Millions in path of 'bomb cyclone' as rain hits Australia's east
A "bomb cyclone" is set to dump more than 100mm of rain in the space of hours on Australia's east coast, along with damaging winds of up to 110km/h. Millions of residents from Coffs Harbour south to Bega are in the path of a fast-moving, severe low-pressure system intensifying off the NSW north coast. The rapidly deepening system is known as a "bomb cyclone", although the meteorological term is generally used sparingly so as not to incite panic, the Bureau of Meteorology said. It's already sparked heavy rain, strong winds and hazardous surf, and up to 120mm of rain is expected to lash Greater Sydney alone over the next six hours. NSW SES state operations manager Dallas Burnes said the emergency calls have already started to roll across the state as the system intensifies. ADVERTISEMENT "We're already starting to see the impacts — 600 incidents responded to in the last 24 hours and over a thousand of our volunteers out helping their communities already," he told Nine's Today programme on Tuesday. "We are really concerned about flash flooding, particularly around the commute home for people this afternoon, as we see those rainfall figures escalate throughout the day," Burnes warned. The peak impact of the system is forecast to happen on Wednesday, and there's a risk of flash flooding at Wallis Lake near Taree on the mid-north coast of NSW. Taree was one of the towns hard hit by floods in May that killed five people and damaged thousands of properties. Weather warnings have been issued for Taree, Newcastle, Gosford, Sydney, Wollongong and Port Macquarie The mid north coast region is an area of concern for emergency services because of the soil is still saturated from the May floods. "If they get those gusts up to 125km an hour, we are going to see trees come down," Burnes added. ADVERTISEMENT The deepening coastal low will also result in dangerous beach conditions, coastal erosion and damage to the NSW coast from Seal Bay to Batemans Bay, the bureau warned. The heaviest rain was expected on the state's central coast, with totals of up to 200mm possible, although a "subtle shift" in conditions could move those falls to Sydney or the mid-north coast. Coastal communities were urged to prepare ahead of the storm by tying down loose items and moving cars away from trees. Conditions were expected to ease by Thursday.

Devastating News Releases on Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes Before Series vs. Reds
Devastating News Releases on Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes Before Series vs. Reds originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Arizona Diamondbacks have been going through an up-and-down season that has resulted in an even 31-31 record, they are currently sitting in fourth place in the NL West. Advertisement It's been tough for the Diamondbacks, but they seem to be finding a way to win games as they are currently on a four-game win streak. Diamondbacks announce that Corbin Burnes will be out for the rest of the season Arizona will be heading into a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds over the weekend, but they will be doing it without their best pitcher for the rest of the 2025 season. It's been announced that Diamondbacks' ace Corbin Burnes will be undergoing Tommy John surgery on his throwing elbow, ending his 2025 season early. The injury became evident after exiting his June 1 start early. Advertisement After pitching 4.2 innings, giving up four hits and one earned run, Burnes grew frustrated after giving off a base-hit to Washington Nationals' shortstop CJ Abrams. "My elbow's done, it's dead," he said after his last pitch of the season. It's apparent that his arm was not feeling well, and now he needs season-ending surgery. Burnes signed with Arizona after emerging as one of the best pitchers in the league with the Milwaukee Brewers and the Baltimore Orioles. The 30-year-old pitcher has been elected to four different All-Star games, won the NL Cy Young award in 2021 with the Milwaukee Brewers, and has been named to two All-MLB First Teams in 2021 and 2024.

Advertisement Burnes was on the verge of another stellar season, posting a 3-2 record with a 2.66 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and striking out 63 batters in 64.1 innings pitched. It's a tough loss for Arizona as they are look to stay competitive in a win-heavy NL West division. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.

Snake eyes: D-backs' $425 million investment in starting pitching hasn't gone as planned
PHOENIX (AP) — The normally budget-conscious Arizona Diamondbacks have been willing to spend big money over the past several years, taking chances on the notoriously volatile market of free agent starting pitching. So far, it's a bet that has come up snake eyes. Over the past 5 1/2 years, Diamondbacks owner Ken Kendrick has committed roughly $425 million to four pitchers — Corbin Burnes, Jordan Montgomery, Eduardo Rodríguez and Madison Bumgarner. The combined return on that investment: A 30-48 record, 5.25 ERA, minus-0.4 WAR and two Tommy John surgeries. Yikes. The latest bad news came on June 1 when Burnes — who signed a $210 million, six-year deal in January — abruptly left a game against the Nationals with right elbow pain. Now he's set to undergo Tommy John surgery and might not return to the mound until 2027. It's a brutal blow for the D-backs, who have a 31-34 record heading into Monday night's game against the Mariners. The 30-year-old Burnes seemed like the safest bet on the market last winter when the D-backs made the signing. The four-time All-Star and 2021 National League Cy Young Award winner had been remarkably consistent and healthy over the previous four seasons, making at least 28 starts every year. 'I might as well do another job if we're going to be scared of bringing in a guy of this caliber on your team,' Arizona's general manager Mike Hazen said at Burnes' introductory news conference. Added Kendrick: 'We're stretching the budget. It won't be the last time.' And for two months, he was everything Hazen, Kendrick and the D-backs hoped for with a 3-2 record and 2.66 ERA. Now he's out for the foreseeable future. It's the latest in a bad run of luck for Arizona's front office. It's also a brutal reminder of the substantial risk in handing out big money to pitchers in an era when injuries are happening at an alarming rate. The D-backs aren't the only team facing the same problem, even in their own division. The Los Angeles Dodgers currently have 14 pitchers on the injured list — including starters Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, Roki Sasaki and Tony Gonsolin. Snell has made just two starts this season because of injuries after signing a $182 millon, five-year deal in the offseason. The difference is the Dodgers seem to have nearly unlimited money to keep adding talent. The D-backs do not. The string of disappointing signings started in December 2019, when the D-backs added Bumgarner with a $85 million, five-year deal. The lefty had declined from his peak in the early-to-mid 2010s, when he led the San Francisco Giants to three World Series titles, but there was reason to believe he would be a solid middle-of-the-rotation option. Instead, he regressed even more in the desert, going 15-32 with a 5.23 ERA over a little more than three seasons. The D-backs released him in 2023 after he had a 10.26 ERA through four starts, eating more than $30 million in the process. The D-backs made a surprise run to the World Series that year and invested in a pair of pitchers — Montgomery and Rodriguez — during the ensuing offseason. Montgomery signed a $25 million, one-year deal with a vesting option for 2025. Rodriguez was added on an $80 million, four-year deal. Much like the Bumgarner signing, both seemed like good deals at the time. Montgomery had just helped the Rangers beat the Diamondbacks in the World Series and was a solid lefty with a sub-4.00 ERA in each of the previous three seasons. Rodriguez was coming off one of the best seasons of his career after going 13-9 with a 3.30 ERA for the Detroit Tigers. Things haven't worked out for either pitcher. Montgomery was awful in 2024 with a 6.23 ERA and eventually demoted to the bullpen. But because he made 21 starts, his vesting option for $22.5 million kicked in for 2025. His bid for a bounce-back season ended before it even started. The lefty got hurt during spring training in March and needed Tommy John surgery for the second time in his career, ending his time in the desert. Rodriguez hurt his shoulder during spring training in 2024 and didn't make his D-backs debut until August, contributing a 5.04 ERA as the team faded down the stretch and missed the playoffs. He's battled injuries and ineffectiveness again this year with a 6.70 ERA through 10 starts. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. There's still time for the Rodriguez and Burnes deals to take a turn for the better. Even if Burnes doesn't return until 2027, he'd have four more years remaining on his deal. D-backs manager Torey Lovullo chose to remain optimistic following Burnes' injury. 'We're all with Corbin right now,' Lovullo said. 'This is a tough day to get this news. But we'll find a way to rally around him, play hard for him all year long. … It's a long road, and it takes time for him to heal and recover. And he will. He'll be great for the Arizona Diamondbacks, I'm convinced of it.' ___ AP MLB:
