Clemson outfielder Cam Cannarella gets new 2025 MLB draft projection
The 2025 MLB Draft is set for July 13-14 during All-Star Week festivities in Atlanta, and Clemson baseball has its own star hoping to hear his name called on day one.
That player, of course, is outfielder Cam Cannarella, who put together a terrific season as a junior. Cannarella hit .353 overall with five home runs and 22 doubles, posting an on-base percentage of .479 in 61 games.
He closed the year with a 22-game hitting streak and went 8-for-14 in the Clemson Regional of the NCAA Tournament, finishing with two home runs and two doubles in his final college showcase.
Over the weekend, veteran baseball analyst Jim Callis of MLB.com published his updated 2025 MLB mock draft. Callis has Cannarella going to the New York Mets with the No. 38 overall selection as a supplemental first-round pick.
A recent mock draft last week by USA TODAY Sports had Cannarella going slightly higher at No. 30 overall to the Baltimore Orioles.
In three years at Clemson for coach Erik Bakich, Cannarella batted .360 with 23 home runs, 54 doubles and a combined 1.004 OPS. In the field, he made a memorable Willie Mays-styled catch in the 2023 Clemson Super Regional in front of a national audience watching on ESPN.
Clemson has had 20 players taken in the first round of an MLB draft dating back to 1968. Infielder Logan Davidson was the last Tigers player selected in the first round and was the No. 29 overall by the Athletics in 2019.
The first round of the 2025 MLB draft will be televised on ESPN, with subsequent rounds broadcast and streamed on MLB Network. The draft will feature 20 rounds over two days.

Angels manager Ron Washington to remain on medical leave for remainder of season
The Los Angeles Angels announced that manager Ron Washington will stay on medical leave for the remainder of the 2025 season with an unspecified medical issue. Washington, 73, has been sidelined for the last week after he experienced shortness of breath at the end of the Angels' series against the New York Yankees that ended on June 19. Following that series, Washington flew back to Southern California and was placed on medical leave after he underwent a series of tests. Washington is currently the oldest manager in MLB. "We're starting to see the personality of the team take the personality of (Ron Washington)," Angels general manager Perry Minasian said in a statement. "There's some resiliency, there's some toughness, and that's exactly what Ron is. "(The players) are going to go out there and play as hard as they play for Ron, day in and day out." Angels bench coach Ray Montgomery, who filled for Washington when he was initially placed on medical leave, was named interim manager. Washington was hired by the Angels prior to the 2024 season, and is 103-140 in 243 games with the team. He was the manager of the Texas Rangers for eight seasons (2007-2014) and had a 664-611 record with them. He led the Rangers to back-to-back World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011 before stepping down abruptly in September 2014. The Angels are 40-41 on the season, and have a 7-4 record with Montgomery at the helm. This is Montgomery's first time as an MLB manager in his coaching career. He joined the Angels as their director of player personnel for the 2020 season and became the team's bench coach in 2021. The Angels lost 15-9 to the Washington Nationals on Friday and will look to rebound when they play the Nationals in the second game of their three-game series at 9:38 p.m. ET on Saturday.

Red Sox Receive Positive Update on Alex Bregman's Recovery
Red Sox Receive Positive Update on Alex Bregman's Recovery originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman is beginning to ramp up baseball activities as he continues recovering from a right quad strain that landed him on the injured list back on May 24. Advertisement Manager Alex Cora confirmed Friday that Bregman took swings and is scheduled to take ground balls on Saturday, marking a notable step in his rehab process. "It's Week 5. We'll reassess the situation in Week 6, and then from there, we'll probably have a better idea when he's going to come back," Cora said at Fenway Park via MassLive's Christopher Smith. Although there is still no definitive timetable for Bregman's return, Cora is encouraged by the veteran's progress. 'He's progressing very well,' he said. 'No timetable yet.' Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman looks on during the first inning against the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Kucin Jr.-Imagn Images Bregman was in the midst of a stellar campaign before the injury. Over 51 games, he was slashing .299/.385/.553. He tallied 11 home runs (still third on the team) and 35 RBIs while also flashing the leather with three defensive runs saved, according to FanGraphs. Advertisement Despite missing more than a month, Bregman remains a finalist in All-Star voting among American League third basemen, having made it to phase two of fan voting – another testament to his pre-injury production. Cora emphasized the importance of not rushing the 31-year-old slugger back: 'I don't think he's pushing faster than what he can. I think he's pushing because he feels good. So, we just have to be patient and be smart about it. And whenever he's ready, he's ready.' While they wait for Bregman to return, the Red Sox look to snap a six-game losing streak this weekend against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Eagles rookie Ty Robinson receives another positive endorsement
The buzz keeps building as an Eagles rookie earns more praise from the media. This is probably a safe guess. Since you've watched the Philadelphia Eagles all your life, those of you who also love the college game have probably kept one eye on the Big Ten. These days, that's certainly harder than ever as it's now two schools short of becoming 'The Big 20'. Even with all of that being said, your Pennsylvania affiliations more than likely kept you from watching a ton of Nebraska football. Tom Osborne left a long time ago, and if we're being honest, most Eagles fans lost track of Matt Rhule after Philadelphia beat his Carolina Panthers in Week 5 of the 2021 season. The 2025 NFL Draft brought about some changes. Philadelphia drafted a Nebraska Cornhusker in Round 4, and though discipline tells us not to put too much stock in a rookie until he has played meaningful snaps, it's hard not to be excited. This guy's nickname is the 'Vanilla Gorilla' for Heaven's sake. ESPN's Tim McManus names Ty Robinson's selection as the Eagles' most underrated move They say offense sells tickets, and defense wins championships. One of the most significant talking points we've heard all offseason is the number of players lost from the defensive roster. Frankly, that take seems overstated. One of those weapons is rookie Ty Robinson, the aforementioned 'Vanilla Gorilla'. Gosh, it's easy to fall in love with that nickname, and it's easy to love what Tim McManus said about him. Tim is ESPN's Eagles insider, and he recently participated in an NFC East roundtable. Once the topic turned to each team's most underrated move, Robinson earned his shout-out. "Drafting DT Ty Robinson in the fourth round (was Philly's most underrated move). With minimal contact during OTA and minicamp practices, the offseason program isn't exactly conducive to properly evaluating linemen. But that hasn't stopped some of his new teammates from speaking highly of the Nebraska product. "That boy is fire, I ain't going to lie," DT Jalen Carter said. "He's moving good. He's a big boy. ... I think he's going to have a big impact this season." Robinson's NCAA career ended with 134 tackles, including 27 for loss. He also racked up a dozen sacks and 12 pass breakups. He earned Third-team All-Big Ten honors in his swan song with the Cornhuskers last season. This next part, however, is the best part of the story. Rhule gave him a single-digit jersey number, an honor reserved for the tough players on his team who have earned his respect. Ladies and gentlemen, we all loved Milton Williams and are sorry he's gone, but Ty Robinson isn't going to settle into this defense just fine.
