Ketlen Vieira Looks For Her Second Straight Victory

2-2 since 2019, Ketlen Vieira (12-2) will enter Saturday's contest in the main-event spotlight as she battles former UFC strawweight champion Holly Holm.

Seiya Suzuki To Sit Out On Friday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This appears to be a routine day off for Suzuki who has struggled at the plate lately. He has struck out in nine of his last 25 plate appearances, so he could use a day off. […]

Holly Holm Set For Main-Event Showing Saturday

The second-biggest favorite on the night, former UFC strawweight champion Holly Holm (14-5) will enter Saturday's main event to battle Ketlen Vieira. Previously a boxing world champion before her MMA days, Holm has scored eight of her 14 career wins by knockout/TKO.

Andrew Knizner Could Miss Time

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Andrew Knizner (head) was forced to exit Thursday's game due to concussion symptoms. He took a couple of foul balls to the mask and was unable to continue. He remains with the team, but will be re-evaluated to see if a roster move is needed. Knizner doesn't offer much upside with […]

Dusko Todorovic Set Up For Difficult Matchup

After back-to-back losses, Dusko Todorovic (11-2) earned a big first-round knockout of Maki Pitolo in December of last year. A dangerous striker in his own right, the Serbian has scored seven knockout/TKO victories among his 11 career wins. Facing a fellow striker in Chidi Njokuani, this bout has all the potential in the world of […]

Chidi Njokuani Can Continue His Run On Saturday

Very few fighters have had an Octagon debut like Chidi Njokuani (21-7) had in February, when he earned a first-round knockout in 16 seconds. Prior to that, Njokuani earned his way to the UFC by collecting a second-round TKO on the Contender Series. Beyond proving his knockout ability can translate to the big stage, 13 […]

Raiders Sign Jordan Veasy

The Las Vegas Raiders signed former Houston Texans wide receiver Jordan Veasy to an undisclosed deal on Friday.

The 26-year-old played […]

Andre Iguodala Will Miss Game 2

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (back) won't be available for Friday's Game 2 against the Dallas Mavericks. The team continues to evaluate Iguodala for his left cervical disk injury. He'll miss at least Friday's game, but could sit out more of this series as well. His absence won't have much of an impact on […]

Luis Gonzalez Headed Back To The Majors?

San Francisco Giants outfielder Luis Gonzalez was a late scratch from Triple-A Sacramento's lineup and was seen clearing out his locker on Thursday night, a strong indication that he's being promoted back to the majors, according to sources familiar with the situation. The 26-year-old was surprisingly optioned earlier this week after hitting .349/.397/.492 with two […]

Tabatha Ricci Can Earn Second UFC Win Saturday

1-1 in the UFC, Tabatha Ricci (6-1) will look to build on her UFC debut when she battles against Polyanna Viana on Saturday's main card.

Jayson Tatum Continues Hot Stretch

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum nearly dropped 30 points in Game 1, but left more in the tank for Thursday's Game 2 contest. The All-Star forward finished with 27 points, five rebounds, and five assists in the victory over the Miami Heat. Tatum went 8-for-13 from the floor and knocked down four triples along the […]

Marcus Smart Nearly Posts Triple-Double

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart put together an outstanding performance during Thursday's Game 2 against the Miami Heat. Smart came into this contest a little banged up with a right foot sprain. However, the injury didn't seem to bother Smart as he almost posted a triple-double in the victory. He finished with 24 points, 12 […]

Kadarius Toney Making A Good Impression

New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka said that wide receiver Kadarius Toney is "doing all the right things...on and off the field."

Polyanna Viana Looking To Continue Her Run

After dropping three fights in a row, Polyanna Viana (12-4) is looking to win her third straight bout on Saturday in her matchup with Tabatha Ricci. There are very few fighters with a 100% finish rate in their career, but Viana is one of those, with all 12 of her wins coming via the finish […]

Jimmy Butler Drops 29 Points In Loss

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler was basically the lone bright spot for his team during Thursday's Game 2 against the Boston Celtics. The All-Star forward finished with 29 points, six rebounds, and three assists in 48 minutes during their loss. This was a solid performance from Butler, but sadly his teammates weren't able to bring […]

P.J. Tucker Forced Out Early Due To Injury

Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (knee) was forced to exit early during Thursday's Game 2 against the Boston Celtics. The veteran forward lasted 22 minutes before exiting due to a left knee contusion.

Jun Yong Park Looking To Rebound From Recent Loss

Hoping to rebound from a knockout loss in October of last year, Jun Yong Park (13-5) will kick off Saturday's main card of action against UFC veteran Eryk Anders. With all three of his UFC wins coming by decision, eight of his 13 career wins have come by the finish -- five by knockout/TKO. Park […]

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado went 2-for-5 with two singles and a strikeout in the team's 2-0 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday.
