Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow is optimistic about recovery from shoulder injury
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tyler Glasnow is feeling optimistic about his recovery from a shoulder injury that has sidelined him since late April, one of five Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitchers who are on the injured list. There's no timetable yet for his return. The 31-year-old right-hander got hurt against Pittsburgh on April 27. He was recently moved to the 60-day IL. 'My shoulder is totally fine,' he said Tuesday. Glasnow downplayed the general body soreness that manager Dave Roberts mentioned on Monday. He said back tightness after a bullpen session prompted a precautionary decision to rest him for a few days. 'We're both on the same wavelength,' he said of himself and the team. His shoulder feels better, he said, and he plans to throw a bullpen session later this week. He played catch in the outfield Tuesday. 'I'll be back as soon as I can in a healthy way to help the team in the playoffs is my goal,' he said. Last season, Glasnow didn't pitch in the postseason because of right elbow tendinitis. He signed a $135.5 million, five-year deal before the 2024 season. Also Tuesday, the Dodgers signed right-hander José Ureña, who was designated for assignment last weekend by Toronto. He was 0-0 with a 3.65 ERA in six appearances for the Blue Jays. He began the season with the New York Mets, giving up five runs in three innings of his lone appearance. Ureña, 33, has spent 11 years in the majors with Miami, Detroit, Milwaukee, Colorado, the Chicago White Sox, Texas, the Mets and Blue Jays. He is 44-77 with a 4.78 ERA in 239 games. The Dodgers also optioned right-handed pitcher Will Klein to Triple-A Oklahoma City and designated catcher Chuckie Robinson for assignment. ___ AP MLB:

How to watch 2025 WWE Money in the Bank: Schedule, Peacock stream info, match card, preview, predictions
'The American Nightmare' Cody Rhodes is back and he's out for revenge against the man who cost him the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania, John Cena. Rhodes will team up with World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso to face Cena and Logan Paul in a star-studded tag team clash at WWE Money in the Bank Saturday, streaming live at 7 p.m. ET exclusively on Peacock. Two weeks ago, Cena continued his reign of terror by attempting to sabotage Jey in his title defense against Paul, before Rhodes appeared for the first time since WrestleMania to save Jey, setting up Saturday's tag team match. As part of his goal to ruin pro wrestling before he retires at the end of the year, Cena has said he would love nothing more than to leave the World Heavyweight Championship in the hands of the social media star. 🚨🚨🚨 CODY RHODES IS BACK! 🚨🚨🚨 CODY RHODES IS BACK TO STOP JOHN CENA FROM SCREWING OVER JEY USO! #SNME Seth Rollins will headline the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match and will face five Superstars still looking to win their first world championship in WWE. Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, Penta, Andrade, El Grande Americano and Rollins will hope to climb the ladder and seize the contract suspended above the ring that guarantees them a championship match at a time of their choosing. This year's Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match will feature three Superstars who were called up to the main roster within the last few weeks. Roxanne Perez, Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer will try to outmaneuver each other and former world champions Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss and Naomi for the right to call themselves Ms. Money in the Bank. And Lyra Valkyria will defend the Women's Intercontinental Championship in what is sure to be a heated rematch against Becky Lynch. Last month at Backlash, Valkyria successfully defended the title, only to be viciously attacked by Lynch post-match. The following week, Valkyria retaliated by sabotaging Lynch in her Money in the Bank qualifying match. And if the stakes weren't already high enough, if Lynch loses Saturday, she has agreed to never again challenge Valkyria for the Intercontinental title. But if Lynch prevails, Valkyria has agreed to raise Lynch's hand and acknowledge her as the victor. How to watch 2025 WWE Money in the Bank on Peacock Date: Saturday, June 7 Time: 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT Streaming: Peacock Location: Intuit Dome (Inglewood, CA) 2025 WWE Money in the Bank match card* Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso vs. John Cena & Logan Paul Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Solo Sikoa vs. LA Knight vs. Seth Rollins vs. Penta vs. Andrade vs. El Grande Americano Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Alexa Bliss vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Roxanne Perez vs. Giulia vs. Naomi vs. Stephanie Vaquer Lyra Valkyria (c) vs. Becky Lynch - Women's Intercontinental Championship *Card subject to change 2025 WWE Money in the Bank predictions Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso vs. John Cena & Logan Paul With the Undisputed title not on the line Saturday, it could be an opportunity for Rhodes to get some payback for his loss at WrestleMania, while keeping the belt on Cena. But ultimately, it doesn't seem productive to slow Cena's heel run in any way with so many potential dream matches that could take place before he retires at the end of the year, such as against CM Punk. PREDICTION: John Cena and Logan Paul defeat Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match Seth Rollins' new villainous faction has grown even stronger with the addition of Bronson Reed, and eventually Rollins is going to need some gold around his waist to properly stand tall as the leader of the group, à la Triple H in Evolution. A Rollins victory would also give Paul Heyman something to hold on his way to the ring again. PREDICTION: Seth Rollins wins the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match It feels too early for any of the recent main roster call-ups to wield the Money in the Bank briefcase and Rhea Ripley doesn't need it. And surely there's no way they would let Naomi utter the 'it wouldn't be good for you and your mama to be in a wheelchair' line to Bianca Belair on SmackDown last week without a big payoff, right? PREDICTION: Naomi wins the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Lyra Valkyria (c) vs. Becky Lynch - Women's Intercontinental Championship I'm so conflicted by this one, so I'm going to go out on a limb here. In order to avoid having the promising young Valkyria raise Lynch's hand in defeat, while also booking 'The Man' strong for her eventual feud with Bayley, Valkyria wins Saturday by disqualification after a merciless attack by Lynch. And perhaps Bayley returns to save Valkyria. Remember, Lynch admitted to injuring Bayley backstage before WrestleMania in order to take her place as Valkyria's tag team partner and the feud between the two legendary Four Horsewomen does not need a belt. PREDICTION: Lyra Valkyria defeats Becky Lynch by disqualification to retain the Women's Intercontinental Championship.

Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders reject CEO David Zaslav's pay package
Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders voted on Tuesday to reject the pay packages for several of the company's executives, including CEO David Zaslav's compensation package of more than $50 million. Nearly 60% of the symbolic vote was against the 2024 executive payouts at Warner Bros. Discovery's annual meeting, according to a regulatory filing. The vote is non-binding. Last year, shareholders narrowly approved executive pay, with 53% voting in favor. Warner Bros. Discovery is the parent company of CNN. Zaslav, who has been CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery since 2022, when the company was created by the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery, Inc., was paid a total of $51.9 million last year, including equity awards and other compensation. Warner Bros. Discovery's stock (WBD) declined 7% in 2024, while media competitor Netflix (NFLX) saw its stock gain more than 80% in 2024 and Disney's stock (DIS) rose 24%. Netflix's co-CEOs, Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters, were paid $61.9 million and $60.3 million last year, respectively, while Disney's Bob Iger was paid $41.1 million. The broader S&P 500 gained over 23% last year. Warner Bros. Discovery did not respond to a request for comment.
