Dodgers’ Freddie Freeman placed on injured list after hurting surgically repaired ankle in shower ‘mishap’

Getty Images Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman was placed on the injured list on Thursday after aggravating his surgically repaired right ankle. Manager Dave Roberts told reporters that the injury was the result of "mishap" while stepping into the shower. Roberts originally described Freeman's status as "day to day," but he had not played since March 29. In turn, the Dodgers were able to backdate his IL stint to March 31. (Teams are allowed to retroactively credit players with a few days of banked IL time provided they haven't appeared in a game during that span.) Freeman initially suffered the ankle injury in late September of last year and missed the final three games of the regular season. However, he played through the discomfort in the playoffs and went on to win the World Series MVP award. In December, he underwent […]

Lamar Jackson challenges Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s trademark claim of No. 8

Lamar Jackson’s drive to win the battle of the famous No. 8s is racing on.Last year, Jackson challenged a trademark claim from Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman to put “EIGHT” on apparel and bags. Now, Jackson has turned to Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s pending trademark claim of a stylized No. 8 Earnhardt has used for his JR Motorsports race team.AdvertisementJackson’s attorneys filed a notice of opposition Wednesday with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, saying Earnhardt Jr.’s claim would conflict with the two-time NFL MVP’s “Era 8” brand — which covers a variety of bags as well as “bottoms as clothing, footwear, headwear, tops as clothing (and) undergarments.”“(Earnhardt Jr.’s) mark falsely suggests a connection with persons, living or dead, namely, Lamar Jackson, who is well known by the number 8,” the filing said.Requests for comment from Earnhardt Jr. […]

Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards leaves game after landing on foot of Nets coach, appears to avoid injury

Getty Images Some injuries happen because of a player's anatomy and internal risk factors. Some injuries happen because of an unfortunate interaction between two players on the court. And some injuries, sadly, are just plain old bad luck. That could have been the case for Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, who left Minnesota's game against the Brooklyn Nets Thursday with what initially seemed like one of the unluckiest injuries you'll ever see.The moment came with a bit less than four minutes remaining in the second quarter. Edwards rebounded a missed 3-pointer by Julius Randle and hoisted up a 3-pointer of his own. It went in, but as Edwards stepped back after the shot, he stepped backwards onto the foot of Nets coach Jordi Fernandez. He was helped off of the court and into the locker room from there as the Timberwolves and Nets finished the […]

Jose Altuve’s career-high 5 strikeouts spark Twins crowd in home opener loss to Astros

MINNEAPOLIS — Darren McCaughan pitched with a three-run deficit in the ninth inning on Thursday afternoon, but the Target Field crowd made so much noise the Minnesota Twins reliever needed to cup his ear to receive his catcher’s instructions.“First time I haven’t been able to hear the PitchCom out there,” the right-hander said.AdvertisementMcCaughan’s opponent at the plate also was in the midst of a new experience.As Jose Altuve fell behind in the count against the veteran reliever, one of Major League Baseball’s best pure hitters found himself in uncharted territory: in danger of the first five-strikeout game of his career.Even though Altuve’s Houston Astros held a 5-2 lead and were about to wreck the Twins’ home opener, as McCaughan closed in on a rare opportunity against the future Hall of Famer, the announced crowd of 36,783 was energized.Only twice before […]

Eagles’ first off-season blow: Jalen Hurts to feel this one every time he’s on the field

After years of stability at the tight end position, the Philadelphia Eagles are facing a potential shake-up as trade rumors circulate around their star tight end, Dallas Goedert.
