In Atlanta, the news on Spencer Strider is about as bad as it gets. The Braves ace is almost certainly heading for elbow surgery, which likely means his season is done before it ever got going. For a rotation already stretched thin, this is a gut punch with real playoff implications.
Shifting to the World Cup, Sweden came out swinging in Group F, putting five goals past Tunisia in what can only be described as a statement performance. Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak both found the net, giving the Swedes exactly the kind of momentum a tournament run is built on. Group F just got a lot more interesting.
And back stateside at Dodger Stadium, there is cautious optimism surrounding Blake Snell and Teoscar Hernandez, both of whom were spotted working out on the field Sunday during their injured list stints. Snell has been dealing with loose bodies in his elbow after making just one start this year, while Hernandez is nursing a Grade one hamstring strain. Neither is close to a return date, but being on the field is at least something.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
