Major League Baseball (MLB) announced these roster substitutions just before Game 4, rendering both players ineligible for the remainder of the series. Adolis García, the Rangers' infielder/outfielder, was notably absent from the lineup for Game 4 due to a strained left oblique he suffered in Game 3. Photo: Instagram/Max Scherzer Rangers general manager Chris Young confirmed these moves, stating that these injuries would require an extended period of recovery if they had occurred during the regular season. García's absence is a significant blow to the Rangers, as he has been a standout player throughout the postseason, earning ALCS MVP honors and setting an MLB record for most RBI in a single postseason series.

Photo: Instagram/Chase Young In a stunning move, the Washington Commanders have traded their star defensive end, Chase Young, to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a third-round pick. The trade was officially announced on Tuesday, shaking up the NFL landscape and marking a significant change in direction for both franchises. This decision follows Washington's earlier trade of fellow defensive end Montez Sweat to the Chicago Bears for a 2024 second-round pick on the same day, indicating a strategic shift in their roster. Chase Young, who was set to become a free agent after the season, had not been offered a fifth-year option by Washington, which would have cost them $17.452 million against the 2024 salary cap. For the 49ers, this acquisition addresses their pressing need for pass-rush support amid a three-game losing streak.

Photo: Instagram/Frank Howard Frank Howard, a legendary figure in the world of baseball and a towering presence in Washington's baseball history, passed away at the age of 87. The Washington Nationals announced his death on Monday, marking the end of an era for baseball fans. Though Howard never led the Washington Senators to the postseason, he made a lasting impact during his time with the club from 1965 to 1971. He was a four-time All-Star, received two top-5 finishes in MVP voting, and clinched two home run titles. Standing at an imposing 6-foot-7 and weighing over 250 pounds during his prime, he earned nicknames such as "The Capital Punisher" and "The Washington Monument" for his awe-inspiring home runs, including a 500-foot shot at RFK Stadium in 1970.

Photo: Instagram/Jimmy Garoppolo In a disappointing Monday night matchup, Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo had a rough outing as the team fell to the Detroit Lions with a final score of 26-14 at Ford Field. Garoppolo's performance left much to be desired, as he struggled throughout the game, leading to questions about his role in the team's future. Garoppolo, who had a tough night, expressed his frustration, stating, "You have good days and bad days. Today was a bad day, there's no sugarcoating it. It is what it is. So, I've just got to play better. Myself, I have to play better." His performance included a 10-for-21 passing night, with only 126 yards and an end zone interception. This underwhelming performance contributed to his career-low passer rating of 46.9.

Adams, who joined the Raiders after a successful eight-year stint with the Green Bay Packers, had a night to forget as the Raiders succumbed to a 26-14 loss. Adams' frustration came to the forefront near the end of the game, following a missed opportunity when Jimmy Garoppolo failed to connect with him on what could have been a game-changing touchdown.

Photo: Instagram/Victor Wembanyama The Los Angeles Clippers left no room for doubt as they cruised to a commanding 123-83 victory over the San Antonio Spurs at Crypto.com Arena on Sunday night.

Despite LeBron's impressive career with four NBA championships and the all-time scoring record, the Lakers struggled to secure a win in the same city and on the same date 20 years later. The passage of time highlights James' incredible journey, with more than half of his life dedicated to professional basketball.
