The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired left-handed pitcher Kris Bubic before the 2026 MLB trade deadline. The former All-Star has yet to make has Dodgers debut. Bubic has been recovering from elbow and shoulder injury concerns. According to Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times, Bubic is going to join the Dodgers on Monday. However, he is not being activated from the injured list yet.
"Kris Bubic is set to join the Dodgers in Cincinnati, per sources. But because he made a rehab appearance yesterday, he isn't expected to be activated right away," Lee reported.
The fact that he is joining the team is encouraging. It seems as if he could be activated fairly soon, even if the move doesn't happen Monday.

TROY — It wasn't the best showing for Alabama State football in the first half against Troy, but luckily, the Mighty Marching Hornets had a chance to inject some life into the Alabama State faithful.
In a rare FCS and FBS battle of the bands, the Mighty Marching Hornets went toe-to-toe with Troy's Sound of the South during the halftime of Alabama State and Troy's game on Saturday, Sept. 12.
It was battle of different styles, an HBCU band against a more traditional college band, but who claimed the halftime show? See what the Montgomery Advertiser observed during halftime.
Winner: Sound of the South
This might've been the closest category when it came to the two performances, but what the Sound of the South did to win this category was its ability to switch up the beat, the sound level and how quickly it could make an impact when needed.

Dallas Cowboys RB Malik Davis (hip) was limited during practice Friday, Sept. 11, and has been ruled out for Week 1.
SOURCE: Todd Archer - ESPN
Why It Matters: Davis suffered the injury during practice, so fantasy players can keep an eye out to see how long he may be sidelined. Javonte Williams will see most of the work at running back in Week 1 and can be at least a No. 2 back in fantasy leagues.

Winning the program's first state championship in 2025 - in his first season no less - hasn't affected St. Ignatius football coach JaJuan Lawson or his Wildcats one bit. Despite losing 38 seniors to graduation, including eight All-West Catholic Athletic League performers, St. Ignatius has been perhaps the most impressive team in the WCAL through two weeks. The Wildcats have recorded back-to-back identical 42-7 wins over two-time North Bay state champions San Marin-Novato and Marin Catholic-Kentfield.
Senior running back Luke Tribolet has been a workhorse with 34 carries for 208 yards and four touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Isaac Liu has been terrific with 23 completions in 32 pass attempts for 350 yards and five touchdowns, three to junior Davion Moffett.
The defense has exceeded all expectations, led by junior linebacker Jack Riedy (12 tackles) and sophomore defensive back Casey Nelson (two interceptions, two caused fumbles, two recoveries).
"I don't think winning a state ***** le created any extra pressure on these kids," Lawson said. "We play in the most difficult league in Northern California. We're trying to get back to the top of the league honestly and that's what drives us. … New group, new goals."
The new goal is getting some revenge on Friday night and to beat one of the best teams in Northern California when the Wildcats visit Acalanes-Lafayette (2-0). The Wildcats, ranked seventh in the Metro Area, lost a wild 42-35 game last season in San Francisco to Acalanes, which is currently ranked No. 5 in the Bay Area.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart announced a partnership with PSD Underwear earlier this month. On the surface, it looked like a standard marketing deal. The story behind it is not.
Years before the announcement, Dart met PSD founder Curt Flaitz and Flaitz's son, Rookie, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia just before his second birthday. Rookie finished chemotherapy in January. When his hair finally grew back enough for a first haircut, the family asked him what he wanted it to look like. He did not hesitate.
"When I wrestle my brothers, I'm Jaxson Dart. When I wear my chain, I feel like Jaxson. And I wanted my hair to look like Jaxson too," Rookie said.
Coming later today: A heartwarming story on Jaxson Dart and his bond with Rookie, a young cancer survivor. pic.twitter.com/Z8G4CBbGVb
Dart invited him to the Giants facility so the haircut could happen there.

White Sox could lose AL Central lead thanks to one major problem originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The 2026 season for the Chicago White Sox has been magical. They've gone from worst to first, and entering September, they sit 3.0 games up on the Cleveland Guardians for the AL Central lead.
Their odds of making the postseason are high, but there is still plenty of time before they can win the AL Central. That's especially the case due to a significant issue that has popped up this August.
As ESPN's David Schoenfield highlighted, the White Sox have a serious problem on their hands with their struggling starting rotation.
"The White Sox went 14-14 in August despite the rotation posting a 6.21 ERA; only the Athletics and Colorado Rockies had a worse rotation ERA in the month," Schoenfield writes.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stefanos Tsitsipas was not surprised that Nick Kyrgios was suspended from tennis for drugs.
"Pretty much expected, to be honest," Tsitsipas said. "I am surprised it came so late, though."
Kyrgios was banned earlier this month after he revealed he tested positive for cocaine in June when he was in Spain to play at an event. The Australian could be suspended for four years, though a lighter punishment is expected.
Tsitsipas was asked about Kyrgios on Monday after upsetting No. 10-seeded Arthur Fils in the first round of the U.S. Open.
"I mean, to be entirely honest with you, I knew about this before the announcement. Myself, I knew about it," Tsitsipas said.

Shubman Gill's presence added a special touch to the jersey launch of Fazilka Falcons ahead of the Sher-E-Punjab T20 League 2026.

The India captain, who will lead the Fazilka-based side, personally designed the team's jersey, while the kit was unveiled at an event in Chandigarh.

The jersey launch became a family moment with Gill's father Lakhwinder Singh Gill among those present for the unveiling. The design draws inspiration from Punjab's culture, traditions and heritage while giving the team a modern identity.
Fazilka Falcons owner Khushpreet Singh Aulakh said the involvement of Gill made the jersey particularly meaningful.

"Today is a very special occasion for Fazilka Falcons and for everyone ***** ociated with the team. Having Shubman Gill personally design the jersey makes it even more meaningful because it brings together cricket and the rich culture of Punjab. The design reflects the pride, traditions and spirit of our state, while also giving the team a strong identity of its own," he said.
The jersey was unveiled on National Sports Day, adding significance to an event celebrating sport and athletes. The Falcons will feature a combination of experienced players and young talent, with Gill leading the team in the inaugural season.

"For the people of Punjab, this jersey is not just a team kit, it represents our culture, our passion for cricket and the dreams of the young players who will be taking the field. We are proud to unveil it on National Sports Day and hope the people of Punjab connect with the jersey and proudly support the Fazilka Falcons throughout the tournament," Aulakh added.

Since the 2026 recruiting cycle came to an end, no greater debate regarding the 2027 class has been quite as heated as the one surrounding the top three running back prospects headlining the class.
Georgia five-star commit Kemon Spell, Tennessee five-star commit David Gabriel Georges and Texas five-star commit Landen Williams-Callis have all been regarded for the past year as three of the best running back prospects we've seen for some time.
All three enter the season as USA TODAY Sports preseason All-America first-team selections as well.
Debate over who is the best of those three is up for interpretation regardless of your fandom or just where you're from. Industry rankings have each of the three within striking distance of each other entering their senior seasons.
While we won't declare a definitive winner in that conversation, USA TODAY Sports will track how each of the three fares week to week as they wrap up prolific high school careers and prepare for the next level.

FLATWOODS In stormy seas, the captain takes the helm. In a Backyard Brawl, the captain gets the ball.
With the heated rivalry game deadlocked at 22-22, Russell won the overtime coin flip and chose defense first against Greenup County.
Red Devils coach TJ Maynard said he and his staff predetermined if they managed to stop the Musketeers, they'd go with the Wildcat formation and repeatedly direct-snap to junior Kaiden Benge.
The plan worked. On third down, Benge bolted from the backfield and found the left side of the end zone from 12 yards out to lift Russell to a 28-22 triumph in extra time at Henry R. Evans Stadium Friday.
"It was so magical to see," said junior Spencer Gross. "I was blocking back side, and he just kept going. He was relentless and didn't give up. When he scored, I knew our mission was complete; I was so happy and joyous to see it. … 'Benny' showed us why he's a leader, why he's a captain."

Manchester City faces Crystal Palace on Friday in both teams' second match of the new Premier League season, with City hoping to build on its last-gasp win in the opener after finishing runner-up last year.
Defenders Marc Guéhi and Joško Gvardiol scored in the 84th and 91st minutes to earn the full three points for Manchester City against Bournemouth in Enzo Maresca's first competitive match since taking over as manager from the departed Pep Guardiola.
Maresca told reporters a day before Friday's game at Selhurst Park in London that new signing Ayyoub Bouaddi is settling in with the team but City will be careful with the 18-year-old Moroccan midfielder signed from Lille.
"In this case we need to go slowly because he is very young and came from a different country," Maresca said. "So no rush for him but for sure he is going to help us now and in the future."
Here's how Manchester City could line up on Friday:

Rick Barnes continues to weave his Tennessee basketball team together through summer practices, trying to build some chemistry as each new face learns the system. Two of those key guards have yet to take part in those practices, however, both battling through injuries.
Tyler Lundblade, Tennessee's first pull out of the transfer portal, has been sidelined with a back injury. Barnes has said the Volunteers are being cautious with him, but he's nearing being back to full strength.
"As with Tyler, he's just putting one foot in front of the other, step by step, just trying to continue to improve, and just work towards getting healthy," Tennessee **** istant coach Amarrow Morgan said today. "He's very close to being there, for sure."
Lundblade shot 43 percent from three-point range last season at Belmont, scoring over 15 points per game. The 6-5 shooting guard was named the Missouri Valley Conference player of the year.
Another guy nearing full strength is Troy Henderson, who returns to Tennessee for his sophomore season. Henderson has been dealing with a shoulder issue that dates back to last season.

Fever guard Lexie Hull reveals why she rejected mysterious $500,000 offer originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Lexie Hull is building more than a strong season with the Indiana Fever. The Fever guard and her former Stanford roommate, Sarah Guller, recently revealed that their company, FORTA Cosmetics, rejected a $500,000 investment offer from an unnamed celebrity.
The reason made the decision particularly notable.
In a video posted on the brand's Instagram account, Hull and Guller described the prospective investor as someone with "very questionable morals." The pair did not identify the celebrity or offer any clues about the person's identity.
The lighthearted video showed Hull and Guller eating French fries, but the message behind it was serious. They were willing to walk away from significant funding rather than attach their growing business to someone who did not align with their values.

The Indiana Fever suffered another tough loss, falling to the New York Liberty 109-102 on Saturday night. The Fever remained within touching distance for most of the game but could not complete the comeback at the Barclays Center.
Caitlin Clark had a tough night with key late misses that hurt the team's chances. However, teammate Aliyah Boston believes Clark has done enough to earn the MVP honor this season.
After their recent defeat to the Dallas Wings, the loss to the Liberty could affect Indiana's chances of a better playoff seed. Both the Liberty and the Wings are among the teams competing with the Fever for a favorable seed, making these recent games even more important.
Stephanie White's squad had a chance to secure a big win today, but fell short despite making a late push. Clark had a hand in the disappointing result, as her missed free throws and a costly foul in the final moments proved to be the turning point in the defeat.

The home side were looking to build on a positive performance last time out, despite suffering defeat away from home against Southampton.
There were little to no chances in the opening moments of the game as both sides looked to settle into possession and establish control.
A good team move almost created the opener as Nwosu found Jai Bansoodeb, who carried the ball towards the edge of the box before firing narrowly over.
The young Bees were first to strike, with Nwosu peeling away from his marker before steering a close-range finish past the goalkeeper following a cross from Coran Madden.
The away side could have levelled as Reece Bastafield fired a free-kick towards goal from 25 yards, but Layton Nicholls stretched to tip the ball onto the post.

Will this be the year that the tight end position finally lives up to its potential? For years we've hoped for a deep group of TEs riddled with talent at every draft point, only to end up with the same elite group and then a bunch of "Play and pray" options. But maybe this season will be different. Our Yahoo ****** ysts take a look at the tight end position and share their breakout candidate for 2026.
Breakouts tend to exist at the intersection of talent and situation. And for Brenton Strange, the talent piece of the equation isn't hard to see. Since joining the Jaguars in '23, Strange's routes and target share have been on an upward trajectory. The Penn State product barely saw the field his rookie season (2.2% target rate), but he evolved into one of Trevor Lawrence's go-to options as Jacksonville marched toward the playoffs.
After returning from a hip injury sustained in Week 5, Strange supplanted Brian Thomas Jr. as the "WR3" (16.6% share) and even led the team in red-zone targets (14). Plus, the added cardio has only allowed us to see more of his athletic ability, as his yards per route run (9th among all TEs in '25 – min. 10 games played) and YAC per reception picked up between Years 2 and 3.
But I'll admit Strange's situation is, well, strange! The Jaguars traded for and compensated Jakobi Meyers for bringing the passing game to life and got a breakout performance from their 6th-round WR out of the same draft class. Oh, and Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter are still there. The "lot of mouths to feed" argument will keep Strange's draft-cost down, but let's not forget his productivity and utility within this offense. — Chris Allen
After the Rashid Shaheed trade, Johnson was the TE5 in yards per game and TE8 in receptions per game from Week 10 on. With Jordyn Tyson out until the Week 6-9 range, Johnson should start out strong, as this is the same Saints receiving corps as it was during that explosive sample. The Saints have the advantages of playing against the NFC South, playing indoors and operating in the No. 1 neutral pace offense. Johnson is also good! Watch him!

With practice having been over for 30 minutes Thursday, Aug. 20, one Cincinnati Bearcats player remained on the field near the student section.
Doing a version of shadow boxing, he would get into a three-point stance, then rise up, dodging mythical blockers. He then went to the goalpost and worked on a move around it as if it were an all-league left tackle.
Thomas Johnson is one of 22 transfers, coming from UNC-Central, where he had 12 sacks, 49 tackles and 18 tackles for loss. Like several Bearcats, he's trying to prove he belongs in power conference football.
