Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:37:51 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins reinstated designated hitter Byron Buxton from the injured list before their game on Thursday against Detroit after he missed 10 games with a bruised left rib.Buxton was hit by a pitch from Cleveland’s Tanner Bibee in the game on June 1 and landed on the injured list for the first time this season. The Twins have used the 2017 Gold Glove Award winner exclusively as a designated hitter this year after a persistent knee injury significantly limited him in 2022. The team has not committed to a timetable for returning Buxton to center field.Outfielder Trevor Larnach was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul to make room on the 26-man roster. Buxton was batting .220 with nine doubles, one triple, 10 home runs, 23 RBIs, 26 walks and 31 runs in 50 games before he was hurt.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSource

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Kenny Pickett spent his first few months in the NFL intentionally buried on the Pittsburgh Steelers depth chart, coach Mike Tomlin’s way of trying to ease the pressure on a young quarterback saddled with the outsized expectations that come with being a first-round pick at the most important position in the game.A year later, a lot has changed. Pickett is no longer running with the scout team. And a strong finish to his rookie season has Pickett entering his second year in the league seemingly in full command of a Steelers offense that believes it can keep pace with the powers that be in the AFC.The relentlessly tenacious approach that carried Pickett from modest high school recruit to ACC Player of the Year at the University of Pittsburgh to 20th overall pick in the 2022 draft has followed him to the other side of the complex the Panthers share with one of the NFL’s marquee franchises.It’s not unusual for Pickett to arrive early and throw himself ...

Como destacado clavadista de 10 metros, Diego Balleza está acostumbrado a usar pequeños trajes de baño que muestran su cuerpo. Ahora, desesperada por la falta de recursos económicos de cara a los Juegos Olímpicos de París del próximo año, el mexicano da el salto a otra plataforma en la que también lleva poca ropa: OnlyFans. Balleza es uno de varios atletas mexicanos que se han visto afectados por una disputa entre World Aquatics y Ana Guevara, la jefa de la comisión nacional de deportes de México que, desde enero, dejó de pagar mensualmente a los atletas acuáticos.

Todorov fue suspendido por el incumplimiento de las normas de buen gobierno del organismo rector por parte de la Federación Mexicana de Natación. Pero Guevara se negó a reconocer la comisión a pesar de que el Tribunal de Arbitraje Deportivo confirmó el cambio. ...
