CINCINNATI (AP) — Home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez has left Monday's game between the San Diego Padres and Cincinnati Reds after becoming overheated.
Gonzalez went to the ground at the end of the fourth inning of a hot, humid night in which the temperature was near 90 at the start of the game. Gonzalez had to be helped by the Reds trainers with what the team said was heat exhaustion.
Trainers attended to Gonzalez for several minutes and a cart was brought out on the field, but turned around when Gonzalez was able to get up and slowly walk to the dugout.
The Reds said Gonzalez was treated for elevated blood pressure and dehydration. His blood pressure returned to normal levels and he was resting comfortably, according to the team.
First base umpire DJ Reyburn moved behind the plate and a three-person crew called the rest of the game.

Esmee Gummer dreamed of becoming a professional dancer. At 18, and just six weeks before she was due to start dance college, complications following surgery left her paralysed from the waist down and unsure if she would ever walk again.
Now 35, she has swapped life at her home in Hackney, east London, for a campervan as she attempts to run 5,000km (3,107 miles) around the UK and Ireland.
She is leading a free 5km (3.1 mile) run club in every British city, as well as Dublin, as part of her project – The Nation's 5k – to inspire people to "say yes to movement before it's too late".
Since setting off from Inverness in June, she has consumed countless carbohydrate gels and worn out at least five pairs of trainers.
A support crew drives the van between cities, but Gummer, originally from Heybridge, Essex, is making the journey on foot, running for up to seven hours a day as she aims to complete the challenge in 99 days.

For those who stayed up well into Saturday morning to watch the opener of this Orioles-Athletics series, well, I wouldn't exactly say you witnessed an instant classic. There was a whole lot of silly baseball going on. Baserunning blunders. Defensive butchery. Inexplicable managerial decisions. The Orioles couldn't score more than two runs in regulation against the league's worst pitching staff, and let a late lead slip away.
But in the end, Coby Mayo and Christian Encarnacion-Strand saved the Orioles' bacon with back-to-back RBI singles in the top of the 10th, and Alex Hoppe hung on in the bottom half for his first career save, bringing a happy ending to an often bewildering game. To quote Camden Chat commenter Knightley: "This game was so stupid, but at least we won."
If you were expecting the Orioles to storm into Sacramento and easily put away the third-worst team in baseball, well, you don't know the Orioles. Every game seems to be a struggle for the Birds, no matter the quality of the opponent. You might think that the O's, after scoring 26 runs in three games in St. Louis, could at least keep up their offensive momentum against an awful Athletics pitching staff, whose 5.75 ERA entering the game was the worst in the American League. Again, you'd be wrong.
In the first nine innings against these supposedly atrocious A's pitchers, the Orioles scored two (2) runs. That's it. Both came in a weird top of the second inning against Athletics starter Jacob Lopez. The lefty's first pitch drilled Coby Mayo in the shoulder, and later he walked Leody Taveras on four pitches. With two down, Dylan Beavers — starting against a lefty for only the fifth time this year — delivered a clutch hit, roping an RBI single to right to plate Mayo with the game's first run.
Then things went haywire. Carlos Narváez tapped a 43-mph dribbler down the first base line. It should have been a simple task for Lopez to simply pick the ball up and tag out Narváez on his way to first, but somehow the A's hurler let the ball pop out of his glove, then collided with Narváez in the baseline, leading to visits from both team's trainers (both players stayed in). Taveras scored on the error, extending the O's lead to 2-0.

Tonight marked the sixteenth Philadelphia Eagles training camp practice ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Here's what I observed from the team's one and only public session of the summer at Lincoln Financial Field!
EAGLES INJURY REPORT:
IN-PRACTICE INJURIES:
OT Lane Johnson seemed to get banged up early in practice. He went to the sideline and talked to a trainer. He remained on the sideline for the rest of practice with a helmet in his hand. He did seem to be shaking his left leg around at times. Fred Johnson filled in for Lane at right tackle (no practice for Markel Bell).
DT Jordan Davis suffered an upper body injury and was looked at by trainers. He put a brace on his arm and returned to team drills.

This week's episode of 'Hard Knocks' was the most revealing and simultaneously the most gut-wrenching to watch for Seattle Seahawks fans.
The season-ending injuries to Bud Clark and Jake Bobo were both shown on the broadcast, punctuating preceding segments in which we got to see Clark with his fiancee and their young son, as well as Bobo and his heart-to-heart with receivers coach Frisman Jackson.
Clark, who broke his ankle on the Seahawks' first defensive play against the Tennessee ******* ans, immediately screamed out, "My sh-t just broke!" after an audible snap could be heard as he planted his right ankle. Incredibly, through the intense pain after suffering an injury that would leave him sidelined for months, Clark kept a remarkably positive attitude as he made his way onto the cart.
"Yeah, we gravy, we gravy," Clark told the athletic trainers.
Clark later said to Coach Mike Macdonald, "Hell yeah, coach, we gravy. It hurts like a motherf—ker, though."

Germany great Lothar Matthäus expects Bayern Munich to dominate the Bundesliga ***** le race again this season.
"Last year I said Bayern would win the ***** le by at least 15 points. In the end it was 16. This season too, Munich will finish at least 10 points ahead of the competition," he wrote in his column for broadcaster Sky on Monday.
Matthäus said Bayern had also shown "what quality and mentality they have" in their 2-1 victory at Borussia Dortmund in the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup on Saturday.
The 65-year-old was not surprised that World Cup stars such as Harry Kane and Michael Olise were back in the starting line-up after only a few days of training.
"Most professionals take their training programmes with them on holiday or have their own trainers with them. Spending three or four weeks doing nothing is no longer possible these days," he said.

Chargers left tackle Rashawn Slater returned to the practice field on Saturday.
Slater missed the entire 2025 season after suffering a torn patellar tendon during last summer's training camp. While he was initially cleared, a little flare-up in his surgically repaired left knee on August 4 forced the team to exercise caution.
After sitting out eight consecutive practices and missing the preseason matchup against the 49ers, Slater finally made his way back to action in a limited capacity. He participated in individual drills and the opening period of 11-on-11 team reps before moving aside to finish his day under the supervision of trainers.
Though Slater's workload is being heavily managed, there is plenty of reason for optimism regarding his return. Slater previously stated that his knee feels "strong and stable," adding that he appreciates the organization's "smart and thoughtful" approach to his long-term health.
Head coach Jim Harbaugh has indicated that he hopes to play his healthy starters for two full drives in the upcoming preseason game against the Rams on Thursday. Whether the coaching staff fields Slater or keeps him for the Week 1 opener against the Cardinals, his return signals that the offensive anchor is right on track.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Seattle coach Mike Macdonald said Sunday night that rookie linebacker Bud Clark will miss months with a broken right ankle, while offensive lineman Mason Richman suffered his own "long-term injury" in the Seahawks' preseason loss to Tennessee.
"Two guys that we love, that play our style of ball, that are our type of guys," Macdonald said of Richman and Clark. "Teammates love 'em, great teammates, great guys, great football players. They have great futures. It's a heartbreaker, honestly. We've had three heartbreakers this week, which is tough."
Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo was carted off the field Friday from Seattle's joint practice with the ******* ans and was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Richman went down on the opening drive and was helped to the sideline after getting his right leg checked while laying down on the field. Macdonald said they have to figure out what the specific issue is, but he called it a "major injury, a long-term injury."
On Seattle's first defensive play, Clark broke his right ankle and Macdonald said he'll miss months. Trainers put his leg in an air cast, and players from both teams came up to the rookie before he was carted off the field. Clark was Seattle's second-round pick and 64th overall out of Texas Christian.

Bayern Munich had to fight tooth and nail to overcome a surprisingly feisty Borussia Dortmund side, which the Bavarians managed with a 2-1 win thanks to goals from Nathaniel Brown and Michael Olise. Despite nearly losing the match, Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany said he was pleased with the team's performance.
"I'm very happy with the win. Michael Olise and Harry Kane trained 3 times with us and were able to play 90 minutes," Kompany said after the match (as captured by X account iMiaSanMia). "Back in my time, you go back from vacation with 3-4 extra kilograms. Now the guys have their private trainers and come back very fit. Nene and Saibari will give us a big extra this season. We still have Lenny, Jamal and Serge Gnabry to come back.
"Regardless of the result today, it was a statement of energy, fighting for every ball, every situation. Some people maybe think we'll have a drop because we won everything last year. But that won't be the case, we won't rest and will try to win everything."
The Rekordmeister is off the mark for 2026/27 with a trophy. Bayern's Bundesliga opener against Stuttgart will be next weekend.

The San Francisco 49ers offensive line depth took a hit Thursday night when offensive lineman Austen Pleasants went down with an apparent knee injury midway through the third quarter.
Pleasants was pushed backward while engaged in a block and then reached for his right knee. He was holding his right knee while on the ground being attended to by trainers.
The veteran offensive lineman quickly entered the medical tent on the sidelines and was almost immediately ruled out. Being immediately ruled out instead of getting listed as questionable isn't a good sign for the nature of the injury. We should get more information from head coach Kyle Shanahan after the game, but the team may also wait to get imaging on Pleasants before making any decisions on him.
Pleasants on Thursday entered the mix for left guard. Rookie carver Willis started the game, but it was Pleasants who got the first opportunities when Willis went to the sideline. Willis was first in line after Pleasants went out.

MASON, Ohio (AP) — Elena Rybakina stopped playing during the first set of her quarterfinal match against Iga Swiatek at the Cincinnati Open on Thursday night.
With the No. 2-ranked Rybakina serving at 1-4, 40-40, she took a medical timeout to have trainers address her left ankle area.
Rybakina appeared to injure herself during the previous point. After several minutes, she returned to the court but retired from the match after attempting one serve.
Rybakina lost to Swiatek in the semifinals in Cincinnati last year.
With top seed Aryna Sabalenka losing Thursday night to Sara Bejlik, the 27-year-old Rybakina could have risen to No. 1 in the rankings by reaching the final.

The Houston Texans are now on watch for an update on Jayden Higgins.
The second-year wide receiver left practice Tuesday with what appeared to be a lower-body injury suffered during team drills against the Las Vegas Raiders. In the red zone, Higgins was going for a pass when he fell to the ground and looked to be writhing in pain.
Multiple players on offense, including quarterback C.J. Stroud, wide receiver Nico Collins and fellow receiver Xavier Hutchinson, came over to check on Higgins as he lay in the grass. Being attended to by trainers.
While a cart came out to transport him, Higgins got up on his own power. He did not return to practice and was still being checked on by the medical staff when practice ended.
"No update at this time with Higgins," Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said after practice. "They're still evaluating him for a leg injury."

CLEVELAND (AP) — Home plate umpire Jordan Baker came out before the top of the fifth inning of the San Francisco Giants game against the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night.
Baker took a foul ball off the mask during an at-bat by San Francisco's Andrew Knizner during the second inning. He remained in the game for two more innings and was routinely checked by trainers before coming out after four innings.
The game was delayed for 12 minutes so Rob Drake could move from third base to home plate. It was a three-man crew for the rest of the game, with Steven Jaschinski moving from second to third and Stu Scheurwater staying at first.

Saints fans can breathe a sigh of relief: Chris Olave is just fine.
The Saints wide receiver left the joint practice with the Cowboys before it was finished. He went into the medical tent and then left with athletic trainers.
Olave, though, later returned to team drills.
First-round wideout Jordyn Tyson will miss around two months after injuring his hamstring during a joint practice with the Jaguars last Thursday.
The Saints worked out veteran wide receivers Chase Claypool and Josh Reynolds on Tuesday.

A series of fights and skirmishes threatened to derail the New Orleans Saints' joint practice session with the Dallas Cowboys, but the Saints managed to get through the afternoon without any fight-related injuries. That's not to say they got out of it unscathed. Several players exited practice early, two of them starters: running back Alvin Kamara and cornerback Quincy Riley. The severity of their injuries is not yet known.
"Only two guys who weren't able to finish practice were Alvin with a knee, and then Quincy with a groin," head coach Kellen Moore told reporters afterwards. "Other than that, good work, obviously you guys saw the chippiness of it. Not the ideal flow of a joint practice but we got the work that we needed. We'll have one more Thursday with the Rams, we've had a number (of practices) with those guys before, so (not worried)."
Moore later clarified that wide receiver Ronnie Bell left the practice with heat-related issues; he was seen walking slowly too the sideline before being driven indoors on a trainer's cart without his jersey. Wide receiver Chris Olave, the team's top wide receiver, briefly received attention from trainers after taking a hit on a catch but remained on the sidelines to observe the rest of practice. He later returned for the final sequence of team drills in a red zone period.
Fans and reporters covering the joint practice counted as many as six, seven, ten or more dustups over the course of the two-hour practice session. Both teams were fortunate to get out of it without any serious injuries from the fists and helmets flying around. We'll see if tempers flare up again on Thursday when the Saints and Rams meet for their own joint practice session.

El SEGUNDO, Calif. -- It only took seven reps for a key Chargers offensive lineman to go down. Center Tyler Biadasz had his head down as he was carted into the facility.
On the seventh play of Tuesday morning's joint practice, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert threw a pass downfield to receiver Quentin Johnston, who made a heck of a grab while also being interfered with by 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir.
While everyone was celebrating downfield, the training staff rushed to Biadasz, who was on the ground in pain and favoring his left leg. During the play to Johnston, left guard Kayode Awosika blocked 49ers defensive lineman Sebastian Valdez into Biadasz's leg.
The Chargers center was helped up by two trainers and onto the cart. As he sat on it, Biadasz hit the cart three times in frustration. Herbert and multiple players came over to offer their support.
"Obviously praying for the best," Herbert said after practice.

BOSTON — Third baseman Nolan Arenado was out of the Arizona Diamondbacks' lineup for a second consecutive day as he deals with a left intercostal injury, but manager Torey Lovullo said the tentative plan was for Arenado to return to action in the series finale on Wednesday, Aug. 19, as the designated hitter.
"He's getting very close," Lovullo said. "We want him to continue to get a little more work with the trainers."
Lovullo said there was a "strong possibility" that Arenado would start on Wednesday.
Arenado left the game on Sunday, Aug. 16, in Atlanta due to the injury and underwent an MRI on Monday, Aug. 17.

On the field, former Baltimore Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini did a lot worth celebrating. After finishing as runner-up for the Rookie of the Year award, Mancini went on to post three more seasons with an above-average wRC+. He also helped the Houston Astros win a World Series in 2022.
But Mancini's biggest accomplishment in the sport had little to do with his on-field production. Following his best season in the majors — in which he hit 35 home runs and somehow didn't make the All-Star team — Mancini announced he was diagnosed with colon cancer. He missed the entire 2020 MLB season while in recovery.
Later that year, he announced he was cancer-free and returned to play four more seasons in MLB.
After a few at-bats with the Los Angeles Angels this season, however, Mancini officially decided to hang up his cleats Tuesday. He announced his decision on Instagram, making sure to pay special tribute to Orioles fans.
In his note, Mancini thanked fans, his family, his wife and daughter, teammates, coaches and — most notably — athletic trainers and doctors.

The NFL has clarified that New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart's evaluation in the blue medical tent during the team's preseason opener was a "standard medical timeout."
League protocol involves multiple independent neurologists and medical trainers reviewing replay for signs of impact or injury behavior that can trigger a check. Dart was forced into the tent late in the first quarter Saturday against the Minnesota Vikings after safety Jay Ward delivered a crushing hit to the torso.
Running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. had missed his blocking ****** ignment, leaving the second-year quarterback exposed.
Dart got up slowly, spent a brief period under evaluation, and returned a few snaps later. On his first play back, he scrambled and found rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields for a 15-yard touchdown. He finished 3-of-4 for 26 yards in limited action.
After the game, Dart expressed clear frustration.

Tennessee baseball's Blaine Brown underwent surgery on his left elbow to repair an injury suffered in the Cape Cod League and will miss fall ball, a UT spokesperson confirmed to Knox News on Aug. 18.
Brown, a junior two-way player who mostly played left field last season, is expected to return in time for the 2027 season but will not be able to pitch. He will be able to hit, but whether he will play in the field is to be determined. He had internal brace surgery, which typically requires between six and nine months for a full recovery.
Brown appeared in 15 games for the Brewster Whitecaps of the Cape Cod League. He started on the mound for Brewster's playoff game on Aug. 4 but had to exit with athletic trainers after just 1.1 innings.
Brown transferred to Tennessee from Rice last offseason and started all but one game for the Vols. He was a highly acclaimed transfer, having been a first-team all-conference selection at Rice the season before and landing on Baseball America's preseason All-American team for 2026.
It was ultimately an up-and-down season for Brown at the plate, though. He flashed his power with 13 home runs, 12 doubles and 42 RBIs, but hit .240 batting average and had a .308 on-base percentage. He hit .233 in conference play and was ultimately benched for Tennessee's final game of the season in the Chapel Hill Regional.

What began as light summertime reading is now among the things Bruce Feldman is best known for.
The longtime college football writer's annual Freaks List is something most sports fans look forward to. Since 2005, he has highlighted premier athletes. It's not necessarily the best pro prospects, though many do make the list; rather, it's the freakiest. Players come from all levels, not just FBS schools. He gets input from coaches, trainers, sports information directors, NFL scouts, among others.
We recently caught up with Feldman, the national college football insider for The Athletic, to discuss his Freaks List and other topics.
Note: This interview has been edited and condensed for length and clarity.

The Jets had a bit of a scare during Monday's practice.
Star running back Breece Hall was forced to leave the session early as he went down untouched while running after pulling in a swing pass in the open field.
Hall walked off slowly alongside trainers to the medical tent.
Head coach Aaron Glenn revealed later Monday morning that the 25-year-old strained his groin, and is set to undergo further evaluation.
The initial belief, though, is that the injury isn't believed to be serious.

MIAMI GARDENS ― The Miami Dolphins activated rookie wide receiver Chris Bell from the non-football injury list on Monday, Aug. 17.
Bell has looked good in work on the side with trainers as he planned a return from a season-ending knee injury at Louisville.
This is an indicator Miami could have rookie receivers Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell available for the season opener at Las Vegas on Sunday, Sept. 13.
This is a huge boost for quarterback Malik Willis and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik.
Bell was a third-round pick in the last NFL Draft, 94th overall.

Travis Kelce made sure his new wedding ring was impossible to miss as he arrived at Arrowhead Stadium ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs' pre-season opener against the Los Angeles Rams.
The 36-year-old tight end was sporting a yellow gold band on his ring finger, giving fans another glimpse into life after his July 3 wedding to Taylor Swift.
Kelce and Swift tied the knot at Madison Square Garden in New York, with more than 1,000 guests attending the celebration. Details from inside the wedding have remained limited because of strict security and a no-phone policy.
Swift has also been seen wearing her own ring since the wedding, most recently during a night out in London earlier this week.
Kelce arrived at Arrowhead in a tie-dye outfit, black sunglasses and trainers, but it was the chunky gold wedding band that quickly caught attention.

Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert is among the three newest advisors to the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority, officials announced Aug. 14.
As a member of HISA's Horsemen's Advisory Group, Baffert is expected provide feedback on the Racetrack Safety, and Anti-Doping and Medication Control programs, which cover rules and regulations in horse racing. The others named to the 18-member advisory group Aug. 14 are trainers Jena Antonucci and Tim Keefe.
"We are also pleased to welcome our new members to the Advisory Group and look forward to the perspectives they will bring as we continue working collaboratively with stakeholders to enhance the sport for horses and participants alike," HISA CEO Lisa Lazarus said in a statement.
Baffert, Antonucci and Keefe succeed outgoing advisory group members Kelsey Danner, Gavin Murphy and Jonathan Sadler.
Baffert, 73, has trained six Kentucky Derby and two Triple Crown winners in a more than 40-year career. In 2021, Baffert received a two-year suspension from Churchill Downs after Medina Spirit, who had finished first in that year's Kentucky Derby, was found to have failed a postrace drug test. The suspension was later extended one year amid a lawsuit from Baffert, who had claimed Churchill was targeting him and trying to destroy his career.

Following a Thursday night preseason opener tie, the Indianapolis Colts were back in action indoors during otherwise a soggy late Saturday afternoon—for what was a rather uneventful training camp practice, with the team primarily focusing on end zone work.
I was actually able to attend this one as a credentialed member of the media, so I'll change the format up a bit:
For another training camp practice, it looked like the Colts secondary got the better of the Indianapolis wide receivers, especially with Alec Pierce still out (who we'll get to in a bit here). That seems to have been a common theme so far this training camp, and when the trio of Sauce Gardner, Charvarius Ward, and Justin Walley are all fully healthy, the Colts project to have one of the best cornerback rooms atop their depth chart in the entire league.
In particular, starting cornerback Justin Walley, who was playing on the outside in place of Ward in this one, had at least a few deflections of note. Oftentimes, Jones was forced to hold the football in the passing pocket until a Colts receiver could finally free up from tight coverage. That may not happen in a real game, where the pass rush will get to him a lot quicker and not let up, likely seeing more 'coverage sacks.'
That being said, while the Colts secondary did stifle Jones for much of the afternoon, he connected on at least a few touchdowns passes in 11-on-11 red zone work, including to Josh Downs, who came up gingerly after the acrobatic touchdown catch but was able to walk off the field and be attended to by trainers. Downs did later return to practice. Ashton Dulin, Seth McGowan, Laquon Treadwell, and Tyler Warren, who also had an acrobatic dandy, caught the other touchdown receptions from Jones on the afternoon from what I saw.

Slowly but surely, some of the Detroit Lions' key figures are making their way back into training camp practices.
Per Pride of Detroit's Jeremy Reisman, running backs Sione Vaki (broken nose) and Jabari Small, offensive lineman Juice Scruggs (soft tissue), linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez (ankle), EDGE Derrick Moore (groin) and cornerback D.J. Reed (groin) all made their way back into Saturday's training camp practice.
On another encouraging note, Lions rookie linebacker Jimmy Rolder was spotted working with trainers. Rolder is expected to "miss some time" but NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported on Aug. 1 that Rolder had avoided a severe injury. Saturday's news is a step forward in Rolder's return.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell shared an injury update before the Lions' 12th training camp practice, indicating that some of its top players would start working there way back in.
"Yeah, (Derrick) Moore will start working back here a little bit. We'll work those guys progressively. Get them back every day a little bit more and more, provided no setbacks. So, I think we'll get (Sione) Vaki out there a little bit. Moore is one of them. We talked about Juice. I think DJ Reed's going to start working back in. So, we're about to get a lot of guys back here," Campbell said.

In 2025, the injury bug didn't just bite the Bucs, it fed off them. Nearly every meaningful starter on both sides of the ball was beaten up, and the health of this team would be a big reason why they either bounced back or continued down the standings of the NFC South.
On Wednesday, the bug returned.
During a joint practice with the New York Jets, wide receiver Emeka Egbuka limped off the field with trainers. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo shared he was, "examined on the sideline table for a while. Hard to see exactly what's up from where we are but he's still on the table and hasn't returned."
Later, while speaking to the media, head coach Todd Bowles shared that he did not have an update on Egbuka. He also said he was unclear on what the injury was at that point.
As updates come in, we will provide them on Bucs Wire.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (undisclosed) limped off the field to be examined by trainers Wednesday, Aug. 12.
SOURCE: NFL Network - Mike Garafolo
Huddle Up: No word on what the ailment is, but the talented second-year receiver is worth monitoring. He had a 63-938-6 line last season but was slowed by injuries despite playing in all 17 games. He's a WR with an ADP of 46 and is supposed to be the featured guy with Mike Evans gone to San Francisco.
