Welcome back, you're tuned into Sports Desk.
Shane Bieber is back in the fold for Toronto. The Blue Jays righty rejoined the club on Friday after a stint on the injured list, and manager John Schneider says he's feeling good and could be activated within the next few days. Toronto will take any healthy arm they can get right now.
Speaking of the Jays, there's another name circulating in trade talks — Gleyber Torres. Toronto has real needs up the middle of the diamond, and the former Yankee second baseman could be exactly the kind of proven bat and glove they're looking for as the deadline approaches. Watch this one closely.
And over at the World Cup, the United States men's national team is gearing up for a massive match against Australia. Both sides come in off opening wins, so this is a knockout-stage berth on the line. The tactical chess match will be everything — how the USMNT sets up defensively against Australia's pace will likely decide which team advances.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
