In NFL first, Rams to hold minicamp in Maui
May 7 - The Los Angeles Rams, in partnership with the Hawaii Tourism Authority, announced Wednesday that they will hold their June minicamp in Maui, a first for any NFL team.
The Rams' "Mauicamp," as it's being billed, will be held June 16-19 at War Memorial Stadium in Wailuku.
The Rams made the announcement at their practice facility alongside Hawaii Gov. Josh Green.
"We are thrilled to return to Hawaii and for the first time in the NFL bring Minicamp to Maui," Rams president Kevin Demoff said. "Los Angeles and Hawaii share a special relationship and we are grateful to HTA for teaming with us for this historic partnership."
The Rams played a preseason game in Maui in August 2019 against the Dallas Cowboys, the first time that had happened since 1976.
The Rams will hold on-field sessions on June 17 and 18, with the 17th being invite-only through HTA. The 18th will be free and open to the public, though a ticket is required. Maui County residents have access to an exclusive presale beginning Friday.
"Rams players will feel the warm aloha and hospitality of our islands once again, and in turn, the team will uplift members of the community that have endured so much since the 2023 Maui wildfires," Green said.
Also part of Mauicamp, the Rams will hold a series of events as well, including a girls flag football and boys football clinic for 400 local student-athletes and a PLAY 60 Field Day for local children.

Meghan shares video of family trip to Disneyland for Lili's fourth birthday
The Duchess of Sussex has shared another intimate video of the family celebrating Princess Lilibet's fourth birthday at Disneyland. The post on Instagram showed the family enjoying rides at the California attraction, drawing comparisons with Harry's childhood trip to Florida's Walt Disney World with Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1993. The montage also features a clip of Archie, six, and Lili meeting Disney princess Elsa, from the film Frozen. Meghan wears a Minnie Mouse hat in some of the snaps featured in the video, while another image shows a two-tier Little Mermaid-themed birthday cake for Lili. The duchess captioned the video: 'Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!' The footage was reminiscent of photos taken of the duke when he was eight and his mother Diana took him and William to Walt Disney World. At the time, the royal siblings were photographed sitting at the front of a log on the Splash Mountain ride, with adults from their mother's entourage behind them and Diana seated at the back. Meghan's post follows a number of family shots over recent days to mark Lili's birthday. In one, she posted a throwback video of herself twerking in a bid to bring on labour while pregnant with the princess, while another post featured a black and white snap of herself cuddling Lili. In another post, she described how Lili's relationship with Harry was 'the sweetest bond to watch unfold'. She shared two photos of the princess with her father the duke, adding: 'Daddy's little girl and favorite adventurer. Happy birthday Lili!' Lili – the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's youngest child – was born on June 4 2021 and was named Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. Lilibet is named after her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Dodgers seek bounce-back outing vs. Cards
June 7 - The Los Angeles Dodgers hope to see the typical Yoshinobu Yamamoto re-emerge on Saturday when they continue their road series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Yamamoto (6-4, 2.39 ERA) took a 7-3 loss to the New York Yankees on Sunday, snapping his string of 11 starts of five or more innings. He allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks in 3 2/3 innings. He will look to rebound in the middle game of a three-game set. The Cardinals won the opener 5-0 on Friday. Dodgers catcher Will Smith said of Yamamoto's rough outing against the Yankees, "Just a little bit off. Execution wasn't Yoshi-like. Not getting strike one, not putting guys away with two strikes. It happens. And I expect him to come into his next start dialed in like normal." Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts got Yamamoto out of that game so he could hit the reset button. "Wasn't sharp with any of his pitches. Really uncharacteristic," Roberts said postgame. "Right around that 90-pitch mark through four innings. There's just not much benefit to continuing to push him right there. He certainly didn't feel good today. You've just got to wash this one." In his only career start against the Cardinals, Yamamoto tossed five scoreless innings on two hits in March 2024. He struck out five batters and walked none. Yamamoto will confront a St. Louis lineup anchored by first baseman Willson Contreras, who socked a homer Friday night to extend his hitting streak to seven games. He is 9-for-26 (.346) during that stretch with four doubles and eight RBIs. "His desire to win and the intensity he brings, it's a good example to set for the young guys because they see how hard he works, how much he cares and how intense every at-bat is, whether we're up by 10 or down by 10," Cardinals pitcher Miles Mikolas said. "He's never giving anything away." The Cardinals moved Contreras from catcher to first base in 2025 to keep him healthy and in the everyday lineup. "The goal for this year was to stay healthy and play every day at first base," said Contreras, who played in 59 of the team's first 63 games. "But at first base, my body also hurts and is sore because it's not an easy position. "It takes a lot to be at first base every day. I'm here to play every day and help this team any way I can." The Cardinals will counter Yamamoto with Erick Fedde (3-5, 3.82 ERA), who held the Texas Rangers to two runs on four hits and three walks in six innings on Sunday. He fanned five. Fedde will catch the Dodgers coming off a frustrating offensive game. Los Angeles went 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position on Friday. "Man, it's a tough lineup that does a ton of damage, that doesn't swing and miss a ton," Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said. "They have a lot of versatility in how they can beat you ... "Just a nice job between (catcher Pedro) Pages and our pitching staff today." In his career, Fedde is 1-1 with a 2.77 ERA in three appearances (two starts) against the Dodgers. --Field Level Media
