Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) average spot trading volume fell to roughly $2.2 billion in July, according to K33 Research. That marked the token's weakest trading volume since Nov. 2023.
That chilly sentiment wasn't surprising, since fears of interest rate hikes and other macro headwinds had chilled the broader cryptocurrency market this year. Bitcoin currently trades at about $65,000, which is well below its all-time high of more than $126,000 in Oct. 2025.
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 »
Some investors might think that sluggish trading indicates Bitcoin's best days are over. However, I'm not too concerned about the top cryptocurrency's future -- and I believe it will heat up again and set fresh highs once the macroeconomic environment stabilizes.
In Nov. 2021, Bitcoin hit $69,000 amid the buying frenzy in meme stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other speculative investments. But in 2022 and 2023, the Fed's 11 consecutive rate hikes ended that rally, chilled the crypto market, and drove investors to more conservative investments.

Dwyane Wade: I definitely have a favorite championship and it's a no brainer. It's 2006. I love all my championships but that's my favorite because being a young kid at 24 years old. Everything just happened so fast in my life. 17 years old I'm like 'alright I'm putting everything into basketball' and then 24 winning a chip in the NBA. What? Being in the position where I was the leading man to accomplish that. My other championships I wasn't the leading guy. — that's the most proud I've ever been of myself.
YouTube
Dwyane Wade: "LeBron is never going to do what you think he's going to do. I don't think any of us had Philly pinned as the number one team, but it's right on brand. For me, when I look at that, it's a bigger than just a championship. The roster is incredible right now, and so he gets a chance to get to that maybe five, six championships. Outside of that, I look at that as an off-the-basketball move as well. I feel like it's bigger than just the two years." — 7/29/2026 YouTube
Dwyane Wade: "At 44 years old, I shouldn't have had cancer surgery already. I'm about the numbers, but it's scary in you. I started living a little different life, a little freer. I smile more, and I always smile. I laugh more. I appreciate more. I'm thankful. I feel better, feel younger. Well, not that left knee, but you know what I mean." — 7/26/2026 YouTube

WESTFIELD — Every member of the Colts' brain trust, from Indianapolis principal owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon to general manager Chris Ballard to head coach Shane Steichen, has opened their comments at training camp this week by singing the praises of Grand Park and the city of Westfield.
Words that remain a little bittersweet this year.
The Colts are in the eighth and final year they will hold training camp at Grand Park, preparing to move training camp back to the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center on West 56th next summer.
"It was a tough decision to come to, because as I said, Grand Park has been a great host," Irsay-Gordon said. "It wasn't a financial decision, it was really more about the operational efficiency and making sure our team can prepare to perform on game day."
The Colts initially paid the city of Westfield $653,000 to host training camp at Grand Park for 10 years.

With the MLB trade deadline just around the corner, Cincinnati Reds ace Hunter Greene has been one of the most frequently discussed names in trade speculation. Given his electric stuff and front-of-the-rotation potential, it wasn't surprising that contending teams reportedly reached out to the Reds to gauge his availability.
However, it now appears that one of the deadline's biggest rumored blockbusters is unlikely to happen. MLB insider Ken Rosenthal has cast significant doubt on the possibility of Greene being dealt, suggesting Cincinnati has little interest in moving its ace despite the growing number of inquiries from around the league.

For weeks, rumors suggested the Reds could consider moving Greene if presented with the right offer. Those reports fueled speculation that several contenders were preparing blockbuster packages in hopes of landing one of baseball's premier young pitchers.
Rosenthal's latest comments paint a different picture.

In terms of years for the Penn State staff, athletic director Pat Kraft has had a pretty rough one. Whether it be the decision to fire James Franklin and the subsequent fallout or overseeing renovations to Beaver Stadium, he hasn't had much time to breathe. However, fans will be happy to know that in new head coach Matt Campbell, he has found somebody he can trust.
"I think he is the absolute perfect person at the perfect time for Penn State football," Kraft said during Big Ten media days. The road to get him to Happy Valley wasn't necessarily easy, but the fact that Kraft is giving Campbell a vote of confidence after a highly rigorous coaching process is very telling. Not only did Kraft need someone who could usher in a new era of Penn State football, but he also needed someone willing to buy in and build a solid culture with a new-look squad.
Campbell got to work right away in doing so by bringing in a whopping 55 transfers. An even more impressive feat was retaining 55 players despite the change. While some may say that bringing in a lot of players may take time to gel, it's also a testament to what Campbell is already doing in Happy Valley to foster a sense of community.
"I believe that [Campbell] understands what it means to be, and the importance of the role of, the head football coach at Penn State, and he doesn't take that lightly," Kraft said. "I think he has built a culture in a very short time that our fans, our alumni, everybody will be very, very proud of. And they will be an incredibly competitive, tough, physical football team."The season ahead could be one filled with success for the Nittany Lions, if they play their cards right. It could also be one that tests a lot of fans' patience if it goes wrong. Still, when your AD is this effusive about his new head coach, there is every right for fans to have a sense of optimism before the season starts.

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England – For Georgia Hall, the fairytale finish wasn't meant to be, though she will certainly have memories and photos to cherish.
Hall returned to Royal Lytham and St. Annes, site of her major championship triumph eight years ago, with infant son Conor and fiancé Paul Dunne by her side. It was a lovely family event, even if her golf at the 2026 AIG Women's British Open didn't get her to the weekend. Hall shot 76-72 to finish at 6 over for the championship. The cut fell at 4 over, with 66 players advancing.
"I had a picture with him on 18 and that will definitely be my screen saver," said Hall. "I have my whole life there with Paul. It's lovely. It's a shame he's not a bit older, but I'm really grateful that I kind of made it back here and everything went well enough in the birth to allow me to play."
It was a tough week for moms, in fact, as only Alison Lee (4 over) has a Saturday tee time. Royal Lytham was the site of Catriona Matthew's incredible feat in 2009, when she triumphed only 11 weeks after giving birth to daughter Sophie.
Perhaps the most shocking player to miss the cut this week was defending champion Miyu Yamashita, who made a quadruple-bogey eight on the par-4 18th after bunker trouble and a triple on the par-4 third. Yamashita shot 77 on Friday to finish at 7 over for the tournament. It marked her first missed cut in a major since the 2024 British Open.

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

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — As if two-way player Travis Hunter doesn't already have enough on his plate.
The week before the Jacksonville Jaguars opened training camp, Hunter was photographed wearing a police vest posing with Sheriff T.K. Waters and members of the Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department. It had the look of a ride-along, though Hunter wasn't saying.
"I was just out there just having fun with Sheriff T.K.," Hunter said Friday.
Hunter, the Heisman Trophy winner out of Colorado whom the Jaguars made the No. 2 pick in last year's draft, has enough to keep him occupied in training camp. Hunter is returning from injury, his rookie year ending two months into the season when he tore knee ligaments during noncontact drills.
In seven games, he played 324 snaps at receiver and 162 snaps at cornerback. The plan to use him on both sides of the ball has not changed, especially after the Jaguars shored up the core of their secondary by re-signing Montaric "Buster" Brown in March.

Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa spoke about the back issue that has limited him in practice this week for the first time on Friday.
Tagovailoa said at a press conference that he started feeling "just some tightness" in his back sometime last week and that led to the decision for him to sit out Wednesday's opening practice of training camp. Tagovailoa has done limited practice work the last couple of days and said that the current plan is to continue taking things slow because of where they are in the calendar.
"I think just right now, it's just a precaution thing early on in camp and then we'll work through that," Tagovailoa said. "I feel great right now. Like I said, it feels good to be out there with the guys, be able to throw, continue to hear the plays, get in the huddle with the guys. All of that."
Tagovailoa said this is the first time he's experienced the back issue and that he's done a lot of work in a pool with the training staff to relieve the tension he's been under.
As of now, there's no timetable for when Tagovailoa will move up to a full practice workload but there wasn't much sign of concern from him or head coach Kevin Stefanski about how long it will be until that time arrives.

I never thought it would be so simple, but, I found a way. I found a way.
When Indianapolis Colts principal owner Carly Irsay-Gordon stood before the team early in training camp, her message wasn't complicated. Find a way.
The phrase couldn't escape her mind as she was speaking to the team. Find a way to make the roster. Find a way to make the play when it matters most. Find a way to fly through the turbulence, through adversity. Ultimately, the goal is to find a way back to the playoffs.
Three practices into training camp at Grand Park, that mantra continues to echo across thre practice field as players try to climb their way up the depth chart. For some veterans, finding a way means stepping into a larger role. For young players and rookies, it means simply proving they belong. Friday's practice featured prime examples of both.
Wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine is looking to carve out a significant role after signing with Indianapolis in March. With the Colts trading away Michael Pittman Jr. this offseason, the veteran receiver has been presented with an opportunity to earn the third starting spot. On Friday, Westbrook-Ikhine spent extensive time working with both the first- and second-team offense and rewarded all three quarterbacks who looked in his direction.

The Chicago Bears were back for the third practice of training camp on Friday, which welcomed fans to Halas Hall for the first open workout of the summer.
The Bears put on a show for the fans on Day 3, which was dominated by the offense and featured several standout performances. Quarterback Caleb Williams is off to a hot start this training camp, and his connection continues to grow with his returning cast of weapons in Colston Loveland, Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III. There was also an interesting left tackle battle update, where for the first time this summer it wasn't Braxton Jones running with the first team. Meanwhile, the defense put up a bit of a fight during red zone drills, where Williams threw his first interception of camp.
Here's what we learned from the third practice of training camp:
The Bears offense has overwhelmingly dominated the first three practices of training camp, although the defense has had a few moments. On Friday, it was quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent putting on a show for fans leading Chicago's explosive passing attack that's remained mostly unstoppable. According to Chris Kwiecinski, "Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent stole the show. They were in command, deadly accurate and anticipated routes so well." Williams' connection with Colston Loveland and Rome Odunze thrived while Bagent developed a nice rapport with Jahdae Walker, per Michal Dwojak. Even after Williams threw his first interception of the summer to Jaylon Johnson during red zone work, he "regrouped and made positive plays after."
The Bears offense had another impressive showing, but their one flaw came during the first red zone period, which was dominated by the defense. According to Courtney Cronin, both Montez Sweat and Austin Booker had sacks on back-to-back plays. Williams was picked off by cornerback Jaylon Johnson during a 7-on-7 red-zone drill, but he was able to bounce back later. Mark Carman noted that there was "some sloppiness in the red zone" where "Caleb showed some frustration and leadership." But the offense closed things out on a strong note with a successful two-minute drill, where there was 1:37 left, two timeouts, on own 39 with game tied at 10-10, per Adam Jahns. They went sox plays before Williams connected with Loveland for a 14-yard touchdown. But the best part according to Jahns? "Williams and Bears offense overcame a sack halfway through the drill. Williams-Loveland connection came through."

Generally speaking, when a fighter says they're in the best shape of their lives before a fight, there's an urge to take a big swig of the old giggle water, because there's scarcely been a fighter in world history who wasn't.
Yet when Daniel Rodriguez says he notices he's been working harder than usual, almost as an outside observer to himself with a new lease on reason, you tend to listen. That's because until April, Rodriguez was in a Tijuana jail cell, where he'd spent the last eight months on a marijuana possession rap, far longer than a borderline bogus charge should warrant. He was able to hit some pads and do some "roadwork" in the yard, and even had a heavy bag at his disposal, but there was nary a nutritionist on site, nor were his coaches there to guide him, or a sauna, a ring, or really any of the creature comforts of a training facility.
Since April he's been working like a madman splitting time in Las Vegas and Los Angeles to catch his body up to the task of fighting Uros Medic this Saturday at UFC Belgrade in Serbia, yet it's doubtful Rodriguez is in the best physical shape of his life at 39.
But so what? He has never felt freer than he is right now in Belgrade, walking straight into the wheelhouse of the country's free-swinging ****** assin.
"You know what?" Rodriguez says, "I think I've handled it pretty well, man. I've handled this like a true professional. From the condition that I was in when I was released to where I'm at now and all the preparation and the whole fight camp and everything in between from then till now, the ups and downs, it's been a roller-coaster.

What's the definition of "not going well?" How about playing a series against a team that came in on a 12-game losing streak, and getting swept? The series against the Marlins showed that it's not just one thing plaguing the Phillies at the moment, it's everything. Each loss came in a different fashion, with the one common thread being poor defense.
Next, the Phillies will travel to Baltimore to take on an Orioles team that theoretically should provide some opportunities for victories. However, considering how poorly the team has played since the All-Star Game, any future opponents could say the same thing.
Jackson Holliday was a can't miss prospect. The son of a former All-Star and first overall pick of the 2022 draft, Holliday was rated as the top prospect in baseball prior to the 2024 season. When he was called up to the majors in April of that year, it was expected that the middle infielder would become an instant star.
For every Phillies fan who complains that the team is too slow to promote their young players, just remember that not every prospect, no matter how touted they are, is going to be succeed immediately upon reaching the majors. Holliday struggled so much that the team quickly demoted him. (For the fans who want to trade every prospect, this is some ammunition for your case.)
He returned to the majors at the end of July that year, and while he wasn't awful, he certainly didn't look anything like the star that was promised. 2025 was slightly better as he hit 17 home runs, but his defense was subpar and his OPS was only .690.

Standing on the touchline at just 19 years of age, Conrad Ambursley was getting set to make his senior debut.
"We were 2-1 down, so I just wanted to get us back in the game," Ambursley said a couple of weeks later. "I wanted to try and do what I could to help. That was it really.
"I always get ******* erflies, but it wasn't really any nerves. I was just quite excited to get going."
For the young Englishman, that debut was taking place over 5,000 miles away from his home.
The football pitch was home, though, and has been for as long as he can remember.

It wasn't the colour she wanted, but Caitlin Rainey made history by claiming Scotland's first medal in women's boxing at a Commonwealth Games by taking bronze on Friday.
The 23-year-old lost on split-decision to Northern Ireland's Kaci Rock, having taken the first round in their semi-final bout.
Rock landed an impressive hit at the end of the second to force a nail-bitingly close final round, which just went in her favour.
Taxi driver Rainey was naturally disappointed with the outcome having "just fallen short" but she was able to find the positives in her historic performance at these Games.
"I'm proud of myself and I hope I've made my family proud by doing this," she said.

Why Yankees left top prospect out of minor league lineup before MLB trade deadline originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
With so many injuries to their lineup, the New York Yankees should be one of the more aggressive clubs at this year's MLB trade deadline.
The only prospect who could be considered off limits for the Yankees is shortstop George Lombard Jr. General manager Brian Cashman may be reluctant to include the shortstop's name in trade talks.
Other prospects who could help the Yankees land impact pacts should be considered up for grabs for the right player and price.
Francys Romero reported Thursday that the Yankees held one of their top prospects out of Single-A Tampa's lineup, but it wasn't for the reason you're likely thinking of.

Mahogany was officially taken off the Non-Football Injury list on Friday and immediately got some first-team reps, splitting time with Juice Scruggs. Mahogany told a small group of reporters that his absence was not injury related, and he's ready to improve upon last year's perforance.

Romelu Lukaku is about to return from his post-World Cup vacations, and the conversations to sort out his Napoli future, involving also Massimiliano Allegri, will ramp up. The parties are distant from finding a solution, Gazzetta dello Sport informs.
The striker has no plans to spend a campaign backing up Rasmus Hojlund, who was recently bought out for over €40M. The new Partenopei gaffer has exclusively rehearsed schemes featuring just one striker so far. The gaffer has frequently utilized 3-5-2 in his career, but they have a few wingers to employ.
Napoli can't give Lukaku the prominent role he aspires to. At the same time, they have no interest in keeping a reserve with a €11M gross salary. The center-forward seemed surely destined to leave after last season's events, but he had changed his tune earlier in the summer.
The Azzurri suggested extending his contract to dilute his wages to make them more manageable, but they were rebuffed. His exit isn't easy to orchestrate, considering his age, demands, injury history, and €10/12M valuation. The side aims to avoid a loss on its balance sheet. The team is hoping his performances across the pond will help in that regard. He wasn't a full-time starter for Belgium, but still made his presence felt with three goals and one ******* ist.
He's proven he can be dangerous in small doses, but the club also has to weigh other stuff, especially the economic side. Everything points toward an exit, with perhaps Saudi Arabia or the MLS coming to the rescue, if the Azzurri aren't too rigid on his price tag. But, as often happens with him, it'll get messy first.

The month of July is in it's final day, and the start of the Kentucky football season is just 36 days away. As we count down the days until game one against Youngstown State, we're also getting to know the players on the roster. Today, we're taking a look at No. 36, Andrew Weber.
Weber is a 6'0", 175 lb defensive back out of Cincinnati, Ohio. On the football field, he starred for St. Xavier at safety, receiver, and as a punt returner. He also baseball and basketball where he excelled as well. He wasn't heavily recruited, but he did have offers from South Carolina and Army. He chose to head to Lexington, though.
As a freshman, Weber proved to be a star in the classroom as well as a terrific athlete. He made the Dean's list and was named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll. He was on the Dean's list once again last season while continuing to practice and staying ready with the football team.
Heading into the 2026 season, Weber will be a junior after sticking around through the coaching change. He will be a depth piece in the secondary who may not see a lot of playing time, but will practice with the team and provide value in other ways.

With our delay in recording this week you're getting multiple episodes in back to back days. We should be back to a normal schedule when we record again this Sunday. We are continuing our look at the Purdue football schedule and this week we look into one of the oldest Big Ten rivalries in existence. That's right folks, today we are talking about Big Ten stalwart and Purdue's long-time rival the UCLA Bruins. Still feels weird to say that.
So, we take a look back at the 2025 season for the UCLA Bruins. Here's a reminder, they were bad. They had a bit of a streak in the middle of the season where they won some games but then they went downhill once again. I do believe that there's a high likelihood Purdue could've beaten them last season if they played. Purdue wasn't good but they competed (at times) in some tough games. However, they didn't play so we will never know.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup was a rousing success, but it wasn't perfect. One standout hiccup was the final venue: New York/New Jersey Stadium, aka MetLife, which simply wasn't up to the standards of the world's biggest sporting match.
We've only just managed to catch our breath after a spine-tingling 2026 FIFA World Cup, and yet, the focus is already shifting towards the 2030 edition.
Like 2026, there will be three official host nations in Morocco, Spain, and Portugal, but to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the tournament, the first three matches will take place in Uruguay, Paraguay, and Argentina — making this the first World Cup to feature across six countries and three continents.
But four years out from the competition, there is plenty still up in the air. It's uncertain how many teams will participate, and the final venue is still yet to be determined.
While Spain is confident of securing the rights to the final after the Santiago Bernabéu's €1.35 billion renovation, don't count Morocco out. The Hassan II Stadium is currently under construction just outside of Casablanca, and with a planned capacity of 115,000, it would be the biggest football stadium in the world upon completion.

Four teenage athletes from the Apple Valley Gun Club took home a second-place trophy from this year's Scholastic Action Shooting national championship in the Rimfire Optic division.
In this competition, participants use a semi-automatic .22 pistol with a red dot optic to shoot steel targets at set distances. They are scored on both accuracy and speed.
The High Desert shooters was the only team to represent California at the Ohio competition. Coach Ryan Gunn says he wasn't expecting the team to do so well, given there were 2,800 registered competitors, and some rimfire optic teams had more than 10 shooters to the Apple Valley team's four.
He told the Daily Press that he and ***** istant coach Jake Morrison are proud of how each High Desert shooter did.
"They competed against shooters with world record ***** les," Gunn said. "Our team did an impressive job keeping up. We had a great time out there."

The Pacers' social media team started leaving breadcrumbs a week ago leading to the announcement of their new pinstriped Statement uniforms. Just before the formal announcement, they pointed back at the trail.
The Pacers posted a photo graphic of the uniforms with tweets clamoring for a return of the pinstripes. The post read: "Please go back and read the first letter of our last 17 tweets," with two eye emojis.
Indeed, the first letter of that tweet and the previous 16 spelled out "PINSTRIPES ARE BACK."
The pattern was never obvious in large part because the letters were posted in reverse order chronologically so that scrolling through the timeline would spell out the words. So the last letter -- K -- was posted first on July 23 in a post about newly acquired Pacers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. highlighting a quote in a podcast from general manager Chad Buchanan. It wasn't until Wednesday that any of the posts even touched on the topic of uniforms as the social media team kept the bit going through tweets about Obi Toppin's charity golf outing, video of Tyrese Haliburton dunking during his Achilles tendon injury recovery, Toppin's serving as the pace car driver at the Brickyard 400 and the appearances of Jarace Walker and Braden Smith at basketball camps.
The tweets follow.

So the last letter -- K -- was posted first on July 23 in a post about newly acquired Pacers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. highlighting a quote in a podcast from general manager Chad Buchanan. It wasn't until Wednesday that any of the posts even touched on the topic of uniforms as the social media team kept the bit going through tweets about Obi Toppin's charity golf outing, video of Tyrese Haliburton dunking during his Achilles tendon injury recovery, Toppin's serving as the pace car driver at the Brickyard 400 and the appearances of Jarace Walker and Braden Smith at basketball camps.
The tweets follow.

La Familia took it to JHX Sport (Kansas alumni) Wednesday night in front of a great HMC crowd. They were patiently waiting until tonight to see who stands in their way of a $2 million payday from the non-alumni bracket.
Wait no more.
Davis Steel remained undefeated in TBT play, rolling to a 4th-straight win Thursday after beating The Mecca 71-69. The Mecca had some nice stats though; Casper Ware scored 20, and Brandon Moss had 17 off the bench. Former Fresno State big man Terrell Carter had 6 of the 11 blocked shots for TM, but it wasn't enough.
Former Arizona standout Gabe York led the way for Davis Steel, pouring in 16 while Anthony Clemons and DJ Rodman (son of Dennis Rodman) both had 13.
La Familia vs. Davis Steel will tip off Sunday afternoon (1:00 p.m. ET | FOX) inside Memorial Coliseum. This will be the last game Willie Cauley-Stein plays in Lexington, at least professionally anyway. What better way to send him off than to win a huge payday?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani wasn't in the lineup for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night because of lingering soreness in his left knee that is keeping him off the mound.
The two-way superstar wanted to play against the Seattle Mariners, manager Dave Roberts said, but it was the team's decision to rest him. Ohtani told the training staff of renewed soreness after Wednesday night's 4-2 win.
"I appreciate the communication," Roberts said. "I can't read minds, the training staff can't read minds, so just for him to communicate that then allows for us to make a decision."
Second baseman Tommy Edman was set to bat leadoff in Ohtani's place in the series finale.
Ohtani has been dealing with knee soreness since June 11 and hasn't pitched since July 3 while also dealing with a right biceps issue. He skipped the All-Star Game in Philadelphia to stay home and receive a lubricant injection in the knee.

Just a few weeks ago, only a handful of members of the U.S. women's hockey team were expected to attend the ESPYs, the annual awards show honoring the year's biggest athletes, teams and moments in sports.
By Wednesday afternoon, many more of the reigning Olympic gold medalists were swapping jerseys for gowns inside a midtown Manhattan penthouse. Champagne was flowing. Hair and makeup artists buzzed around the room. Defenseman Mariah Keopple, who also works as a stylist, helped teammates put the finishing touches on their looks before they headed to the awards show, airing live Wednesday night from the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City.
It wasn't exactly the typical pregame routine for one of the world's best hockey teams. And none of it would have happened without an unlikely benefactor: Flavor Flav.
The Public Enemy legend learned last week from U.S. captain Hilary Knight that only a handful of players had been invited to the ESPYs, where Team USA is nominated for Best Team following its dramatic gold-medal victory at the 2026 Winter Olympics. For Flavor Flav, the solution was simple: "I got you."
That promise quickly snowballed.
