Tennessee Titans' JC Latham named to 2025 NFL All-Breakout Team
One area to watch will be how the overhauled offensive line develops as a cohesive unit. It is no secret that the Tennessee Titans made a significant effort to rebuild the line during the offseason and added two new starters in free agency to help protect their young franchise quarterback.

One player that should benefit from all of the changes is 2024 first-rounder JC Latham, who will be transitioning back to his natural right tackle position. The young lineman flashed in 2024, and the team has high hopes heading into year two. The Titans aren't the only ones who see the potential in Latham; Bucky Brooks of NFL.com just named Latham to his 2025 All-Breakout Team.
OT JC Latham - Tennessee Titans
The arrival of No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward as the team's franchise quarterback puts immense pressure on the Titans' offensive line to dominate in the trenches. Latham is poised to meet that standard as a mauler/brawler with heavy hands and knockout power. After moving back to his natural position (right tackle) following a rookie season spent on the blindside, thanks to the addition this offseason of Dan Moore Jr. , the 6-5, 342-pound Latham could dominate opponents as the designated bully on the Titans' frontline.
There was a buzz around Latham after OTAs and minicamp. The young offensive lineman appeared to be a different player when he arrived after reshaping his body during the offseason, motivated by the switch back to the right side, where he played throughout his college career.
Latham will also benefit from playing next to veteran Kevin Zeitler, and the two should form a tremendous tandem that should help pave the way for more success in 2025. He already looks more comfortable and confident than he did as a rookie, and that bodes well for an offense that had a revolving door at right tackle in 2024.

Twins' Byron Buxton celebrates bobblehead night by hitting for the cycle in win over Pirates
Byron Buxton had his bobblehead day on Saturday — and decided to celebrate by putting on a show. The Minnesota Twins center fielder hit for the cycle in the Twins' 12-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, putting up a dominant performance in front of an appreciative home crowd. Buxton achieve the feat in the seventh inning, after hitting a solo homer that went 447 feet into deep center. It's the first time that Buxton has hit for the cycle in his career. Buxton opened the game with a leadoff single in the top of the first inning. Then, in the second, he hit a deep triple, and scored on the next play to give Minnesota a 4-0 lead. An RBI double from Buxton in the third inning sent Ty France home and brought the Twins' lead to 7-0. Advertisement Buxton had another single in the fifth inning, but it was his seventh-inning homer that put him into the history books. In all, the center fielder ended the night with five hits in five at-bats, with two RBIs and three runs. Buxton's cycle marks the second time this season that someone has hit for the cycle this season: Chicago Cubs catcher Carson Kelly achieved the feat in March against the Athletics. It's a somewhat rare achievement in baseball, with less than 30 active players who have hit for the cycle in their careers. Buxton's huge day anchored a strong performance from the Twins, who dominated the Pirates from the start. In addition to Buxton, second baseman Kody Clemens, designated hitter Matt Wallner and left fielder Willi Castro all hit home runs; Castro's homer came immeditately after Buxton's cycle-clinching one.

From one 14 to another, White Sox great Konerko gets gift from Pope Leo XIV in honor of 2005 title
CHICAGO — White Sox great Paul Konerko got a present from one No. 14 to another in honor of the 20th anniversary of the 2005 World Series championship run — a jersey signed by noted Chicago fan Pope Leo XIV . Cardinal Blase Cupich, the archbishop of Chicago, presented Konerko a jersey with the new pontiff's signature on the back during a ceremony prior to the game against the Cleveland Guardians. It had the six-time All-Star's last name and 'Pope Leo' above the No. 14. Robert Prevost became the first pope from the U.S. in the history of the Catholic Church when he was elected on May 8. The Chicago-born missionary, who took the name Leo XIV, is a White Sox fan. Prevost attended the 2005 World Series opener against Houston in Chicago. He watched from Section 140, Row 19, Seat 2 as the White Sox beat the Astros 5-3 on the way to a four-game sweep and their first title since 1917. In May, the team unveiled a graphic installation near the seat paying tribute to Pope Leo and that moment. The pillar artwork features a waving Pope Leo XIV, along with a picture from the TV broadcast of the future pope sitting with good friend Ed Schmit and his grandson, Eddie. Members of the 2005 team are in Chicago this weekend to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the championship run. The White Sox debuted uniform patches honoring late closer Bobby Jenks, who died last week in Portugal, where he was being treated for stomach cancer. On Friday, the team unveiled a statue of former ace Mark Buehrle . ___ AP MLB:
