SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Francisco Giants are suspending payment to injured outfielder Harrison Bader after he aggravated his injured left foot during a scooter accident last weekend.
Bader has been out since late May dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. The team said the injury got worse following the accident early Sunday morning in San Francisco.
"Over the weekend, Harrison Bader was involved in an accident that has delayed Harrison's prior treatment timeline for plantar fasciitis and, unfortunately, his return to the field," Giants President of Baseball Operations Buster Posey said in a statement Friday. "We are still investigating the circumstances of the accident, but will be suspending payment to Harrison until he is able to resume performing services for the club."
Bader signed a two-year, $20.5 million contract with the Giants before this season that includes a $4.5 million base salary for this season. He is owed $1.42 million for the remainder of the season.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Bader was involved in a vehicle collision while riding his scooter around 2 a.m. Sunday morning in San Francisco's Marina District. He was taken to a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

Three head coaches and three defensive coordinators in three seasons means Stanford won't be taking a lot of continuity into its 2026 opener against visiting Hawaii on Aug. 29.
But the Cardinal players are taking a change-can-be-good approach as they prepare for their first game under head coach Tavita Pritchard and defensive coordinator Kris Richard (pronounced Ri-shard).
"Obviously, it's not always ideal, learning a new scheme every single year," redshirt senior linebacker Matt Rose said after practice Thursday morning, "but I try to look at the positives out of it. I've learned so much about football.
"Everyone has their scheme, but at the end of the day, football is football."
Junior cornerback Brandon Nicholson said, "I think every year - no matter what the case is - our group comes in determined. And we come in receptive to whoever is our defensive coordinator and we listen."

The father of a 10-year-old rescued from pounding surf off the California coast in a dramatic scene captured on video says he is beyond grateful to the teenage lifeguard who saved his son.
"He ran into that water despite those conditions that are deadly. You have 10 foot waves; you have riptides and currents coming in," Sumit Rai told The ****** ociated Press on Wednesday. "It is not safe for him to go into that water. So he's risking his own safety."
Rai's son Nathaniel was standing in shallow water when he lost his footing and was pulled into the ocean Saturday by powerful swells that suddenly came ashore at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz, about 60 miles (about 100 kilometers) down the coast from San Francisco. Rai, who was in his home city of Dallas, said he heard about what happened when he spoke to his kids on the phone that evening.
"My son told me that he drowned and my son told me that he went unconscious," he said. "He was very subdued, still in a state of shock."
By the next morning, Rai had watched the video of the rescue that has since caught the attention of President Donald Trump.

Is Micron (NASDAQ: MU) stock just a momentum stock now?
It kind of feels like it. After falling more than 25% over the past four trading days, shares of the semiconductor memory stock took off like a rocket this morning, surging 9.6% through 9:40 a.m. ET.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
The reason for this, says HSBC, is competing "narratives" about what's going on in artificial intelligence.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Friday that his $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund is "dead" while also continuing to defend it, further complicating his administration's negotiations with two Republican senators who are blocking his attorney general nominee in protest.
Trump told reporters at Camp David on Friday morning that administration officials had "agreed not to have a fund" that compensates his political allies, yet made clear that he disagrees with that decision.
The comments came hours after an early morning social media post in which Trump said people who had been prosecuted by the Justice Department — many of them for their involvement in the violent Jan. 6, 2001, attack on the Capitol — "are suffering still, many ruined, and I felt that they should be given compensation for what has been done to them."
Trump's reluctant declaration that the fund won't be created came as Republican Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, both members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, say they won't support Todd Blanche's nomination for attorney general until they see that promise in writing. They have been working for weeks with the White House and Blanche, who is now the acting attorney general, to produce a document to that effect, but both senators have said they aren't satisfied so far.
"The President made it clear today that the so-called Anti Weaponization Fund is still alive, which is exactly why we are attempting to formally end it," Tillis said after Trump's initial social media post.

Given the huge rally in S&P 500 stocks like Sandisk (SNDK) this year, it's no surprise semiconductor ETFs are thriving. But they're getting competition from oil ETFs.
Four of the top 10 actively traded nonleveraged ETFs this year are oil and energy related, says Morningstar Direct. That's exactly the same number of semiconductor ETFs that make the cut. In fact, $2-billion-in-assets United States Oil (USO) returned 74% this year, outperforming the 64% return of the top semiconductor ETF, First Trust Nasdaq Semiconductor (FTXL).
And shares of Marathon Petroleum (MPC) are up 90% this year. That outstrips the 2% gain by AI semiconductor juggernaut Nvidia (NVDA).
Unique trends are driving oil and semiconductor ETFs this year. And oil has gotten the upper hand in the past month.
"Oil's recent run is due to geopolitical risk premiums from Iran tensions and tech valuation digestion. Escalating war risks in the Middle East create immediate supply-shock fears, pushing oil commodity ETFs higher," said Todd Rosenbluth of TMX VettaFi. "Concurrently, heightened uncertainty triggers profit-taking in high-valuation growth ***** ets like chips, prompting a short-term rotation into traditional commodities."

Ram, Jeep, and Fiat parent company Stellantis (STLA) reported solid first-half results on Thursday morning, but only reaffirmed its prior guidance. Investors clearly wanted more from CEO Antonio Filosa's turnaround plan.
For the half, Stellantis reported revenue of 81.61 billion euros ($93.20 billion) vs. 80.71 billion euros per Bloomberg consensus, up 10% compared to last year. Stellantis posted adjusted earnings per share of 0.32 euros ($0.37) vs 0.35 euros expected, and adjusted operating income of 1.733 billion euros ($1.98 billion), more than triple the 540 million euros ($614 million) posted a year ago.
Stellantis confirmed its prior 2026 guidance, projecting net revenues to rise in the mid-single digits in 2026, with low-single-digit adjusted operating income margin. The company aims to return to positive industrial free cash flow by 2027.
The company said its net tariff headwind for the year is estimated at 1.0 billion to 1.2 billion euros ($1.14 billion-$1.37 billion), but Stellantis received an IEEPA refund of 400 million euros ($456.3 million) in the first half of the year.
Stellantis shares fell over 4% in premarket trade.

WESTFIELD – CJ Allen was excited to get onto the field for his first NFL training camp. Perhaps too excited.
Thursday of last week, the rookie second-round pick – and the Colts' top selection from April's draft – was getting in his own solo conditioning work, as he had for so much of the past six weeks after Indianapolis broke from mandatory mini-camp June 11. Toward the end of his workout, he felt a slight twinge in his calf, but rather than calling it a day and heading to get treatment from the team training staff, the former All-American from Georgia got back up for another rep.
That overeagerness, he told reporters Friday, is likely what landed Allen on the physically unable to perform list to kickoff his first NFL training camp on Wednesday. Lucky for him, though, the team's presumed MIKE linebacker – in essence, the quarterback of the defense – was cleared to return to the field Friday morning and made his way straight into the first-team defense reps against Daniel Jones' offense.
"It definitely felt good walking out with my cleats on and being able to walk out on the blue carpet with my teammates, the linebackers. That was great," Allen told reporters after his first training camp practice Friday. "Getting out there with the team, running around, it just felt great to get back to doing football.
"Here, it's just about the little things, like, 'Are you in the right gap? Or are you on step off your gap?' Because these linemen in the league are so fast, so one step will ruin your whole play."

LATROBE – Day Three of Pittsburgh Steelers training camp was unlike any Steelers practice I've covered in terms of its layout. It was an incredibly light day for the Steelers that featured players in caps and bucket hats rather than helmets as the team ran a walkthrough for the entire two hour practice.
The plays were ran at 50-60 percent speed, and it was a very energetic, laid back environment. So, with that as a prerequisite, there frankly wasn't much to take away from Day Three, but Joey Bray and I will both share the few takeaways we had from Friday morning's practice.
Germie Bernard took the field with the First-Team during practice, working largely from the slot while DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman were on the outside. Roman Wilson took some reps on the outside with the second team. This was by design, as head coach Mike McCarthy said ahead of practice that he would be looking to give Wilson some outside reps as to not pigeon hole him at one spot. – Jarrett Bailey
Throughout practice, Aaron Rodgers was under center a lot. This is something that Rodgers had stressed in his pre-training camp presser on Tuesday. He wants to be under center more this season and it looks like McCarthy is going to grant his wish and give him those opportunities this season. – Joey Bray
Mike McCarthy spent the majority of practice with the third and fourth teams coaching up Will Howard and Drew Allar. Howard is the guy McCarthy has arguably talked up the most this offseason, while Allar is the hand picked developmental quarterback. It's refreshing to see a head coach so involved with the development of his young quarterbacks. If anything, it shows that McCarthy is looking toward the future and wants to get every opportunity he can at these young guys. It would be much better for the Steelers long term if one of the guys on the roster ends up being their future franchise guy, and McCarthy knows that. Howard has much more to prove over the next few weeks of camp and preseason compared to Allar, but getting that increased one-on-one time with their new head coach is crucial. – Joey Bray

There were fans on hand for training camp practice for the first time. And they were treated to the direct sun side of the field. The players, on the other hand, see the direct sun every day, and the 95 degree morning heat that comes with it. That didn't stop them from putting some good looking product on the field, though.
Here are a few standouts from today.
He was absolutely dealing. Perfect passes perfectly placed all day, leading to some great catches that seemed near impossible for defenders to get to. This included dime ***** in the back left corner of the end zone to Brock Bowers and the back right corner to Tre Tucker. Then a tight fit ball to Jack Bech in the back of the end zone.
Two days in a row now Brock has been among the standouts. His first great catch came on a deep crossing route from right to left, leaving Isaiah Pola-Mao with no chance at it. Later Brock gave rookie Zeke Masses a welcome to the NFL moment, beating him on a corner route for a touchdown.
The first play Bech made was a nice block on a run out to the left. Then in red zone sessions, he beat Eric Stokes in the back of the end zone for the score.

Jul. 31—ROCHESTER — With two years remaining in her high school volleyball career, Laney Stellmaker has already decided on her next chapter.
The incoming junior setter for Century High School verbally committed to play Division I volleyball for Southern Illinois University Salukis in Carbondale, Ill, she recently announced on social media.
Once her recruitment opened on June 15, college coaches started reaching out to her. The first week was a whirlwind with Stellmaker averaging four phone calls per day. Her longest call, though, was with SIU.
"It was an hour long, and on the call, I could kind of feel that connection with the coaches," Stellmaker said. "And then I went to camps, obviously. And then after Southern Illinois' camp, I was talking to my dad, and I was like, 'This feels right. I think I want to go here,' and I already had an offer from them. I got it a week earlier, and so the next morning after camp, we made the decision to commit there."
All she needed was three and a half weeks to make her decision. Her campus visit sealed the deal.

Hundreds of fans stood silent at the third hole of Detroit Golf Club as the sun baked down on the morning's most-watched golfer.
Cameron Young stepped into the box, shuffled his legs four times and raised his driver into his trademark pause before bombing a ball down the fairway.
"It just sounds different coming from him," a spectator said.
After comparatively struggling through his first round, going 1-under on Thursday, Young dominated the second round of the 2026 Rocket Classic on Friday, July 31, at Detroit Golf Club.
He went 9-under for the day, tying the course record of 61 (the second golfer in as many days to do so), and finished at 10-under in a tie for first at the end of the morning session with Patrick Cantlay, who shot a 4-under in the second round.

After working on the practice fields at their Baptist Health Training Complex on Wednesday and Thursday, the Miami Dolphins were back out their Friday morning for their final training camp session of the week.
Miami will be off on Saturday before returning to action on Sunday, with fans in attendance. However, before we get there, let's talk about everything that happened at Day 3 of Dolphins training camp, according to the beat writers on the scene.
The Dolphins had perfect attendance on Friday again, as their only absences were wide receiver Chris Bell (NFI) and cornerbacks Darrell Baker Jr. (PUP) and Storm Duck (PUP), per the South Florida Sun-Sentinel's David Furones.
After the offense struggled on Day 2, they bounced back a bit on Friday. Multiple reporters noted that rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas made multiple impressive plays, including a one-handed grab for a touchdown. That may be very important, especially with Tutu Atwell's hands popping up as an issue on Thursday.
Speaking of problems catching the ball, rookie tight end Will Kacmarek had a ball bounce of his hands into the arms of a waiting defender, according to the Palm Beach Post's Joe Schad. This has been an issue for a few players early on.

A search resumed Thursday, July 30, for a 10-year-old girl who remains missing after she and two other children, including a now-deceased 10-year-old boy, entered the Passaic River in northern New Jersey.
The boy's body was recovered around 10 p.m. on Wednesday, July 29, several hours after emergency crews were called to the river near Pulaski Park and Dundee Island Park in Passaic, according to Passaic Mayor Hector Lora. Authorities continued searching overnight and planned to resume water operations Thursday morning if conditions required crews to pause overnight efforts.
An 11-year-old girl made it safely out of the river, the New Jersey Bergen Record, part of the USA TODAY Network, reported. According to her account, her 10-year-old brother may have saved her life by pushing her toward safety before he went under the water, CBS News reported.
Investigators are still working to determine how the three children ended up in the river. Lora said officials' priority remains locating the missing girl and supporting the children's families.
The body of the 10-year-old boy was found about 30 feet from where the children entered the river, officials said. As crews continued searching for the missing girl, the operation shifted from a rescue mission to a recovery effort.

The Bills announced a pair of roster moves on Friday morning.
They have signed cornerback D.J. Miller to their active roster. Safety Wande Owens was waived in a corresponding move.
Miller was undrafted in 2024 and spent time with the Lions and Chiefs before moving on to the UFL the last two seasons. He played for Columbus in 2026 and had 24 tackles, a tackle for loss and three interceptions. He also had two interceptions for Michigan during the 2025 season.
Owens was waived with an injury by the Bills ahead of the 2025 season and returned to the team this year.

Owens was waived with an injury by the Bills ahead of the 2025 season and returned to the team this year.

CBS Sports placed Tony Romo on leave Friday morning, "until further notice," in its first public statement since his OWI arrest in Milwaukee last week
"Tony Romo is on leave from his role at CBS Sports until further notice," the network said in a statement.
Awful Announcing has learned that JJ Watt will join Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson as the network's lead NFL broadcast team during Romo's absence, with CBS set to release the rest of its NFL on CBS roster at a later date.
Boomer Esiason told his radio audience barely a day earlier that he didn't expect CBS to comment on the situation at all, a read that lined up with how the network had handled things all week. The Daily Mail had reported days earlier that CBS executives had already closed ranks around Romo, with one source telling the outlet, "I don't want to act like it's not a big deal, because it is. But it's not going to get him fired." A second characterized the arrest as a "lapse in judgment" rather than anything approaching a fireable offense, noting Romo had reached out to his bosses almost the moment it happened.
Romo was pulled over on Interstate 43 in Milwaukee County on the night of July 23, hours after competing in the Wisconsin Amateur Championship, and taken into custody after performing poorly on standardized field sobriety tests. Body camera footage of the stop later surfaced on TMZ, including Romo's own reaction to the test results.

A health coach tested four fitness wearables to compare data on sleep, steps, and recovery.
Each brand had pros and cons, but one stood out as reliable and good value.
He said to be wary when wearables overwhelm you with data but don't help you change any habits.
Every morning for two weeks, health and performance coach Dan Go woke up and checked his fitness wearable. And then checked again. And again. And again.
Go, 46, was wearing four different devices at once, his latest self-experiment to find optimal strategies for health and fitness.

In the aftermath of the World Cup, despite the many issues that had plagued the tournament in the United States, Mexico and Canada, Gianni Infantino spoke in tones that suggested he felt invincible. By delivering record revenues and the "most outstanding" World Cup ever, the Fifa president felt emboldened enough to embark on a victory lap, admonishing his critics from within the stronghold of his Fifa palace, while safe in the knowledge that the structures and mechanisms designed to keep him in power were secure.
Barely a week later, the walls around Infantino are crumbling before our eyes. In over-playing his hand and rushing through proposals to sell stakes in the World Cup and Fifa tournaments to private investors, Infantino has crossed a line from where there may not return. Uefa's extraordinary decision to boycott the World Cup should Infantino get his way has been followed by two more federations, the Asian Football Confederation and Concacaf, rejecting his proposals. Uefa now has enough support to comfortably defeat Infantino if a vote of Fifa's 211 member **** ociations goes ahead next month.

Whether Infantino's plans, understood by The Independent to have been in the works for over a year, even survive for that long is another matter. Infantino is also under mounting pressure from within Fifa itself. The president's long-time adviser, Carlos Cordeiro, described as a heavyweight figure within the organisation, resigned in protest on Friday. "Football has been central to my life, and after more than 35 years in banking, I understand both the value of this **** et and the consequences of giving part of it away," he said in a statement. "That is why this proposal should be rejected." If even the Fifa suits have seen enough, it tells you that Infantino has gone too far.
In their own statement in the early hours of Friday morning, Fifa provided some "clarifications" around their private investment proposals, insisting that their "planned consultation process was disrupted by incorrect media reports". But it may not stop some of Infantino's steadfast allies from switching sides. Asia will host the 2034 World Cup in Saudi Arabia and parts of the region have benefitted greatly from Infantino's support since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, but the AFC's president, Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa of Bahrain, has been Infantino's most vocal critic outside of Europe. A withering statement on Friday accused Fifa of "undermining" the World Cup and called for an "urgent review" into its governance.

Speaking to parents at the conclusion of the day, Brentford Academy director David Rainford said: "The purpose of the day is to give you a genuine insight of what a day-in-the-life of your son's scholarship programme is.

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez will miss the start of the new season due to injury.
Gomez, 29, was forced off within 10 minutes of Liverpool's first friendly of pre-season against Sunderland after suffering a muscle issue.
Liverpool went on to win that game in Nashville 4-2 without their longest serving player, but manager Andoni Iraola nevertheless admitted that Gomez's setback was "probably the worst news" he could have been dealt on his managerial bow for the Reds.
Iraola has now confirmed Gomez will face a spell on the sidelines and while he does not yet know for how long, he says it will be "impossible" for the Englishman to make a return before Liverpool's Premier League opener against Newcastle on 23 August.
Speaking at a press conference in Chicago on Thursday morning, he said: "Joe has a muscle injury. I think it was quite clear since he complained straight away so it will depend how he evolves, but he will be some weeks off.

Scotland's Melanie Woods has won the Commonwealth Games women's 1500m T54 for the second time in under 40 hours after streaking to victory in the restaged final - however England's Ellis Kottas could not replicate her silver medal.
Woods set a new Games record to triumph in Glasgow on Wednesday evening, but it emerged on Thursday morning that Para-athletics authorities had decided the race should be held again following appeals surrounding a first-lap crash.
However, the Scot kept her composure in her home city to replicate her initial success, break the record again, and reclaim the gold that was already hers - in mind if not around her neck.
Kottas, though, finished fourth, having said she was "low-key traumatised" when the race result was overturned.
Woods led from the start in her home city, although Noemi Alphonse of Mauritius and Australia's Eliza Ault-Connell kept her honest over the first couple of laps.

Manchester's bees are ready to sting.
This Friday morning, Manchester City unveiled their new away kit. As last season, black is once again the color of choice for the Citizens, but with a small twist.
This year, yellow has been added to the shirt, as a reference to the bees of the city of Manchester. The insect also appears as an overlay on the black background of the kit.
It is supposed to "symbolize the work, unity and resilience that define the city of Manchester."
It is also worth noting that a specific lettering style for the kit has been revealed as well.
