Yoshinobu Yamamoto's home damaged in attempted burglary with Dodgers on road
Three people attempted to break into the Los Angeles-area home of Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto at around 5 a.m., according to TMZ Sports.
While surveillance video reportedly caught the group smashing a glass door and multiple windows, they did not enter the 26-year-old's home, fleeing after private security called 911.

The Dodgers are in Cincinnati, where they began a three-game set Monday night.
Several other star athletes have been the victim of home burglaries over the last year.
Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce of the Chiefs each had their homes broken into last October, while Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow's house was hit in December.
Bobby Portis of the Bucks also had his home burglarized in November.
In February, seven Chilean nationals were charged with conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property after heisting more than $2 million in valuables.
They were caught after photos were found of some of them posing with some of the stolen items.
Yamamoto is in the second season of a 12-year, $325 million contract with the Dodgers after coming over from Japan last year; the Mets offered him a similar contract.

He earned his first All-Star nod this season and is 9-7 with a 2.63 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 133 strikeouts in 21 starts.
Yamamoto allowed one run in seven innings with nine strikeouts during a win against the Reds on Monday.

Tim McGraw thrills crowd before MLB Speedway Classic
MLB tried something new, sort of new. The Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds were supposed to play a baseball game on a field inside Bristol Motor Speedway. Problem is that the weather didn't cooperate and it rained and rained until after two hours play was suspended with the Reds leading 1-0 in the bottom of the first. The game will be picked up on Sunday afternoon. The idea riffs off something college football has done but weather isn't usually a problem for that sport. What did take place was a pregame concert featuring Tim McGraw. That went off without a hitch. No word on whether the Speedway Classic will be renamed Field of Streams.

White Sox INF Miguel Vargas sidelined by a left oblique strain
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — White Sox infielder Miguel Vargas was scratched from Saturday night's game at the Los Angeles Angels because of a left oblique strain. Vargas was replaced at first base by Lenyn Sosa. The White Sox said Vargas is being further evaluated. Vargas, 25, was acquired from the Dodgers as part of a three-team trade in July 2024. He is batting .229 with 13 homers and 44 RBIs in 106 games. Prior to the matchup with the Angels, the White Sox placed right-hander Dan Altavilla on the 15-day injured list with a right lat strain. Right-hander Owen White was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte. The team also announced that first baseman Ryan Noda was claimed off waivers by Baltimore. The 32-year-old Altavilla is 0-1 with a 2.36 ERA and two saves in 25 games with Chicago this year. ___ AP MLB:

Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds make history at Bristol Motor Speedway — but game suspended for rain
BRISTOL, Tenn. — It was a red flag for Major League Baseball on Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway. The MLB Speedway Classic between the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds was suspended in the first inning because of rain, soaking a record-breaking crowd for the first regular-season game in Tennessee. The plan is to resume the game Sunday afternoon. The first delay at the historic bullring of a racetrack came after the ceremonial first pitch featuring Hall of Famers Johnny Bench and Chipper Jones, joined by NASCAR drivers Kyle Busch and Chase Elliott. The second delay with one out in the bottom of the first led to the game being pushed back a day, much like a red flag in motorsports. Fans who stuck out the first delay of 2 hours, 17 minutes started heading toward the exits before the game was postponed with the Reds leading 1-0. It was an unwelcome detour for the long-planned event mixing baseball and NASCAR. 'We're going to suspend tonight's game. … We are optimistic for a better weather forecast for tomorrow,' Michael Hill, MLB's senior vice president of on-field operations, told Fox. The rain made life difficult on the players before the suspension. A bat flew out of TJ Friedl's hands as he led off for the Reds. A pitcher seemed to catch his footing going to cover first base. The Speedway Classic was first announced nearly a year ago as part of Commissioner Rob Manfred's push to take MLB to places where baseball isn't played every day live. MLB played a game at the 'Field of Dreams' movie site in Iowa in 2021 and 2022. Alabama and North Carolina have hosted games too. Reds pitcher Andrew Abbott showed up Saturday afternoon at Bristol wearing a cut-off version of a NASCAR race suit. Born in Lynchburg, Virginia, Abbott said he wanted something to wear in for a special game. 'I grew up around NASCAR,' Abbott said. 'Just went on eBay and found a couple options, and luckily that was the one that arrived in time. I had a couple of backups. I know who Rusty Wallace is, too, so I actually do know the backstory behind it.' Long before the fans departed in the rain, they were entertained by a 110-foot Ferris wheel, to go along with food trucks, live music, pitching tunnels and batting cages. Fans also had a chance for photos with the Commissioner's Trophy and Clydesdales outside the historic racetrack. Inside, Tim McGraw performed and was joined by Pitbull. Before the weather moved over the area, players stood in the back of pickup trucks with their numbers emblazoned on the side and rode around the half-mile racetrack. Some used their phones to document the moment. For introductions, the Braves and Reds walked between a pair of cars decked out in Atlanta and Cincinnati colors. Then the tarp came out as rain that had been falling around Bristol much of Saturday turned heavy and delayed the start. The first delay led to the Braves switching starting pitchers. Spencer Strider, who grew up in nearby Knoxville, got a bigger ovation than Reds starter Chase Burns, who is from Hendersonville and played at the University of Tennessee. The Reds stuck with Burns despite the delay. Strider warmed up. The Braves chose not to risk his third start in this situation coming off a second elbow surgery. The rain stopped long enough to take off the tarp and start the game. Michael Waltrip, who raced plenty at Bristol, restarted the festivities by quoting his brother Darrell: 'Boogity, boogity, boogity. Let's play baseball, boys!' The Braves went down in order in the top of the first. There was another rain delay after Austin Hays hit an RBI single for the Reds in the bottom half. MLB didn't try to sell every ticket inside the speedway that drew 156,990 for the Battle of Bristol college football game in 2016. The track with a racing capacity of 146,000 could host 90,000 or more even with sections blocked off. Officials announced Monday more than 85,000 tickets had been sold — topping the previous paid attendance record of 84,587 set Sept. 12, 1954, when Cleveland Stadium hosted the New York Yankees. A batter has to clear 400 feet to hit anything out of center field, 375 in the alleys and 330 down each baseline. Pulling a ball down the line raises the prospect of a ball bouncing off the racetrack beyond the outfield wall. 'Honestly, my first thought, I can't believe they did all this for one game,' Braves first baseman Matt Olson said of his first visit to Bristol. 'To be able to set all this up, get a playing surface ready, set the stands up in order to have the proper viewing, it's pretty incredible.'
