Aryna Sabalenka is through to the US Open quarterfinals, and she made it look inevitable once she found her footing.

Trent Grisham heads to the injured list with a hamstring strain, and New York is recalling outfielder Jasson Domínguez to fill the void. This comes on the heels of a painful walk-off loss to San Diego Friday night, so the Yankees need every healthy body they can get right now.
And a moment to honor a baseball life well lived. The Boston Red Sox announced Sunday that former manager Joe Morgan has passed away at ninety-five. Morgan took the reins midway through the nineteen eighty-eight season and promptly engineered what became known as Morgan Magic, a twelve-game winning streak that carried Boston to an AL East title. A remarkable run, and a remarkable man.
