Dodgers 3B Max Muncy (oblique) returns to IL
August 16 - Two weeks after returning from the injured list due to a knee injury, Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy is back on the 10-day IL with a Grade 1 oblique strain. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the team believes the injury will not end the 34-year-old Muncy's season, but he missed three months with a Grade 1 oblique strain midway through the 2024 season. Muncy made the most of his eight healthy games this month as he racked up four home runs, nine RBIs and nine walks while fashioning a .348/.531/.870 slash line. That pushed his season numbers to a .258 average with 17 homers and 64 RBIs in 89 games. His .880 OPS ranks as his best showing since he forged a .249/.368/.527 slash line in 2021, which earned Muncy his second National League All-Star team nod as well as 10th place in NL Most Valuable Player voting. To fill Muncy's spot on the active roster, the Dodgers picked up utility infielder Buddy Kennedy off waivers from Toronto. Rookie Alex Freeland, who has batted .176 with no extra base hits in 12 games since making his MLB debut on July 30, is expected to be the regular third baseman. --Field Level Media

How Luton Town stopped the slump: Matt Bloomfield reveals the turning point for the Hatters, the one thing they refuse to discuss and what's new this summer as they target rapid return to Championship
After back-to-back relegations and sinking from the Premier League to League One in little over a year, you could forgive the Luton Town powerbrokers if they spent their summer sitting around feeling sorry for themselves. But two days after the drop was confirmed, boss Matt Bloomfield walked into a room with chairman Gary Sweet, assistant manager Richard Thomas and operations chief James Mooney – and told them there was no point in looking back. From here, the only way is up.

Minute's silence for Diogo Jota cut short because of boos
A minute's silence in memory of Diogo Jota ahead of the Community Shield at Wembley had to be cut short due to shouting from a small number of Crystal Palace fans. Tributes were paid before kick-off to the former Liverpool forward, 28, and his younger brother Andre Silva, who died in a car crash in Spain on 3 July. Reds fans, some of whom had booed the national anthem, paid respects with a rousing rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone as wreaths were laid on the pitch. But referee Chris Kavanagh cut the minute's silence short after just 20 seconds when it was disturbed by a minority of fans from the Palace end. The interruption was met with a strong response from the Liverpool end, while Eagles supporters also tried to silence those not observing the tribute. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said he was "disappointed" by the incident after his side lost on penalties after a 2-2 draw. "I don't know who did that but there was plenty trying to shush it down, but obviously that doesn't help it," he said. "But it is what it is. You can't control how many fans were here today? Was it 80,000 people? So, yeah, it is disappointing to hear that, but if that person or those persons can go home and be happy with themselves, then..." Liverpool head coach Arne Slot played down the interruption, saying: "I don't think this was planned, or that this was the idea of the fan that made some noise. Maybe he wasn't aware of the fact that it was the minute of silence. "He was just still happy and tried to cheer for his team. And I think then the fans of Palace were trying to calm that person or those persons down, so I don't think he had a bad intention, the guy or people that made noise. "They tried to calm him down, but that was a bit noisy as well. And then our fans reacted: 'Hey, what's happening here?' "So I don't think there's a bad intention to it, because the fans of Crystal Palace and everywhere around the world have paid huge respect to Diogo and Andre and this was, I think, unlucky or, I can't find the right words, but I don't think there was a bad intention in it."
