Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe committed two defensive errors during the team's 7-5 win over the Rays on Tuesday. Volpe has now made 15 errors this season, which is tied for the most in MLB.

Though Volpe's home run and two hits were crucial in the Yankees' win, he gave the Rays another chance with a poor throw to first base during the ninth inning. The 2023 Gold Glove winner has not played up to his previous defensive standard, and been a key part of the Yankees' overall struggles this season, a major concern as the team looks to return to the World Series in October.

Despite Volpe's woes, Yankees manager Aaron Boone is not planning to bench Volpe or sit him as a mental reset.

"Clearly, he's gone through some struggles here and in some key moments not made some plays," Boone said Wednesday. "I think Anthony's super tough, and I think he's wired for this. We think of slumps or struggles more offensively, it happens with even really good players on that side of the ball."

Boone continued, "My message to him is, 'You're really good at this.' And that's reality. He's a Gold Glove player, he makes plays that people can't make. He's a playmaker out there. He's made some mistakes on some balls that he needs to nail down, but it happens to guys at different points of their career. I believe his mental toughness and his wiring will get him through this, and we'lI all work right there with him to get through it too. I believe his best days are in front of him this year and beyond."

Volpe remains determined as well to turn around his performance defensively. “I’ve never really experienced something like this,” Volpe said Tuesday. “But I’ve got really good guys around me. I know what I’m capable of. It’s obviously frustrating, but it’s not discouraging. I know the standard I have for myself. I’m going to keep pushing until I prove it to myself every day."

As relações entre Corinthians e Argentinos Juniors estremeceram após o clube brasileiro atrasar parcelas no pagamento de Fausto Vera. O Timão foi condenado pela Fifa a pagar US$ 3,45 milhões de dólares (R$ 17 milhões na cotação atual), e Christian Malaspina, presidente do clube argentino, detonou o Timão e chamou os brasileiros de “vergonhosos”.

O Corinthians tem 45 dias para quitar a dívida e corre o risco de sofrer um transfer ban, sendo impedido de registrar novos jogadores. Mesmo tendo prometido a chegada de um novo meia, Augusto Melo pregou cautela e paciência no mercado.

– Nós temos uma comissão que a gente analisa, contratando um a um. A gente não vai sair contratando dez, quinze, vinte (jogadores), mesmo porque não temos condições financeiras e hoje o Corinthians mudou a gestão… Hoje a gente contrata um jogador pontualmente, monitorado 100% todas as condições dele. Então o que precisa hoje é por a cabeça no lugar, trabalhar, e aí sim, durante o campeonato, vamos compondo um ou outro. Mas pode ter certeza que a gente está no mercado e pode chegar em breve mais alguns – comentou Augusto Melo.

اتخذ نادي برشلونة إجراءً صارمًا اليوم الخميس، وذلك قبل مباراته المرتقبة مع آينتراخت فرانكفورت في مسابقة دوري أبطال أوروبا.

ويستضيف برشلونة فرانكفورت الأسبوع المقبل على ملعب كامب نو، وذلك لحساب منافسات الجولة السادسة من دوري أبطال أوروبا في مرحلة الدوري.

وأصدر نادي برشلونة بيانًا رسميًا بخصوص تفاصيل المباراة وحجز تذاكر حضور اللقاء على ملعب كامب نو.

وفي إجراء صارم لمنع حدوث ما حدث في لقاء برشلونة وفرانكفورت بالدوري الأوروبي عام 2022، أكد البلوجرانا أن من يحضر المباراة الأسبوع المقبل سيكون من بين الأعضاء فقط.

وكان برشلونة قد لعب ضد فرانكفورت خلال شهر أبريل من موسم 2022، وذلك في ربع نهائي بطولة الدوري الأوروبي، والتي خسرها البارسا 3-2.

وشهدت هذه المباراة تواجد عدد حوالي 26 ألف من جماهير فرانكفورت في ملعب كامب نو ، حيث قام جمهور برشلونة ببيع هذه التذاكر لجماهير النادي الألماني.

وأكد برشلونة أن إجراء حضور الأعضاء فقط في مباراة فرانكفورت قد اتخذ بهدف ضمان سلامة جماهير الفريق الكتالوني وفي الوقت نفسه، منع تكرار ما حدث في لقاء الدوري الأوروبي.

وأفاد برشلونة، أنه بدايًة من أمس الأربعاء تم فتح تذاكر المباراة للأعضاء ولن يتمكن من شراء تذاكر هذه المباراة إلا من يثبت عضويته.

كما أوضح برشلونة في البيان، أنه قد تم زيادة عدد أفراد الأمن في هذه المباراة وذلك حرصًا على سلامة الجماهير، كما سيتم فحص التذاكر عند الدخول لأرض الملعب لاستبعاد أي مؤشرات على شراء تذاكر غير قانونية.

Sitting at 48-45 with just over three weeks to go until the MLB trade deadline, the Boston Red Sox have some decisions to make—one of which is whether or not to extend third baseman Alex Bregman.

Despite missing the last month-plus with a strained right quad, the 31-year-old—who signed with Boston in February—has been a leader in the clubhouse for young prospects Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony, and was named an All-Star this past weekend for the first time since 2019. Needless to say, he's worthy of an extension.

If the two sides can't come to an agreement on a new deal by the July 31st trade deadline, however, Jim Bowden says the Red Sox may opt to trade him. In a recent mailbag column, the insider also floated three possible landing spots for Bregman.

"The Red Sox would like to extend Bregman before the trade deadline," Bowden wrote on Wednesday. "But it won’t be easy with Scott Boras as his agent. And, I’m hearing, in my conversations throughout the league, if he’s not extended, they could end up trading him to Seattle, Detroit or Milwaukee."

Bregman, who has been out since late May but could return to Boston's lineup as early as this week, has tallied 11 home runs and 31 RBI this season while slashing .299/.385/.553. Meanwhile, the Red Sox have won their last five games and currently sit one game out of the American League's third Wild Card spot.

Tottenham have reportedly entered pole position to sign a “big striker” for manager Thomas Frank in January, coming amid reports that the unfit Dominic Solanke now faces an uncertain future at the club.

Thomas Frank unimpressed by Dominic Solanke at Tottenham

Spurs’ club-record signing has played just 49 minutes in all competitions so far this campaign, with a niggling ankle problem keeping him out of action since their 2-0 win at Man City in August.

His ankle issue required minor surgery and Frank has confirmed that the England striker could soon return to the field, having made decent progress in his recovery, but we can still only estimate when he will be fit and available for selection once again.

Fitness issues have been commonplace at Spurs since Solanke made the £65 million move from Bournemouth last year, and he hasn’t had a chance to showcase his worth to Frank just yet.

The 28-year-old finished 24/25 as Tottenham’s second-top goalscorer behind Brennan Johnson with 16 goals in all competitions, but a combination of knee, thigh and ankle problems limited his availability.

Interestingly, according to a report from Football Insider this week, Frank has already seen enough.

It is believed that Frank has been left unimpressed by Solanke and a January exit could be on the cards for him, as Tottenham’s manager decides that he wants a new striker to come in.

In the build up to the next transfer window, reports have suggested that Tottenham could bring Ivan Toney back to the Premier League on loan from Al-Ahli, with Frank’s ex-star at Brentford looking to battle his way back into Thomas Tuchel’s England squad.

Some media sources claim that Frank has personally contacted Toney about a temporary move to Spurs, but there are other options.

With his contract expiring in 2026, Spurs have also been touted as suitors for Juventus star Dušan Vlahović.

Tottenham "leading the race" to sign Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović

According to reliable Bundesliga journalist and Bayern Munich expert Christian Falk, there’s been an update, and one which suits the north Londoners down to the ground.

While Bayern were continuously linked, it is actually Tottenham who are “leading the race” to sign Vlahovic, as Falk tells Bayern Insider that Vincent Kompany’s side have now backed off.

The 25-year-old, who reportedly earns a whopping £375,000-per-week in Turin, has managed to score at least 14 goals per season since his magnificent breakout campaign at Fiorentina in 2020/2021.

Vlahovic can be a big-game player as well, with strikes coming in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund and Man City over the last two seasons, as well as in crucial Serie A matches against the likes of Inter Milan.

On a free transfer or for a cut-price in January, Vlahovic could be a real coup, but he’ll almost certainly have to take a massive pay cut.

Rangers are on the brink of bringing a new manager to Ibrox, and have already agreed to four demands from the incoming boss.

Rangers manager latest

As reported by Ben Jacobs, Rangers are close to a total agreement to seal Steven Gerrard’s return to Ibrox. The Gers have identified their replacement for Russell Martin and look destined to welcome the last manager who won them the Scottish Premiership back to Glasgow.

It’s a swift decision from the 49ers, who know that they cannot afford to get another appointment so wrong after Russell Martin’s tenure to forget. The former Southampton boss won just once in seven games in the Scottish Premiership and lasted just 123 days in charge.

The first task for Gerrard will be turning things around after Rangers’ disastrous start. The Gers are already as many as nine points behind champions Celtic and 11 behind unexpected leaders Hearts. Simply put, the Liverpool legend has a monumental task on his hands.

The new manager also has the task of keeping players happy in the club’s current state. Rumours are already emerging that Nicolas Raskin has attracted interest from Turkish side Besiktas, who could make the midfielder one of Rangers’ biggest ever sales.

Losing Raskin would be a disastrous early blow for Gerrard, who could look to throw the Belgian into his strongest side to make up for Martin’s wrongoings.

It’s a tenure that the 49ers will be desperate to see go right after they agreed to one of Gerrard’s main demands.

Gers agree to backroom demands

As reported by TeamTalk, Ibrox chiefs have already agreed to Gerrard’s demands for his backroom staff. The incoming manager reportedly requested Jermain Defoe, Gary McAllister and Steven Davis return to the club with him alongside one other unnamed staff member, all four of which have been agreed to.

Another potential blow for the Gers.

Having been handed that assurance, Gerrard handed Rangers the enthusiastic “yes” that they had been searching for and should now be on his way to take charge for a second time.

The 45-year-old wasn’t afraid to admit the importance of his backroom staff in a recent interview with Rio Ferdinand and has now followed that up with his Rangers demands.

The Gers have handed Gerrard what he requested and now, he must play his part in turning things around at Rangers following such a poor start to the season.

In the wake of a sports betting scandal currently impacting MLB, the league has announced that some of the most prominent sportsbooks in the United States are implementing changes to their baseball markets.

MLB announced Monday that some of the prominent U.S. sportsbooks will be introducing a maximum wager of $200 on bets focused on individual pitch outcomes. Those bets will also be prohibited from being included in parlay wagers.

This comes on the heels of the federal indictment which charged Guardians pitchers Luis Ortiz and Emmanuel Clase for their involvement in a sports betting scheme. The two pitchers are alleged to have accepted payment related to individual pitch markets, specifically whether individual pitches would result in strikes or balls, as well as the velocity of those pitches.

According to the indictment, bettors won as much as $450,000 by wagering on the outcome of individual pitches in the scheme. But MLB is hoping to curb such manipulation by limiting the amount that can be wagered on those types of markets.

Clase and Ortiz are charged with wire fraud conspiracy, honest services wire fraud conspiracy, conspiracy to influence sporting contests by bribery, and money laundering conspiracy in connection to the scheme to rig individual pitches. Both could face north of 60 years in prison.

Per ESPN, DraftKings and FanDuel, the two largest sportsbooks in the United States, have agreed to abide by MLB’s request in order to ensure fairness.

Since sports betting was legalized in the United States, there have been multiple instances of corruption involving athletes across various leagues, including the NBA, college sports, and MLB, among others.

Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers doesn't hold back against her WNBA opponents on the court—and she doesn't seem to hold back against her own girlfriend either.

UConn guard Azzi Fudd shared a rare detail about her mostly private relationship with Bueckers during Thursday's debut episode of her podcast, . Fudd was discussing her first pitch at a Washington Nationals game in July, which at the time elicited a decent review from Bueckers: "8/10," Bueckers wrote, rating the pitch on social media.

But, the Wings star revealed her true feelings about Fudd's pitch afterward.

"Actually I'm happy about [the 8/10 rating]," Fudd said. "Because I think someone showed her the real video, and she was really disappointed that it hit the ground and she was like, 'You know what? At least you're pretty.'"

Bueckers confirmed her relationship to Fudd during WNBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis last month, though it's not clear exactly how long the two have been dating.

Fudd, who's entering her final season with the Huskies, has since become a regular mainstay at Wings games cheering on the Rookie of the Year frontrunner. Bueckers has put up 20 or more points in her last four games for the Wings, but Dallas has gone 1-3 in that span and currently sit second to last in the league with a 8-22 record.
