Adrian Houser throws up in dugout, returns to mound against surging Blue Jays squad in remarkable display
After the first inning of the White Sox's game against the Toronto Blue Jays, Houser was seen puking in the dugout.
However, he returned to the mound for the second inning and has been there ever since.
It's unclear why Houser got sick, but this is something he's had to deal with in the past.
While a member of the Milwaukee Brewers, Houser threw up two separate instances, but the result was the same.
He never came out of the game.
The first was in 2018, when Houser vomited twice during an inning against the Philadelphia Phillies. He let up two doubles in the inning, allowing one run. But he never came out of the game.
Afterward, manager Craig Counsell told reporters that Houser wasn't pitching sick, but rather the heat, not eating enough and nerves contributed to him puking.
Then, in the following season, Houser puked in the first inning against the Texas Rangers. He was just four batters in the game when it happened, but he never left.
Instead, Houser went on to strike out 10 batters as the Brewers won the game.
The White Sox are hoping Houser's efforts after getting sick are worth it, as they're looking to snap Toronto's 10-game win streak.
At the time of this article, the White Sox are leading the Blue Jays, 2-1, after six innings from Houser.

Giants catcher Patrick Bailey's stats show he's the best defender in all of MLB
Aside from his recent walk-off inside-the-park home run, Patrick Bailey doesn't always deliver with his bat for the San Francisco Giants. But he more than makes up for it when he puts on his catching gear. Advertisement So far this season, Bailey has a case as the best defensive player in all of Major League Baseball. Not just catcher, mind you, but any position. Catcher defense can still be a bit tough to evaluate. How much value do you put statistically on framing and blocking and throwing relative to the more overlapping skills at the rest of the positions in the field? But the analysis on catcher contributions has gotten better in recent years, so it's fair to take those statistics from Fangraphs as legitimate. MORE: Cal Raleigh puts up stats never before seen in MLB history Bailey is on top of that list right ahead of Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk before the next two players on the defensive leaderboard there are shortstops Nick Allen and Bobby Witt Jr. Advertisement His value behind the plate far outweighs any struggles Bailey might have at the plate. And there are few things more important on a baseball diamond than a truly high-end defensive catcher. MORE MLB NEWS:

Will Lionel Messi Play Tonight For Inter Miami Vs Nashville?
Will Lionel Messi Play Tonight For Inter Miami Vs Nashville? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Lionel Messi Set to Start as Inter Miami Faces Nashville SC Lionel Messi has been at the heart of Inter Miami's recent run of form, scoring in four consecutive matches and leading Major League Soccer in goal contributions. As Miami prepares to take on Nashville SC tonight at Chase Stadium, the biggest question was whether their star forward would be fit to play — and all signs now point to a resounding yes. Advertisement Messi was initially listed as doubtful after Inter Miami's Club World Cup loss to Paris Saint-Germain, but following a few days of rest, he made a strong return to MLS action. In the comeback win against CF Montréal, Messi scored twice. He followed that up with another two-goal performance against the New England Revolution — both goals coming in the first half. Now, with momentum on their side, Inter Miami is not only preparing for tonight's game but also reportedly working on an offer for Messi's Argentina teammate, Rodrigo De Paul, currently at Atlético Madrid. The potential signing would further solidify Miami's ambitions to build a dominant squad around their captain. Heading into the matchup against Nashville SC, Messi is fully fit and expected to start. Based on his recent performances, he's likely to make an impact early — with a goal or assist in the first 25 minutes not out of the question. Kickoff is set for tonight in Nashville, Tennessee, and with Messi on the pitch, Miami will once again be the team to watch. Advertisement Lionel Messi's updated stats for the 2025 MLS regular season Lionel Messi is having one of the best seasons with Inter Miami since it joined the club two years ago on a free transfer. According to Footystats, Messi averages one goal every 4.6 shots. Here are more stats from Lionel Messi in the 2025 MLS season. Appearances : 15 (14 starts, 1 as a substitute) Goals : 14 Assists : 8 Shots : 75 total, with roughly 65% on target Goals + assists (G+A) : 22 Expected Assists (xA) : Approximately 0.43 per 90 minutes Shots per 90 : Around 3.7 Goal conversion rate: About one goal every 4.6 shots This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 12, 2025, where it first appeared.

Steelers' T.J. Watt trade appears closer after this update
T.J. Watt is the face of the Pittsburgh Steelers. But the chances of him getting traded appear to be rising a bit based on the latest report. Mark Kaboly, who is the Steelers correspondent for The Pat McAfee Show, has said Pittsburgh is calling around the league to assess Watt's trade value. Advertisement Kaboly said it is just Pittsburgh doing "due diligence." In many ways, that's a fair thing for the Steelers to be doing. It's good to understand the value of players on your team to other teams. On the other hand, if there was no chance of trading Watt, would Pittsburgh be making any calls at all? He's seeking a jumbo contract extension, and coming off his worst sack number in a full season since his rookie year, Watt may not quite feel worth $40 million or more per year to the Steelers. MORE: How good was LeBron at football? NBA legend would have been 'one of the best' in NFL Advertisement It'd be tough to judge what another team would have to give up to get Watt, because there'd be the assumption that the acquiring team would also be prepared to shell out a huge contract for Watt, too. It's something to keep an eye on as the season gets closer, though. Watt would surely like to get a deal done before Week 1, if possible. It could come down to what kind of deal the Steelers really want to make, be it a new contract or some kind of trade. MORE NFL NEWS:
