NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees ace Gerrit Cole had an internal brace put in his right elbow as part of Tommy John surgery on March 11 and while not projecting a date for his mound return understands the usual rehabilitation takes about 14 months.
Cole, the 2023 AL Cy Young Award winner, spoke with reporters on Monday for the first time since the operation by Los Angeles Dodgers head team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache.
“I’m under the impression that it’s the same recovery time, 14 months or so,” he said. “I hope it comes back like maybe like a fresh new set of tires.
It wasn’t a huge surprise that quarterback Quinn Ewers had to wait until the final day of the 2024 NFL draft to hear his name called. But the seventh round was much later than most, including Ewers, anticipated.
“It was very unexpected, and I think that the toughest part about it is just the amount of unexpected occurrences there were,” Ewers told ESPN’s Todd Archer last week. “But I’m glad that I ended up where I ended up. To go as late as I did, I’m glad it’s a good spot.”
So why did the former No.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Iva Jovic, a 17-year-old, and Emilio Nava, a 23-year-old, claimed French Open wild-card invitations from the U.S. Tennis Association on Monday by finishing atop the standings based on points earned at tournaments across five weeks.
Jovic will participate in her third consecutive Grand Slam event; she reached the second round at the U.S. Open last September and the Australian Open in January. She is ranked 120th this week.
At Flushing Meadows, Jovic, then 16, became the youngest American to win a women’s main-draw match at the U.S.

The first wave of WNBA preseason games over the weekend also brought the first big wave of training camp roster cuts. Due to the limited number of roster spots on WNBA teams and the salary cap restrictions, many WNBA training camp attendees don’t make teams. Teams will sign anywhere from 18-21 (ish) players to camp, and cut their rosters down to 11-12 by the time the season starts.
Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson is a real one.
Wilson announced her Nike signature shoes, the A’Ones, to the world in May 2024 and dropped a first look earlier this year. As you might suspect, the A’One was well worth the wait. The details on the shoe are immaculate, and the first colorway ― a brilliant pink that will make you weep ― had so many people talking about them. Willson’s shoes are officially releasing this week, and ahead of the launch, she gifted her Aces teammates and coaches a pair.
The expectations are still very high for Notre Dame football in 2025, even after falling short to Ohio State in the College Football Championship game.
The Irish return plenty of star power including running back Jeremiyah Love and cornerback Leonard Moore. Others are on the verge of stardom, and the collection of talent is enough for Fox Sports Joel Klatt to have the Irish as his No. 6 team prior to fall camp.
It’s a good spot for Notre Dame, but one that could surely rise as the season gets closer.
The college athletics world is currently awaiting a judge in California to rule on the House settlement that will change the way athletes are paid in this new era of NIL. But, one of the lawyers representing the plaintiffs in their case against the NCAA has come out against Donald Trump and Nick Saban for their recent comments in the ‘eleventh hour’ on an executive order needed to fix NIL.
Last week, President Donald Trump gave the commencement speech at Alabama to kickoff graduation weekend, with Nick Saban acting as the ‘warm up’ act inside Coleman Coliseum.
