Yankees prospect Spencer Jones puts on epic home run show in five innings as MLB trade deadline nears
Spencer Jones is on a heater for the ages. The top Yankees prospect clubbed three home runs in the first five innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre in Thursday's clash against the Rochester Red Wings, turning heads from across the baseball world with the MLB trade deadline nearing. Jones, the Yankees' fourth-ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline, now has 13 homers in 19 games since being promoted to Triple-A, making an increasingly compelling case to be called up to the bigs — or potentially boosting his trade value. A 6-foot-7, 240-pound lefty outfielder, Jones kicked off his day by blasting a solo shot to the opposite field in the second at-bat of the game to give Scranton/Wilkes Barre a 1-0 edge. Two innings later, Jones crushed yet another opposite-field solo homer which easily cleared the left-field wall. 3 Spencer Jones launching his third home run of the day. @MLB/X With the attention of Yankees fans everywhere already captured, Jones added his third dinger of the day – a towering two-run shot to dead center in the fifth. Then, as the cherry on top, he made a terrific sliding catch in center field to save a run in the bottom of the innings Rochester emerged with a 10-8 win, though, with Jones' finishing the day 3-for-5. He struck out and popped out in his last two at-bats, respectively. 3 Spencer Jones celebrates his homer. @MLB/X Jones, whom the Yankees selected 25th overall in the 2022 draft out of Vanderbilt, has tallied 28 homers in the minors this season with Scranton Wilkes-Barre and Double-A Somerset Patriots to go along with a .308 average and 1.079 OPS. There has been much speculation about whether Jones could be used as a trade chip for the Yankees at the trade deadline to improve their major league roster, but Jones recently reiterated his desire to stay and develop in New York. 'I was just talking to my girlfriend about this,' Jones told The Athletic on Tuesday, 'but at the end of the day, I want to play in New York and be a part of this organization and stay loyal to it.' He added that he has found the trade rumors involving his name, including some about him heading to the Diamondbacks, to be hilarious. 3 Spencer Jones posing for a photo at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post 'There was a post of me hitting a home run and one of the comments was, 'Get ready to speak desert, buddy,'' Jones said. 'That's a really good one. I saw that and was dying laughing. That is just so good. To me, that's the really fun part about baseball at this time of year. I really like the creativity that fans have. It's awesome. I don't know if I can speak desert.'

N.Y. Giants add $3M in incentives to tackle Dexter Lawrence's salary
1 of 2 | New York Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II (R) is signed through the 2027 season. File Photo by Aaron Josefczyk/UPI | License Photo July 24 (UPI) -- The New York Giants agreed to add $3 million in incentives to Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence's salary for 2025, sources told UPI on Thursday. Lawrence is to make $17 million, plus the potential incentives, this season. The Pro Bowl defender signed a four-year, $87.5 million contract with the Giants in 2023, but restructured that deal last off-season. Lawrence, 27, made the Pro Bowl each of the last three seasons. He totaled 44 combined tackles, 16 quarterback hits, a career-high nine sacks, eight tackles for a loss, a pass defensed and a forced fumble over 12 starts last season. The 6-foot-4, 340-pound defensive lineman sustained a season-ending elbow injury in the Giants' 27-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Nov. 28 in Arlington, Texas. He missed the final five games of the season. Lawrence told reporters Wednesday -- the first day of Giants training camp -- that he is "still in the process" of recovering, but is "feeling good." Lawrence, who joined the Giants as the No. 17 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, totaled 310 combined tackles, 95 quarterback hits, 36 tackles for a loss, 30 sacks, 11 passes defensed and five forced fumbles over the first 92 appearances of his career. Pro Football Focus gave Lawrence the second-best defensive rating among defensive linemen who were in for at least 50% of the most snaps played by any player at the position in 2024. He also was rated the second-best run defender. Lawrence received the top defensive rating and pass rush rating, with the third-best run defense rating, in 2023. He received the top overall rating and rated highest in run defense, pass rush and coverage among defensive linemen in 2022. The Giants had the ninth-worst defense in the NFL, in terms of yards allowed, in 2024. They ranked 27th against the run and eighth against the pass. They allowed the 12th-fewest yards, led by the No. 10 rush defense and No. 16 pass defense in 2020, Lawrence's second season. Giants rookies reported to training camp July 15 in East Rutherford, N.J. Veterans reported Tuesday to the Quest Diagnostics Training Facility.

Sutter Health names new chief operating officer
This story was originally published on Healthcare Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Healthcare Dive newsletter. Name: Kevin Manemann Previous title: Executive vice president and chief integration officer, City of Hope New title: Chief operating officer, Sutter Health Manemann, an executive with more than two decades of leadership experience in large health systems, will be Sutter Health's next chief operating officer, the Sacramento, California-based system announced Tuesday. He'll be filling a role that's sat vacant since March, when previous COO Mark Sevco left Sutter to become the CEO of Pittsburgh-based Alleghany Health Network. Manemann, who assumes his new role on Sept. 15, was formerly an executive at Southern California-based City of Hope, a $6 billion cancer care system. Prior to that, Manemann held several leadership roles at Providence St. Joseph Health, the third-largest nonprofit health system in the U.S. — including leading a $10 billion division overseeing Northern and Southern California. Manemann was at Providence for more than 16 years, according to his LinkedIn. Manemann's selection as COO is the latest in a string of executive appointments for Sutter. The system named a new chief financial officer in May, a new chief scientific officer and chief nurse officer in January, and a new senior vice president of population health in December. At Sutter, Manemann will work closely with the system's chief physician executive to co-lead clinical and nonclinical operations, according to the release. Manemann's specific purview includes Sutter's operating structure, service lines, ambulatory surgery centers, nursing and home care. One of his priorities will be to support Sutter's ambulatory growth plans, the release said. The system, already a powerhouse in Northern California with more than two dozen hospitals, has been steadily snapping up more of the region's care delivery market, adding roughly 1,000 doctors and advanced practice clinicians in 2024. Sutter also opened or expanded a number of care centers last year, while announcing other capital projects, including an advanced neurological and neurosurgical care complex and a comprehensive cancer center. The system is also pursuing growth through a joint venture with SCAN Health Plan to offer new Medicare Advantage products next year, and a deal with GE Healthcare to integrate artificial intelligence into its operations. Amid these initiatives, Sutter's finances have remained relatively stable compared to some of its nonprofit peers, according to ratings agencies. Still, the system hasn't been immune to pressures hitting hospitals, including rising costs of labor and medical supplies. Sutter reported $142 million in operating income in 2024, down from $320 million the year prior. Though, hefty investment income in both years hiked Sutter's profits to $1 billion and $1.2 billion in 2024 and 2023, respectively. Sutter is also dealing with other operational challenges facing providers, including contract spats with major insurers. Sutter also been hit with multimillion-dollar settlements this year to settle legal actions over alleged anticompetitive behavior, retirement plan mismanagement and fraudulent billing for anesthesia services.
