Gauff's performance was marked by 23 double faults and 74 unforced errors, and she described it as a 'frustrating match'.

Reports: Commanders WR Terry McLaurin requests trade
August 1 - Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has requested a trade, according to multiple reports on Thursday. Frustrated by the lack of progress in negotiations toward a contract extension, McLaurin sat out the first four days of training camp before reporting on Sunday. After reporting, he can no longer be fined $50,000 per day. McLaurin, who turns 30 in September, became a hold-in and was placed on the team's physically unable to perform list with an apparent ankle injury suffered last season. He did not attend organized team activities and mandatory minicamp. He did, however, participate in spring workouts. "You'd like to get these things done quicker, but it doesn't always happen that way," general manager Adam Peters said. "Whatever happens along the way, just understand he's a great player and we want to keep him here." With a base salary of $15.5 million and cap hit of $25.5 million in the final season of a three-year, $68.3 million contract, the speedster is coming off a career year with 1,096 receiving yards, 13 touchdowns and 82 receptions on 117 targets. He added three scores and 227 yards on 14 receptions in three playoff games. McLaurin and rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels helped lead Washington (12-5) to its best season since it won the Super Bowl in 1991. The Commanders knocked off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC wild-card round and Detroit Lions in the divisional round before falling to the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game. Over six seasons with Washington, the two-time Pro Bowl selection (2022, 2024) has 6,379 receiving yards, 38 touchdowns and 460 catches in 97 games. A team captain, McLaurin has hit the 1,000-yard mark for a franchise-record five straight seasons despite instability at the quarterback position before Daniels' NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year campaign. --Field Level Media

Reds acquire IF/OF Miguel Andujar from A's
August 1 - The Cincinnati Reds just beat the trade deadline on Thursday, dealing minor league right-handed pitcher Kenya Huggins to the Athletics in exchange for Miguel Andujar. In a corresponding move, the Reds also transferred left-handed pitcher Wade Miley to the 60-day injured list. Primarily a third baseman with the A's this season, Andujar, 30, has also played left field, right field and first base. Now in his ninth MLB season, Andujar is hitting a career-best .298, third among primary starters for the Athletics, to go along with six home runs and 27 RBIs. A .277 career hitter while with the New York Yankees, Pittsburgh Pirates and A's, Andujar has proven to be successful against left-handed pitching this year, hitting .422 with a 1.036 OPS. "Andujar is one of the best players in baseball at hitting left-handed pitching," Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall said, according to the Reds' website. "He fits as a middle-of-the-order bat against lefties. He's got some power." In Huggins, the Athletics landed Cincinnati's No. 22-ranked prospect. The 22-year-old pitcher was a fourth-round pick of the Reds in 2022 and has spent the past three seasons with Single-A Daytona. There, Huggins has gone 4-4 with a 3.82 ERA in 36 appearances, including 21 starts. In 18 games this season (15 starts), Huggins has gone 2-2 with a 3.69 ERA and 57 strikeouts across 63 1/3 innings. The Reds transferred Miley to the 60-day IL to free up space on their 40-man roster for Andujar. Miley landed on the injured list on June 20 with a left flexor strain in his forearm. He recently increased his long toss to 120 feet, according to but his timeline to return is still weeks away. The 38-year-old appeared in just three games for Cincinnati this season. For his career, which spans eight different teams in 15 years, Miley is 109-99 with a 4.09 ERA. --Field Level Media
