Nationals slugger James Wood joins Ronald Acuña Jr., Cal Raleigh as participants in Home Run Derby

WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood became the third player to announce he will take part in the Home Run Derby. The derby will be held on July 14, the night before the All-Star Game, at Truist Park in Atlanta. Wood joins Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. and Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, who leads the majors with 33 homers, in the contest. Wood has 22 homers this season. He's the third Nationals player to take part in the Home Run Derby, joining Juan Soto (2022) and Bryce Harper (2013 and '18). The 22-year-old Wood has 12 homers that have been hit harder than 110 mph. It's the second most in the league behind Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani's 13. Wood also has four dingers that have been launched longer than 445 feet. Wood was acquired from San Diego in August 2022 as part of the blockbuster deal that sent Soto to the Padres. ___ AP MLB:

Portugal and Spain players pay tribute to Diogo Jota and his brother before Euro 2025 opener

BERN, Switzerland (AP) — Portugal and Spain players observed a period of silence before their Women's European Championship opening game Thursday in memory of Portugal and Liverpool forward Diogo Jota. Both sets of players also wore black armbands for the match. Players and supporters stayed silent for around 20 seconds before the fans started applauding. Jota and his brother André Silva were killed in a car crash shortly after midnight in northwestern Spain when the Lamborghini they were traveling in veered off a road and burst into flames, Spanish police said earlier. Their deaths prompted an outpouring of grief from fans, players and officials across both women's and men's soccer. Some Portugal fans displayed banners in tribute to Jota before their team's Euro 2025 opener. 'Thank you for everything,' was written on one. 'Rest in peace,' said another. 'Today, for them,' Portugal forward Francisca (Kika) Nazareth had said on Instagram some hours before the match. 'One of our own,' teammate and fellow forward Jéssica Silva wrote, 'Diogo wasn't just a star. He was one of the good ones, the loyal ones, the attentive ones, the easy-going ones... one of those who don't need noise to make their mark. Thank you, Diego. Thank you, André. Football has become poorer... and so have we. You will never be forgotten.' ___ AP soccer:

Braves Outfielder Among Rare Company After All-Star Game Selection

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. It is no stretch to say that the Atlanta Braves have underachieved all expectations so far this season. A team that was expected to be among the best in the National League finds itself in third place in the NL East and 6 1/2 games out of a playoff spot. The Braves do, though, have the face of their franchise back on the field every day in Ronald Acuña Jr. and the former MVP made history on Wednesday. ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JULY 2: Ronald Acuña Jr. #13 of the Atlanta Braves reacts during the first inning against the Los Angeles Angels at Truist Park on July 2, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JULY 2: Ronald Acuña Jr. #13 of the Atlanta Braves reacts during the first inning against the Los Angeles Angels at Truist Park on July 2, 2025 in Atlanta, was selected as a starter in this season's All-Star Game in his home ballpark after appearing in just 36 games so far this year. He will be joined in the outfield by the Cubs' Kyle Tucker and Pete Crow-Armstrong. With his selection as a starter, Acuña joined Joe DiMaggio as the only two players to ever be selected to the All-Star Game despite not making their season debuts until their team's 50th game of the season. It is the fifth All-Star Game selection of his career, and it will almost certainly be a special one for what could be Atlanta's lone representative in the game. Ronald Acuña Jr. made his season debut in the @Braves' 50th game. Now he is slated to start the All-Star Game. The only other player in MLB history to start the All-Star Game despite not making his season debut until his team's 50th game or later was Joe DiMaggio in 1949. — OptaSTATS (@OptaSTATS) July 3, 2025 Acuña's selection is more than deserved, as he is having an excellent season fresh off of his second ACL tear in four years. He has a .346 average with five doubles, nine home runs, 18 RBIs and a 1.063 OPS. Acuña is the lone reason that folks are giving the Braves even the slightest of hopes in the NL playoff picture. It is a safe assumption to say that the Braves will not be making any kind of heroic run to the World Series like they did in 2021, but it would certainly not be impossible if Acuña could get similar offensive production from any of his teammates.
