Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton Nears Return with Rehab Assignment
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton Nears Return with Rehab Assignment originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The light is finally at the end of the tunnel for Yankees' slugger Giancarlo Stanton as news broke on Tuesday that the five-time All-Star is set to begin his rehab assignment with the Double-A Somerset Patriots. Advertisement Stanton, 35, has thus far missed the entirety of the Yankees' 2025 season while dealing with epicondylitis in both of his elbows, a condition that has made swinging a bat nearly impossible without enduring an inordinate amount of pain. New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images It is believed that Stanton was initially injured last season, but the condition did not fully manifest itself until the offseason, when he attempted to prepare for the 2025 campaign. While the Bombers have done well without Stanton in the lineup, leading MLB in home runs (105) and the American League in runs scored (349), there's no doubt that he'll be a welcome addition to a lineup that has not been as imposing as the organization had hoped. Advertisement New York has not yet managed to overcome a three-plus run deficit in any game this season, falling to 0-15 after their 11-7 loss to the Red Sox on Sunday night. That makes the Yankees one of only three teams in MLB to be winless in such situations this year, joining the Rangers (0-18) and Brewers (0-20) in the hapless department. (Stats courtesy of Katie Sharp on Twitter/X). Giancarlo Stanton's looming return should help the Yanks in that regard, as his presence alone will lengthen New York's lineup and provide better protection for those around him. While he may no longer be an MVP-caliber player like he was in 2017 with the Marlins, Stanton has still proven himself to be an asset when called upon in important situations, like the playoffs. In six trips to the postseason with New York, Stanton has a .265 BA, a .994 OPS and was named the 2024 ALCS MVP. Depending on how many rehab games he needs and assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks, an end-of-June return to The Majors could be in the cards for Stanton.

Patriots star Stefon Diggs dodges 'personal' questions related to viral boat video
Stefon Diggs, who landed a three-year contract with the New England Patriots this offseason, showed little interest in providing any more details pertaining to the social media video showing him on a yacht. Videos recently surfaced on social media showing Diggs passing what appeared to be a bag of pink crystals to women on a boat. When reporters brought up the video in question at Patriots mandatory minicamp, Diggs said he wanted to avoid delving into his personal life in a public setting. "I want to be as candid with you as possible, but I kind of have a thing where I don't talk about my personal life with people I don't know personally," Diggs said Tuesday as he publicly broke his silence on the viral moment. "I had a conversation with [head coach Mike] Vrabel, obviously, and I'm going to echo everything that he said. He told me he's hoping everybody is making good decisions." The four-time Pro Bowler then said the matter was addressed internally. "And I had a conversation with people in the building as well. So everything else is everything else. The particulars are all internal." Diggs also decided against shedding any light on the contents of what was in the bag he flashed when he was surrounded by three women on a boat. He again cited the internal nature of the matter. "Obviously, it's a conversation that's happening internal, which I can't have too much of a conversation with [you] about it," he said. "I've been in this league 10 years. You can format your question many different ways. I'm going to obviously answer it the same way." It remains unclear whether Diggs was aware he was being recorded when he was on the boat. As it relates to football, Diggs did an offseason workout with his new team last week. He admitted he "hasn't been around much" for the bulk of New England's voluntary offseason program. The 31-year-old continues to work his way back from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 8 last season. Nevertheless, the star receiver said he's been "grinding" and "eager" to be fully medically cleared as he gears up for the regular season. "We'll see how it goes," Diggs responded when asked if he believed he would be able to take the field when the Patriots open the season against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sept. 7. "Obviously, I'm grinding each and every day. I'm eager to get out there, so whenever they do push the button, I'm going to be ready. ... Where I am right now, I wouldn't really put a percentage on it, but I got some work to do." Vrabel, in his first season leading the Patriots, seemed pleased by Diggs' rehab so far and his level of engagement. "He's trying to figure out where everything is and what his role is and making sure that as we add those situations – the third down, the no-huddle and red zone – that he's staying up on it, working hard in his rehab," he said. "Certain drills he can be out there, and there's certain drills that he won't be, but I think he's engaged, and I like his energy." Diggs recorded at least 1,000 receiving yards in six consecutive seasons with the Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills. He appeared in eight games during his lone season with the Houston Texans and finished the 2024 campaign with 496 yards in eight games.

Watch Messi for cheap at Club World Cup? FIFA offering discounted tickets to some students
FIFA's latest attempts to fill Hard Rock Stadium for the Club World Cup opening match between Inter Miami and Egyptian team Al-Ahly involve offering students at an affiliated local college a single ticket for $20 — but with the promise of up to four complimentary tickets. The Athletic last week revealed the launch game, which takes place on Saturday night, still had tens of thousands of tickets unsold for a match likely to star Lionel Messi for MLS side Inter Miami. Hard Rock Stadium has a capacity of 65,326. FIFA denied that fewer than 20,000 tickets had been sold for the match — insisting the number was 'much higher' — but they did not specify the number. Advertisement Now, however, email promotions have been sent out to those connected to Miami Dade College, which announced a collaboration with FIFA in April 2024. This involves students being given the chance to intern at FIFA's Miami office, while FIFA's museum loans exhibits to the college. Miami Dade College has more than 100,000 students currently enrolled, according to the announcement made by FIFA of the partnership one year ago. An email promotion sent out says that FIFA, in collaboration with Miami Dade College, is 'providing up to four complimentary tickets to the opening match of the FIFA Club World Cup with the purchase of one ticket at the reduced student price of $20.' Those who respond are asked to submit their Miami Dade College email when using their purchase. If they secure the five tickets, then they are essentially able to watch Messi for just $4 a seat, which is a bargain for the local community but a long way away from FIFA's original expectations when pitching this tournament as the most coveted trophy in world club football. As reported previously by The Athletic, FIFA has sold general sale tickets for the revamped 32-team Club World Cup under a dynamic pricing model, a system whereby prices fluctuate based on demand, and the slumping prices for certain games are indicative of FIFA's struggles to sell out stadiums. As of last Tuesday, Inter Miami's game against Al-Ahly had dropped to $55, according to prices on Ticketmaster, the portal FIFA is using to sell tickets for the tournament. This was half of what they were available for in May, while tickets were $230 for the cheapest seat in January and $349 after the draw in December. FIFA is now hoping that the reduced prices will draw people in during a publicity blitz in the final week before the tournament. Despite the $20 offer for the affiliated college, the cheapest seat available on Ticketmaster tonight was $69.15 for an 'obstructed view.' It is not known how many tickets have now been sold for the game, but it is clear that FIFA is now taking every possible step to avoid any perception on Saturday night that the tournament is not in demand. Advertisement FIFA sources, speaking anonymously as they were not authorized to talk publicly on the matter, said that the organization has a strong relationship with the college and see it as a positive to extend the offer to their students to see world-class soccer on their doorstep.
