Dodgers 3B Max Muncy (oblique) returns to IL

August 16 - Two weeks after returning from the injured list due to a knee injury, Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy is back on the 10-day IL with a Grade 1 oblique strain. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the team believes the injury will not end the 34-year-old Muncy's season, but he missed three months with a Grade 1 oblique strain midway through the 2024 season. Muncy made the most of his eight healthy games this month as he racked up four home runs, nine RBIs and nine walks while fashioning a .348/.531/.870 slash line. That pushed his season numbers to a .258 average with 17 homers and 64 RBIs in 89 games. His .880 OPS ranks as his best showing since he forged a .249/.368/.527 slash line in 2021, which earned Muncy his second National League All-Star team nod as well as 10th place in NL Most Valuable Player voting. To fill Muncy's spot on the active roster, the Dodgers picked up utility infielder Buddy Kennedy off waivers from Toronto. Rookie Alex Freeland, who has batted .176 with no extra base hits in 12 games since making his MLB debut on July 30, is expected to be the regular third baseman. --Field Level Media

Fans are convinced Travis Kelce's outfit is a nod to girlfriend Taylor Swift as he arrives for first NFL game since podcast broke the internet

Travis Kelce appeared to make a sweet nod to his girlfriend Taylor Swift with his bold outfit choice for the Chiefs-Seahawks preseason game on Friday night. Kansas City traveled to Seattle for another tune-up ahead of the 2025 season, and Kelce was front and center of the group - just days after he and his girlfriend broke the internet. Swift appeared on Kelce's podcast on Wednesday to announce her new album - The Life of a Showgirl - with its orange color scheme, as 1.3million tuned in live to take in the two-hour episode. And Kelce was seemingly repping those same colors on Friday, as he donned a striped orange and green polo for his arrival at the Seahawks' stadium. He paired the stylish look with some brown pants and white trainers, while carrying a similar-colored brown bag and wearing a white cap. Swifties - perhaps unsurprisingly - didn't take long to spot the color scheme, and quickly took to the comments section of the Chiefs' Instagram page to share their thoughts. Swift revealed the details of her new album alongside her man on his New Heights podcast 'TS12 colors', one wrote, while another added: 'The orange and green hehe' The Chiefs themselves leaned into the Swift references by calling Kelce 'our human exclamation point' in the caption, a reference to how the popstar labeled her man on the New Heights podcast. The live airing of the episode on YouTube earlier this week quite literally broke the internet, with the stream going down towards the end of the show. It took YouTube over three hours to fix the issue, before they quietly uploaded the final 20 minutes of the chat between Swift and the Kelce brothers. Kelce and Swift are perhaps the most famous couple in the world; they are pictured in NYC After the madness of the episode, and his GQ cover shoot reveal, attention for Travis now returns to the NFL and the new Chiefs season. Although the tight end is not expected to suit up for the preseason game in Seattle, he traveled with the team to support the players on Andy Reid's roster. Going into the 2025 campaign, the Chiefs will once again be one of the favorites to lift the Lombardi Trophy, as they bid to overcome Super Bowl heartbreak.

How Manchester City and Pep Guardiola got the 'fire in the belly' back: Erling Haaland's targets, the stars with most to prove, Hugo Viana's immediate impact and the truth about Gianluigi Donnarumma and Rodrygo

Pep Guardiola burst through one wing of an aristocratic villa that was in danger of becoming a little claustrophobic. A hoodie on, the guy sweltered in Sicilian heat at gone 9pm. A seemingly never-ending day still had some embers left. He looked frazzled and the season, a season that could define the final acts of Guardiola's time in England, hadn't even started yet.
