Brendan Donovan out of Cardinals lineup against Cubs with groin tightness
Donovan was initially scheduled to bat leadoff against the Chicago Cubs. The team said the move was for precautionary reasons.
Chosen as an All-Star for the first time this season as a reserve, Donovan leads the Cardinals with 115 hits while hitting .278 this season. However, he's struggled in 18 games since the All-Star break, with a .188 average and three extra-base hits. He has only five hits in his last 11 games, all singles.
Donovan was replaced at second base by Thomas Saggese, and the Cardinals shuffled their lineup to move center fielder Lars Nootbaar to the leadoff spot.

Contreras caps four-run rally as Brewers spoil Alonso's record-tying night
MILWAUKEE — William Contreras homered to cap a four-run seventh inning and the Milwaukee Brewers rallied past the skidding New York Mets 7-4 on Saturday for their eighth consecutive victory, spoiling Pete Alonso's record-tying night. Alonso opened the second inning with his 252nd career home run, matching the franchise record held by Darryl Strawberry for 37 years. But the Mets lost their sixth straight game and 10th in the last 11 to fall 4 1/2 games behind first-place Philadelphia in the NL East.

The GOAT will see the Commanders live in Week 1
The Washington Commanders are must-see TV in 2025. Yes, you read that correctly. One year after going 12-5 and reaching the NFC championship for the first time in 33 years, the Commanders will have several prime-time games this season. In addition to five prime-time games, Washington has three standalone games. What is a standalone game? A game played at a time other than 1 or 4 p.m. on Sunday or traditional prime-time games. The Commanders play the Miami Dolphins in Madrid on a Sunday morning, the Eagles on a Saturday the week before Christmas, and the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas Day. But even Washington's 1 p.m. games are drawing the interest of others. The Commanders' Week 1 game against the New York Giants has earned "Game of the Week" honors from Fox. That means, Fox's No. 1 broadcasting team, featuring the GOAT Tom Brady, will be in Landover for the NFC East showdown. Joining Brady will be play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt and sideline reporters Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi. The Giants were 3-14 last season. While they should be much better in 2025, Brady isn't in town for the New York Giants. It's all about Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels and the expectations surrounding the Commanders in 2025.
