Yankees' Max Fried Announces Injury Update After Leaving Cubs Game
Left-handed starting pitcher Max Fried is in his ninth MLB season, and his first with the New York Yankees.

The 31-year-old ace was originally drafted by the San Diego Padres but was traded to the Atlanta Braves in 2014 and made his big-league debut in 2017.
Fried blossomed in Atlanta, earning two All-Star selections, two Gold Glove awards, and finishing top five in NL Cy Young voting twice. He also helped lead the Braves to their first World Series championship in more than two decades during the 2021 postseason.
As a result of his success, the Yankees signed him last offseason to an eight-year $218 million contract, making him the highest-paid left-hander in MLB history.

In his first season in the Bronx, Fried has taken over the rotation's top spot after Gerrit Cole suffered a UCL tear in March.

On Saturday, during a game against the Chicago Cubs, he developed a blister on his left index finger and was removed after just three innings of work.
After Sunday's series finale, Fried said it's still too early to say if he'll pitch against his former team next weekend, though he noted the blister is 'moving in the right direction' and 'getting better.'
Selected to his third All-Star team last week, Fried leads MLB with 11 wins. In 20 starts this season, he has posted a 2.43 ERA and recorded 113 strikeouts over 122 innings.
The southpaw has been a major factor for the Yankees, and any extended absence would hinder their second-half playoff push.

Rep. Jim Jordan may be deposed over OSU sex abuse scandal
Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan could be deposed over allegations he knew about the sexual assaults perpetrated by Ohio State University Dr. Richard Strauss but failed to protect the student wrestlers, according to a report. Jordan, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, served as the assistant coach for the wrestling team from 1978 to 1998. Students discussed their alleged assaults with Jordan and other staff members, according to claims made in a civil suit brought by dozens of former students against the school. The Congressman, who is not a defendant in the case, may be deposed as soon as Friday, four plaintiffs told NBC News. A lawyer for the plaintiffs confirmed to The Independent that Jordan is scheduled to be deposed. Jordan has repeatedly denied any involvement in the alleged cover-up. 'As everyone knows, Chairman Jordan never saw or heard of any abuse, and if he had, he would have dealt with it,' Russell Dye, a spokesperson for Jordan, told The Independent. Congressman Jim Jordan is scheduled to be deposed in connection with a civil suit over the sex abuse scandal at Ohio State University, where he served as assistant wrestling coach (Getty Images) The expected deposition comes one month after HBO released the documentary Surviving Ohio State, 20 years after Strauss died. Survivors first emerged with allegations in 2018. In the documentary, Dan Ritchie, who wrestled at the university from 1988 to 1992, alleged that Strauss was known to conduct unnecessary genital exams with ungloved hands. Ritchie claimed Jordan addressed these rumors directly with his athletes, telling them: 'If he ever did that to me, I'd snap his neck like a stick of dry balsa wood.' Mike DiSabato, who wrestled for Jordan and was the first to launch allegations against Strauss, told NBC News that he expects the Ohio Republican to 'triple down' on his denials. 'I assume he's going to triple down and follow the same script he followed back in 2018 when he went on Fox and denied knowing about any abuse, denied being told of any abuse, never heard the word 'abuse,'' DiSabato told the outlet. Steve Snyder-Hill, a former OSU student who alleges abuse by Strauss, recalled in the documentary: 'Somebody asked me one time, they said, 'Are you a survivor or are you a victim?' He reflected: 'I had to think about that, and I thought, you know what? I'm a survivor of sexual assault, but I'm a victim of OSU.' He plans to watch the deposition Friday, he told NBC News. 'I expect him to lie under oath,' Snyder-Hill said of Jordan. 'I don't know a nicer way to put it.' Jordan's locker was very close to Strauss so Snyder-Hill doubts Jordan's claims that he didn't know what was going on. Snyder-Hill told the outlet: 'That's hard to believe.' Since the initial investigations emerged, the university has paid more than $60 million in settlement money to nearly 300 survivors. Michael V. Drake, who served as OSU president when the scandal broke and the investigations began, issued a statement on behalf of the school at the time apologizing 'to each person who endured Strauss' abuse.' He said: 'Our institution's fundamental failure at the time to prevent this abuse was unacceptable – as were the inadequate efforts to thoroughly investigate complaints raised by students and staff members.'

2025 Arizona Cardinals training camp roster preview: OL Kelvin Beachum
The Arizona Cardinals report to training camp on July 22 and begin the process of preparing for the regular season, forming the roster and determining starting jobs and roles on the team. Leading up to the start of camp, we will take a look at every player on the offseason roster, their background, their contract, their play in 2024, questions they face and their roster outlook. Next up is offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum. Kelvin Beachum background, 2024 season Beachum, now 36 years old, enters his 14th NFL season and his sixth with the Cardinals. He was drafted in the seventh round in 2012 by the Pittsburgh Steelers and has started 161 games in his career. He has been a starter for almost his entire career, appearing in 189 total games. After four years with the Steelers, a season with the Jacksonville Jaguars and three with the New York Jets, he signed a one-year contract with the Cardinals in 2020. Almost exclusively a left tackle for the first eight years of his career, he became the Cardinals' starting right tackle. After that first season, he re-signed for two seasons and was their starting right tackle for another two seasons. In 2023, he signed a two-year deal again to return but moved into a backup role. He started the final two games of the year at left tackle after D.J. Humphries tore his ACL. In 2024, after Paris Johnson, who replaced Beachum as the starting right tackle in 2023, moved to the left side, Jonah Williams was signed to start, but Beachum ended up starting 12 games between left tackle and right tackle as Williams missed 11 games with a knee injury and Johnson missed the final three, also injuring his knee. Kelvin Beachum 2025 contract details, cap hit Beachum re-signed for the 2025 season, a one-year deal worth $4 million. He received a $1.5 million signing bonus and will earn a guaranteed $1.99 million in salary and up to $510,000 in per-game roster bonuses. His will count nearly $4 million against the cap. Questions he faces, roster outlook Beachum is ageless. He has no intention of stepping away from the game yet and retiring, and he believes he can still play. Can he continue to defy Father Time? Ideally, though, he won't have to have significant playing time because that would mean Johnson and Williams stay healthy. But he is a lock to make the roster and is locked in as the backup swing tackle, the first to fill in for either Williams or Johnson.
