Brock Bowers is going under the knife — well, he already did. The Raiders' star tight end had a meniscus trim Tuesday in Dallas and is expected to miss a game or two. For a Las Vegas offense that leans heavily on Bowers, even a short absence stings heading into the season.
Meanwhile in New York, the Yankees are feeling the squeeze. Jazz Chisholm Junior is heading to the injured list with a sprained thumb, shut down from baseball activities for seven to ten days. With New York in the thick of an AL East chase, losing one of their most electric bats right now is about as bad timing as it gets.
And over at Flushing Meadows, the US Open is delivering the drama. Coco Gauff had no business winning that match against Mirra Andreeva — double faults, unforced errors piling up — but she found a way, battling back to punch her ticket to the semifinals. Gauff is flawed and fearless, and that combination is dangerous for everyone left in the draw.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
