Lewis has been scuffling at the plate, and Minnesota is hoping a stint in the minors gives him a chance to find his swing before the roster gets thin.
Shifting to tennis, and this one stings — Carlos Alcaraz is withdrawing from Wimbledon in two thousand twenty six, a massive blow to what was shaping up to be one of the most anticipated grass-court draws in years. The reigning champion is dealing with an injury that's forcing him to sit out the major, leaving a wide-open field at the All England Club.
And in the WNBA, devastating news out of Chicago — Sky guard Rickea Jackson has torn her left ACL and is done for the season. Jackson was traded to the Sky in the offseason and had been building toward a genuine breakout campaign, making this loss hit even harder for a franchise that had real momentum heading into the summer.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
