In Baltimore, the Orioles are dealing a significant blow to their playoff push. All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman has been placed on the ten-day injured list with left wrist inflammation, a tough development for a club that leans heavily on him both behind the plate and in the middle of their lineup.
Shifting to South Florida, Inter Miami fans will have to wait a little longer to see their star back in action. Lionel Messi and Rodrigo de Paul are sitting out Miami's next two matches following their World Cup run with Argentina. Sources confirm both players are on a planned hiatus before rejoining the club for the stretch run of the MLS season.
And the LeBron James free agency watch continues to drag on, and the basketball world is running out of patience. The four-time champion is taking his time, giving nothing away, leaving fans and front offices alike staring at their phones waiting for any signal about where the future Hall of Famer lands next.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
