Angels designated hitter and pitcher Shohei Ohtani is working on another season for the ages: a .305/.408/.665 slash line, 44 home runs and 91 RBIs, to go with a 10–5 record on the mound, 167 strikeouts and a 3.14 ERA.
However, in a way, Ohtani’s season is now 50% over.
Ohtani was diagnosed with a torn UCL after his start against the Reds Wednesday, leading Los Angeles to shut him down on the mound for the season. He is expected to continue to hit this year, but questions about his impending free agency rebound.
The red-hot rookie belted three hits, including a two-run homer, and knocked in three runs in the Blue Jays’ win over the Guardians on Saturday.
With Aaron Rodgers set to make his Jets debut on Saturday, the team’s plans for the star quarterback’s first game with New York have reportedly been revealed ahead of kickoff.
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported that the Jets intend to play Rodgers and the starters for two-to-three series, and up to 20 plays maximum, against the Giants at MetLife Stadium. Garafolo noted the plans remain fluid but fans should expect to see the four-time MVP “quite a bit” in New York’s preseason finale.
The Irish haven’t had a prolific passer in the mold of graduate transfer Sam Hartman since the Jimmy Clausen days in the late 2000s.
Sure, Everett Golson led Notre Dame to a national championship appearance in 2012, and had a cannon for an arm, but he didn’t have the accolades of Hartman, who transferred to South Bend as the ACC’s all-time leading passer at Wake Forest.
Hartman’s debut for Notre Dame on Saturday against Navy in Dublin proved to be everything that Irish fans were hoping for…and more.

Plenty of fans are not pleased with how the top players are performing during the third round of the Tour Championship.
ATLANTA — The heat is borderline unbearable, which has firmed up the golf course and made things difficult for some of the best players in the world.

Hovland continued to play confident golf as he impressed fans with his entire game at the Tour Championship Saturday.
ATLANTA — Viktor Hovland started his day tied for the lead at the Tour Championship, but as he made the turn, he seemed to be the only one crushing East Lake. At one point, the former Oklahoma State golfer held a four-shot lead as he made back-to-back birdies on the par-5 6th and par-4 7th holes.
Hovland continued to build momentum off his historic round of 61 at the BMW Championship.
An unbelievable foul ball mishap gave ESPN producers an unexpected headache on Saturday during Curaçao’s 2–0 international final win over Chinese Taipei at the Little League World Series.
With both teams looking to break through in the midst of a scoreless game, Curaçao’s Nasir El-Ossais took a swing at an inside pitch in the bottom of the fourth inning. Unfortunately for ESPN, however, the 78 mph fastball El-Ossais hit took an unlucky bounce off the righty’s bat, over his shoulder and straight into a camera behind home plate.
The Texas Longhorns are prepared to be villains of the Big 12 this season, and now fans can buy T-shirts letting everyone know they’re ready to “Embrace the Hate.”
That phrase comes directly from the mouth of UT athletic director Chris Del Conte. He dropped the phrase during a recent interview with Anwar Richardson.
Texas AD Chris Del Conte told me this morning his message to the program and this years’s mantra is “Embrace The Hate” because they know people are mad at them for leaving the Big 12
