Guardians outfielder Lane Thomas on 10-day IL with right foot injury
CLEVELAND (AP) — Guardians outfielder Lane Thomas was placed on the 10-day injured list because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot Sunday before Cleveland faced the Detroit Tigers.
The move is retroactive to Saturday. Infielder Will Wilson was recalled from Triple-A Columbus

Thomas also missed 11 games in late May and early June because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Manager Stephen Vogt said before the game that next week's All-Star break should hopefully also give Thomas plenty of time to rest up for the second half of the season.
'With eight days until the break, we're not in a position to play short right now and wait day to day. And we want to give this the 13-14 days that we have from now until we come out of the end of the break to really try and knock it out.'
Thomas hit a grand slam in last year's fifth and deciding game of the American League Division Series against Detroit, but his tenure in Cleveland has been mostly frustrating. Since being acquired at the trade deadline last year from Washington, Thomas has a .189 batting average in 92 games.
This season, Thomas is batting .160 and .197 (13 for 66) since coming off the injured list on June 9.

Thomas also missed five weeks because of a right wrist bone bruise after getting hit by a pitch during the April 8 home opener against the Chicago White Sox.
'It's been a frustrating year for Lane. We feel it with him. It's not at all what we want for him. Not at all what he wants,' Vogt said. 'So hopefully with this break we're able to really get this thing under control so that we can get the best version of Lane.'

Sky Player on Temporary Leave Gets Message From Chicago Coach Tyler Marsh
Sky Player on Temporary Leave Gets Message From Chicago Coach Tyler Marsh originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Brazil is moving on to the semifinal of the 2025 FIBA Women's AmeriCup after a dominant 84-61 victory against Mexico on Friday. Advertisement This was thanks in large part to a monster performance from Chicago Sky center Kamilla Cardoso, who exploded for 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting, 16 rebounds, an assist and two blocks, as she helped lead Brazil to their fifth consecutive win in the tournament. Cardoso's big outing made all sorts of waves online, and it also drew the attention of Sky head coach Tyler Marsh. The first-year Chicago shot-caller reposted a screenshot of Cardoso's statline from the win against Mexico. Marsh had a wordless message for his center, too, adding three hyped emojis to his post. Cardoso's performance clearly pumped up Marsh, and the Sky coach just had to express his emotions on Instagram. Advertisement Cardoso has missed Chicago's last two games amid her international obligations. She's made sure to make the most out of her time away from her team, though, averaging 13.8 points on 65.9% shooting, 10.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.2 blocks as one of the most important players on Brazil's roster. Chicago Sky center Kamilla Cardoso (10) during a Gorski-Imagn Images With their win against Mexico, Cardoso and Co. are headed to the semifinal, where they will face off against rivals Argentina on Saturday. Should they win that game, Brazil will fight for the gold medal on Sunday against either the United States or Canada. The Sky, on the other hand, return to action on Sunday in a pivotal matchup against the league-best Minnesota Lynx, and they will still be without Cardoso for that one.

Chicago Sky Coach Had Four Words for Angel Reese on Sunday
Chicago Sky Coach Had Four Words for Angel Reese on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky are back in action on Sunday in a tough road game against the league-best Minnesota Lynx. Chicago is looking to make it back-to-back wins after their 92-85 win over the Los Angeles Sparks in their last game, but it's going to be an undeniably challenging test for them against Napheesa Collier and Co. Advertisement Reese, however, received some big news before the game. This came in the form of the 23-year-old being named an All-Star reserve for a second consecutive year. This development came behind Reese being the driving force for the Sky this season, with averages of 12.4 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.8 steals heading into Sunday's contest against Minnesota. Chicago Sky coach Tyler Marsh caught wind of the news and wasted no time congratulating her star forward. The first-year shot-caller had four words for Reese via Instagram. "Yes ma'am! Congrats 5!" he posted, sharing the Sky's announcement on Reese's All-Star nod. Advertisement Marsh deserves at least some credit for Reese's All-Star selection. The Sky are far from the best team in the WNBA right now — they enter Sunday's game against the Lynx with a 5-11 record and 12th in the league — but the fact that Reese has still been able to shine for Chicago has to count for something.

It is worth noting that, depending on how All-Star captain Caitlin Clark drafts her squad, Reese and Clark could be on the same team yet again for a second consecutive year.

Angel Reese Makes Statement With Outfit For Sky-Lynx Game
Angel Reese Makes Statement With Outfit For Sky-Lynx Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky are playing some of their best basketball of the 2025 WNBA season, winning two of their last three games. Advertisement On Sunday, the Sky looked for their second winning streak of the year, facing MVP favorite Napheesa Collier and the Minnesota Lynx. During her second WNBA season, Reese was again named an All-Star after averaging 12.4 points, 12.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 16 games. But she hasn't escaped the stat-padding accusations, as some fans claim her rebound totals come mostly from collecting her own missed shots, which they call "Mebounds." Yet, Reese flipped the script on her critics by trademarking the phrase 'Mebounds," and using it for her own merchandise. Ahead of Sunday's game, Reese showed off her new gear, wearing a black T-shirt with the word 'Mebounds' across the front outlined in pink. She also went with Nike shorts, Beats headphones and flip flops. Advertisement WNBA fans enjoyed Reese's latest outfit, taking to social media to leave their thoughts. "Let's go angel," one fan said. "Oh she about to give us the calmest 20/20," claimed a second. "Angel?? Another master loading…" wrote a third. "Angel always with the subtle messages rocking the mebounds shirt😜.. I'm feeling the chill vibe today🔥.. LFG!!!!!!!" commented a fourth on Instagram (IG). "LET'S GO ALL STAR," added a fifth on IG. "Mebounds, Shebounds, Reesebounds all equal AllStar bound! Let's go Sky!" replied a sixth on IG. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese caught fans' attention with her "Mebounds" Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Following the Lynx game, the Sky will have a short break before traveling to Fairfax, Virginia to face the Washington Mystics on Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. ET.
