BREAKING NEWS $90m Yankees star DJ LeMahieu left furious as he is ousted from the team after struggling with the 'physical demands' of MLB

Veteran Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu looks set to leave New York after being designated for assignment in a stunning decision by the team. LeMahieu, 36, has struggled with injuries over the past few seasons in the wake of signing a huge $90million, six-year contract in the Covid-affected 2020 season. And now it looks as though he won't play another game for the team after Aaron Boone and GM Brian Cashman ousted him from the team on Wednesday, calling up Jorbit Vivas in his place. The Yanks now have seven days to either trade him or place him on outright or unconditional release waivers, a decision that is complicated by his huge wages - he is due $15m this season. It is expected that the Yankees will lose around $22m on LeMahieu's contract after making the decision to designate him for assignment. In a bombshell tweet from Yankees reporter Brian Hoch, it was revealed that LeMahieu had told the team he was willing to begin working at third base again, but the position had become 'too physically demanding' for him. LeMahieu, the report continues, is said to be furious with the DFA decision after lengthy discussions were held between him and the team's front office on Tuesday. It would now be a surprise to see LeMahieu ever pull on the pinstripes again, and the decision comes just a day after he was transitioned to a bench role. The infielder - who is a two-time batting champion and previous fans' favorite - is hitting just .574 OPS from 142 plate appearances this season, and has seemed a shadow of his former self. Back in 2020, he became the first player in modern history to win the battling title in both the American and National Leagues, first with the Rockies in 2016 and then with the Yankees in 2020.

Gregg Wallace to sue BBC over alleged autism discrimination

Gregg Wallace is reportedly preparing to take legal action against the BBC and the production team behind MasterChef, claiming he was discriminated against due to his autism following his dismissal from the long-running series. The TV presenter and former greengrocer, 59, is at the centre of a formal investigation into allegations of inappropriate conduct during his time on the show. Yesterday, it was revealed that 50 more people had approached the corporation with claims about the TV presenter. Last year the 60-year-old confirmed he was stepping away from MasterChef amid an external review into historical allegations of misconduct. He faced accusations of making 'inappropriate sexual jokes' and lewd comments on set, asking for the phone numbers of female members of production staff, and undressing in front of and standing 'too close' to women working on his shows. While Wallace strongly denies any serious misconduct – including accusations of groping – he admits that his behaviour may have been misinterpreted and attributes much of it to social misunderstandings stemming from his autism, which he was only formally diagnosed with recently. Insiders suggest that Wallace is arguing his sense of humour and communication style was misunderstood in a neurotypical working environment. 'Gregg is guilty of bad jokes and rough humour,' a source told The Telegraph. 'But so many people on the show talked openly about suspecting that he had autism for years before he got his diagnosis.' Wallace, who has been a staple of the BBC's food programming for nearly two decades, claims that his dismissal amounts to workplace discrimination, and sources close to the presenter say he is seeking legal redress under disability rights protections. The BBC has not yet publicly commented on the potential lawsuit or the findings of the internal review, which are expected to outline a pattern of behaviour deemed inappropriate by production staff over several years.

Writing on Instagram, he said: 'After 21 years of loyal service to the BBC, I cannot sit in silence while my reputation is further damaged to protect others. 'I have now been cleared by the Silkins report of the most serious and sensational accusations made against me. 'The most damaging claims (including allegations from public figures which have not been upheld) were found to be baseless after a full and forensic six-month investigation. More Trending 'My decision to go public now is also driven by the fact the BBC News division are intending to platform legally unsafe accusations, including claims which have already been investigated and not upheld by the BBC and found not credible by Silkins.' Wallace continued: 'To be clear, the Silkin's Report exonerates me of all the serious allegations which made headlines last year and finds me primarily guilty of inappropriate language between 2005 and 2018. 'I recognise that some of my humour and language, at times, was inappropriate. For that, I apologise without reservation. But I was never the caricature now being sold for clicks.'

Belinda Bencic knows what she will be thinking about before she goes to sleep Swiss player uses the time before she drifts off to visualise her gameplan for her next match and her next it will be the small matter of a first Wimbledon semi-final, and against five-time major winner Iga Swiatek."She is a big challenge and I'm really excited to play her. We've had some close matches. I will come up with a plan," the 28-year-old former Olympic champion her method of preparation, she said: "I'm not so much of a writer. For me it's more like imagining some plays."It's important for me to do it before I go to sleep. While I'm falling asleep, I go through it unconsciously."It's something that happens naturally and then I'm able to kind of memorise it a little bit." Bencic's sleep could well be broken, though, as her 14-month-old daughter, Bella, is with her in London - not that she is worried."I don't adjust anything, I'm just being a mum at home. When she cries in the night, I'll wake up," said Bencic, who is seeking to become the first mother to win a Wimbledon singles title in 45 years."It's not something that's going to affect me for my [match]."Earlier during Wimbledon, she explained: "I see myself as a mum first, and then tennis player. My priorities are clearly with my family."It has been nearly six years since Bencic last reached the final four of a Grand Slam, ultimately losing in straight sets to Bianca Andreescu in the 2019 US Open been on maternity leave from September 2023 to October 2024, she said she has been "surprised" by how quickly the positive results have started the year ranked 489th in the world and is now projected to break back into the world's top 20 after Wimbledon. Success this year has also included winning the Abu Dhabi WTA 500 title in said motherhood has had a positive impact on her approach to being a professional player, making her "more relaxed" and ensuring she has less time to think about tennis. 'It doesn't end here' Bencic was joined by Bella in the outdoor gym at Aorangi Park on Wednesday morning, playing with medicine balls while her mother prepared for her 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-2) victory over Russian teenager Mirra has also been watched by her daughter from a balcony above court 18, which she said was "kind of unreal"."Sometimes you realise, 'Wow, I'm playing Wimbledon, I have my family here, my daughter is actually watching me'," she said."She will not remember anything - she doesn't realise yet - but still it's a very nice feeling."Bella is too young to be on Centre Court so Bencic's husband - who is also her fitness coach - will once again be absent from the box when she takes on Bencic would not want it any other way."No, she definitely gets the priority," she added. "I'm really happy when he looks after her."It means the world to me to be in the semi-final. It's definitely unreal, but it doesn't end here."
