The New York Yankees are keeping Giancarlo Stanton in pinstripes. Despite missing most of the season and questions swirling about his future, the organization confirmed the slugger will be back. At thirty-seven years old and fifteen million dollars on the books, the Yankees are betting health finally holds.
Speaking of Yankees pitching, Max Fried went under the knife to remove a bone spur from his throwing elbow. The good news is he's expected to begin a throwing program in December, which keeps his timeline on track for spring training. New York needs Fried healthy and ready to anchor that rotation come opening day.
And a brutal blow out of Eugene — Oregon defensive end Teitum Tuioti is done for the season after suffering a knee injury in the Ducks' win over Ohio State. Head coach Dan Lanning called him unbelievable, and that's not an overstatement. Oregon is chasing a College Football Playoff run, and losing their most disruptive edge rusher right now could not come at a worse time.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
