The lost another member of their pitching staff to the injured list on Saturday, as righty joined relievers and Pete Fairbanks on the mend. Archer left his Saturday start against the with forearm tightne s. While that's never a promising diagnosis, , and that he Ty Rattie Kids Jersey may mi s only one start.Should that prediction prove to be correct, then the most notable aspect of Archer's stint on the IL will be how Kyle Brodziak Jersey it paved the way for the debut of Jr., whose promotion served as the corresponding move. Honeywell is expected to "open" Sunday's game, setting the table for scheduled starter to take over in the second or third. It will be Honeywell's debut.Honeywell, 26 as of early March, has not pitched in a profe sional contest since 2017. During his absence, he's required four separate elbow operations, including Tommy John surgery and a procedure to decompre s his right ulnar nerve. Honeywell also fractured his arm at one point, resulting in another setback.Prior to those surgeries, Josh Archibald Jersey Honeywell had been considered one of the league's top pitching prospects. Indeed, he made five consecutive Baseball America top-100 prospect lists, and he peaked at No. 11 on Baseball Prospectus' annual list. It's to be seen if Honeywell's body allows him to ever live up to that promise. that Honeywell's fastball Evan Bouchard Kids Jersey had touched 95 mph and that his changeup " Brian Ferlin Women Jersey looked like the legitimate weapon it was before." Archer exited in the third inning, having struck out four batters and held the Yankees to three hits over 2 scorele s innings. The Rays were able to patch together the rest of the game using five relievers, including and for a combined 11 outs.

Phillies' Harper has broken thumb after being hit by pitch June 25 sharefacebooktwitterredditlink SAN DIEGO (AP) Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper has a broken left thumb after being hit by a 97-mph fastball from Blake Snell in the fourth inning Saturday night against the San Diego Padres.The team announced the injury to the reigning NL MVP, who will be out indefinitely. He will undergo further evaluation in NHL Seattle Kraken Women Jersey the next few days.Harper checked his swing and the pitch from Snell rode inside and high toward his shoulder before hitting him on the outside of the left hand. Harper immediately crumbled to the ground and was in visible pain as he held his hand while on his knees for several minutes with the Phillies' trainer attending to him.As Harper was halfway to Philadelphia's dugout, Haydn Fleury Women Jersey he angrily started yelling at Snell and motioning with his injured hand toward the Padres starting pitcher. Snell eventually shouted something back at Harper. Many of the fans at Petco Park fans started to boo Harper after several seconds with Harper shouting at Snell.Harper then appeared to cool down and say, I know, I know to Snell, acknowledging he knew the pitcher didn't mean to hit him with the pitch.Harper, serving as the Phillies designated hitter, was replaced by Johan Camargo.Harper is hitting .318 with 15 home runs, 48 RBIs and a .984 OPS this season in 64 games despite a small tear in the UCL of his right elbow that has prevented him from playing the outfield since April 16. He has tried to avoid season-ending Tommy John surgery with a platelet-rich plasma injection and rest.More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports in this Philipp Grubauer Women Jersey topic National League Major League Baseball Philadelphia Phillies San Diego Padres Bryce Harper Blake Snell Johan Camargo San Diego Padres Philadelphia Phillies share World Cup fans find booze at hotels, Qatar's 1 liquor store Qatar's strict rules regarding alcohol have drawn attention as it hosts the World Cup 1 HOUR AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Sterling leaves England World Cup camp after home break Riley Sheahan Men Jersey -in England forward Raheem Sterling has left his teams World Cup camp in Qatar and returned to the U.K. after a break-in at his home 1 HOUR AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Ronaldo looks to shine like Mbapp and Me si at World Cup Cristiano Ronaldo has been overshadowed by the brilliance of Lionel Me si and Kylian Mbapp so far at the World Cup 1 HOUR AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Ottawa hosts Los Angeles after Giroux's 2-goal game The Ottawa Senators host the Los Angeles Kings after Claude Giroux's two-goal game against the San Jose Sharks in the Senators' 5-2 win 2 HOURS AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Penguins host the Blue Jackets following Kapanen's hat trick The Pittsburgh Penguins host the Columbus Blue Jackets after Kasperi Kapanen's hat trick against the St. Louis Blues in the Chris Driedger Men Jersey Penguins' 6-2 win 2 HOURS AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS

The whole "guarantee victory" thing has probably been beaten to a bloody pulp in the sports world at this point. The Joe Namath thing happened before many of us were born, after all. Still, it's always bold to make definitive declarations and manager Dave Roberts has done just that, regarding his 2020 ballclub. "We are winning the World Series in 2022... We will win the World Series this year, put it on record."- Manager Dave Roberts Dan Patrick Show (@dpshow) What's great about that one is Roberts was asked to fill Chris Driedger Men Jersey in the blank. The Dodgers will win the World Series if ____. And he just basically said "if there's a season and a postseason." It's bold, yeah, but it's also a pretty bo s move to just say, .He doubles down with: "We are winning the World Series. Put it on record."Roberts did, however, finish the original question, adding that the Dodgers will win the World Series if his starting rotation stays Jamie Oleksiak Women Jersey healthy."We are winning the World Series if our starting staff stays healthy," Roberts added. "I know that's vague, but that's my answer. I think it's about our starting pitching, just keeping our guys healthy," The Dodgers are the World Series favorites at 5-1 (via William Hill). SportsLine projects them to have the best record in baseball at 98-64. Yanni Gourde Men Jersey They won 106 games last season. I had them and they'll be number one again the day before the season starts.They are not, however, without question marks. The lineup is scary, but there are concerns there. Will bounce back? Is elbow healthy? The rotation has a lot of talent, but questions of its own. Is right? How will and pitch on the back end? What will they get, if anything, from ? The bullpen is deep, but also faces a season without ( ) for the first time in a while.Remember, the Dodgers have been to the playoffs nine straight years. They've been to six NLCS and three World Series in that time and only won the 2020 World Series. They've won 104-plus games Calle Jarnkrok Women Jersey three times and didn't win it all in any of those seasons.Simply put: It's awfully difficult to win the World Series. Even if the Dodgers are the best bet to win it all, it would be a better bet, if given the chance, to take "the field" Adam Larsson Women Jersey over the Dodgers. Roberts knows all this and still has the confidence to declare his team is going to take the World Series trophy. It's bold. It's confident. I like the moxie. Roberts' opponents in the regular season and then -- a suming the Dodgers make it -- the playoffs won't likely forget this, either. That's fun.

Happy Thursday everyone! It's giving you all the sports news of the day. I am currently in Dallas and yesterday I went to AT&T Stadium for the first time. It was just as ma sive as I expected and has so many amenities. I got to see their elaborate suites, head into the locker room and go on the field. For a football nerd like I am, I loved it all.

Keep an Jakob Pelletier Women Jersey eye on your inbox. Sorry! There was an error proce sing your subscription. Now to the matters at hand. Today we will discu s the latest drama -- trust me, there's a lot to talk about there -- Mac Jones and much more.Let's get to it. What you need to know1. Breaking down the Mets' bizarre week If you've been able to keep up with all the Mets drama lately, I'm giving you a thumbs up (see what I did there?)The team, and their fans, have experienced a lot in the last week or so. From the players booing fans, to apologies and much more. : Sunday: Javy Bez homers, gestures and explains it all --You've heard of fans booing players, but have you seen players boo fans? Bez gave a thumbs down gesture to the crowd and later explained that he was giving fans a taste of their own medicine and letting them feel the hate players often feelTuesday: Players' apology tour, Bez plays hero in win --After backlash, Bez said he never meant to offend anyone and that he loves the fans. also apologized for the gesture. Then during a game against his former team, the , Bez scored the game-winning run and Wednesday: GM Zack Scott's DUI arrest --Acting general manager Zack Scott was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. ESPN's Jeff Pa san reported that Scott attended a fundraiser at owner Steve Cohen's house in Connecticut on the night of the arrest. The Mets released a statement saying, "We were surprised and deeply disappointed to learn this morning about an Michael Frolik Men Jersey alleged DUI involving Zack Scott. We take this matter very seriously."This has been a wild week for the Mets ... and the week isn't even over yet.2. Why the Patriots think Mac Jones is ready The last rookie quarterback to start for the New England Patriots was Drew Bledsoe in 1993 (which was before I was born). Come Week 1 of this season, we will see it once again. Even when the Patriots took quarterback Mac Jones in the first round, Cam Newton was presumed to be the starter, but things change quickly in the .Now Newton is off the team and Jones is getting that starter position.Jones impre sed in training camp and clearly head coach . The young quarterback outplayed his competition and it helped his case that Newton mi sed time due to a misunderstanding over the league's COVID-19 protocols.Patriots offensive coordinator McDaniels on Jones:McDaniels on Jones:: McDaniels on Newton: Last season, Newton went 7-8 as a starter and recorded 10 interceptions and only eight touchdowns.Now, the Sean Monahan Jersey question is whether Jones can do better, especially in a city that is used to having a quarterback that can lead them to championships.3. Po sible landing spots for Ben Simmons Ben Simmons has basically demanded a trade from the Philadelphia 76ers and told the team he does not intend to report for training camp. Simmons' future with the team has been in question for some time. We went over this yesterday, but we aren't fully done with this story yet. As Chris Bengel wrote in the Wednesday newsletter, Daryl Morey has demanded a lot in the past. But now that Simmons wants out, that could change. and said the 76ers need to "get realistic with their demands." , if he chooses to embrace a role more tailored to his abilities:No. 1: Portland Joe Nieuwendyk Kids Jersey Trail BlazersNo. 2: Golden State WarriorsNo. 3: Atlanta HawksNo. 4: Denver NuggetsNo. 5: Minnesota TimberwolvesNo. 6: Memphis GrizzliesNo. 7: Cleveland CavaliersFor commentary on why each team could be a landing spot for Simmons, 4. Will an NFL team go from worst to first? The NFL is unpredictable. A team could be good one year and terrible the next.Pretty much every season, , so don't fret if your team is coming off a losing season -- this time around could be better. Even you Jets fans!! OK, maybe not with the AFC East competition, but you guys get what I'm saying here. The Washington Football Team is the latest team to go from the worst to first in their division, though they only needed seven wins to be the division champs. In the last 15 years, 13 teams have done what Washington pulled off last year and since 2006, 18 teams have pulled it off, so there's statistically a large Tanner Glass Jersey chance it happens again this year.Let's take a look at which teams are most likely to pull this off, with No. 1 being the most likely and No. 8 being the least likely. Here's a look at the list, along with their record last year:No. 1: San Francisco 49ers, 6-10No. 2: Philadelphia Eagles, 4-11-1No. 3: Jacksonville Jaguars, 1-16No. 4: Denver Broncos, 5-11No. 5: Atlanta Falcons, 4-12No. 6: Cincinnati Bengals, 4-11-1No. 7: New York Jets, 2-14No. 8: Detroit Lions, 5-11For full commentary on each team, as well as the odds for each team to win the division, . As far as their competition goes, I think the Eagles have an easy path with such a weak division. The Chiefs, Buccaneers and Bills likely won't give up their No. 1 spot, which means a division championship is most likely out for the Broncos, Falcons and Jets. Even if those teams do slip, I can't see these three beating out the other teams in their division.The Browns and Steelers will likely be fighting for the division title next year over in the AFC North, so even with Joe Burrow back I don't see the Bengals getting past those two. Odds & EndsThe are According to reports, the Here are the Former New England Patriot Wh

However, neither of those teams was this week's biggest riser. That honor belongs to a team on the rise, even after blowing a 4-0 lead Sunday against the Dodgers...13.

No team in the American League has scored more runs (120) than the Angels in 2022, and Los Angeles also leads the AL with 208 hits and 17 stolen bases. Los Angeles sets the bar incredibly high with an AL-leading .323 on-base percentage, and the Angels are No. 2 with 93 walks. Power isn't an i sue for the Angels, either, as Los Angeles ranks in the top two of the American League in home runs (32), slugging percentage (.417), and OPS (.739).The Angels are also near the top of the AL with a .244 batting average, and Boston ranks well below-average in several key offensive categories. The Red Sox are in the bottom five of the AL in runs scored and home runs in 2022, with Boston ranking in the bottom three of the league in stolen bases, walks, and on-base percentage. Los Angeles is deploying an elite pitcher in , and the Angels have a strong run prevention projection in this matchup as a result.Why you should back the Red SoxBoston holds home-field advantage in this matchup and, if nothing else, the Red Sox have more talent than their early-season record suggests. On offense, Boston leads the American League with Tobias Rieder Women Jersey 51 doubles, and the Red Sox are also in the top five of the AL in strikeout avoidance. The Red Sox have a deep roster, and they can also rely on a veteran option on the mound. Left-hander takes the ball for Boston, and has a 3.71 ERA acro s four starts during the 2022 season. Dating back to 2015, Hill has a sterling 3.16 ERA over a very large sample, and left-handed batters are flummoxed by him. In Hill's lengthy career, he has kept left-handed hitters to a .647 OPS, and while the Angels are off to a strong offensive start, they do have one weakne s. Los Angeles has the second-most strikeouts in the American League this season.How to make Angels vs. Red Sox picksSportsLine's model is Nick Cousins Kids Jersey leaning over on the run total, projecting 9.7 combined runs.

The MLB Draft isone step closer to its regular format.The COVID-19 pandemic reduced the 2020 draft to just five rounds from the Christian Fischer Jersey standard 40. This year, the draft will move up to 20 rounds, plus compensation picks and two competitive balance rounds, allowing 612 amateur baseball players to be drafted by MLB clubs.Because the draft was shortened last season, this year's cla s will likely be deeper than in past years. Many college players who would have been drafted in the later rounds of a larger 2020 draft returned to college, which means teams will likely still get value late on Day 3. Don't expect to see manytoken picks this year.MORE: The top of the 2021 cla s is a strong mix of high school shortstops and college arms. Vanderbilt pitchers Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker are the most famous Bobby Hull Women Jersey names in the cla s, while shortstops Marcelo Mayer, Jordan Lawlar, Brady House and Kahlil Watson should all be selected early.

The and are set to start the 2022 World Series on Friday night at Houston's Minute Maid Park. The Astros will be vying for their second championship in the last six years and second in franchise history, while the Phillies are looking to reach the top of the heap for the first time since 2008 and for the third time in franchise history. The Astros reached the Fall Cla sic by sweeping the in the ALCS. Acro s the league, the Phillies took down the in Dickie Moore Kids Jersey five games in the NLCS.In this series, the Astros come in as the heavy favorites. That's because during the regular season Houston topped Philly by 19 games in the standings and by 157 runs in run differential. Yes, the Phillies played the tougher schedule as measured by opponents' average winning percentage, but that's not enough to make up the aforementioned gaps. As well, the Astros come in more rested -- they've played seven playoff games to Philly's 12 -- and they have home-field advantage.All that said, baseball is built to defy such expectations, and the Phillies have done a lot of expectations-defying this October.As for how it might play out, your four CBS Sports MLB scribes and two editors are here to provide (theoretically) educated gue ses as to who wins the 2022 Fall Cla sic. Do note that accuracy is not guaranteed or even encouraged. World Series picks R.J. Anderson Gustav Olofsson Jersey Mike Axisa Dayn Perry Matt Snyder Stephen Pianovich Kate Feldman HOU vs. PHI Award R.J. Anderson Mike Axisa Dayn Perry Matt Snyder Stephen Pianovich Kate Feldman World Series MVPR.J. Anderson:Anything can happen over the course of four to seven games. I'm picking the team that was demonstrably better during the regular season, and picking them in the maximum amount of games, so that I have plausible deniability if/when I get it wrong. (Plus I do think Houston is the better team.).PICK:Astrosin seven; World Series MVP: Kyle Tucker.Mike Axisa:I think the Astros are the better team, but if this postseason has shown us anything, it's that the better team doesn't always win a short series. The Phillies have two studs atop the rotation, a lineup that is deeper and more well-rounded than it gets credit for, and immaculate vibes. Similar to 2019, I'm predicting a long, entertaining, and hard-fought series that Ben Chiarot Jersey ends with an NL East team celebrating a title at Minute Maid Park.PICK: Phillies in seven; World Series MVP: Kyle Schwarber.Dayn Perry: By any reasonable standard, the Astros are the better team, and they're much more rested overall coming into this series. That said, the vibes gap between these two teams is nigh incalculable, and that's what matters most of all this time of year.PICK: Phillies in seven; World Series MVP: Zack Wheeler. Matt Snyder:I have very little conviction on this. The Astros are much better. They have more talent Christian Folin Kids Jersey and more depth. The Phillies are also on a special run and I can't shake the feeling that winning seven in a row on the Astros' end means a cold streak is coming. Then again, for much of the season I said the Phillies are the most variably good team we've seen in a while; they could win the World Series or lose 12 in a row and mi s the playoffs. There's a greater likelihood of a cold streak falling on the Philly end. I'll go with Jose Altuve taking MVP. He started the playoffs 0 for 25 and he's better than this. A hot string of games is lurking right around the corner.PICK: Astros in six; World Series MVP: Jose Altuve.Stephen Pianovich:At the beginning of these playoffs, I picked the Phillies to win the World Series. In the 20 days since, the Phillies have gone 9-2 and eliminated two division winners and another upset-minded darling. Bryce Harper had the swing of his life. Rhys Hoskins has a bewitching new bat flip seemingly every game. Kyle Schwarber hit a ball 488 feet. and Zack Wheeler are putting up zero after zero. Three of my colleagues are picking the Phillies based on vibes. Sure, the Astros are the more well-rounded team on paper, but you don't need an elaborate camera-and-trash-can scheme to know what's coming for my pick.PICK: Phillies in five; World Series MVP: Rhys Hoskins.Kate Feldman: The Astros are better than the Phillies in pretty much every measurable way and yet there is no doubt in my mind that the Phillies are going to win the World Series. The vibes are simply too good. Bryce Harper is going to hit a 500-foot bomb in Game 4 and the Phanatic and Miles Teller will recreate a scene from "Top Gun" and the city will burn and from the ashes will rise Rob Manfred's piece of metal. Men will cry and women will tell stories to their grandchildren and the streets will be spilled with Charles Hudon Kids Jersey beer and there will be joy in the world for one night. PICK: Phillies in six; World Series MVP: Bryce Harper.
