You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Sam Leavitt is a go for LSU. After a nerve-wracking forty-eight hours that saw the Tigers quarterback listed as doubtful midweek, Leavitt has been cleared entirely from the injury report ahead of Saturday's showdown at Ole Miss. Number seven LSU heads to Oxford with their signal-caller healthy and the stakes as high as they get in the SEC.
Shifting to baseball, the Dodgers are getting their closer back at exactly the right time. Edwin Diaz returns from a monthlong stint on the injured list, cleared from a neck injury and available for Friday's series opener against San Francisco. Los Angeles gets a significant boost to their bullpen as the postseason picture continues to sharpen.
And in Houston, the news is harder. Carlos Correa is done for the year. The Astros shortstop pushed hard to return from ankle tendon surgery, even asking about activation during last weekend's series at Tampa Bay, but his doctor shut it down, citing the risk of jeopardizing his readiness for the start of next season. At thirty-one, Correa called it a really tough call, and you can hear why.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
