For the first time since the 2016 season, the Houston Astros are out of the postseason before the American League Championship Series. And for all the difficult teams they’ve faced in recent years, the Astros were eliminated by the 86-win Detroit Tigers.
The Tigers entered the Wild Card series as massive underdogs on the road against the Astros. Understandably so, considering their entire roster is making just $18.8 million in salary this season. As Spotrac noted, there are 62 individual players making more than that this year.
The Los Angeles Dodgers issued a statement regarding legendary ex-pitcher and Spanish-language broadcaster Fernando Valenzuela. The statement relayed that “El Toro” will remain away from the booth this postseason but added positive news on his recovery.
Last week, fans in the Southland became increasingly worried after Valenzuela, an 11-year Dodgers pitcher who played a key role in bringing a World Series title to LA in 1981, suddenly left his obligations on Sept. 24.
It was later confirmed that he was hospitalized due to an undisclosed health condition.

Bethpage Black is hosting the Ryder Cup for the first time next year. Here are five important facts related to the course and competition.
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — Just as nothing compares to the Ryder Cup, no place in golf is like Bethpage State Park, the monstrous piece of property that sits smack dab in the middle of Long Island, right on the Nassau and Suffolk County lines.
The Park prides itself on providing the public with five outstanding golf courses, a testament to what golf is all about.
The whole situation between the Boston Bruins and the guy they thought would be their No. 1 goalie this season, Jeremy Swayman, is very much in flux, and in a new sign of the uncertainty surrounding whether or not they can cut a deal with the 24-year-old netminder, the B’s have signed a new backup goalie.
That could mean absolutely nothing or it could mean a lot.
The Bruins have claimed goalie Jiri Patera off of waivers from the Vancouver Canucks, and the expectation is that he’ll be a potential option to backup defacto starter Joonas Korpisalo.
