US goalkeeper Zack Steffen injures knee and will miss CONCACAF Gold Cup
CHICAGO (AP) — Zack Steffen injured a knee and became the second goalkeeper dropped from U.S. training camp ahead of the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Steffen was hurt during training Tuesday, returned to the Colorado Rapids for more exams and will miss the tournament, the U.S. Soccer Federation said Wednesday.
Columbus goalkeeper Patrick Schulte injured an oblique on May 24.
Matt Turner, the No. 1 American goalkeeper for the past three years, remains in camp along with Chris Brady and Matt Freese, who both have never played for the national team.
The Americans have friendlies against Turkey on Saturday at East Hartford, Connecticut, and Switzerland three days later at Nashville, Tennessee, then meet Trinidad and Tobago, Saudi Arabia and Haiti in the first round of the Gold Cup.

For the USMNT, a successful summer is harder than ever to define
In a certain sense, there really is no winning the Concacaf Gold Cup. Not if you're the United States men's national team, at any rate. While the tournament's name may allude to a glory conferred by the most valuable of precious metals, the whole thing remains among the ugly ducklings of global continental championships. Advertisement If you're the US, lifting the biennial Gold Cup this summer would amount to winning it for an eighth time overall and a sixth in a quarter century. There's no novelty to it, no real sense of upward momentum on the long-sought ascent to a higher international plane. Fail to win it, however, and there will be an inquest and existential questions, even though this incarnation of the American roster is missing a half dozen-or-so key pieces, depending on how you count them. But if the optics of the Gold Cup are zero-sum, it retains an intrinsic value to the Yanks less in the thing itself than in what it simulates: a World Cup. Squint, and pretend that you're playing, say, Poland and South Korea instead of Haiti and Trinidad and Tobago, and there's something useful in going through the cadence of a competitive summer tournament. Even if the opponents are just the same old regional foes – fellow Group D denizens Saudi Arabia excepted, as they're a guest team – the slow boil and gathering momentum of an unspooling tournament offers helpful experience. Related: In an inexperienced US squad, Chris Richards' presence will be key Certainly, the hope was that the 2025 Gold Cup would be an exercise in putting the finishing touches on a supposed golden generation, positioning all the pieces just so as the team prepared for a career-defining summer next year while hosting the 2026 World Cup. Going through a tournament one last time would be a final chance to spot and address the flaws and fissures in the foundation. Winning it, if at all possible, would be a kind of byproduct of all that finessing and finetuning. Advertisement Instead, the Americans will spend the summer trying to rehabilitate their battered reputation after March's Concacaf Nations League debacle. The discourse will probably be dominated by who isn't there as much as who is. Yet there can still be some real use in this exercise. It's even feasible that the USMNT could have a good summer by showing some signs of life. 'I don't think there's any denying that some of our performances have fallen short over the past year to 18 months,' said defender Walker Zimmerman. 'It's something that us, as players, we obviously aren't satisfied with, and it's a big focal point for this camp. It's always such a great opportunity to have a month in front of the staff, get a lot of quality trainings in together, and find yourself hopefully getting into a rhythm of playing multiple games where you can put everything on the line to try to make a World Cup team in a year's time. It's a massive opportunity.' All the absences underscore just how prone a summer tournament is to the flukes of form and fitness. But head coach Mauricio Pochettino has a chance to scour his overhauled roster for a few new depth pieces and tactical alternatives in among all the fresh faces, sourced in unexpected number from Major League Soccer. The USMNT's lineup has been largely ossified going back a half decade or so now, and when given a chance, more pleasant surprises like Real Salt Lake's spitfire midfielder Diego Luna might well present themselves. Or players who can offer the American attack a different look anyway, on the semi-regular days when Plan A isn't working. Advertisement Related: Pulisic's surge to Balogun's plunge: how USMNT stars fared in Europe this season Then there are the players who have accomplished resumes at the club level but, for whatever reason, just not really shown it for the national team yet. Malik Tillman, the Bayern Munich castoff, has established himself as one of the best players in the Dutch Eredivisie in an attacking midfielder role where the U.S. could really use a spark. While contributing hugely to PSV's second straight league title, however, Tillman has been largely anonymous for the national team. This is also true of the New Jersey-born, Brazilian-raised Johnny Cardoso who, like Tillman, is 23. So impressive in his season-and-a-half with Real Betis has Cardoso been that a move to mighty Atlético Madrid is reportedly imminent. With a full national team complement in camp, Tillman and Cardoso would have gotten lost in the shuffle, either the odd men out in the midfield logjam or pushed out of their best positions. Here, now, is a chance for them to make their case, or at least pose some questions about whether the incumbents really ought to be automatic starters. The importance of identity and tactical systems probably gets overstated at the national team level, where a dearth of time means that an awful lot of teams play broadly the same way. But the coming month does offer Pochettino a chance to cultivate some of the closeness and feistiness that his best club teams displayed. There is perhaps a larger exploration to be undertaken at some point about the ways in which the improved conditions and job security of the modern American player have undercut the existential belligerence the Yanks used to play with, but, for now, any kind of low-level aggravation will do. Advertisement Some bite. A little more getting-after-it intensity, even when the stadium is half-empty and the opponent unthreatening, on paper at least. There would be as much value in unlocking any of those intangibles as there would in winning the Gold Cup, even if that's the macro expectation. 'I think I'd be lying if I didn't say, 'Lifting that trophy on the final day' would be what we would consider success. I think that's the standard we've set for ourselves,' said goalkeeper Matt Turner. 'But at the same time, things happen in soccer, and I think what we need to control is what we bring to the table every single day: the intensity, the way we push each other, the passion, the energy, the connection with the fans, with each other, with the staff. We're going to be together for a long period of time and it's a really good opportunity for us to put a lot of things together, tactically, technically, emotionally.' Taken together, these alternative accomplishments would probably make for a satisfying summer of national team soccer. They might even compensate for a failure to win the Gold Cup.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong 'lit the world on fire' as Chicago tops NL standings
Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong 'lit the world on fire' as Chicago tops NL standings Show Caption Hide Caption Watch baseball player's emotional reaction to surprise MLB promotion During a minor league baseball game in Tacoma, Washington, Cole Young was pulled aside and informed he'd been called up to play in the big leagues. WASHINGTON – This is a Chicago Cubs team like no other. There's no curse to bust, and besides, it's been nearly a decade since the star-studded 2016 edition captured the franchise's first World Series since 1908. Nor are there glaring holes ranging from laughable to mystifying, as so many Cub clubs before '16 embodied the former, and the oft penny-pinching editions since featured the latter. No, the team with the best record in the National League is, by both design and happenstance, solid and spectacular. Solid, as in it does many of the obscure yet crucial things so well, such as catching the ball, running the bases, making contact and limiting damage. As for the spectacular? That's what Pete Crow-Armstrong provides. The most valuable player in the National League, by whichever flavor of WAR you prefer, has won games – stolen them, at times – with every one of baseball's five tools, sometimes in stunning succession. The Cubs left Washington late Thursday night for Detroit, with a series win in hand and a PCA play of the day for every Cubbie diehard that came out to Nationals Park. One night, it was not his speed but rather the threat of it that froze a Washington defender and resulted in a game-changing misplay as he danced off third. The next, it was a gap-to-gap sprint and crash into the left field wall to haul in a fly ball and keep intact a perfect game by lefty starter Matthew Boyd. And Thursday, it was simply turning on a hanging curveball and drilling it 412 feet over the center field wall for a first-inning, two-run home run that sent the Cubs victoriously on their way out of town. With his ability to apply a dash of slug or a drop of speed right when the Cubs need it, Crow-Armstrong is as much an artist on the field as his parents – both successful actors – are in their work. And in the context of his ballclub, Crow-Armstrong is part of a breathtaking mosaic the Cubs, now 39-23, have commissioned. 'It's funny because you hear it all the time: 'This team plays the game the right way.' So many times, people have a hard time being able to define what that means,' Dansby Swanson, now in his third year as the Cubs' shortstop, tells USA TODAY Sports. 'I feel like we just have a lot of good baseball players. 'And when you put a lot of good baseball players on a team together that have a hunger and drive to do things for more than themselves, it leads to good team baseball. Everyone's accountable for themselves. Guys are accountable with one another. We have good relationships with each other. We hang out toger, do things together, really cherish being in this room together. 'All those things, put into one, turn out to truly lead to good results on the field.' It's a club that is by turns sexy and workmanlike. Acquiring slugger Kyle Tucker – who can become a free agent after this season – in a blockbuster deal with the Houston Astros gave the Cubs one of the top five all-around players in the game, and his slugging ability has both lengthened the lineup and relieved the burden on those hitting around him. As the season creeps toward the halfway point, Crow-Armstrong's 16 homers and 21 steals put him on track for a 40-40 season. And any feat of athleticism – from a guy whose speed ranks in the 97th percentile of the majors - can inspire Cubs faithful to send a 'P-C-A!' chant echoing through Wrigleyville. Yet almost every other facet is simply part of a well-rounded hardball diet. They rank third in the majors in stolen bases and second with an 84.4% success rate; they're also third in the NL in bases taken – or, advancing on grounders, fly balls and balls in the dirt. Crow-Armstrong and second baseman Nico Hoerner rank first and second, respectively, at their positions in Outs Above Average; left fielder Ian Happ, Swanson, Tucker and Hoerner boast seven career Gold Gloves among them. And in what can only be described as sleight of hand in this modern hitting environment, the Cubs rank fourth in the majors with a .443 slugging percentage – yet just 22nd in strikeouts, getting to significant punch without the punchouts. It's a gently suffocating style of baseball, where an extra ball in play creates an extra out, an extra base taken produces another run, and then somebody runs into one and sends it over the ivy. 'We do all the major things well,' says Justin Turner, the Cubs' 40-year-old designated hitter and veteran of nine playoff teams in Los Angeles, 'but the little intangibles are, I think, even more off the charts. It's elite defense, especially up the middle. It's one of the best baserunning teams I've been on, as far as stealing bases, taking extra bases, putting pressure on the defense. 'And I feel like the offense is one of the more dynamic ones I've been a part of – whether that's hitting homers, playing small ball, situational hitting, stealing bases. It doesn't mean it's gonna happen every night. But it's a very well-rounded club.' Yet win or lose, the Cubs can count on something spectacular happening from No. 4. 'He's gonna be the next big thing' Crow-Armstrong cuts a unique figure among the finely-tuned behemoths populating a big league clubhouse. Listed at 6 feet and 184 pounds, his frame doesn't suggest a 40-homer guy will soon emerge. Clad in a ski cap, sweatpants and a shin protector even as the pregame temperature nudges north of 80 degrees, he looks more the SoCal native headed to the skate park rather than the indoor batting cage. Yet something happens when he hits the diamond. 'Everybody kind of knew, 'Oh, it's Pete, he's gonna be the next big thing.' And now you see it coming to fruition,' says Cubs rookie left-hander Cade Horton, who frequently crossed paths with Crow-Armstrong on the youth showcase circuit in high school. 'He's just the ultimate competitor and has all the tools. 'It was a combination of the athletic ability and his fiery competitiveness. When you put those two things together, it's a recipe for something good. Just watching him compete was really, really special.' Success did not come overnight. The New York Mets drafted him 19th overall in 2020, then flipped him for Javy Baez. At 21, he made a 13-game debut in 2023, then produced just a .237 average and .286 OBP in 123 games last season. But defense will always keep you up. Crow-Armstrong produced 2.3 WAR last season despite his offensive struggles. And then, sometimes it all comes together. 'I think we unfairly put things on players at a young age nowadays, whether it's just hype, the affinity for prospects and what's next and what's new, and it heightens expectations at a young age,' says Swanson. 'The coolest thing is, usually in that third taste, that third year, you expect guys to really kind of come into their own and he's obviously done that. I'm not surprised by anything he does. 'He's a phenomenally gifted talent, he's super competitive, he's very passionate, very, in a good way, hard on himself about wanting to be great at this game. Asks the right questions. 'I say this with a smirk on my face: Everything he does I expect him to do. I always believed in his ability and I'll never let him settle for anything less than that. He's lit the world on fire.' And Pete feats can emerge when you least expect them. Tuesday night, the Cubs fell in a 3-1 hole by the fourth inning when Crow-Armstrong led off with a hustle double to right field and promptly stole third base. The next ball was chopped to third and Armstrong danced off about 20 feet, prompting third baseman Jose Tena to look him back to third. Yet Armstrong didn't budge. Tena ran toward him. Everybody's safe. A single and a sacrifice fly later, the game was tied and an inning later, firmly in hand for the Cubs. 'His speed is something everybody on the field knows about it. You have to respect it. And speed causes mistakes,' says manager Craig Counsell. For Armstrong, the exploits come with a firmer base, literally and figuratively. He credits his power surge to using the ground better, as he says, to exploit his lower half. And he entered spring convicted, secure in his job, and that's made all the difference. 'I just came in with a lot more comfort and confidence in myself, really, but I think the coolest part about that is what's been asked of me hasn't really changed,' says Crow-Armstrong. 'No one's asked me to hit the homers and do all this stuff. But the freedom I've been granted, the space to go play every day, I think that's why we're seeing that. 'My goal, and my job and what is asked of me is still just to go play a good center field.' 'How could you not want that?' And yet the Cubs have received so much more. But their current heater – they're now a majors-best 17-6 since May 10 – is so much about everybody doing their part. With All-Star lefty Shota Imanaga sidelined by a hamstring injury at least a couple more weeks, the club has relied on Horton's emergence, Jameson Taillon's veteran steadiness and the signing of Drew Pomeranz to largely serve as an opener to shore up the rotation. The bullpen has posted a 0.74 ERA over its past 19 games. And the holdovers, Happ and Hoerner, now have a powerful core to illuminate their contributions, such as Hoerner's absurd 18 strikeouts in 247 plate appearances, a 7.3% strikeout percentage that ranks in the 99th percentile. The lineup all coalesces around Tucker, who has lived up to the billing with a .917 OPS. As for 2026, not much needs to be said in the clubhouse about whether the lads want to see Tucker's name on a nine-figure contract with the Cubs. 'I think it kind of speaks for itself, right? We all know what he brings to this team,' says Swanson, who calls Tucker 'an aircraft carrier of a guy in the lineup. 'He's so good. How could you not want that?' That's a problem for, most likely, the winter. For now, the Cubs are off to Detroit and a date with the American League-best Tigers and a possible preview of, well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Bigger things could be ahead, especially for a club so skilled in taking care of the littler ones. 'The culmination of all those things has consistently led to where we're at now,' says Swanson, 'and it's been fun to be a part of.'

I Thought I Was Washing My Bath Towels Often Enough. I Was Dead Wrong
When it comes to cleaning our homes, bathrooms are at the top of the list. While we often clean the obvious parts of the bathroom, it's easy to overlook less visible dirty items -- like bath towels. Even though your bathroom towels may look clean -- after all, they're usually just drying off clean parts of your body -- they could be holding massive amounts of bacteria and germs. I'm often guilty of ignoring my bath towels. As long as they're dry and back in place, I rarely give them a second thought. But to keep myself and my housemates healthy, I'll make a point to wash them more regularly. Learn how often you should wash your bath towels to keep them in tip-top shape and the best temperature for getting the cleanest. Why do you need to clean your bath towels so often? When you dry off with towels, they get moist. This porous, damp environment is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. A common bath towel can have yeast, mold and E. coli growing on it without you ever knowing it. Gross, right? Regular washing prevents bacteria from growing. LG's WashTower functions as one combined washer and dryer unit. LG When should you reuse or wash bathroom towels? Consumer Reports says that under normal circumstances, a towel can be used three or four times before it needs to be washed. That's "times" not "days." If you have many family members using a towel (like hand towels), it needs to be washed on the third or fourth use. The condition of the person using the towel matters, too. If they're sick, toss it in the laundry after one use. If it's flu season, it's best for every family member to have their own towel -- even if they aren't exhibiting symptoms -- to prevent the potential spread of germs. How often you wash towels also depends on how they're dried after usage. If towels find themselves on the floor, the lack of air circulation will cause bacteria to grow quickly. To prolong the life of your towel, be sure to place damp towels on a towel rack. Better yet, crack open a window or turn on the fan to reduce moisture in the room.

The Infection Control department of Mid-Western Regional Hospital of Ennis, Ireland, recommends washing towels in water that is at least 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius) or more to kill bacteria. So if you have a sanitize mode on your washing machine, use it. If not, you may consider raising the temperature on your water heater while washing that load. Be sure young children are supervised around sinks, tubs and showers while you do laundry, though, to prevent burns. And, before you reach for the fabric softener, don't. Fabric softener leaves residue on towels that makes them less absorbent.
