Ex-player issues Masyn Winn demand to Cardinals appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn features a high ceiling. Winn earned a Gold Glove in 2025. He displayed offensive potential as well, but in 2026 Winn hit just .232 with a .625 OPS. Former MLB star pitcher Lance Lynn isn't placing all of the blame on Winn for his offensive struggles, though. Lynn believes the Cardinals need to make a lineup adjustment next season.
"If you do not put Masyn Winn in the top of the lineup to do what Masyn Winn is capable of, you keep putting him in a hole," Lynn said, via Cardinal Territory. "You gotta free him up… Last year, when you put him in the three hole, you just put him in a spot to just not be successful. I don't know how else to say it. When you put him in the nine hole, it's kind of disrespectful to his talent."
It's an intriguing take. The Cardinals could certainly try putting Winn at the top of the lineup and see what happens. Perhaps it could lead to him finding more overall offensive consistency.

Valkyries fans will love Kelsey Plum's Gabby Williams take appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Golden State Valkyries are only in the second year of their existence in the WNBA. And yet here they are, needing to win just three more games to secure the franchise's first championship after grabbing a 68-64 victory in Game 1 against the Atlanta Dream. Both teams had rough shooting nights to begin the WNBA Finals, but in the end, it was the Valkyries that executed when it mattered the most.
With points being at a premium, having someone who can simply generate open looks all while having the ability to make difficult shots could make all the difference. The Valkyries have that in star guard Gabby Williams, who finished with a game-high 26 points on 8-22 shooting from the field.
The signing of Williams this past offseason has certainly elevated a middling playoff team to a full-blown ***** le contender. And for two-time WNBA champion and five-time All-Star Kelsey Plum, she has always seen Williams as this impactful of a player even when she was still more of a role player with the Seattle Storm.

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is expected to participate in practice Monday, Sept. 14, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
SOURCE: NFL.com
Why It Matters: Henderson was not available to play in Week 1 because of the injury but is off to a good start this week. Fantasy players should monitor his progress this week to see if he will be cleared to play. He will share playing time with Rhamondre Stevenson if active and can be a No. 2 running back or flex option in leagues.

One of the biggest and most controversial trades happened this offseason when the L.A. Rams traded for Myles Garrett. The organization entered the season with more expectations than ever, but its campaign began in embarrassing fashion, as the San Francisco 49ers dominated the Rams 27–7 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia.

The fans were disappointed with star pass rusher Myles Garrett, as his performance was really disappointing and he made virtually no impact in his Rams debut.
During a recent episode of "The Odd Couple," Fox Sports Radio host Rob Parker criticized several members of the Rams before turning his attention to the former Cleveland Browns star and saying:
"Myles Garrett was so terrible. He was a zero. He had nothing. Go look in the box score. His name's not even in there. You know why? He didn't do anything. No pressures. No sacks. No tackles. Nothing—not even a half tackle. Nothing. I would have rather had Mrs. Garrett from 'The Facts of Life' than Myles Garrett on my football team last night. That's how bad it was."

LSU football faces Louisiana Tech on Saturday night in what should be a tune-up game for the Tigers, though not much tuning is needed after LSU beat Clemson 51-10 in Week 1.
LSU is a heavy favorite vs. the Bulldogs. Last week, LSU's second team got plenty of reps in a lopsided victory, and the depth chart could be emptied again today. If LSU starts fast and builds a healthy lead in the first half, a handful of true freshmen will get significant time in the second half.
The SEC schedule is a grind. And in the era of the 12-team playoff and extended seasons, developing depth can be the difference between missing the College Football Playoff or going on a run. LSU has the raw talent to make noise in Lane Kiffin's first year, but LSU will need some young guys to step up.
Here are four true freshmen to watch when LSU football takes on Louisiana Tech.
Lamar Brown was the headline piece of Lane Kiffin's first high school signing class. ESPN ranked Brown as the No. 1 overall recruit in the country and he was heralded as a player ready to make an immediate impact, despite not enrolling early.

There are now many signs pointing to Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase being full-go for the team's season-opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That's a good starting point for the latest Bengals player to indicate his only goals for the 2026 season are to win the Super Bowl.
Speaking during a Sept. 10 news conference at Paycor Stadium, Chase said he felt good and has taken on his normal workload in practice. Chase injured his knee during an Aug. 25 training camp practice when he collided with cornerback DJ Turner II.
The missed practices for Chase that followed the collision were precautionary, he said. Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor said he anticipated both Chase and receiver Tee Higgins would be available for the Sept. 13 home opener, and Chase was listed in the Sept. 9-10 injury reports as a full participant in practice.

With health seemingly no longer threatening his ability to begin the season on time, Chase is set to begin his sixth NFL season with Super Bowl aspirations, but no personal or statistical aims he felt were worth mentioning during his Sept. 10 news conference.

AMES — The Jimmy Rogers era began on a positive note as Iowa State football routed Southeast Missouri State, 38-10, in the season-opener at Jack Trice Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 5.
The Cyclones jumped to a 14-0 lead and held a 28-7 edge at the half. They never relented from there.
Quarterback Jaylen Raynor completed 8-of-16 passes for 184 yards, two passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns. Aiden Flora added a rushing touchdown. Easton Miller and Vince Benetti each caught touchdown passes. The Cyclones defense tallied six sacks, led by defensive end Isaac Terrell.
The Cyclones hit the road next week for the annual Cy-Hawk game, which will take place at Kinnick Stadium on Sept. 12. Until then, here are some likes and dislikes from the Cyclones' season-opening victory:

Texas A&M's season opener vs. Missouri State kicks off on Saturday night, and after a productive preseason, coach Mike Elko, entering Year 3 at the helm after leading the Aggies to the College Football Playoff last season, is confident that his revamped roster is ready for battle, facing the new nine-game SEC schedule that features road tests vs. LSU, Missouri, Alabama, South Carolina, and Oklahoma.
Last week, Mike Elko's first in-season press conference revealed that a pair of redshirt freshmen will miss the season due to injury: running back Tiger Riden and defensive tackle Chace Sims were set to compete for reserve roles but will now have to wait until the 2027 offseason to compete for rotational roles.
Combined with former five-star wide receiver Jerome Myles and former four-star OL Nelson McGuire departing the program for unknown reasons, Elko's various media appearances on Wednesday did not include any new injury updates, which is obviously great news for the Aggies, who will heavily rely on their depth at every position to get through the nine-game conference schedule.
Most importantly, senior linebacker Daymion Sanford is on track to make his debut after suffering a lower-body injury to his fibula during the Maroon & White Game, as Elko stated that Sanford remains a "game-time decision" but is on track to play vs. Missouri State.
"Right now, yes. Probably still a little bit of a game-time decision. To ask me right now, I anticipate him being out there," Elko told TexAgs about Sanford on Monday.

Following their preseason finale on Thursday, the New England Patriots received a needed weekend off as the front office dwindled the roster down to 53 players.
That group was back at Gillette Stadium on Tuesday for their first regular season practice in preparation for the Seattle Seahawks.
As they did, they remained without running back TreVeyon Henderson after the second-year back suffered an ankle injury early last week. Henderson was present in the locker room in good spirits and walking normally, but has not yet fully been cleared to return to work.
The only other non-participant on the roster was tight end Cameron Latu, who was claimed off of waivers on Monday. Latu was in the locker room ahead of practice after just arriving to the team.
Fellow waiver claim, Darius Muasau, was on the practice field.

NEW YORK — The electronic voice sounded almost embarrassed, as it made the call that everyone on the tennis court could see was wrong.
Monday at the U.S. Open, No. 21 seed Anna Kalinskaya led Russian compatriot Anna Blinkova 6-4, 2-2, 40-15 on Court 5.
After a short rally, Kalinskaya sent a forehand crosscourt that bounced comfortably inside the singles sideline. As it rose off the blue acrylic, Kalinskaya turned for the end of the game — before an almost plaintive shout of "out" echoed across the court.
Kalinskaya looked like she had seen a ghost, and immediately requested a replay. The chair umpire made the announcement, but nothing came up. Eventually, the screen showed a ball bouncing several feet away from the nearest line, but it was a replay of a serve that had nothing to do with the point in question.
In a statement sent to The Athletic, a USTA spokesperson said: "At 40-15 in the fifth game of the second set, a malfunction with the ELC Live system caused a shot hit by Kalinskaya to be inaccurately called out.

WEST ALLIS, WI – IndyCar continues to make adjustments to its doubleheader schedule at the Milwaukee Mile. With rain continuing at the track, the first race of the weekend – the Snap-On Makers and Fixers 250 – will not resume at 8 a.m. Sunday as planned after its Saturday evening postponement.
The second race – the Snap-On Milwaukee Mile 250 – will begin at 1 p.m., before the Snap-On Makers and Fixers 250 resumes. Then, IndyCar plans to resume the first race at approximately 6 p.m., about three hours after the checkered flag for the second race.
Pato O'Ward – who won at the Milwaukee Mile in 2024 – leads the first race through 90 laps, with Felix Rosenqvist and Alexander Rossi behind him. Alex Palou will start on the pole with O'Ward joining him on the front row for the second race.
This is now the second race of the IndyCar season that won't be completed on the day it was supposed to. The Music City Grand Prix was delayed from July 19 to July 20 after heavy rain in Lebanon, Tennessee. Before the Music City Grand Prix, IndyCar hadn't delayed any portion of a race a day since 2018 at Barber Motorsports Park.
IndyCar still intends to do all 250 laps and miles for both races. National Weather Service anticipates that showers and thunderstorms will continue until 3 p.m. (2 p.m. CT) in West Allis, Wisconsin.

Colston Loveland arrived in Chicago as a first-round pick and finished his rookie season as the TE15 in points per game. That number sits well below where the fantasy community is now drafting him. His price has climbed to the 4/5 turn this summer. Should fantasy managers pay up for Loveland in 2026?
The surface stats do not tell the full story here, and the gap between the two is enormous.
Loveland spent the first half of his rookie season inexplicably trapped behind Cole Kmet. It was not until Week 16 that he consistently played more than 80% of the snaps. Unsurprisingly, that is right around when he started to break out.

At a glance, you'd think that Marquette men's soccer started their season off okay at worst. It's hard to say any two game set that avoids putting a number in the loss column is a bad thing, and the Golden Eagles are 1-0-1 after two matches.
However, because Marquette got outshot 12-5 by Oakland in the opener, including 9-2 after halftime, the Golden Eagles are carrying a heavy shot deficit into the second week of the season. 23 against, just 14 for.
That's bad enough at face value, obviously, but it's a bigger problem that you might realize right away. Last year, Marquette outshot Big East opponents 118-77 overall. That's 14.8 to 9.6 on average. That's good, of course, but MU got outscored 11-5 in those eight matches, and four of those five goals came in Marquette's lone win of Big East play last season.
As we talked about when the United Soccer Coaches preseason poll came out, non-conference play is not going to challenge Marquette the same way that Big East play will. None of MU's non-con opponents were earning preseason votes — including the Oakland and Saint Mary's teams that just outshot the Golden Eagles — but all three Big East squads that were in the preseason top 25 are on the league schedule for Marquette.
So, you can see the problem with MU getting pushed a little bit too hard by their non-conference opponents. Yes, there's a lot of newcomers on this roster, so easing into the season makes sense as the team comes together. Just three of those newcomers started against SMC on Sunday, and just three more played more than a handful of minutes. For the most part, Marquette's lineup is guys who are familiar with how head coach David Korn wants things to go… and while the record is fine, the pathway there — especially giving up a lead twice against Oakland to settle for a draw — has been rocky at best.

The Los Angeles Lakers haven't given up on trying to ***** forward Jonathan ***** inga. They have been trying to acquire the free agent since early this summer, when they reportedly met with him and promised him a starting role.
After negotiations on a potential sign-and-trade deal with the Atlanta Hawks went dead a few weeks ago, they apparently restarted again, according to Kurt Helin of NBC Sports. Helin reported that the talks are now centered around Jaden Hardy, a guard Los Angeles acquired last month when it traded center Deandre Ayton to the Washington Wizards.
Now, Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report says that the ***** inga saga will be resolved soon, as the Lakers compete with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the services of the 23-year-old.
"Comes down to Minnesota or Los Angeles," Fischer said. "Kuminga, I think, has seemed to prefer going to the Lakers. They have the most opportunity to negotiate there. …
"The Lakers have been selling him on this vision of having him start next to Luka [Doncic]. They're gonna have the spending power in theory to reward him next year if all goes according to plan. That's going to come to some type of conclusion here soon. I thought it could have happened last week, but I still have been told nothing to suggest that ***** inga's situation is not coming down to the Lakers or the Timberwolves."

SYDNEY (AP) — Motor neurone disease is not likely to stop Jai Arrow trying to bring up a career milestone in Australia's National Rugby League.
The NRL is planning an exception to its rules to allow the veteran forward a chance to be on the field for the South Sydney Rabbitohs in his 99th and 100th rugby league games for the club, if only for a few moments.
Arrow, 31, was diagnosed in May with Motor neurone disease, which MND Australia describes as an umbrella term for a group of progressive neurological conditions where the motor neurones degenerate. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common form, and ALS is often called Lou Gehrig's disease.
As part of an agreement with the Rabbitohs, the NRL granted South Sydney special dispensation to include Arrow as an extra player on Tuesday's official team list and an extra substitution in their rotation for the game against the Gold Coast ******* ans on Saturday. A similar dispensation will be allowed for South Sydney's last regular season game against Sydney Roosters.
According to the NRL, Arrow will get dressed in South Sydney playing kit for the two NRL game days in the Rabbitohs dressing room, lead the Rabbitohs team onto the field of play, be the team's first interchange of the match within the first few seconds after the opening whistle without taking part in any play during the game, and be able to sit on the interchange bench for the remainder of the game in his playing kit.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has spoken candidly about the fallout from his Liverpool exit, admitting the reaction to his move to Real Madrid has been painful, while also expressing hope that supporters may eventually see his decision in a broader context.
According to Mail, the former Liverpool right-back has addressed the abuse that followed his departure in the summer of 2025, when he ended his long ******* ociation with the club and signed a six-year deal with Real Madrid. The transfer was completed for £10 million, with the Spanish club accelerating the move ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.
The circumstances around the deal shaped much of the anger. Alexander-Arnold allowed his contract to run down, limiting Liverpool's ability to secure a larger fee for a player who had come through the academy and spent 20 years at the club. For many supporters, that detail mattered as much as the move itself.
IMAGO | Anfield Index
Alexander-Arnold made clear that some of the response went far beyond football disappointment. He said: "Abuse online and threats made via social DMs or in other ways are a sad part of life in 2026 if you're in the public eye and doing things that create a lot of attention. I choose to keep those things away from me because they don't feel real."

UConn legend Geno Auriemma believes WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert can't control what players say, but there is one thing she can do.
Look, the WNBA is practically suffocating under its own growth right now. Every single week, actual basketball gets shoved to the backseat so the internet can fight another exhausting culture war.
That frustration finally blew wide open when Sophie Cunningham took a sledgehammer to Cathy Engelbert's leadership. Cunningham didn't hold back, basically suggesting Engelbert is out of her depth and could halt the future progress and development of the WNBA.
When players are openly talking about replacing the commissioner, you know there's an issue.
However, her job hasn't been made easy by all the outside noise involving the transgender situation, and former NBA players like Enes Kanter and Royce White.

Jamal Musiala's return to fitness has been long and complicated.
First, Musiala endured a long spell on the sidelines after suffering a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle. Then, after earning valuable minutes at the World Cup, the 23-year-old suffered another unnerving setback, collapsing in Bayern's Telekom Cup clash against RB Leipzig, and again in his side's final preseason friendly against Heidenheim.
Despite overwhelming support for Musiala, rumours have started circulating linking Bayern to a replacement for Musiala after learning about his condition. However, according to Steffan **** berger of Sport1 (via iMiaSanMia), discussions about replacing the German international are a non-starter as the club plans to provide the time and support Musiala requires.
Signing a replacement for Jamal Musiala has never been up for discussion at the club. Bayern believe they're very well equipped in the position with Ismael Saibari, who was signed when Bayern were already aware of Musiala's problems, as well as Serge Gnabry and Lennart Karl who can provide additional cover. In addition, the club does not want to give Musiala the feeling that they're giving up on him. The 23-year old will get all the support and time he needs, and Bayern are also relaxed because the team had already performed exceptionally well without Musiala last season. Therefore, there's no rush and no panic at the club – and Musiala can take his time and slowly regain a key role in the team.
Fans long for the day of seeing Bambi back to his brilliant best, prancing around bamboozled defenders. But some things are paramount to football.

The Jacksonville Jaguars announced a pair of roster moves before the team's second preseason game.
Continuing to bolster the offensive line depth, the Jaguars signed Timothy McKay. To make room on the roster, Jacksonville released defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna.
McKay went undrafted in 2025 out of NC State. He spent the year on the Washington Commanders' practice squad, not appearing in a regular-season game.
In college, McKay made 35 starts, playing both guard and tackle.
This addition comes as the Jaguars are navigating injuries up front. Currently, the team is without Patrick Mekari and Wyatt Milum, although his absence is expected to be brief. Cole Van Lanen was activated off the PUP list on Thursday.
