Dayton Dragons join Montgomery County for recycling education
The annual Recycling Bin Initiative (RBI) was announced Tuesday as a partnership between Montgomery County Environmental Services and the Dragons. The free program will teach local families about the environmental and economic impact of household recycling.
Participants will track their recycling for two weeks, but are encouraged to keep tracking it after that period.
This year, the focus is on recycling correctly and teaching people what can and can't be recycled.

'Not everything can be recycled, and some items that can't be recycled may come as a surprise to many participants,' said Montgomery County Commissioner Judy Dodge. 'It's important that our citizens learn good recycling habits because having better materials makes the whole recycling system more financially sustainable.'
The program has saved hundreds of thousands of pieces of recyclable material from ending up in the landfill over the last 13 years. All participants can receive up to four Dragons lawn tickets to RBI Night, exclusive RBI gifts and other Dragon prizes/experiences.

Yankees' Aaron Judge gets bad injury update on right elbow problem
Yankees' Aaron Judge gets bad injury update on right elbow problem originally appeared on The Sporting News The good news for the New York Yankees is the simple part that everyone already knows: Aaron Judge is in the batting lineup. But the bad news, a fresh injury update provided by manager Aaron Boone on Tuesday, isn't great. Boone, speaking on WFAN, said he doesn't see Judge returning to the outfield during this week's series against the Rays. Further, he's not sure Judge will throw the same the rest of the year. 'We're trying to get through where he can let it go with ease and be able to protect himself,' Boone said. 'I don't think we're going to see him back to throwing like he normally does at any point this year, but that's OK, too. We've got to feel like he can go out there and be able to protect himself and represent himself.' MORE: Juan Soto, Josh Naylor and Cal Raleigh are making stolen bases cool again Judge went on the injured list late last month with a flexor strain in his right (throwing) elbow. It probably could've been worse, but it's still a risky injury, because it puts the elbow in danger of further damage if a player is rushed back into the field. It doesn't get impacted in the same way by a swing, which is why Judge can keep batting. But that's why he has only been the DH since he came back. Judge has played 11 games since returning on Aug. 5. He's batting .229 in that span with a double, two home runs and six RBI. MORE: Phillies' pitcher Matt Strahm has the funniest reason for investing in Pokemon cards With Judge at DH, the Yankees have given Giancarlo Stanton a few games in right field. That's not an ideal setup, either, given Stanton's limited mobility and the fact that he himself missed time early in the season with elbow problems. But at this point, the Yankees are forced to make it work with what they have. And that means Judge might be in a precarious spot the rest of the season until his elbow can fully heal.

Turner, Harper power Phillies to 12-7 rout of Mariners
PHILADELPHIA -- Trea Turner had four hits, including his first home run at home this season, Bryce Harper homered twice and the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Seattle Mariners 12-7 on Monday night. Turner hit a three-run homer off Seattle starter Logan Gilbert (3-5) as part of a six-run second inning. Turner also had two singles and a double for his fifth straight multihit game. He finished with five RBIs. Harper hit homers in back-to-back innings. His solo shot in the sixth marked the 11th time he's had 20 home runs in a season. An inning later, his two-run homer off the second deck made it his 30th multihomer game. J.T. Realmuto had three hits, including a home run, and the Phillies also got RBI hits from Kyle Schwarber, Max Kepler and Bryson Stott. All told, the Phillies got 21 hits. Ranger Suárez (9-6) matched a career high with 10 strikeouts to earn the win. He pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits. Mitch Garver and Cole Young provided most of the offense for Seattle. They each homered while Garver added an RBI single. Young finished with four RBIs. Gilbert lasted just two innings and gave up six runs and nine hits. The Mariners have lost three straight and five of six. One home run away from tying the major league record for home runs in a season by a catcher, Seattle's Cal Raleigh went 0-for-5, striking out three times. After the Mariners had a four-run seventh to get within three, the Phillies answered with four runs, capped by Harper's second home run. Turner's homer was the 1,500th hit of his career. Mariners RHP Bryce Miller (2-5, 5.73 ERA) starts Tuesday against Phillies LHP Cristopher Sanchez (11-4, 2.45).

Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton tight-lipped on latest health issue that followed return to outfield
ST. LOUIS — Standing at his locker Sunday morning, Giancarlo Stanton noticed Yankees beat writers lurking nearby when his 10-minute chit-chat with YES Network play-by-play man Ryan Ruocco was breaking up. Stanton cracked a crooked smile, then waved the small group over knowing the topic would not be enjoyable. And then Stanton answered questions for a couple minutes without providing any real details on the lower-body soreness that's had him out of the Yankees' lineup all weekend on the heels of three consecutive starts in right field. What's going on? Stanton paused for a moment and then responded, 'Ah, I was available (Saturday), I'm available today and (this week in) Tampa we'll see where we're at.' Stanton was just as vague when he was asked if there's a specific body part that's bothering him. 'I'm available to pinch-hit,' he replied. 'I'm not really going to get into that.' Manager Aaron Boone stated this issue is unrelated to Stanton's chronic pain in both of his elbows, a problem that he played through for most of last season and delayed his 2025 season debut until June 16. On Saturday, Boone said that Stanton's lower body wasn't recovering from his recent return to the outfield, which consisted of four starts and five games in right over a span of five days beginning two Saturday's ago. 'Yeah, that's accurate,' Stanton said. Boone also said that Stanton's current issue mostly was due to the outfield play resulting in muscle soreness that sometimes occurs when players are ramping up in spring training. 'Yeah,' Stanton said. After Stanton gave a string of very short answers in a friendly tone, he was sarcastically asked if he loves talking about his injuries. 'It's probably my favorite thing on the planet,' Stanton answered with a chuckle before realizing there's another topic that he also doesn't like addressing in interviews.'Or if I can play the outfield. But now this conversation is both of them!' Boone is undecided if Stanton will be an option in right field this week in Tampa. 'I don't know,' the manager said. 'Maybe.' Another probable option is Stanton returning to the role that he was in for all of last season and this year when Aaron Judge was available for right field starts: Designated hitter and pinch-hit at-bats only. The Yankees are in a fight to make the playoffs holding the last AL wild-card spot with 38 games to go after Sunday's game and Stanton has been one of their best hitters since coming off the injured list. In 43 games, Stanton went into Sunday batting .299 with 12 homers, 34 RBI and a .949 OPS. Stanton was told that he must hate sitting out recent important games and responded, 'Yes, I do!' Starts for Stanton as the Yankees' designated hitter will be an option once team trainers clear a return to right field for Judge, who is still rehabbing his right elbow flexor strain. Judge, who has been the Yankees' DH for 11 games in a row after a 10-day IL stint, appears to be getting close to returning to the outfield. His long-toss throwing expanded to 150 feet this weekend, but he might have to progress to throwing to bases before returning to right. As of Sunday morning, Boone wasn't sure if Judge would be back in right for the Yankees' upcoming games in Tampa on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. 'I'm going to leave that to the trainers and Judge,' Boone said. 'Basically, I'm waiting on the trainers to say, 'All right, we're ready to go.' I'll listen to that. 'I think (his throwing) continues to improve each time, but I'm waiting for that time when we can put him out there.' This weekend, the Yankees didn't want to risk Stanton's lower-body soreness turning into something more severe by sticking him back in right field. 'I just don't want to put anyone in harm's way, especially going into an off day (Monday) and there's a big outfield here (in St. Louis),' Boone said. 'And he's in a good spot to be a real weapon (off the bench) if we need something.' The Yankees are listed at +1100 to win the World Series over on BetMGM. Our complete BetMGM Sportsbook review provides an in-depth guide on how to register and use their app. Although frustrated, Stanton is staying patient to give him the best opportunity to make regular starts at DH in the final month-and-a-half of the regular season and playoffs, if the Yankees get there. 'I think he's very in tune and very aware of his body and very mentally disciplined,' Boone said. 'You see the way he approaches his at-bats and the playoff player that he's become and he is mentally, incredibly disciplined to all of it. And that means being honest with his body, too, and saying where he is and what he's capable of doing. 'I just think he's mentally so disciplined in every facet when it comes to this.' Often injured every season since 2019, Stanton's second season with the Yankees, he's been criticized by fans for missing so many games. There's been more Stanton bashing on social media this weekend. Boone thinks Stanton is unfazed by what people are saying about him. 'He's so mentally tough and disciplined that he deals in the reality and it doesn't matter,' Boone said. 'He doesn't allow himself to be frustrated. It's just 'This is what it is, I've got to go, and when I do there's no excuses.' So I don't even think he allows different emotions to creep in.'
