Nats put OF Jacob Young on IL, call up OF prospect Daylen Lile
May 23 - Two days after placing Dylan Crews on the 10-day injured list, the Washington Nationals lost another outfielder on Friday with Jacob Young landing on the 10-day IL with a left shoulder AC sprain.
The move is retroactive to Tuesday.
Outfielder Daylen Lile, ranked as Washington's No. 9 prospect per MLB Pipeline, will take Young's spot on the active roster. The Nationals selected him in the second round of the 2021 First-Year Player Draft.
The 22-year-old Lile, who has yet to make his major league debut, entered Friday ranked first in the organization in batting average (.337), OPS (.892), hits (55) and runs (30) in 39 games this season between Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Rochester. He also has three home runs and 23 RBIs in 2025.
In parts of four seasons in the minors, Lile is a .273 hitter with 18 home runs, 59 stolen bases, 180 runs and 144 RBIs over 294 games.
Young, 25, is hitting .227 with six RBIs in 41 games this season. Over parts of three seasons with the Nationals, the 2021 seventh-round pick is a .251 hitter with three home runs, 51 stolen bases, 99 runs and 54 RBIs in 224 games.

Ronaldo says he does not plan to play at Club World Cup
June 7 (Reuters) - Al-Nassr and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo said on Saturday he did not plan to play at the Club World Cup in the United States, despite being courted by clubs participating in the expanded 32-team tournament. Speculation over the 40-year-old's future intensified last month when FIFA President Gianni Infantino said discussions were underway about Ronaldo playing in the Club World Cup, despite Al-Nassr failing to qualify. Al-Nassr's sporting director Fernando Hierro said last month they were negotiating with Ronaldo over a contract extension but faced competition from a host of clubs eager to sign the five-times Ballon d'Or winner. Ronaldo himself added to the uncertainty after Al-Nassr's season-ending match at Al-Fateh, posting on social media: "This chapter is over. The story? Still being written." Asked about the possibility of signing for another club in the coming days in order to play at the Club World Cup later this month, Ronaldo told reporters: "It's irrelevant, at the moment it doesn't make sense to talk about things other than the national team. "There has been plenty of contact (from clubs), I see things that make sense, others that don't. You can't go to all of them (clubs), you have to think short, medium and long term. "It's something that's practically decided on my part, which is not to go to the Club World Cup, but I've had plenty of invitations." On Wednesday, Ronaldo scored the winner as Portugal beat Germany 2-1 to go into the Nations League final, where they will face Spain. Many have labelled Sunday's final as a face-off between Ronaldo and 17-year-old Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal but the Portuguese forward said he did not see it as such. "It's always been like that, whenever I've played football, whenever I've played a big game it's always been Cristiano against this one, against that one," he said. "It's been 20-something years and it's still the same, it doesn't keep me up at night anymore, it's a normal thing. They're completely different generations, a generation that's starting out, another that's finishing, which is my case. "In reality it's not like that, it's a team against a team. It will always be like that... What I want most is for Portugal to be at a good level, confident that things can go well, that we can play a great game and win against a very good team, possibly the best in the world."

‘Almost decided' – Cristiano Ronaldo reveals why he WON'T play at Club World Cup after ‘many invitations and proposals'
CRISTIANO RONALDO appears to have ruled out playing in the upcoming Club World Cup. The 40-year-old's future with Al-Nassr remains uncertain ahead of the tournament in the US later this month. 3 3 Ronaldo had been linked with a move away from the Saudi side, with his contract due to expire on June 30. The club remain confident they can convince Ronaldo to stay and pen a new deal. Al-Nassr are not participating in Fifa's revamped 32-strong Club World Cup. Ronaldo had been linked with a fast-moving transfer, which would require the club to release him early from his contract so he could play in the competition. A similar deal has been struck between Arsenal and Jorginho, who have released the midfielder early so he can join Flamengo. But Ronaldo has indicated a move in time for the tournament starting on June 15 is unlikely. Ronaldo said, via Fabrizio Romano: "It's almost decided that I will NOT take part at the FIFA Club World Cup despite receiving many invitations and proposals. "There have been talks, contacts - but you have to think about short, medium and long term." Ronaldo also opened up on the prospect of retirement. Now 40, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner appears to believe he has plenty of time left. He continued: "My mentality is to live day by day. Cristiano Ronaldo's bodyguard Hichman Bukhari talks about the risks of protecting the football superstar "I don't have many more years to play - but I'm enjoying the moment. "There's no day decided for my retirement. "I feel happy, I'm here to enjoy and keep going until the day I like this." Ronaldo has topped the scoring charts in the Saudi Pro League for the past two seasons. But he has failed to win silverware with Al-Nassr since joining from Manchester United in 2023. 3 And Sporting director Fernando Hierro believes he can change Ronaldo's mind about leaving and get him to pen a new deal. Hierro told a press conference late last month: "I have to be positive. I don't think Ronaldo will leave Al-Nassr. "In any case, we are working hard on all aspects. "Ronaldo's contract with Al-Nassr runs until the end of June 30. "We will work to renew his contract so he can continue with us, and there are many clubs interested in signing him. "He is a huge phenomenon in the history of football and has helped the league grow.

UFC 316: What can Sean O'Malley do different in the rematch?
Sean O'Malley will attempt to win back the bantamweight title when he faces Merab Dvalishvili in the main event at UFC 316. In the first fight between the pair at UFC 306 , Dvalishvili won in a dominant performance to capture the belt from O'Malley, who could not live with the wrestling of the Georgian fighter. Advertisement Since then, Dvalishvili defended the belt against the highly rated Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC 311, becoming the first fighter to defeat the Dagestan title challenger. Unbeaten in his last 12 fights, nobody has been able to live with the pace Dvalishvili puts on his opponents with his stamina arguably the best in the sport. [caption id="attachment_1770841" align="alignnone" width="819"] Photo: Sofacore.[/caption] With wins over Jose Aldo, Henry Cejudo, O'Malley and Nurmagomedov, he is up there with some of the greatest the sport has seen at 135 pounds. Advertisement There may not be a clear path to victory for O'Malley, but if he is to cause the upset, it will be early and via knockout. It's a big if, but if he can keep the early rounds standing and frustrate Dvalishvili in the grappling, he may find the opportunity to put Dvalishvili in trouble. One of the biggest superstars in the sport, his online presence has been notably quieter, a sign of a more focused O'Malley, who is aware of the challenges that await him. In the co-main event at UFC 316, Julianna Pena begins her second reign as champions when she faces Kayla Harrison. Advertisement Pena defeated Raquel Pennington at UFC 307, in what was her first fight since losing the belt at UFC 277 to Amanda Nunes. Pena shocked the sporting world when she defeated Nunes at UFC 269 to win the belt, so she knows she can rise to the biggest of occasions. Photo: Sofascore. However, going into the fight, many see Harrison as the favourite. An Olympic champion at wrestling, Harrison dominated in the PFL, and already has wins in the UFC over Holly Holm and Ketlen Vieira, she has shown she can perform at UFC level. In what was one of the biggest UFC signings in years, having Harrison as a UFC champion would be huge for the sport. Advertisement Elsewhere on the main card, Patchy Mix makes his introduction to the UFC when he takes on Mario Bautista in the bantamweight division. A champion in Bellator, Miz already has wins over the likes of Sergio Petitis and Magomed Magomedov, he has already got some huge wins in his career. Photo: Sofascore. With 13 of his wins coming via submission, he is always a danger on the ground and will capitalise on any mistake. However, he will face another fighter who enjoys a scramble on the ground in Bautista, whose last win was against Jose Aldo at UFC 307. With both fighters so could on the ground, there could be a temptation to keep this standing, in what should be a fascinating encounter.
