Colorado Rockies game no. 89 thread: Jonathan Cannon vs. Germán Márquez
Germán Márquez (3-9, 5.62 ERA) had himself quite the month of June. In six starts he posted a 2.97 ERA over 30 1⁄ 3 innings while striking out 29 against eight walks. It was classic Márquez that has placed him name among trade candidates that teams could be calling about this month. His last outing against the Milwaukee Brewers was a strong one as he allowed two runs on three his over 5 2⁄ 3 innings of work.

Jonathan Cannon (2-7, 4.59 ERA) has had a bit of a rough year for Chicago despite his numbers reflecting his stats from last season. The young righty recently came off the injured list on June 29 after missing most of the month. He was eased in during his last start against the San Francisco Giants, allowing one run on three hits over three innings with three walks and four strikeouts. His command has been quite shaky this season, and he won't necessarily get a ton of strikeouts but the Rockies should be careful to not get overly aggressive at the plate and swing at bad pitches.

Draft picks Hugo Gonzalez, Amari Williams highlight Celtics Summer League roster
What should we expect from the Celtics after roster was gutted in offseason? What should we expect from the Celtics after roster was gutted in offseason? What should we expect from the Celtics after roster was gutted in offseason? The Boston Celtics will get an early look at the team's three draft picks over the next week. Hugo Gonzalez, Amari Williams, and Max Shulga are all on the C's roster for the NBA 2K26 Summer League 2025, which was announced Tuesday. Boston drafted Gonzalez with the 28th overall pick out of Spain, where the 19-year-old just wrapped up his season for Real Madrid. The young forward will not head back overseas for the 2025-26 season and will have a chance to earn some playing time as a rookie in Boston. Williams was drafted 46th overall out of Kentucky, and could also earn some playing time as a rookie. The Celtics have lost both Kristaps Porzingis and Luke Kornet this offseason, and with Al Horford potentially departing as well, Boston is going to need depth in its frontcourt. Gonzalez, Williams, and Shulga -- a sharpshooting guard taken 57th overall out of VCU -- will play their first pro games in a Celtics uniform Friday night in Las Vegas. Celtics 2025 Summer League Roster Jalen Bridges, F (Phoenix Suns) Kendall Brown, G (Indiana Pacers) Hugo Gonzalez, F (Real Madrid, Spain) Hayden Gray, G (UC-San Diego, NCAA) Ben Gregg, F (Gonzaga, NCAA) Zach Hicks, F (Penn State, NCAA) Kenny Lofton, F/C (Sahnghai Dongfang, China) Miles Norris, F (Celtics) Baylor Scheierman, G/F (Celtics) Aaron Scott, F (St. John's, NCAA) Max Shulga, G (VCU, NCAA) Jordan Walsh, F (Celtics) Amari Williams, C (Kentucky, NCAA) Iaaiah Wong, G (Zalgiris, Lithuania/Charlotte Hornets) This could be the summer of Scheierman, who is expected to play a fairly big role on the Celtics come October. Last summer, he averaged 11.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.4 assists in five Summer League games. This is also a big summer for Walsh, as he gets set to enter his third season with the Celtics. The forward averaged 9.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in his five Summer League games for the Celtics in 2024. Two-way forward Miles Norris is also back in the mix this summer, after he played in three games for Boston last season. Norris also played in eight games for the Maine Celtics in the G League, where he averaged 14.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. The roster is made up of a number of undrafted free agents along with former NBA players looking for another shot in the league. Kenny Lofton Jr. is one of the more intriguing players, as he's fresh off winning MVP of the Chinese Basketball Association for the Shanghai Sharks. Lofton Jr. has spent time in the NBA with the Memphis Grizzlies, Philadelphia 76ers, and Utah Jazz, in addition to stints in the G League. Celtics 2025 Summer League Schedule Game 1: Friday, July 11 vs. Grizzlies, 4pm Game 2: Saturday, July 12 vs. Knicks, 5:30pm Game 3: Monday, July 14 at Heat, 8pm Game 4: Thursday, July 17 vs. Lakers, 9pm Game 5: TBD The 2025 Summer League will take place at the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Each team in the Summer League will play at least five games. Following the first four games, the top four teams (based on winning percentage and a number of tiebreakers) will advance to the playoffs, which will tip off with a semifinal doubleheader on Saturday, July 19. The two winning teams will then meet in the championship game on Monday, July 20 at 10 p.m. The 26 teams that do not qualify for the playoffs will play a consolation game on either July 20 or July 21.

Team Clark or Team Collier? Our experts draft their WNBA All-Star squads
Who will Caitlin Clark pick? Who will Napheesa Collier take? The WNBA All-Star Game captains will select their rosters in a draft at 7 p.m. (ET) Tuesday, airing on ESPN's 'WNBA Countdown.' Choosing their season-long teammates or optimizing their rosters with a balance of guards and bigs? Lots of interesting decisions await. Our WNBA experts at The Athletic, Sabreena Merchant and Ben Pickman, joined 'No Offseason' host Zena Keita to take on the task in a mock draft. Based on a coin flip, Pickman represented Team Clark, and Merchant represented Napheesa Collier. (The transcript has been edited for length and clarity.) Pickman: I'm going to take the other best player available. Before I get into the positional weeds, I will go with A'ja Wilson. We know Caitlin Clark is going to take Aliyah Boston first, but I personally, as Ben Pickman, will be taking A'ja Wilson. Advertisement Merchant: I'm going to take (Breanna Stewart). Pickman: Give me Sabrina Ionescu. Guards have won the WNBA All-Star MVP every year since 2013. … Give me Sabrina for some more shooting. Merchant: We'll keep the UConn train rolling here. I'll take Paige. Keita: Staying within the lineage. Geno would be proud, Phee. Ok, Caitlin, you're up. Pickman: Paige was going to be my next choice, so I have to reevaluate this draft. I am going to take Allisha Gray. Keita: Oh my gosh, just guard heavy over here. Pickman: All-Star Game performer. Keita: Whether she shows up in the game or the skills or anything, you know she's got a good track record coming in from last year. So far Caitlin only has one big. Phee, you've got two bigs and Paige. Where do you want to go next? Merchant: There's no more guards left in this pool, so we'll just keep choosing bigs. That's fine. I'll go with Nneka (Ogwumike) Keita: Going across the country to Stanford. Merchant: No more UConns left. What are you going to do? Keita: They'll take the Cardinal in nicely. Ok, Caitlin, who do you want next? Pickman: Again, because I am playing the role of myself, I am taking Satou Sabally. That means Aliyah Boston will get assigned to Sabreena's Napheesa Collier team. The WNBA All-Star draft with Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier is tonight — but will air tomorrow. Clark said 'I think there's a high chance that Kels and AB are on my team.' That's the goal. — Scott Agness (@ScottAgness) July 7, 2025 Keita: We've got Caitlin's team so far: A'ja Wilson, Sabrina Ionescu, Allisha Gray, Satou Sabally. This is a solid starting lineup.I really like this balance here. And then Napheesa Collier, I'll tell you what, you've got some size. Some big bodies. Merchant: This is the issue with the that way the pool is assigned, where the guards also include threes. So I'm just basically picking from fours and fives. Advertisement Keita: Pretty much. Napheesa Collier, Breanna Stewart, Paige Bueckers, Nneka Ogwumike and Aliyah Boston. Ok, Phee, now we are going to go into the reserves. You've got first pick, so you've got a chance to maybe bolster your perimeter. Merchant: Yeah, I think that's going to be necessary. I'm going to have to take some guards here. Very good guard group in the reserve selection. We can have some fun here. I do think .. I kind of want some shooting. Let's go Kelsey Mitchell. I've got two Indiana people in Indiana at least, trying to make up for the fact that Caitlin's on the other team. Keita: That's OK. Caitlin will have to be on the sideline watching her pick-and-roll executed right in front of her. All right, Caitlin, what you want? Pickman: Before I make a total strategy shift, I'm going to take Kelsey Plum, and just continue to load up on guards. Kelsey Plum, a former All-Star Game MVP. Reunite her with A'ja Wilson in this game. Keita: There's a lot of size over here on the Phee size. Merchant: I feel good about it. It's all very versatile size. Stewie played the five over the weekend. She could easily play the one or the two for this particular roster. Keita: You pretty much have a team that can take the ball off the rim and go, outside of Aliyah Boston maybe. Let's keep going, Phee, what do you want? Merchant: Speaking of players who can take the ball off the rim and go, I'm tempted to take Alyssa Thomas here, but she has not shown a lot of interest in All-Star Games before. So I'm not sure if this is the play that I want to take her. Let's just get a little more ballhandling. I'm going to go with Skylar Diggins. Keita: Love that choice. Skylar Diggins and Nneka getting to play again together. I like it. Caitlin, what's the rebuttal? Pickman: I'm going to take Angel (Reese). A little size, frontcourt presence and rebounding. Keita: Also somebody who can take the ball off the rim and go. There you go. ⭐️2x ALL-STAR BARBIE⭐️ Angel Reese is officially a 2025 WNBA All-Star🤩 — Chicago Sky (@chicagosky) July 6, 2025 Merchant: All right, in terms of getting some more players on the same team who are teammates, we'll go with Courtney Williams here. Keita: You're getting a lot of buckets. I like the quick foot speed on this side. Pickman: Sabreena called it out. Alyssa Thomas, not really a fan of All-Star Games, not really a fan of putting up big numbers in them, I should say. But I will take AT. Advertisement Keita: Let's pause real quick and see how we're looking. Caitlin team's … let's go guards. You've got Caitlin, but Caitlin's still dealing with that groin injury. Kelsey Plum, Allisha Gray, Sabrina Ionescu. That's some solid (guard play). Alyssa Thomas and Angel Reese both two players who can give you that frontcourt size but also the ability to take the ball and go and distribute. … You've got some versatility. And then Satou Sabally, of course, that can play three, four, two, whatever you want. OK, Caitlin's team's looking solid. And of course, A'ja Wilson, you can never doubt her. Then Phee's team: You've got Napheesa Collier, Paige Bueckers, Nneka Ogumike, Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, Skylar Diggins, Courtney Williams. I like this veteran presence in the guards. This is cool. I like this. You've got some veterans that know how to be All-Stars, know how to play the game, know how to entertain us in the All-Star Game, and are also very competitive. I feel like this game might get spicy the way you have this broken out. Let's round out. You each have three more picks. Merchant: I am going to take Jackie Young. Pickman: I will keep a reunion together. I will take Rhyne Howard of the Atlanta Dream, pairs with Allisha Gray. Keita: Very nice. Big guard energy. Phee, who do you want next? Merchant: We can keep all the Storm together. I'll take Gabby Williams. Pickman: We have three players left: Sonia Citron, Kayla Thornton and Kiki Iriafen. All three first-timers. Who is going to have the best game in an All-Star Game context? These are all good teammates, can be unselfish players at times. It'll be interesting to see if any of them have big games when the actual exhibition kicks off. I am going to take Kayla Thornton. I think repping for the Valkyries, wanting to show out for the expansion fans in this game. Advertisement Keita: Now, Phee, you have a choice between two rookies. The Mystics. You've got to break them up regardless. Which one do you want? Merchant: I think I'm going to take Citron. I'm a little worried about leaving all of the really good offensive rebounders on Team Caitlin, but every time I see Citron guard Paige Bueckers, I don't think Paige likes it, so we're going to keep Citron. Keita: That means Caitlin / Ben, you're rounding out with Kiki Irafen. You 've got some solid size presence. You had me in the first half a little concerned, but now you've rounded out nicely with your reserves. Phee, I was a little concerned that you couldn't get the ball up the floor, but now you've got really good guard presence.
