One bad throw led to a 10-minute delay and frightened crowd at Yankee Stadium during the Bombers’ matchup against the Baltimore Orioles. A Yankees cameraman was struck in the head after Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson overthrew the ball to first.

The San Diego Padres entered the 2023 season with exceptionally high expectations.
And justifiably so.
Ownership committed to spending big to unseat the Los Angeles Dodgers at the top of the NL West.
Manny Machado signed an extension, Xander Bogaerts got a massive contract and the team added Matt Carpenter and Nelson Cruz.
Fernando Tatis Jr. was expected back from a PED suspension early in the season. And 2022 deadline acquisitions Josh Hader and Juan Soto brought excitement in San Diego to a fever pitch.
Yet more than halfway through the season, the Padres are essentially buried.
The Mavericks and restricted free agent Grant Williams are finalizing a four-year, $53 million contract as part of a three-team sign-and-trade agreement with the Celtics and Spurs, sources said.
All-Star center fielder Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels had surgery on his fractured left wrist, two days after he was injured while fouling off a pitch.
Pete Alonso is going to get his Home Run Derby grudge match against Julio Rodriguez in the first round of Monday’s Home Run Derby in Seattle.
The Final Four of the NBA’s new in-season tournament will take place on Dec. 7 and 9 in Las Vegas, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Reds rookie sensation Elly De La Cruz drew the suspicion of Nationals manager Dave Martinez on Wednesday. Martinez had the umpires examine the knob handle of De La Cruz’s bat, which he was ultimately allowed to keep.
In a later at-bat, De La Cruz came to the plate without the knob handle attached and proceeded to clobber a monstrous 455-foot, no-doubt home run. Before beginning his home run trot, the 21-year-old appeared to gesture toward the umpire.
De La Cruz could be seen pointing to his knob-less bat before pointing in the direction of home plate umpire Quinn Wolcott.
After breaking his wrist fouling off a pitch during the Angels‘ 10–3 loss to the Padres on Monday, center fielder Mike Trout has undergone surgery.
The future Hall of Famer underwent the procedure on Wednesday, according to manager Phil Nevin. Nevin addressed the injury before Los Angeles’s series finale against San Diego Wednesday evening.
“I just talked to Mike; he just got out of surgery. He feels great,” Nevin said. “The surgery went well. We spoke to the doctor a minute ago, but it sounds like everything went great.”
Trout is slashing .263/.369/.
Stephen A. Smith was hosting callers during a recent episode of his podcast, The Stephen A. Smith Show, when one individual’s hypothetical question seemed to light a fire within the 55-year-old.
Muhammed, who called in from Seattle, asked Smith whether he would rather have Stephen Curry or Trae Young at their current ages heading into the 2023-24 season. After hearing the question, Smith almost hung up the phone in disgust.
Before declaring that his choice was unequivocally Curry, Smith went nuclear on the unsuspecting caller, labeling his question as “idiotic.
