White Sox reinstate LHP Martin Perez from 60-day IL
The Chicago White Sox activated left-hander Martin Perez from the 60-day injured list on Wednesday.
Perez, 34, landed on the 15-day IL on April 19 with left elbow inflammation and moved to the 60-day IL two days later. He made one rehab start each with Triple-A Charlotte and Double-A Birmingham.
Perez was 1-1 with a 3.15 ERA and 18 strikeouts through four starts before the injury. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that he will be used in relief for the time being and came on in the sixth inning of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers for his first outing since April.
He is 91-88 with a 4.43 ERA in 318 career games (273 starts) with six teams since his 2012 debut. He played nine seasons with the Texas Rangers, making the All-Star team in 2022 and winning the World Series in 2023.
To make room on the 26- and 40-man rosters, Chicago optioned Cam Booser to Charlotte and designated fellow left-hander Jared Shuster for assignment.

Bodybuilder dies at 37
Champion bodybuilder Hayley McNeff has passed away at the age of 37, becoming the seventh bodybuilder to pass away within the past six months. McNeff, a native of Concord, Massachusetts , passed away on August 8 - but tributes didn't start pouring in until Wednesday. Her cause of death has not yet been disclosed, but her obituary says her passing was 'unexpected but peaceful'. Funeral services for McNeff have been planned for this coming Sunday. Growing up, McNeff was active in many sports - including skiing and diving - while becoming an accomplished equestrian, according to an obituary posted to . McNeff graduated from UMass Amherst and discovered bodybuilding as an adult. After her career ended, she intended to pursue a graduate degree in psychology. McNeff rose to prominence in the body building world in the 2000s - winning several titles, including the 2009 East Coast Classic. She continued competing into the 2010s and was featured in a bodybuilding documentary released in 2016 titled 'Raising The Bar'. In that film, she discussed her career, saying, 'The quest for getting huge will never end. There's no limit. I hope there's a day that I'll be able to look in the mirror 100 percent of the time and be like "yeah man, I'm huge."' McNeff's death is the latest in a disturbing string of deaths in the bodybuilding community - totaling seven deaths in the past six months. In late July, Spanish bodybuilding star Lorena Blanco died at age 37 of a suspected heart attack while she was preparing to travel to Las Vegas to compete at Ms. Olympia. A month prior, Colombian bodybuilder Zunilda Hoyos Mendez was killed in a horrific hammer attack in Spain at age 43 after telling her husband she wanted a divorce. Her husband, Jarrod Gelling, was also found dead with knife wounds that police believe was a suicide. In May, a pair of Brazilian weightlifters died within a week of each other. On May 6, 30-year-old bodybuilding champion Gui Bull died due to asphyxiation . Just days later, another 30-year-old - Wanderson da Silva Moreira - passed away while competing in the Pantanal bodybuilding championship. In April, male bodybuilder and actor Vito Pirbazari died at age 44 from a heart attack after collapsing on a treadmill. Back in March, a 20-year-old bodybuilder - Jodi Vance - died when her heart stopped due to 'severe dehydration' , according to a state

Tour Championship counts toward career earnings for first time since ‘18
August 14 - However the $40 million prize pool is doled out next week, each player to compete at next week's Tour Championship will earn "official money" in the eyes of the PGA Tour. The entire purse at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta will be considered "official money," Front Office Sports and others reported this week. It's a departure from how the tour tabulated career earnings from 2019-24. During that time, the FedEx Cup playoffs were contracted from four to three tournaments and the Tour Championship introduced the "starting strokes" staggered start that rewarded players for their standing in the season-long points race. This year, the tour is doing away with that start, so all 30 players to qualify for the Tour Championship will start at even par rather than, say, Scottie Scheffler opening at 10 under par. The leader after 72 holes of stroke play at East Lake will be crowned not only the winner of the Tour Championship but also the FedEx Cup champion. Because of that, the PGA Tour changed how it hands out bonus money for the season-long points race. The winner of the Tour Championship and FedEx Cup will receive $10 million that counts toward that player's official career earnings, rather than a bonus. The change makes the Tour Championship the most lucrative tournament of the season, as the $40 million total prize purse easily outpaces the $25 million on offer at The Players Championship. --Field Level Media

More Milton: Cowboys to give QB another start Saturday
August 14 - Cowboys backup quarterback Joe Milton III will start for the second consecutive week when Dallas plays the Baltimore Ravens in Saturday's preseason matchup. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer made the announcement on Thursday, ending speculation the Cowboys were leaning toward using fellow backup Will Grier before splitting reps next week. Milton was 17-of-29 for 143 yards in the preseason opener against the Ravens with one TD pass and one interception. Acquired from the New England Patriots and praised for his arm strength and size at 6-foot-5, 245 pounds, Milton is pushing to be the primary backup to Dak Prescott this season. Owner Jerry Jones on Wednesday did not rule out adding a veteran at quarterback or any other position as roster cuts are made over the next two weeks. Dallas is trialing available options to replace longtime No. 2 quarterback Cooper Rush, who signed with the Ravens in free agency. As the Cowboys broke training camp and packed up to leave Oxnard, Calif., for the summer on Thursday, Schottenheimer did not commit to playing Grier in this week's game. "You never know, he'll always have a cigarette in hand," Schottenheimer said. Dallas does expect rookie first-round pick Tyler Booker to play after missing last week's game. Schottenheimer said the Cowboys would need more time to determine whether rookie running back Jaydon Blue and free agent addition Miles Sanders would be able to play against the Ravens. Milton, 25, was a sixth-round draft pick by New England in 2024. The Cowboys acquired Milton and a 2025 seventh-round pick (No. 217) from the Patriots for a 2025 fifth-round pick in April. He completed 22 of 29 passes for 241 yards with a touchdown and ran for a score in the only game he played with the Patriots. --Field Level Media
