Aaron Judge is heading back to the injured list, and the timing could not be worse for New York. The Yankees star returned just seven games ago after missing three months, and now he's being shut down again with the postseason right around the corner. His availability for October is genuinely uncertain, and that is a massive problem for a team with championship expectations.
Shifting to the hardwood, Kelsey Mitchell just rewrote the WNBA record books. The Indiana Fever guard dropped thirty-three points Friday night in a hundred and three to eighty-five win over Toronto, pushing her season total to one thousand thirty-four points and surpassing A'ja Wilson's single-season scoring mark. The expanded forty-four game schedule gave Mitchell the runway, but she still had to go out and do the work, and she delivered.
And in baseball, Roman Anthony and the Boston Red Sox got back on track Friday, taking down the Tampa Bay Rays four to two in Saint Petersburg. Starter Suarez was sharp all night, keeping Tampa's lineup off balance, while Anthony provided the offensive punch Boston needed after a rough trip through Texas. The Red Sox needed that one, and they got it.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
