Michigan football an early contender for elite 2027 TE
You know what they say in Ann Arbor: The best players in Michigan go to Michigan. That's why four-star 2027 tight end Anthony Cartwright is such an important target for head coach Sherrone Moore and the Michigan football team. He is one of the top TEs in his class, and he is right in the university's backyard.

Anthony Cartwright has been to Ann Arbor multiple times to visit the Michigan football team, and he was there recently. The Wolverines are showing a lot of interest, and that is standing out to Cartwright.
'It was great catching back up with everybody on the team and staff,' he said, according to an article from 247Sports. 'I have been there multiple times, so nobody feels like a stranger anymore when I'm there. I got to spend a lot of time with all of the coaches, but most of my time was spent with coach Casula. We spent a lot of time watching film and talking about how I would fit into their scheme. I also got to spend some time with coach Moore and he told me that I am a high priority for the team. It means a lot knowing that because it shows me that their interest level in me is very high and that I could play a big part in the team's success.'
If you're an elite TE, you have to like what you have seen from Michigan in the last few years. The offense that the Wolverines run is a TE's dream, and they have produced numerous NFL players at the position in recent years. Colston Loveland was a top-10 pick in April's NFL Draft, for example.
'I love the way that their offense is designed because it is designed for tight ends to be able to make any type of play at any time, especially with coach Casula being the co-offensive coordinator now,' Cartwright added. 'I know he's going to want his tight ends to eat.'

Rays' Brandon Lowe and Jonathan Aranda Named to AL All-Star Team
Rays' Brandon Lowe and Jonathan Aranda Named to AL All-Star Team originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Rays received some exciting news before their series finale against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday, just before the MLB All-Star Game next week. Advertisement Infielder Brandon Lowe and first baseman Jonathan Aranda were notified prior to the game that they had been named to the 2025 American League All-Star team. Both players are having outstanding seasons with the team, with Lowe batting .273, an on-base percentage of .325, and 19 home runs, marking Lowe's second All-Star selection. Additionally, Jonathan Aranda will be participating in his first All-Star Game this year after an impressive first half, posting a .315 batting average for the season, a .394 on-base percentage, and 10 home runs. Although Lowe had to leave the game due to an injury, he stated in his postgame interview that he expects to play in the All-Star Game without further issues. Advertisement These selections come at a time when the Rays are currently in third place in the American League East with a record of 49-41. They are tied with the New York Yankees, who also hold the same record. Over the last 10 games, the Rays have gone 4-6, which is less than ideal. Despite recent struggles, it's worth noting that without the contributions of Lowe and Aranda, the Tampa Bay would be in a very different position this season. In addition, third baseman Junior Caminero, has had an exceptional season this year, was not selected for the American League All-Star team. As the Rays' leading home run hitter with 21 this season and a breakout performer, some might argue he deserves to be on the team; however, it's important to recognize that his contributions have been crucial to the team's current standing. Overall, the season has been unexpectedly remarkable for the Rays, who compete in one of the most competitive divisions in Major League Baseball. With the Blue Jays, Yankees, and Red Sox all remaining competitive in this demanding division, the Tampa Bay have certainly exceeded expectations. The team may likely add more bats or pitchers before the upcoming trade deadline as they pursue a playoff spot after narrowly missing the postseason last year.

Rays First-Time All-Star Junior Caminero Competing in Derby
Rays First-Time All-Star Junior Caminero Competing in Derby originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Just one day after being added to the American League All-Star roster, Tampa Bay Rays slugger Junior Caminero announced Wednesday that he will participate in the 2025 Home Run Derby. He joins a star-studded field that includes Byron Buxton, Oneil Cruz, Cal Raleigh, James Wood and Ronald Acuña Jr. Advertisement Caminero was named to the AL squad on Tuesday as a replacement for Alex Bregman and will serve as a reserve infielder. It marks the 22-year-old's first career All-Star selection and possibly the first of many. A breakout star for Tampa Bay, Caminero leads the Rays with 21 home runs this season and holds a .252 batting average with a 118 OPS+, indicating he's been an above-average hitter. He joins fellow infielders Brandon Lowe and Jonathan Aranda as Rays representatives in this year's Midsummer Classic. The Rays, who sit at 49–43 and five games back in the AL East, remain in playoff contention despite a rough recent stretch. Caminero's rise is part of a broader youth movement fueling the club's resurgence in one of baseball's toughest divisions.

ST. LOUIS — Nolan Arenado was back in the St. Louis starting lineup Wednesday night, playing third base and batting fifth as the Cardinals played the second game of a three-game series against the Washington Nationals. Arenado had missed the last three games with a right shoulder impingement.
