Browns' Deshaun Watson gets married to longtime girlfriend: 'We sailing away'
The Cleveland Browns quarterback tied the knot with longtime girlfriend, Jilly Anais, earlier this week.
The couple posted their wedding bands on social media, via the New York Post. Watson's shirt had the date of "07.02.25" stitched on his wrist.
The couple took a boat trip around Miami with some close family members to celebrate the marriage.
The Watsons got engaged this past March.
They posted a video to Instagram of themselves dancing outside their car on the road on Friday.
"We sailing away," they wrote.
After rupturing his right Achilles tendon for the second time in three months, it remains unclear whether Watson will miss out on the entire 2025 season. He was initially injured during an October game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but he later ruptured his Achilles for a second time in January.
Earlier this month, the Browns reworked Watson's contract to clear more cap space before the start of the new league year. According to the Associated Press, the restructuring cleared up nearly $36 million in cap space.
It was the second time in three months that the team restructured his lucrative contract.
Watson was acquired by the Browns in 2022 after he signed a fully guaranteed $230 million contract. But the 29-year-old quarterback has only appeared in 19 games for the team after he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in 2023 and an Achilles tendon injury this past season.
He was also suspended for 13 games due to sexual misconduct allegations during his time with the Houston Texans, and he hadn't played the entire 2021 season.
Cleveland made several moves regarding the quarterback position, trading for Kenny Pickett, bringing back Joe Flacco, and drafting both Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders.

Brooks Lee's perfect bunt delivers Twins' walk-off win over Rays
MINNEAPOLIS — Brooks Lee only bunted once before in his professional career and was yelled at. When he bunted again on Saturday afternoon, it resulted in a different kind of yelling. Lee's teammates hollered with delight as he perfectly executed a safety squeeze for a game-winning single, the hit resulting in a 6-5 Twins walk-off victory over the Tampa Bay Rays at Target Field. Lee's ninth-inning, bunt single helped the Twins complete a comeback win and earn their first series victory in a month. Advertisement Royce Lewis drove in two runs, and Kody Clemens belted a game-tying homer for the Twins, who are seeking a series sweep when the teams meet again Sunday. Jhoan Duran earned the victory — the 500th of manager Rocco Baldelli's career — with two scoreless innings pitched. 'I was like, 'Are we bunting?'' Lee said. 'I had to go make sure. But yeah, I was comfortable with it. I thought I was going to get it down, and I saw it happen in my mind, and I did. … It's definitely a different feeling when you walk it off, and it's just a good clubhouse feeling.' The Twins need all the good vibes they can muster. WALK IT OFF, BROOKS!! — (@twinstv) July 5, 2025 They limped home Thursday five games under .500 after a disappointing road trip in which the offense was dormant, losing four of six games in Detroit and Miami. Though Harrison Bader's walk-off home run Friday provided some relief, none of the energy seemed to carry over to Saturday. Early on, the Twins looked like a sad-sack offense, scoring only once in spite of a golden opportunity with the bases loaded and no outs in the second inning. After Lewis singled in a run with an infield nubber, the Twins went down in order and only led 1-0. Tampa Bay took advantage of the Twins' early misfire and raced out to a 5-1 lead, doing most of its damage against rookie pitcher Travis Adams in the middle of a bullpen day. Making his major-league debut, Adams yielded nine hits, which tied a Twins record with three other rookie pitchers. But somehow, the Twins battled back. First on a Lewis two-out RBI single and then a three-run bolt from Clemens in the sixth. And after an outstanding escape by Duran in the ninth, Lee received a chance to lay down a bunt and receive kudos instead of criticism. Following the lead of Duran, who struck out Yandy Díaz with the go-ahead run at third and one out and retired Junior Caminero on an inning-ending fly ball, the Twins perked up. Advertisement Byron Buxton drew a leadoff walk against Rays lefty Garrett Cleavinger and raced to third base on Willi Castro's bounder through the right side. Castro's hit set the stage for Lee, who's never been credited for a successful sacrifice bunt either in the pros or in three seasons at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo. 'They have guys that get swing and miss,' Baldelli said. 'We had some good at-bats, but let's not wait around too long. If Brooks can get the bunt down — and it's not an easy bunt. But if he can get the bunt down, Buck's going to be safe. I just simplified it in my mind like that. (Lee) can lay a bunt down. He's a baseball player. He said, 'That's Big West baseball at its finest.'' Even though Tampa Bay pulled in the infield, the Rays didn't appear to think Lee would bunt. He offered at Cleavinger's first pitch, a 98 mph fastball on the inner half, and perfectly pushed it up the first-base line for a single, which set off a second straight celebration. 'Practiced it like every other day in college,' Lee said. 'Bunted in pro-ball, I think one time, and I got yelled at. … But yeah, I definitely practice it enough times to be comfortable, and it showed off.' The Twins didn't show much against Tampa Bay starter Taj Bradley, who shook off the early jam and pitched well into the middle innings. After Lewis singled with the bases loaded to make it 1-0, Bradley struck out Clemens, got Bader to hit into a fielder's choice and retired Buxton on a towering fly ball to the warning track in left field. Bradley retired 13 of 14 batters following Lewis's single in the second inning. The Twins wasted a one-out Trevor Larnach double in the third inning and then weren't heard from until the sixth inning. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay took advantage of Adams' inability to miss bats, scoring a run in the third, fourth and sixth innings along with a pair in the fifth. Working as part of a bullpen day, Adams allowed five earned runs and nine hits in four innings, striking out one. Advertisement But as quickly as the Twins seemed finished, they woke up. Carlos Correa and Ryan Jeffers started a game-tying rally with a pair of one-out singles in the sixth inning. Lewis provided his teammates with a jolt, a two-out single to right-center field to make it a 5-2 game. Clemens then followed with a stunning, opposite-field, three-run homer off Kevin Kelly to tie the game. KODY CLEMENS TIES IT! — Minnesota Twins (@Twins) July 5, 2025 Griffin Jax followed with a scoreless seventh inning to keep the score tied. Duran then provided his first two-inning outing of the season, though it wasn't easy. The right-hander worked around a one-out double and an intentional walk during a 16-pitch eighth inning. He also surrendered a one-out single in the ninth and watched as Jeffers' throw on a stolen-base attempt by pinch runner José Caballero sailed into center field, allowing the go-ahead run to advance to third. Somehow, Duran escaped. To do so, he struck out Díaz, who whiffs only 13.7 percent of the time, the 18th-lowest total in the majors, with a fastball above the letters. Following a two-out walk, Duran got Caminero to fly out. As impressive as Duran was, he went out of his way to praise Lee's bunt. 'It's always amazing when we do a walk-off,' Duran said. 'It was great and (credit) to Brooks Lee. The first time he did a bunt in the game and to do it for the walk-off. … It's great for us. We need it.'

Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt expected to have season-ending Tommy John surgery
Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt likely needs a second Tommy John surgery that would sideline him for the remainder of this season and much of next year, a huge blow to New York's injury-riddled rotation. Yankees manager Aaron Boone made the announcement Saturday, acknowledging the injury to the ulnar collateral ligament in Schmidt's right elbow. "We're making sure we have all the opinions," Boone said, "but I think it's pretty much inevitable." Schmidt had an MRI on Friday and was placed on the 15-day injured list because of right forearm soreness, one day after his start in Toronto was cut short following three innings. The 29-year-old right-hander, who had Tommy John surgery 8 years ago, is 4-4 with a 3.32 ERA in 14 starts this season for a scuffling Yankees club that had lost five consecutive games. "He's become a really, really good starting pitcher in this league. So, it's a tough blow," Boone said. "Every team has their share of these things that happen and we've got to be able to absorb it and hopefully get some guys back in the mix soon and create another opportunity for somebody else to hopefully step in and pick up the slack." Cam Schlittler, a 24-year-old right-hander, could be the immediate short-term replacement. He is 2-1 with a 3.80 ERA in five starts with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since he was promoted from Double-A Somerset on June 3. "We'll make that call next week," Boone said before his team's Subway Series game against the New York Mets at Citi Field. "Obviously, we'll have to insert somebody. So we're kind of working through that." Yankees ace Gerrit Cole will miss the entire season following Tommy John surgery. Right-hander Luis Gil, sidelined since straining his right lat during spring training, will throw either a third batting practice session Tuesday or Wednesday, or begin a minor league rehab assignment. The reigning AL Rookie of the Year threw to hitters on June 21 for the first time since getting hurt. Left-hander Ryan Yarbrough, out since June 20 because of a right oblique strain, is feeling better and should resume throwing pretty soon, Boone said. Right-hander Yerry de los Santos (elbow discomfort) threw a bullpen Saturday and his buildup is progressing. Schmidt had Tommy John surgery in May 2017, a month before the Yankees selected him with the 16th overall pick in the amateur draft from South Carolina. Now in his sixth major league season, he said he'd been dealing with soreness in his arm since his June 4 outing against Cleveland. Schmidt left a June 21 start versus Baltimore after a career-high 103 pitches in seven hitless innings, part of a streak of 28 1/3 scoreless innings. "When I talked to him a couple hours ago, he was in pretty good spirits," Boone said. "Like, it is what it is. Unfortunate. In a lot of ways obviously, devastated and bummed out. But Clarke's way is you've got to flip the script and he's getting his mind into, let's get it fixed and get on with it and start to get after the rehab portion of it. So I think mentally that's where he's at."

Zilisch Thought Shane van Gisbergen Would Race Him 'Cleaner' for Xfinity Chicago Street Race Win
Temporary Jr Motorsports teammates Shane van Gisbergen and Connor Zilisch started on opposite ends of the field in Saturday's NASCAR Xfinity The Loop 110, and they would finish within feet of each other after battling into turn one on the final restart. The Cup Series regular, van Gisbergen, would take the lead from his teammate on the restart with two laps to go. This was the first time the duo battled against each other, and Zilisch thinks that in the end, that was his downfall. Zilisch, after hitting the wall in practice and the subsequent adjustments, started at the back of the field. From last, according to the broadcast, he passed 123 cars on his way to the lead before the final restart that pitted him against van Gisbergen, who had just run back through the field after a bold strategy move didn't pay off. On the restart, Zilisch, who races full time in Xfinity, thought van Gisbergen, as a temporary and potential future teammate, would race him cleaner. "I thought he was going to race me a little bit cleaner," Zilisch told The CW Sports. Zilisch admitted that he could've held his ground more and not given up his inside on the entry to left-handed turn one. "I should have just not let him get to my bottom, I was clear there," Zilisch said. "I let him get to my inside, and he took advantage of it." The 18-year-old found himself in control of the race late as van Gisbergen took a different strategy call than the majority of the field, pitting twice and tumbling down the leaderboard as Zilisch ran through the pack. The two-lap dash was set when Andre Castro ended up in the Turn 6 tire pack, shortly before the caution Creed waived van Gisbergen who had much fresher tires for the teammate battle, also quite possibly to not record yet another second-place finish. Zilisch let van Gisbergen get to his inside because he wanted to protect his line into turn 2, expecting that his teammate wouldn't use him up the corner before. "I wouldn't consider it dirty at all. I could have just done a better job keeping leverage, but I let him get a nose ahead of me, and at that point, it's his corner and he can do what he wants to. I just didn't expect it, so I wish I could have it back," Zilisch told media members, including Road & Track. While Zilisch doesn't see van Gisbergen's move as dirty, he didn't expect it, and the young driver will change how he races against him in the future. Zilisch says that he'll be better prepared to race against van Gisbergen next week at Sonoma. "I look forward to racing him again at Sonoma," Zilisch said at the end of his CW interview. van Gisbergen became the sixth driver to win for JR Motorsports this year, with all four full-time drivers winning and Kyle Larson winning when he filled in for Zilisch at Texas Motor Speedway this spring. Sheldon Creed followed the Jr Motorsports drivers for a third-place finish.
