You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
In Milwaukee, the NL Central leaders are suddenly playing shorthanded on the left side of the infield. Third baseman Joey Ortiz and shortstop Cooper Pratt are both dealing with injuries, and for a Brewers team trying to hold the top spot, that depth problem is a real concern heading into the stretch run.
Speaking of depth problems, the Detroit Lions are now searching for a backup quarterback after Teddy Bridgewater stepped away from the organization and is expected to retire from the NFL. Coach Dan Campbell confirmed the news Sunday, meaning Jared Goff heads into the season without his veteran safety net behind him.
And over in the American League, the race for that final Wild Card spot has turned into an absolute scramble. Seven teams are genuinely in the mix, and with the regular season entering its most critical stretch, baseball insiders are calling it one of the most chaotic playoff races in years. Every single game from here on out carries enormous weight.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
