McShane opts out of Tyrone panel ahead of All-Ireland SFC
Tyrone have been dealt a blow ahead of the beginning of the All-Ireland SFC as forward Cathal McShane has stepped away from the panel.
McShane's last appearance for the Red Hands came last month as he was drafted into Malachy O'Rourke's starting 15 for their Ulster Championship opener against Cavan with Darragh Canavan ruled out through injury.
The All-Ireland winning forward was not named in the matchday squad for Tyrone's semi-final defeat to Armagh as Canavan and Mark Bradley returned from injury.
The Owen Roes attacker made just one National League appearance this season, coming off the bench to kick a point in Tyrone's defeat at Mayo in February.
McShane made his inter-county debut a decade ago against Donegal in 2015 and throughout his time in red and white he picked up three Ulster SFC medals (2016, 2017 and 2021) alongside his All-Ireland SFC medal in 2021.
McShane won an All-Star for his performances in 2019, finishing as the All-Ireland SFC's top scorer, kicking 3-48 in nine games.
He suffered a serious ankle injury in a league game at Galway at the beginning of the 2020 season before returning to help Tyrone win the All-Ireland title in 2021, scoring goals off the bench in their semi-final win over Kerry and in the decider against Mayo.
The 29-year-old's absence will prove a blow to O'Rourke and the wider Tyrone squad as they head into an All-Ireland round-robin series starting with a trip to the Ulster champions before hosting Mayo and taking on Cavan at a neutral venue.

Ichiro Suzuki makes history as the 1st Asian MLB Hall of Famer
[Source] Ichiro Suzuki was officially inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on July 27, becoming the first Asian-born player ever to receive the sport's highest honor. The 51-year-old Aichi native, whose electrifying career began in Japan before transforming Major League Baseball with the Seattle Mariners, received near-unanimous support from the Baseball Writers' Association of America and was celebrated in Cooperstown for his record-breaking achievements on both sides of the Pacific. Suzuki's legendary MLB career includes more than 3,000 hits, 10 Gold Glove Awards and 10 All-Star selections. In 2004, he set the American League single-season record with 262 hits. When his professional hits in Japan are combined with his MLB total, Suzuki's 4,367 hits are recognized as the most by any player in the history of top-tier professional baseball. He is also the only MLB player to reach both 3,000 hits and 500 stolen bases. During the induction ceremony, Suzuki delivered a speech that blended humor with reflection, telling the crowd, 'For the third time, I am a rookie,' referencing his journeys in Japan, MLB and now the Hall of Fame. He spoke of the inspiration he drew from his first visit to Cooperstown and credited his fans and mentors for his long-standing success. The Mariners plan to retire Suzuki's No. 51 jersey in August in honor of his achievements.

Royals pitcher Kris Bubic to miss rest of season with rotator cuff injury
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — All-Star pitcher Kris Bubic of the Kansas City Royals will miss the rest of the season with a strained rotator cuff. The 27-year-old lefty is 8-7 with a 2.55 ERA this season, earning his first All-Star selection. He gave up three runs and recorded just one out in the Midsummer Classic, then left Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians after allowing three earned runs on three hits and four walks in 2 2/3 innings. 'Physically, something's not right,' he said. Bubic was placed on the injured list Sunday. ___ AP MLB: The Associated Press

The tricky trade deadline spot youngsters' firepower has forced upon Mets
SAN DIEGO — Look no further than the production the Mets have received from their young players as the team's biggest developing storyline since the All-Star break. Notable contributions from Brett Baty, Ronny Mauricio, Francisco Alvarez and Mark Vientos have offered a tantalizing reminder of this lineup's potential. Advertisement For a significant stretch, none from that 25-and-under bunch were producing, creating angst at the bottom of the batting order. But suddenly the four have helped the Mets win, easing pressure on the stars who seemed almost on their own in this lineup for the first 100 games. It was a seven-game winning streak for the Mets as they arrived at Petco Park on Monday to face the Padres, removing the bad vibes that surrounded the team during a June swoon that threatened to hijack the season.
