The Chicago Cubs acquired pitcher Mike Soroka on July 30, one day before the MLB trade deadline, and the starter made his Cubs debut on Monday. Unfortunately, his first start with the Cubs was cut very short.
The Cubs pulled Soroka after just two innings vs. the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night as he was dealing with right shoulder discomfort, ESPN's Jesse Rogers reported. Manager Craig Counsell told reporters after the game that Soroka will land on the injured list, but it's unknown for how long or what the severity of his injury is at this time.
In his short outing, Soroka struck out three batters, gave up one run, which was a home run hit by Tyler Stephenson, and walked one batter.
Soroka was seen speaking to Counsell in the dugout ahead of the third inning.
Cubs starter Ben Brown jumped in for Soroka in the third inning as he's been resting since July 27.
The Cubs will surely hope that Soroka's soreness doesn't turn into a more serious issue. The team was in dire need of some star aces ahead of the trade deadline, and Soroka was their answer. Chicago also traded for some relievers, but Soroka was the "big name" starter the team secured.
The 2025 season hasn't been Soroka's best by any means. In 16 starts with the Nationals this season, Soroka was 3-8 with a 4.87 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 87 strikeouts against 24 walks in 81 1/3 innings.
Nottinghamshire 189 for 2 trail Somerset 438 (Rew 166, Abell 156, Abbas 3-60) by 249 runs Captain Haseeb Hameed’s third century of the season helped title-chasing Nottinghamshire build a solid foundation in reply to Somerset’s 438 on day two of their Rothesay County Championship clash at Trent Bridge.Hameed, who struck 15 fours and two sixes, also passed 1,000 first-class runs for the season with the same shot that completed his hundred. He had earlier shared a stand of 101 for the second wicket with Freddie McCann (48).At 189 for two, though, Nottinghamshire, who began this round one point behind Division One leaders and defending champions Surrey, still have much work to do, trailing by 249 runs even after third-placed Somerset lost their last seven wickets for 100, Mohammad Abbas (three for 60) and Dillon Pennington (three for 71) sharing the bowling honours for the home side.Somerset’s 438 all out – while a total not to be sniffed at after being asked to bat first – perversely still felt like fewer than Somerset probably should have accumulated on a pitch with little in it for the bowling side, given that they had been 338 for three before Tom Abell’s demise shortly before Tuesday’s close,Abbas excepted, Nottinghamshire had not been at their best with the ball on the opening day. They looked better for a night’s reflection, yet most of the damage suffered by Somerset was to some degree self-inflicted.Of the four wickets to fall in adding 58 before lunch, nightwatchman Jack Leach cut the first ball of the day straight to backward point, after which James Rew fell into a trap set on the leg side as his impressive 166 ended with him athletically caught behind pulling.Tom Banton, chasing a wide one, and Archie Vaughan, nibbling outside off stump, gave Joe Clarke two much easier catches in his latest tour of duty keeping wicket, this time because Kyle Verreynne is back home in South Africa for an awards ceremony. Migael Pretorius popped back a tame return catch for Calvin Harrison soon after lunch.Craig Overton’s 31 not out was the third highest score in an innings dominated by Rew’s 313-run fourth-wicket stand with Abell (156). Jake Ball, the former Nottinghamshire quick, made 24 against his old mates before chipping back a catch to Liam Patterson-White after 41 were added for the last wicketOpening a Nottinghamshire innings for the 100th time together – matching the feats of Chris Broad and Tim Robinson, and Darren Bicknell and Jason Gallian as the only opening pairs to reach that milestone for the county since 1960 – Haseeb and Ben Slater were quickly parted, Slater falling to the eighth ball of the innings, shouldering arms to a ball from Craig Overton that clipped his off stump.Yet it took another 28 overs for the Somerset attack to make a second incision. McCann was looking to match Hameed, who had just completed an 87-ball half-century, when Ball offered him a delivery wide of off stump. It was a boundary for the taking to the short side of the square but he flashed at the ball and it took the edge, Rew having no problem taking the catch.If this represented a potential opening for Somerset, though, it was not one that offered any more than a glimpse of light, as Hameed and Clarke negotiated a safe passage through the 25 overs that remained.Hameed survived a chance on 91, albeit a difficult one, when he drove a ball back hard at Pretorius, who instinctively flung out a hand but could only prevent runs. The Nottinghamshire skipper celebrated his reprieve by lofting Vaughan’s off spin down the ground, not cleanly but with enough power to beat the fielder and the boundary for his second six, then patiently waiting on 99 to drive the same bowler to the long-on boundary for his 15th four and his 18th first-class century.
انتهى الشوط الأول بين ريال مدريد ومانشستر سيتي بتقدم الأخير بهدفين لهدف في إطار منافسات مرحلة الدوري لدوري أبطال أوروبا.
وسجل ريال مدريد الهدف الأول عن طريق البرازيلي رودريجو بتسديدة رائعة من داخل منطقة الجزاء في الدقيقة 28.
وتعادل نيكو أوريلي لصالح مانشستر سيتي في الدقيقة 35 بعد خطأ من تيبو كورتوا والذي سقطت الكرة من يده بعد رأسية من الكرواتي جوسكو جفارديول.

وفي الدقيقة 42 احتسب الحكم ركلة جزاء لصالح النرويجي هالاند بعد خطأ من الألماني روديجر لينفذها النرويجي بنجاح في شباك البلجيكي.
وصرح الخبير التحكيمي بيريز بورول لصحيفة “الماركا” تعليقاً على هذا القرار من الحكم توربان بعد مراجعة تقنية الفار: “لقد أمسك روديجر هالاند ومنعه من التسديد”.
وأكد بورول في برنامج على “رادو ماركا”: “القرار صحيح من الحكم الفرنسي”.
أفادت تقارير إعلامية اليوم الخميس، عن وجود أنباء سارة في نادي ريال مدريد، وذلك بالرغم من الهزيمة أمام مانشستر سيتي في بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا.
ريال مدريد واصل نتائجه السيئة خلال الفترة الأخيرة، وتعرض إلى خسارة قاسية على أرضه ووسط جماهيره أمام مانشستر سيتي بهدفين مقابل هدف، ضمن الجولة السادسة من مرحلة الدوري في دوري الأبطال.
ويمر ريال مدريد بوضعية صعبة للغاية هذا الموسم، خصوصًا على مستوى الإصابات، حيث يفتقد الفريق الملكي إلى العديد من اللاعبين بسبب الإصابة.
ومن بين لاعبي ريال مدريد المصابين في الوقت الحالي، إيدير ميليتاو، والذي تعرض لإصابة قاسية خلال لقاء الميرنجي ضد سيلتا فيجو يوم الأحد الماضي بالدوري الإسباني.

ومن المتوقع أن يغيب ميليتاو عن الملاعب لمدة سوف تصل إلى أربعة أشهر، من أجل التعافي في إصابته في الركبة.
لكن بحسب “البرنابيو ديجيتال”، فإن ميليتاو لن يغيب لمدة أربعة اشهر، وإنما سوف يغيب اللاعب البالغ من العمر 27 عامًا لمدة شهرين فقط بسبب الإصابة.
وبالتالي قد يكون ميليتاو جاهزًا للعب مع ريال مدريد خلال شهر فبراير المقبل، حيث ينافس الفريق الملكي على كافة المسابقات مع ألونسو.
NEW YORK — Garrett Crochet recoils at the premise. At 26, after 205 ⅓ innings (most in the American League), 255 strikeouts (most in the majors) and a 2.59 ERA (third in the AL) for the 89-win Red Sox, on the cusp of starting Game 1 of the American League wild-card series against the Yankees, he’s finally the guy he always knew he could be, right?
“Um,” he says quickly. “Becoming it.”
For starters, he didn’t always know he could be this kind of starter. Not until he began throwing 91 mph as a left-handed high school senior did any Division I programs show interest, and even at Tennessee, he spent half his time pitching in relief. When the White Sox drafted him No. 11 in June 2020 and promoted him to the big-league bullpen three months later, he was just thrilled to be in the majors. So he was not exactly clawing at the walls of the bullpen asking to be unleashed on the rotation.
“I thought that I could do it,” he says slowly. “I wasn’t sure.”
Even that degree of faith began to feel misplaced. In 2021, he threw 54 ⅓ innings in relief and felt gassed. “And I’m, like, last on my team!” he recalls. He set for himself the goal of hitting 80 or 90 innings in ’22, then putting himself in position for a few spot starts in ’23. “And then I blew out [my elbow],” he says. “It was like, ”
The Chicago brass knew he had the talent to be a frontline starter—a four-seamer that touches 100 mph plus perhaps the best slider in the game will usually play—but they wanted to see if he could develop the stamina. So after he finished rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, they let him spend the winter before the 2024 season stretching out. He was so dominant in spring training that they made him the Opening Day starter—his first major league start.
“I was just like, ” he recalls. “”

Last June, he threw seven innings of one-run, 13-strikeout ball against the Mariners. “And I was like, ” he recalls. That made the subsequent three months even more frustrating. At the All-Star break, his 107 ⅓ innings easily surpassed his career high—in the previous three seasons combined, he’d logged 73—and he and the team decided to limit him to four innings or 65 pitches per start. He felt like every five days, he’d get through the first three cleanly, then give up two in the fourth, then head for the bench. “That’s a four-and-a-half ERA,” he says. “So I’m like, ” He always wondered what he could have done with another two or three innings.
But then he started thinking about it differently: He finished with 146 innings. Another frame and change per start in the second half and he would have qualified for the ERA title. Two per start and he would have been closing in on 180 innings. “I was like, ” he says. “”
He entered the offseason sure of two things: He would be traded, and he wanted to throw 200 innings for his new team. The White Sox had tried to trade him during the season, but he had made clear to contenders that he wanted a contract extension before he agreed to blow through his innings limit and pitch into October. In the end, he stayed in Chicago.
But entering 2025, he felt healthy. So as soon as he was traded to the Red Sox in December—and especially after he signed a six-year, $170 million extension in April—he started doing some campaigning. “Every time that we talked about preparing for the season, I always made sure to throw in there,” he says. “Like, ‘Yeah, whatever I’ve got to do to throw 200 [innings]!’ Just kind of slipped that in there.” The Red Sox were happy to accommodate him: He averaged 6.4 innings and 98.5 pitches per start, and he even threw a complete-game shutout against the Rays in July.
“I don’t want to say I can’t believe I actually did it,” he says. “I can believe it, but it is still like, ”
He became not just the workhorse he had envisioned but the ace he wondered if he could be. He liked being the pitcher his team could rely on instead of one whose innings it monitored.
“It’s not something that I want to admit, because I don't want to be, like, arrogant or cocky or anything, but I feel like I was—see, I’m still trying to figure out how to say it without saying it!—I feel like that’s what I was this year, and I was very pleased with how I was responding to my own expectations,” he says.
This is something of an unusual way for an elite athlete to talk about his performance. More often they discuss the haters and the doubters. But for Crochet, this journey has not been about proving anyone wrong. It hasn’t even really been about proving himself right.
“I just want to see,” he says. “I just want to know." He answered some of his own questions this year. But he can only answer the last one in the postseason. “That’s kind of the fun part,” he says. “There’s only one way to find out.”
After another difficult evening for Celtic in the Europa League, they’ve now discovered the extent of the injury that Callum Osmand picked up in another frustrating blow.
The Bhoys fell to a 3-1 defeat against Midtjylland and remain with just the one win to their name on the European stage this season – making qualification into the next round a mere fantasy at this stage.
Celtic schedule first interview with 37 y/o manager who dreams of Hoops job
The Bhoys are still on the hunt for their Brendan Rodgers replacement.
ByTom Cunningham Nov 6, 2025
For all the good work that Martin O’Neill has done so far this season, not even the Northern Irishman could turn his side’s fortunes around outside of domestic action and he once again distanced himself from the permanent job.
What the defeat has certainly done is pile the pressure on Dermot Desmond and the rest of the Celtic board to get their next decision right and get it done sooner rather than later.
Ange Postecoglou pulled out of the race for the job in the early stages and that dealt the Bhoys an undeniable blow. Since then, however, other impressive candidates have emerged such as Club Brugge’s Nicky Hayen and Kieran McKenna.
Reports have even gone as far as to suggest that McKenna is open to the job in what could hand Celtic quite the boost. The Ipswich Town boss has struggled to get the best out of his side in the Championship so far this season, but no one will be forgetting the history that he made at Portman Road anytime soon.
Alas, before any manager can arrive, it’s up to O’Neill to get the Hoops back to winning ways and do so without recent Old Firm hero Osmand.
Celtic discover extent of Callum Osmand injury
As revealed by O’Neill at full-time, Osmand suffered a pulled hamstring against Midtjylland and will now be missing for at least a few weeks. It’s a major blow for the 19-year-old, who just took his place in Celtic’s Europa League squad off the back of putting Celtic out of sight with his effort in the Scottish League Cup semi-final against Rangers.
With Celtic’s attack already coming under fire this season, they now have the task of squaring off against Kilmarnock and others without one of their most promising talents.

For the first time in 24 years, baseball fans in Seattle have experienced the taste of a postseason victory at home.
The Mariners defeated the Tigers 3–2 in Game 2 of the ALDS on Sunday night, evening up the series 1-1. The victory marked the first time in almost a quarter of a century that the Mariners won a playoff game at their home stadium.
As a result, it was an emotional scene at T-Mobile Park, as fans in Seattle soaked in the feeling of an October win. The Fox broadcast captured the scenes in the Pacific Northwest to perfection, showcasing some excited fans as they finally experienced the long-awaited moment.
One fan was captured on the broadcast tearing up and exchanging a wholesome embrace with a loved one.
The last time the Mariners won a home playoff game was October 15, 2001, when they defeated Cleveland 3–1. That season, they advanced to the ALCS but were ultimately defeated by the Yankees in a five-game series.
Fans are hoping this year will be different. Seattle is one of five MLB teams to never win a World Series, and it's clear that the team's supporters are ready for the drought to snap.
Game 3 is slated for Tuesday, Oct. 7 from Comerica Park in Detroit. The series could potentially return to Seattle for a Game 5, if necessary.
A nova comissão técnica do São Paulo, liderada pelo treinador argentino Luis Zubeldía, custará R$ 1 milhão por mês ao Tricolor. A quantia é o dobro em relação ao recebia Thiago Carpini e a sua equipe, mas ainda é inferior ao que Dorival Júnior e os seus auxiliares ganhavam: R$ 1,2 milhão mensais. O comandante do título da Copa do Brasil na temporada passada deixou o clube do Morumbi no início deste ano para assumir a Seleção Brasileira.

Zubeldia é aguardado no Brasil neste sábado (20) e a tendência é que ele chegue acompanhado de um trio de auxiliares: Carlos Gruezo, Lucas Vivas e Maximiliano Cuebras. Os três profissionais estiveram com Luis no último trabalho do treinador, dirigindo a LDU. Na equipe equatoriana, a comissão foi campeã nacional e da Conmebol Sul-Americana em 2023, mas não chegou a um acordo pela permanência nesta temporada.
O intuito de Luis Zubeldía era se transferir para o mercado europeu em 2024, mas o estafe do técnico recebeu apenas contatos de clubes do Oriente Médio, que não agradaram o profissional, que voltou a priorizar ofertas de times sul-americanos. Assim, fechando com o São Paulo em contato feito nesta quinta-feira (18).
