The Cincinnati Reds are paying tribute to Pete Rose on Wednesday night, a day after baseball’s career hits leader was posthumously removed from the major leagues’ permanent ineligibility list.
The Reds are handing out a replica No. 14 Rose jersey to fans in attendance for their game against the Chicago White Sox. They are holding a pregame panel with former Rose teammates George Foster and Ken Griffey Sr., along with Barry Larkin and Eric Davis — who played for Rose when he managed the Reds.
Members of Rose’s family are slated to deliver the game ball and serve as honorary captains.
Rose, who died in September at age 83, played for the Reds in 19 of his 24 seasons, winning two of his three World Series championships with his hometown team. His career was tarnished by a gambling scandal that led to a permanent ban on Aug. 23, 1989.

An investigation commissioned by Major League Baseball concluded Rose — a 17-time All-Star who finished with 4,256 hits — repeatedly bet on the Reds as a player and manager of the team from 1985-87, a violation of a long-standing MLB rule.

Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Tuesday he was changing the league’s policy on permanent ineligibility, saying bans would expire at death.
While Rose’s gambling ban made him a baseball pariah, that was never the case in a city that proudly embraces its status as the home of the oldest major league team. He was almost uniformly beloved in his native Cincinnati for his all-out playing style and his connection to the Big Red Machine — the dominant Reds teams in the mid-1970s.

Dalton Rushing called up for MLB debut: Dodgers’ top prospect, No. 22 in MLB, promoted to majors
Getty Images The Los Angeles Dodgers have called up catcher prospect Dalton Rushing, the team announced Wednesday. The Dodgers will open up an active roster spot for Rushing by designating backup catcher Austin Barnes for assignment. Barnes, the longest-tendured Dodger position player, has been with the team since 2015. Rushing, 24, has thus far spent the 2025 season at Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he's batted .308/.424/.514 with five home runs and 21 walks in 31 games. For his minor-league career, the former second-rounder out of the University of Louisville has slashed .277/.412/.519 across parts of four minor-league seasons.Coming into the current season, CBS Sports ranked Rushing as the No. 22 overall prospect and the top prospect in a still-strong Dodgers system. Here's part of R.J. Anderson's write-up of Rushing: "Rushing has primarily served as a backstop during his professional career, making […]
2025 PGA Championship DFS picks, lineups, field: Top PGA Tour predictions, strategy on FanDuel, DraftKings
Imagn Images In 2023, Jon Rahm had three top-10 finishes in majors, including winning the Masters, as one of the world's most dominant golfers. At the end of the year, he left the PGA Tour and only has one top-10 result in four majors since entering the 2025 PGA Championship, which begins on Thursday from Quail Hollow Club. Rahm missed the cut at last year's PGA Championship to snap a streak of 18 straight made cuts at majors, so should daily Fantasy golf players rely on Rahm for 2025 PGA Championship DFS lineups, or will he fail to return value at his price for PGA DFS picks? The 2025 PGA Championship field is once again filled with the top options in the sport, such as Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Rory McIlroy.Schauffele won last year's PGA Championship and U.S. Open […]

Where to watch Lionel Messi and Inter Miami vs. San Jose Earthquakes, live stream: MLS pick, odds, lineups
Getty Images It has been one step forward and two steps back for Lionel Messi and Inter Miami as they prepare to face the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday. Despite Messi scoring, they suffered a heavy defeat to Minnesota United last time out as Miami's struggles facing top opposition continued. Luis Suarez missed that match, and the lack of depth in attack was highlighted, allowing Minnesota to play the game on their own terms from start to finish. Bruce Arena's Quakes won't give them the same defensive test as Minnesota, but attacking-wise, they'll give Miami everything that they can handle and then some. No team has scored more goals than San Jose's 26 this season, but five teams have allowed more than their 20 goals conceded. It has been a balancing act for Arena with the team trying to outscore their […]
Canucks, top prospect Tom Willander agree to 3-year, entry-level contract
After a surprisingly drawn-out negotiation, the Vancouver Canucks and Tom Willander have agreed to a three-year, entry-level contract that will begin in 2025-26, the club announced on Wednesday.Willander, 20, was drafted No. 11 by the Canucks in 2023. The right-shot Swedish defenseman had a pair of successful post-draft seasons with Boston University, which included scoring 24 points in 39 games as a sophomore in 2024-25.AdvertisementVancouver’s prized defensive prospect was initially free to sign an ELC when the Terriers lost the NCAA Frozen Four championship on April 12. Top prospects who are ready to turn pro often sign quickly after their NCAA season is over, allowing them to either burn the first year of their ELC at the end of the NHL season or sign an ELC that begins the following year and sign an amateur tryout in the meantime that […]
