Welcome to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
The Houston Astros are holding down first place in the AL West, but the Texas Rangers are breathing down their necks, and the big question in Houston right now is whether Carlos Correa can get back on the field in time to make a difference. A healthy Correa could be the difference between a division title and a very uncomfortable finish to the season.
Shifting to the NFL, Seattle Seahawks safety Nick Emmanwori is not expected to suit up for Wednesday's league opener, which is a real blow for the defending Super Bowl champions. The second-year safety was nothing short of spectacular as a rookie, finishing second in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting despite missing two games, and Seattle needs him back sooner rather than later.
And over in Toronto, the Kawhi Leonard situation keeps getting stranger by the day. The Clippers trade is still not officially finalized, yet Leonard is already out on the Raptors team retreat bonding with his new teammates. It is an unusual situation legally and logistically, but Kawhi being Kawhi, he is apparently not waiting on the paperwork to start building chemistry.
That is your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
