Phillies sign first-round pick Gage Wood, Arkansas pitcher who threw CWS no-hitter
The Phillies signed first-round draft pick Gage Wood, the club announced Tuesday. Selected 26th overall in the 2025 MLB Draft, the Arkansas pitcher is best-known for throwing a no-hitter against Murray State in the 2025 College World Series — the event's third-ever no-hitter and first in more than 60 years. He had a perfect game until the eighth, when he hit a batter in the foot. 'I think about it almost every day,' Wood said of the HBP at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday. The right-handed pitcher throws a fastball that reaches 98 mph, sitting at 95-96 mph. The pitch drew the highest whiff rate of any fastball in Division I baseball this season. His curveball sits around 83-85 mph. He also throws a cutter and splitter, which the Phillies envision him using in a starter's four-pitch mix. In 10 starts in 2025, Wood went 4-1 with a 3.82 ERA in 37 2/3 innings. He struck out 69 and walked seven. Advertisement Wood was injured for nearly two months of the NCAA season with a shoulder impingement before returning in mid-April. The Phillies were not concerned by the injury as they scouted him. Wood arrived at Citizens Bank Park a few days before Philadelphia announced the signing, catching some Phillies games — including Kyle Schwarber's grand slam on Saturday. 'I've been showing (the video) to all my friends, that this place was going bonkers,' Wood said. Next for Wood: reporting to Florida, where he will 'work as hard as I can to perform the best that I can.'

9 takeaways from report day at Bears training camp
The Chicago Bears are finally back at Halas Hall for the start of training camp, which is gearing up to be an exciting summer. With the Bears reporting for training camp on Tuesday, general manager Ryan Poles, head coach Ben Johnson, quarterback Caleb Williams and defensive tackle Grady Jarrett all took time to meet with the media and field questions before practice begins Wednesday morning. There were plenty of notable updates from Poles and Johnson, including regarding injuries to key players like cornerback Jaylon Johnson, tight end Colston Loveland and left tackle Braxton Jones, as well as some new faces signed to the roster among other headlines. As the Bears prepare for their first practice, here what we learned from report day: Jaylon Johnson will miss a few weeks with leg injury Chicago placed Pro Bowl cornerback Jaylon Johnson on the Non-Football Injury list before training camp, and it sounds like he'll be out longer than expected. Bears general manager Ryan Poles said that Johnson suffered a leg injury while training this summer. He will be out for the next few weeks before returning to the practice field. Poles said the team isn't "overly concerned" about any long-term issues impacting Johnson's return. Bears announced signings of CB Tre Flowers, DE Tanoh Kpassagnon The Bears announced some roster moves ahead of their first training camp practice, which included signing a pair of veterans in cornerback Tre Flowers and defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon. The Flowers addition comes as no surprise with Jaylon Johnson expected to be sidelined a few weeks with a leg injury. Meanwhile, there's some familiarity with Kpassagnon, who played for new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen in New Orleans. Colston Loveland, Braxton Jones are ramping up While the Bears will be without star cornerback Jaylon Johnson for a few weeks, they did receive some good news about rookie tight end Colston Loveland and veteran left tackle Braxton Jones, who have both been cleared for training camp. General manager Ryan Poles revealed both Loveland and Jones will have ramp up periods as they return to the practice field. Chicago will hold their first practice, which is closed to the public, on Wednesday morning. Ben Johnson still evaluating run game scheme New Bears head coach Ben Johnson is highly regarded as one of the NFL's brightest offensive minds, which is a big reason why he's in Chicago. But he's made it clear not to expect a replica of what he did with the Detroit Lions. In fact, the offense is still a work in progress. Johnson told reporters he's still evaluating which schemes he'll lean into this season. 'I don't know if we're going to be a wide zone team up front," he said. "I don't know if we're going to be a gap team." Johnson should get a better sense once the pads come on a week or so into training camp. It's an open competition for left tackle The Bears will have a number of position battles to monitor at training camp this summer, but none is bigger than the competition at left tackle between Braxton Jones, rookie Ozzy Trapilo and second-year pro Kiran Amegadjie. With Jones being nearly full-go (he'll ramp up to start camp), you would assume that he has the upper hand in the battle. But Ben Johnson said everyone has a "fair shot" at winning the starting left tackle job. Trapilo and Amegadjie had been rotating with the starting offense during OTAs and minicamp. We'll see how that continues once Jones returns. "We're gonna let the competition play out, and we'll see where it goes," Johnson said. Ben Johnson's goal for Caleb Williams in 2025 There are high expectations surrounding second-year quarterback Caleb Williams in his first season with offensive guru Ben Johnson. While Johnson isn't setting completion percentage goals for training camp, he did reveal his goal is for Williams to complete 70% of his passes during the 2025 season. "It's a lofty goal, but it's one we're going to strive for," Johnson said. Last season, Williams completed 62.5% of his passes as a rookie in what was a dysfunctional offense that saw three different offensive coordinators and arguably the worst offensive line in the NFL. With the improvements made this offseason, that goal should certainly be attainable for Williams. For what it's worth, Jared Goff completed over 70% of his passes (72.4%) for the first time in his career just last season. Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson building strong connection The bond between head coach and quarterback is an important one, and it's going to be instrumental for the future success of the Bears. Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams were asked about their growing connection, and it's clear they're building a strong connection even just a few months into the process. Johnson said the pair shared several phone calls this offseason as they continue to build their relationship. "We're in a great place," Johnson said. "He wants to get coached hard, and we're going to push him as hard as we can and do what's right for the team." As for Williams, he's loving the way Johnson is pushing to get the best out of him. 'It's been growing, it's been awesome," Williams said. "He gets on me and it's greatly appreciated that he does.' How Grady Jarrett plans to help prepare Caleb Williams Defensive tackle Grady Jarrett is about to kick off his first training camp not with the Atlanta Falcons, where he comes to the Bears as a veteran force along the defensive interior and a leader for the team. When asked specifically about how he can help second-year quarterback Caleb Williams, he said he wants to give Williams "big brother love" while also pushing him to get better every day. That includes sometimes ruffling his feathers to help prepare him for what he'll see on the field. 'Sometimes you gotta talk a little mess to him," Jarrett said, "…so by the time the game come, nothing gonna phase him.' Caleb Williams sets lofty goals for Year 2 While quarterback Caleb Williams is only entering his second season, there's already a ton of pressure coming from the outside. The Bears focused on building around Williams this offseason, including hiring Ben Johnson as head coach, revamping the interior offensive line and adding even more weapons to his arsenal. Now, the young signal-caller is setting some lofty goals for himself in Year 2, which includes becoming the first 4,000-yard passer in Bears history, compete 70% of his passes (which Johnson challenged him to do), score as much as he can and win football games. Bears fantasy owners, take note.
