Bad news out of Boston as Curtis Mead's debut with the Red Sox has taken a serious turn. Follow-up tests Tuesday confirmed a fractured left wrist for the infielder, a brutal blow for a player who hadn't even gotten his feet under him yet in a new uniform. The timeline remains unclear but this one stings early.
Shifting to Detroit, where the trade deadline clock is ticking loud and the Tigers are keeping their ace right where he is. Manager A.J. Hinch confirmed Tuesday that Tarik Skubal is still on track to start Wednesday against Baltimore, which tells you something about where Detroit's head is at as August third approaches. Either they're building around him or they're putting him on full display one last time.
And in the NBA, the Warriors couldn't land LeBron James but according to reports out of Sporting News, Golden State is being predicted to pivot to a future Hall of Famer with six All-Star selections to his name. No confirmed names yet, but the Warriors front office clearly isn't done swinging, and this could reshape the Western Conference conversation heading into next season.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
