Jazz Chisholm Jr. doubled up on popup in latest Yankees base-running gaffe
Their latest inexcusable play happened with one out in the second inning of Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins when Paul Goldschmidt hit a routine pop fly to second baseman Xavier Edwards. Jazz Chisholm Jr. was on first base after drawing a walk. After Edwards caught the popup, he caught Chisholm too far off the bag, throwing to first base for a double play to end the inning.

Chisholm remained in the game, but when he got back to the dugout, the Yankees' second baseman and manager Aaron Boone were seen walking down into the clubhouse together. Boone sometimes does this to avoid television cameras picking up conversations between him and his players. Minutes later, Boone was spotted appearing to scold first-base coach Travis Chapman for Chisholm getting thrown out.

On Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays in the ninth inning, Yankees catcher Austin Wells was thrown out on the bases after forgetting how many outs there were. Boone said that mistake 'can't happen,' while Wells called himself an 'idiot' for the base-running gaffe. In Friday's game against the Marlins, the Yankees did not have any base-running blunders, but new addition José Caballero missed a groundball hit to him in right field, which ultimately led to Miami's walk-off win after New York blew leads of 6-0 and 9-4.
The Yankees have struggled this season with basic fundamentals after general manager Brian Cashman said cleaning up the sloppiness was a main objective for his front office. Chisholm getting thrown out on the bases might be the most egregious of the team's mental mistakes this season.

Shedeur Sanders begins preseason buried on Browns depth chart
Shedeur Sanders has battled since being drafted in April to make a name for himself on the Browns roster, but so far, it has not happened. After sitting out a practice this weekend with arm soreness and missing valuable reps, the Browns released their first depth chart of the season, and it wasn't promising as to where Sanders stands in the quarterback competition. The former Colorado Buffaloes signal caller was listed as the Browns' No. 4 quarterback behind Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel. Sanders' performances so far during training camp would suggest that he has not been the fourth-best quarterback on the roster, but rather one of the top-2 options. Given that preseason games don't see starters play for long, Sanders might receive ample playing time on Friday when the Browns face the Panthers to open the preseason. The Browns also signed quarterback Tyler Huntley, who was with Cleveland last season, which may indicate that Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel, who are dealing with hamstring injuries, won't play this week.

'I chose BYU because I feel like it's a place that can help me grow both on and off the court. Coach Young and his staff believe in me, and I know they can help me reach my goals—both to have a successful college career and to play professionally. I think BYU is a special place, and I'm excited to represent it.' What led to his trust in coach Young and the rest of the staff? 'I've had a lot of time to get to know the coaches since they've been recruiting me for a while. They've always been honest when I've asked questions or looked for feedback, and that's helped build a strong level of trust.' In his own words, what type of player is BYU getting in Rueckert? 'I'd describe myself as a three-point shooter who can also attack off the dribble, finish above the rim, or draw the defense and make the right play.' He has a message for BYU fans. 'So many great players have come through BYU, and I'm excited to be part of that legacy. I think big things are coming. Go Cougs!'
