and Karen Lempea. There will also be seven community members going as volunteers, including: Phil and Julie Chick, Michael and Danielle Cary, Clatsop County Special Olympics Program Director David McAloney, Susan Hiebert and Tracie Hunter.
Bocce is one of the newer sports added to the Special Olympics calendar this year and Clatsop County has a total of eight athletes participating this weekend: Brandi Higgins, Angelica Lizarraga, Ben Johnson, David Killion, Jesse Banks, Jerry Allen, Jackie Bleech and Nikki Fletcher. Coaches Patty Kain and Brenda Higgins will also travel with the athletes.
The Italian based game has slowly been gaining popularity in America after getting its start in Italy and other European countries. The lawn game is similar to bowling where teams roll large ******* to try and get them as close as possible to a smaller target called a pallino. It can be played on either grass, sand or a dedicated hardcourt. Italian General Giuseppe Garibaldi popularized the game in Italy during the late 19th century and it has since become an Olympic sport.

Two Volusia County athletes are making the journey to the Pacific Northwest to participate in USA Track and Field’s Under-20 Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon, beginning on June 18.
Former DeLand pole vaulter and current Florida International freshman Kylie Neira and recent New Smyrna Beach graduate Brison Sullivan will compete in the event to potentially earn spots in the U20 World Championships in August.
Neira graduated in 2025 as Volusia County’s only pole vault state champion since the turn of the millennium, doing so twice in Class 4A. She’s already made history at FIU with a 4.22-meter vault that set the Panthers’ freshman record and was the third-highest in program history.
Sullivan will begin the first part of his summer break competing in the javelin after finishing high school. Sullivan won the Class 3A javelin championship with an FHSAA-record throw of 65.21 meters, placing him ninth in the United States among high schoolers.
Neira and Sullivan will compete simultaneously at 3 p.m. Eastern on the meet’s opening day.

The 2025-26 LSU athletics season closes at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, and the Tigers are looking to finish the season strong. From June 10-13, the men’s and women’s track teams will look to rack up enough points to claim a national championship for LSU. The men will compete on Wednesday and Friday, and the women will compete on Thursday and Saturday. The LSU men are looking for their sixth outdoor ****** le and first since 2021, while the women are looking for a record-extending 15th non-vacated ****** le and first since 2008. These will be broadcast across ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN+.
For those unfamiliar, the track and field championship is determined by a combined points system. Teams do not qualify as combined units. Instead, individual competitors and relay squads from each team qualify out of regionals. Each person or squad is fighting to win a national championship for themselves and points for their team. The national champions score 10 points, the runners-up score 8, and third-eighth score 6-1 points in descending order. It’s possible to score multiple points on one event, and that’s the best chance for LSU to rack up points.
To clear up broadcast info, all field events will be broadcast on ESPN+. On Wednesday, all of LSU’s track events except the 4x400m semifinals will be broadcast on ESPN. The rest of the championship will be broadcast on ESPN2 for both the men and the women. To save ****** e, here is a link to the full schedule of all four days. Add two hours to each time listed since those times are in Pacific.
The men have 11 points-scoring opportunities. At 7:05, the #12 seed 4x100m relay team of Jeremiah Walker, Jaiden Reid, Shakeem McKay, Joshua Caleb and alternate Jordan Turner will run their semifinal race. An hour later, #13 seed Matthew Sophia will run in the second heat of the 110m hurdles. Before LSU’s next runner steps on the track, the javelin finals start about a half hour after Sophia runs. #13 Jack Larriviere will be throwing in the second flight. All field finals are split into two sections. Field athletes have to be in the top nine at the cut-off to advance to the points-scoring round.
During the javelin finals, #10 Jaiden Reid will run in the third heat of the 100m dash. The long jump finals begin around the same time as the 400m heats, and #7 Jordan Turner will be jumping in flight two. LSU has a runner in all three 400m heats. #12 Malachi Austin will run first, then #11 Grant Buckmiller, and then finally #14 Amal Glasgow. About an hour later, the 200m heats start, and #2 Jaiden Reid will be in heat three.

Jasper’s Crystal Smith closes decorated career with two gold medals including fourth 100-meter hurdle ******* le. Her other gold medal came in the javelin, which is an event she picked up two months ago.
