Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo was placed on the 10-day IL on Thursday due to post-concussion syndrome stemming from a head injury he sustained in May.
Speaking with The Athletic, Rizzo discussed the organization’s handling of his head injury, indicating that he “loved the way they handled it” and stating that he doesn’t feel anyone “missed” a proper diagnosis of his concussion.
“I don’t think anyone missed it, honestly,” Rizzo said. “We did the test. I passed the concussion test. I sat out for four days, played, felt fine and didn’t feel anything.

If you’re going to about Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love, and doing it within earshot of linebacker De’Vondre Campbell, you’d better be dressed to the nines.
CBS Sports analyst Adam Schein was the one who learned this the hard way and wound up getting an unwanted fashion critique from Campbell.
Schein was highly critical of Love and the rest of the Packers. He even went so far as to call the team’s situation a debacle and that Love “can’t play football.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone addressed the baserunning incident involving slugger Giancarlo Stanton during New York’s win over the Astros on Saturday.
During the bottom of the third inning, Stanton had the chance to score from second base on a single from DJ LeMahieu. While 99% of MLB players would have been able to reach home plate without a hitch, Stanton was thrown out after showcasing a complete lack of speed on the base paths.
After the game, Boone was asked about the decision to send Stanton home on the play and whether or not the outfielder was fully healthy.
The contentious relationship between newly signed Dolphins cornerback Eli Apple and star wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been well covered.
However, the two veterans have no choice but to get along following the knee injury to Jalen Ramsey that will keep the club’s top corner out for the start of the season. The team signed Apple after the Ramsey injury took place.

Billy Horschel took moving day to heart as he took the lead and put himself inside the FedEx Cup Playoffs projection.
Billy Horschel has come a long way from shooting an 84 at The Memorial Tournament two months ago. That moment was a turning point for Horschel.
He has shot three days in the 60s, including a bogey-free 63 on Saturday at the Wyndham Championship. The former Florida Gator sits in the driver’s seat. His third-round score pushed him to 18-under and tied for first with Lucas Glover.
The salad days for the Golden State Warriors appear to be in the rearview mirror, but Andre Iguodala revealed that during the team’s peak, anyone could’ve handled one of their practices without breaking a sweat.
Iguodala was on the Par 3 Podcast hosted by ex-NBA player JR Smith. Now, as you could probably surmise from the name, that’s a golf podcast. Iguodala is a golfer and on the show, he talked about how easy it was to get a round of golf in when the Warriors’ practice sessions were so short.
Missouri football coach Eli Drinkwitz addressed the media on Saturday in order to express his concerns about the realignment of college football conferences.
With a slew of changes coming to college sports in regard to the size and structure of some of the biggest conferences, Drinkwitz was outspoken about the impact the new conference alignment will have on travel, and how that can affect young student athletes.
In a passionate monologue, Drinkwitz questioned whether the decision-makers considered “the cost” these moves would have on athletes.
“I thought the transfer window, I thought the portal was closed. Oh, that’s just for the student-athletes.
The New York Yankees won Saturday’s game against Justin Verlander and the Houston Astros, no thanks to the effort from Giancarlo Stanton.
Stanton has had to deal with numerous hamstring injuries throughout his career; especially this season. And while it makes sense to be protective of your health, the effort and speed he put into trying to score during Saturday’s game was…disappointing.
With the Astros and Yankees tied at one in the bottom of the third inning, two outs and Stanton on second base, D.J. LeMahieu laced a single to right field.
Cleveland Cavaliers and Spanish national team star Ricky Rubio has announced his plans to take a break from basketball to focus on his mental health.
Rubio released a statement on Saturday announcing his decision.
“I have decided to stop my professional activity to take care of my mental health. I want to thank all the support I have received from the [Spanish national team] to understand my decision,” Rubio wrote in a statement, per The New York Post.
“Today #family makes more sense than ever. Thank you.
