Does rookie Hagen Smith's dominance out of White Sox' bullpen point to future in rotation?
No one spins the ball quite like White Sox rookie left-hander Hagen Smith. After pitching two perfect innings to preserve a scoreless tie with the Mets before teammate Tristan Peters’ game-winning home run Sunday, the fifth overall pick of the 2024 draft now has struck out 13 of 31 batters in eight innings since being called up to the majors Aug. 8. That walk-off home run by the Cubs’ Pete Crow-Ar

PHOENIX – A season ago, Michael Busch was the Cubs’ home-run leader. But after smacking 34 bombs in 2025, the first baseman came into Monday sixth on the roster with just 16 this year. It’s not that he hasn’t been effective – his .352 on-base percentage was the highest of his young major league career – but he hasn’t been the same lineup-carrying presence he was at times last season. The Cubs’ off

And t

Mount Carmel, Brother Rice and Nazareth — the Nos. 1, 2 and 5 teams in the preseason Super 25 — lost in Week 1. Does that mean the preseason rankings were lousy?

Hull City Drags Red Devils Right Back To Hell
As a soccer fan, one of the best things you can do for your physical and mental well-being is to studiously avoid overreacting to results early in the season.

Jarrett Payton-David Haugh pairing on The Score's morning show is evidence of dried-up pipeline

With Bears desperate for instant impact, rookie S Dillon Thieneman in 'very good spot'
CINCINNATI — One of the best things the Bears’ defense has going for it amid a challenging training camp is the rapid progress of rookie safety Dillon Thieneman.
