In what sounds like the baseball equivalent of the “My dog ate my homework” excuse, New York Yankees struggling outfielder Alex Verdugo is blaming being allergic to his batting gloves as to why he has been playing awful this year.
Speaking with NJ.com, Verudo, who the Yankees acquired this past season, says the team recently made him meet with various doctors and even an allergist to get a closer look into why his hands continued to develop rashes and blisters, which they believe could explain his poor .235 batting average – nearly 50 points below his career .281 average.

Former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel last coached a college football game more than a decade ago. In that span, the NCAA landscape – not just football – has changed more frequently than Oregon’s uniforms.

Where is the car that killed Dale Earnhardt? How’s THAT for a loaded question to kick off your Saturday?! There’s deep state, and then there’s deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep NASCAR state.
This is deep, so strap in.
The internet is running wild today with conspiracy theories – when is it not? – over what exactly happened to Dale Earnhardt’s 2001 Daytona 500 car. Didn’t think that’s how we would start a big weekend, but here we are.
This is why we need college football back.

Rhyne Howard scored a season-high 30 points to help the Dream overcome a massive night from Skylar Diggins-Smith, but it was Tina Charles who sealed the deal at the buzzer.
Rhyne Howard returned from the Paris Olympic a newly minted Bronze medalist, thanks to her performance as a member of Team USA’s 3×3 basketball team.
But, it didn’t take long for her to re-adjust to five-on-five, the form of basketball the 6 ‘2 guard is most familiar with.

Clark finished with 29 points, 10 assists, and 5 rebounds, as the Fever held off a furious Mercury rally to pull out a 98-89 win.
Caitlin Clark is having the kind of professional success that many envisioned when she dominated the NCAA last year, and appears to be particularly rejuvenated after a month-long Olympic break. In Friday’s 98-89 win over the Mercury, Clark exploded for 29 points, 10 assists, and 5 rebounds in front of a raucous crowd at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
