Garrett Crochet hasn't thrown a pitch since late April, but the Red Sox ace is signaling he wants back in the fight. Crochet told reporters he's open to sliding into a relief role if his recovery allows it — a significant shift for a starter of his caliber, and a potential weapon for Boston down the stretch.
Shifting to the hardwood, the Phoenix Suns are betting big on Dillon Brooks, locking him up on a three-year, seventy-three million dollar extension through the twenty twenty-nine to thirty season. Brooks has been one of the league's most disruptive defenders, and Phoenix clearly believes that edge is worth the investment heading into a critical rebuild window.
And in Atlanta, Matt Olson just keeps showing up. The Braves first baseman played in his eight hundred and ninety-sixth consecutive game, moving past Stan Musial and into eighth place on the all-time consecutive games played list. That's a Hall of Fame name in the rearview mirror, and Olson is still grinding every single night.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
