Getty Images After giving up two runs in the first inning against the Pirates on Sunday, Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow was removed from the game with what the Dodgers later called right shoulder discomfort. He went out for his warm up pitches before summoning manager Dave Roberts and a trainer. He then left the game due to an apparent injury. Ben Casparius replaced Glasnow on the mound.

André Rizek, apresentador do SporTV (Reprodução) André Rizek, após o final do primeiro tempo de Flamengo x Corinthians, não aliviou para o Timão. Atropelado no Maracanã, o clube alvinegro sofreu três gols e, segundo o apresentador, fez o Rubro-Negro “emular” o Barcelona no Maracanã. Isso porque o nível dos comandados de Filipe Luís, bastante elevado dentro de um contexto normal, ficou ainda maior com o amplo domínio em campo. “O time do Flamengo já é bom pra caramba. Aí vem o Corinthians, com esse primeiro tempo pífio, e faz parecer o Barcelona do Messi.”, escreveu Rizek, na plataforma X.

Mindestens 120 Millionen Euro teuer ist das Vereins-Zentrum, das ohne öffentliche Gelder finanziert wird. Das ist der Plan. Und der muss schnell umgesetzt werden.Der Lizenz-Entzug droht!
