Dodgers' Tanner Scott (elbow) placed on IL; Alexis Diaz recalled
The Dodgers recalled reliever Alexis Diaz from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.
Scott suffered the injury Monday evening in a closing opportunity vs. the Minnesota Twins. After missing with a slider in the dirt, the lefty reliever looked uncomfortable. Manager Dave Roberts visited the mound and pulled Scott in favor of Kirby Yates. Yates earned his third save of the year in a 5-2 Dodgers victory.
It has been an inconsistent first season in LA for Scott, a 9-year veteran. He has 19 saves, but he leads the majors with seven blown saves, and his 4.14 ERA is the highest since his first season in Miami (2022, 4.31).
Scott did not allow an earned run in five postseason appearances for San Diego last season and signed a four-year, $72 million deal with the Dodgers in the offseason.
Diaz, a former closer in Cincinnati, was acquired by the Dodgers in late May. He spent one day with the major league club in July but was sent back to Triple-A when Tyler Glasnow came off the injured list on July 9.

Fans furious over potential deal that would see ESPN take control of NFL Network
ESPN and the NFL are reportedly 'inside the five-yard line' in negotiations over a deal that could leave football fans furious. The two parties are said to be inching closer to an agreement that would see the network acquire a significant portion of NFL media, including the RedZone Channel, according to The Athletic. In addition to RedZone, which simultaneously broadcasts all the best action from across the league's Sunday slates, ESPN is reportedly also in line to acquire the NFL Network and seven regular-season games that currently air on the league-owned network. It's currently unclear how much the blockbuster deal could cost the network but it is believed an agreement could be imminent. Talks have reached such a stage that the league has informed team owners that they may need to vote as early as next month, the report added. However, NFL fans seemingly hope negotiations will crumble before a vote takes place as they were left seething over the bombshell news Wednesday. Many on social media claimed that RedZone's quality would tank under the stewardship of ESPN. 'I think it'll be a lesser product. Redzone and NFL network are better as their distinct selves. The product doesn't need ESPN's spin on it. Look what they did with the UFC,' one user shared on X. 'ESPN gonna find a way to make it worse aren't they,' another claimed, while a third added: 'This will go downhill so much if it moves to ESPN.' 'ESPN just buys products and ruins them. No way it's actually better and most likely will get way worse. And probably will have tons of commercials,' weighed in a fourth. 'I don't see this being a positive thing for the fans…,' posted another, with one user asking: 'Can ESPN just go away already?' For years, RedZone was known for its 'seven hours of commercial-free football' but the fear of increased advertisements following an ESPN takeover seemed to be a point of contention for a lot of fans. 'Get ready for advertisements 24 hours a day,' one dejected fan posted, while another sarcastically added: 'So much for commercial free football.' In May, Scott Hanson announced that he would be returning as host of the show for a 17th season this fall. Fans were left furious as the bombshell report broke with many slamming the network Hanson's status as host of RedZone, and the show's airing as a whole, came into question as speculation ramped up about his NFL contract. Earlier this year, there had been reports that walks between the host and the network had stalled with his former contact expiring at the end of the 2024 season. But the veteran host confirmed his return in a social media statement earlier this year. '100 days from now = NFL RedZone. (& for those wondering: Yes, I *will* be there. We have A LOT of Touchdowns to watch together!) #NFLRedZone,' Hanson said.

Hulking 6ft 8in NFL star Joe Alt sets social media ablaze with performance in training camp
The Los Angeles Chargers drafted Joe Alt in 2024 to bolster their pass protection. Videos from training camp show that he might be the perfect person for that role. After a surprise 11-6 season that ended in a playoff appearance with first year coach Jim Harbaugh, the Chargers will have their expectations raised for 2025. Alt, the fifth-overall pick of the 2024 draft out of the University of Notre Dame, is expected to be a big part of that as the Chargers hope quarterback Justin Herbert will be well-protected. Even though he proved himself capable of that last year - even being named to the PFWA's All-Rookie Team - fans are still surprised by how well the 6-foot-8 offensive lineman can hold back pass rushers. Video captured by Fernando Ramirez of The Sporting Tribune showed Alt trying to hold back two dominant pass rushers: Khalil Mack and Bud Dupree. Alt was shown blocking both of them - showing his strength against two accomplished veterans. Chargers fans went wild over the video, with many of them singing the second-year's praises on social media. '2 good reps against really good vet competition. They'll need him,' said one user on X, formerly Twitter. Another said, 'demon bout be the best tackle in the league.' 'Guy is gonna make a lot of money for the next decade plus,' another user predicted. One comment said, 'Looks like Alt put on some more muscle this offseason.' 'Joe Alt is big as hell, gotdamn,' one football fan remarked. Another commented, 'Joe Alt is a future HOFer'. The Chargers begin their season traveling to South America for their first game of 2025. They'll take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Sao Paulo, Brazil as a part of the league's international series.

A list of sports organizations that have begun transgender competition bans
The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has become the latest governing body in the sports world to enact a policy change around transgender athlete competition. Here's a glance at the most prolific of those that have clarified or altered such rules this year: U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee Effectively barring transgender women from competing in women's sports, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee announced on Monday that it has an 'obligation to comply' with an executive order issued by President Donald Trump. The decree has threatened to rescind funding from organizations that don't obey. The USOPC oversees about 50 national governing bodies, most of which have some influence over youth sports all the way up to the elite levels, raising the possibility rules might need to be changed by local clubs to retain memberships. International Cycling Union The global governing body for cycling announced earlier this month that transgender women who transitioned after male puberty will no longer be able to compete in women's races. The decision followed American rider Austin Killips becoming in May the first openly transgender woman to win an official cycling event. University of Pennsylvania Penn modified three school records set by transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in a decision earlier this month to settle a federal civil rights investigation, including an apology to female athletes 'disadvantaged' by her participation on the women's swimming team. Thomas became the first openly transgender athlete to win an NCAA Division I title when she last competed for the Ivy League school in 2022. The Trump administration's broader attempt to block transgender athletes from female sports included the Penn case. The Philadelphia university agreed to restore all individual records to female athletes who lost to Thomas. World Aquatics The global governing body for swimming, formerly known as FINA, announced in June a new ' gender inclusion policy ' that only permits transgender athletes who transitioned before age 12 to compete in women's events. There are not currently any transgender women competing in elite levels of swimming. World Aquatics also proposed a new 'open competition" category, designating a committee to explore over the rest of the year the most effective guidelines for such events. World Boxing Organization The global governing body for boxing declared in May that all athletes would be subjected to mandatory sex testing in order to compete in sanctioned events. World Boxing's announcement specifically mentioned Olympic champion Imane Khelif, the Algerian who won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics last year amid international scrutiny. The previous governing body for Olympic boxing, the Russian-dominated International Boxing Association, disqualified Khelif and Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting, another Paris gold medal winner, from its 2023 world championships after claiming they failed an unspecified eligibility test. Association officials have declined to answer basic questions about the test. Khelif has said she was born a female. British sports Following a U.K. Supreme Court ruling in April, the British governing body for soccer issued a ban that took effect in June on transgender women playing on women's teams in England and Scotland. Previously, the British Football Association allowed such participation if the athletes had reduced testosterone levels. The England and Wales Cricket Board also instituted a ban. World Athletics Council The governing body for track and field banned transgender women from international competition in March, while adopting new regulations that could keep South African star Caster Semenya and other athletes with differences in sex development from competing. The World Athletics Council issued its edict in March, barring athletes who have transitioned from male to female and have gone through male puberty. No such athletes currently compete at the highest elite levels of track. Another set of updates for athletes with differences in sex development raised the potential to impact up to 13 current high-level runners including Semenya, a two-time Olympic champion at 800 meters, who has been barred from that event since 2019. Her discrimination case is still moving through the court system. Semenya and others had been able to compete without restrictions in events outside the range of 400 meters through 1 mile but now must undergo hormone-suppressing treatment for six months before becoming eligible. National Collegiate Athletic Association The NCAA, which oversees the vast majority of U.S. college athletics, announced in February — the day after Trump's order — that competition in women's sports would immediately be limited to athletes assigned female at birth. The NCAA has about 1,100 member schools with more than 500,000 athletes. High school sports Nebraska in June became the latest state to ban transgender students from girls' sports, following similar bans by the high school associations for at least 24 other states. The Trump administration has clashed with multiple states over the allowance of such participation. ___
