Yankees star Aaron Judge has injection in sore right calf, making status for postseason uncertain

NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees star Aaron Judge had an injection in his sore right calf, putting his status for the postseason in even more jeopardy. Before the Yankees faced the Rays in a day-night doubleheader Tuesday, manager Aaron Boone said Judge had a platelet poor plasma injection during the team’s off-day on Monday following its return from Arizona. Judge was put on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a strained soleus muscle, which is in the lower part of his calf. Boone did not say what grade the strain is but described it as “moderate.” “We’re planning on him not ...

Jaxson Dart’s knee injury is still being evaluated, Giants coach John Harbaugh says

Jaxson Dart’s injured left knee is being evaluated and no decisions have been made, New York Giants coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday in the aftermath of the starting quarterback exiting the game at the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night. Harbaugh refused to confirm reports that Dart’s injury is worse than the initial diagnosis of a sprained medial collateral ligament and that the 23-year-old would be out an extended period of time, with season-ending surgery a possibility. “We’ve learned a lot more,” Harbaugh said on a video call with reporters. “When we know what direction ...

Audit finds weaknesses with Pa. aging department’s oversight

Hurricanes are a unique Stanley Cup champion with a style that is hard for rivals to replicate

Brady Tkachuk marvels at how the Carolina Hurricanes “give you no time and space.” He and the Ottawa Senators were swept by them last spring. Jamie Drysdale called the 'Canes relentless, and teammate Trevor Zegras remembers wave after wave that “over a series, it wears you down.” The Philadelphia Flyers also got swept. By the Eastern Conference Final, Cole Caufield figured, “They finally got to a point where they were kind of unbeatable.” He and the Montreal Canadiens won the series opener, then lost the next four. Mitch Marner calls their style a “full-court press” ...

Kenneth Walker III has changed the Chiefs’ math, and Mahomes is suddenly making defenses pay

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The results have looked a whole lot like they used to for the Kansas City Chiefs. They've piled up a bunch of yards, made the plays that mattered the most in the final seconds, and ultimately they've come out on top the first two weeks of the season. How they've done it is what's been different. These are not the high-flying, throw-it-every-down Chiefs that set the NFL ablaze early in quarterback Patrick Mahomes' career, but rather a balanced attack that has seen Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III surpass all expectations both on the ground and through the ...
