Gold Glove shortstop Ezequiel Tovar back in Rockies' lineup after oblique injury

Breakthrough coming? USA TODAY Sports Network's Big Ten football preseason rankings tabs Penn State as best
INDIANAPOLIS — One of the fiercest rivalries in all of sports has teams who represented the Big Ten quite well as College Football Playoff national champions in consecutive years. But it's a team that has for years played third fiddle that is picked to break the glass ceiling it has faced. A pool of writers across the USA TODAY Sports Network from coast to coast were polled on who will win the league, and Penn State was the preseason choice to win the championship Dec. 6 at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Nittany Lions have not won the Big Ten since 2016, their only time supplanting Ohio State and Michigan in the defunct East Division. Penn State lost to Oregon, 45-37, in last year's championship game, the first without divisions, but went on to reach a CFP national semifinal where they lost to eventual national runner-up Notre Dame. It may be Penn State's best chance to win a national championship for the first time in 39 years. Though its 1994 team went undefeated, it was Nebraska that claimed the national title after beating Miami in the BCS national championship game. The Nittany Lions will have competition, though, as the Big Ten hopes to have a third straight national champion. There was a grouping of Penn State, Ohio State and Oregon as the three programs who were predicted to finish first by network writers. A pool of teams were bunched up in the middle, and another cluster in the lower third. They ranked teams first through 18th with a total points system used to rank teams: a first-place prediction equaled one point and last was 18. The team with the fewest points was ranked first. First-year Purdue football coach Barry Odom has his work cut out for him. His Boilermakers were a consensus pick to finish 18th. Meanwhile in-state rival Indiana is not expected to have much of a drop off from a (tied) second-place finish in Curt Cignetti's first season.

Wyndham Clark feels ‘terrible' about Oakmont locker damage and says he will make good
Wyndham Clark said Sunday he feels 'terrible' about damaging a locker at century-old Oakmont during the US Open and that he wants to make good with the Pittsburgh-area country club and longtime US Open site. Club president John Lynch sent Oakmont members a letter last week saying Clark would not be allowed back on the property until he paid for repairs and got counseling for his anger. Media were not allowed in the locker room, but a photo was leaked. 'I feel terrible with what happened. I'm doing anything I can to try to remedy the situation,' Clark said after he shot 65 in the final round and tied for fourth in the British Open. 'We're trying to keep it private between Oakmont, myself and the USGA. … I'm hoping we can get past this and move on and hope there's no ill will towards me and Oakmont.' It's been a rough year for Clark, who was on the verge of missing a second straight cut in a major when he opened with a 76 at Royal Portrush. He rallied with rounds of 66-66-65 for his best finish in a major since he won the 2023 US Open. He also threw a club at the PGA Championship after a poor tee shot that damaged a sign and nearly hit a volunteer. 'I've been pretty open about my mental shift and change to get better, and I did that in '23 and '24,' Clark said. 'And then having a tough year and all the expectations and just frustration all coming together, and I did two stupid things. 'But one thing that it did do is wake me up and get me back into the person I know I am and the person I want to be,' he said. 'I hope those things don't reflect because I don't think they reflect on who I am, and going forward that stuff is not going to happen again.' The US Open returns to Oakmont in 2033, the final year of Clark's exemption for winning. Asked if he expected to be there, Clark said: 'I don't know. That's up to them. I would hope so. It's a fantastic course and place. I did something awful, and I'm really sorry for it. 'Hopefully, they have it in their heart to forgive me, and maybe in the future I'll be able to play there.' Lynch said in the letter, which was obtained by Golf Digest, that reinstatement would depend on Clark paying for damage, making a meaningful contribution to a charity of the Oakmont board's choice and completing an anger management course. 'Obviously, it's a no-brainer to pay for the damages. That was a given,' Clark said. 'Then obviously all the apologies, and I want to give back to the community because I hurt a great place in Pittsburgh, so I wanted to do anything I can to show them that what happened there was not a reflection of who I am and won't happen again.'
