The Los Angeles Dodgers are making moves after a brutal end to their postseason run. Swept by the Brewers in the NLCS, the organization has parted ways with hitting coach Aaron Bates, the two sides unable to reach an agreement on a new deal. It's a significant shake-up for a franchise that expects to win, and heads will be turning this offseason.
Shifting to the NFL, Rams fans have been holding their breath all season, and the wait is nearly over. Myles Garrett is on track to be activated from injured reserve in time to face the Commanders this Sunday. The linebacker has been a limited participant in practice this week, and that first step back is now looking like it leads straight to the field. Los Angeles desperately needs him.
And on a lighter note, college basketball had a star-studded crowd Thursday night when Caitlin Clark showed up to watch Illinois take on Penn. The Illini came away with the win, but it was one player's reaction to learning Clark was in the building that had everyone talking. Pure, unfiltered excitement — and honestly, same.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
