Emmet Sheehan
missed the entire 2024 season as the
Los Angeles Dodgers
took the World Series. He had
Tommy John surgery
in May and has been having difficulty coming back. Now, Emmet Sheehan made a big leap forward. He threw 40 live pitches recently. That's a very good sign that he'll be coming back quickly. If everything keeps going well, Sheehan could begin a
rehab assignment
within weeks.
Emmet Sheehan grinding to get back into Dodgers rotation
The Dodgers drafted Emmet Sheehan in the MLB Draft several years ago. Then he advanced through the minor leagues quite quickly and played his first year in the big leagues shortly thereafter. Emmet Sheehan started 11 games and appeared in 13 games during that first-year season.

He even pitched in the 2023 playoffs, 3.2 innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It wasn't his best game; he gave up three runs but it was still quality experience for the young pitcher.
Before the 2024 season, the Dodgers put Emmet Sheehan on the 60-day injured list. He's been rehabbing the long process of recovering from having Tommy John surgery since.
Emmet Sheehan faced live batters for the first time last week and threw 40 pitches. That's a big step back to the field.
Emmet Sheehan joins Hurt and Ryan on a long road back to full health
Emmet Sheehan is not the only
Dodgers pitcher
recovering from Tommy John surgery. Right-handers Kyle Hurt and River Ryan both received the same procedure in 2024.
Emmet Sheehan had his done in May, Hurt in July, and Ryan in August. Hurt and Ryan have started throwing but have yet to pitch in bullpen sessions.
Overall, the Dodgers have 13 pitchers out on the injured list. That doesn't even include two-way sensation Shohei Ohtani, who is hitting but not pitching this year. The team is hoping to get at least some of the pitchers back later in the season to offer relief.
Although Emmet Sheehan has not pitched in a big league game since 2023, the Dodgers remain patient. They want to ensure that he's ready before returning.

Siddaramaiah deflects Bengaluru stampede blame, says 'no connection to stadium'
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah attempted to dissociate his government from the Bengaluru stampede tragedy on Sunday, claiming it didn't have 'any connection with the stadium'. Eleven people died and scores sustained injuries after the stampede broke out outside the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru on June 4 during RCB's IPL victory celebrations. "This incident shouldn't have happened. It happened at the Cricket stadium. I don't have any connection with the cricket stadium," he said at the press conference. Also read: 'My son will not come back': Father of Bengaluru stampede victim says compensation will go to wife, daughter Pinning the blame for the stampede on officials, Siddaramaiah also said that this was the first such incident in the state under his leadership and that they have taken action by suspending several officials. "It was an unfortunate incident, it shouldn't have happened. Such an incident never happened after I became the CM. Prima facie it seems to have happened because of the officials' fault, so we have taken action. Everyone is in pain, including me,' he said. When asked whether now-suspended Bengaluru Police commissioner B Dayananda was being made a scapegoat, Siddaramaiah said that five other officials have also been suspended. Highlighting his government's action in response to the stampede, he said, "My political secretary, K Govindaraj, has been removed. We have taken a series of actions, not just the police commissioner alone." The chief minister also added that it was only at 5.45 pm on June 4 that he got to know about the deaths due to the stampede, while they were reported at the hospital at 3.50 pm.

Siddaramaiah was not present at the event held at the Chinnaswamy stadium on June 4. However, he did attend the felicitation ceremony for the RCB held in front of Vidhana Soudha on the invitation of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA ) Secretary and Treasurer. The BJP-led Opposition has demanded the chief minister's resignation. Last week, the Karnataka government announced a compensation of ₹25 lakh for the families of those who died in the stampede.

Aaron Judge shuts down Red Sox trash talk with thunderous home run that echoes through rivalry
Yankees' Aaron Judge makes Red Sox pitcher pay for trash talk with jaw-dropping home run (Imagn Images) Boston Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins found himself in hot water this weekend—not just from the heat of Yankee Stadium, but from the backlash his own words invited. Before taking the mound against the New York Yankees, the 25-year-old made headlines for declaring he would "retire" if the Yankees were the last team to offer him a contract. It was a comment that didn't sit well with Yankees manager Aaron Boone, and it certainly didn't go unnoticed by Aaron Judge. Red Sox pitcher mocks Yankees—Aaron Judge responds with towering home run in perfect revenge On Sunday, Dobbins was quickly introduced to the dangers of speaking too soon. After allowing a leadoff single to Ben Rice, Dobbins had to deal with the reigning American League MVP. Judge, never one to shy away from the moment, responded the best way he knows how—by launching a 97-mph fastball into orbit. The ball rocketed off his bat at 108.6 mph and soared 436 feet into right-center field. That marked Judge's 22nd home run of the season and a definitive exclamation point in a game that had only just begun. Dobbins's comment wasn't just bad timing—it may have been the perfect fuel for a Yankees lineup always looking for motivation. While it's understandable that rivalries bring out the emotion in young players, this was a classic case of words turning into bulletin board material. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo The Yankees didn't need to say much. Judge's swing said it all. Going forward, Dobbins might want to save the mic-drop moments for after the final out. When you poke the bear—especially one wearing pinstripes—don't be surprised if it bites back. On this day, Judge had the last word, and it echoed all the way into Boston.
