Angels acquire LHP Jake Eder from White Sox
Los Angeles optioned the 26-year-old left-hander to Triple-A Salt Lake.
To make room on the 40-man roster, the Angels designated right-hander Michael Petersen for assignment.
Eder made one appearance for Chicago in 2024, allowing one run on two hits in two innings of relief against the Angels on Sept. 17. It was his major league debut.
The White Sox designated Eder for assignment on March 27. They acquired him from the Miami Marlins in an August 2023 trade for third baseman Jake Burger. Miami dealt Burger to the Rangers during the 2024 Winter Meetings.

Devastated Aussie Olympian Tilly Kearns announces shock split with her NFL star boyfriend - despite both of them still being in love
Australian water polo Olympian Tilly Kearns has revealed that she has split up with her American football player boyfriend solely because of the unsolvable problems of maintaining their long-distance relationship. Kearns, who took home a silver medal at last year's Paris Games, has shocked her friends and followers by announcing her break-up with Los Angeles Rams player Justin Dedich. The couple, who met at an American university several years ago, have parted ways on the best of terms and are 'hoping that the universe brings them back together' in the future. 'Justin and I are not together anymore,' Kearns told her YouTube followers. 'Purely because of long distance and it's not what we wanted... 'We're still very much best friends and hoping that the universe brings us back together.' 'It isn't our choice, but it has to be this way - thanks to long distance and our sports. Maybe once we're both retired, it'll work. 'Everything in this video, we still love each other forever. Everything in this video is 5000 per cent true. 'It makes me so happy looking back on it, but also sad - and yes, we're both f**king devastated, but what can you do?' Kearns then played a Q&A video that she made with Dedich while the pair were still dating, in which they answered questions about various topics, including their relationship. The couple spoke about how they met, what their pet peeves about each other are and how they managed to stay together when they were so far apart. Kearns said the keys to making it work are being understanding, having open communication and being OK with not talking every day. 'There were times when we'd want to call every day for hours and hours and we'd do that - then the next week "I'm really busy this week, I'm exhausted", because you've got to deal with the time difference, too. Dedich added: 'If you're uncertain, don't do it.' When asked what the couple had learned about love by having a long-distance relationship, the NFL star said 'it wasn't stagnant'. 'It's something you have to work at,' Dedich said. 'You can't be just like "it was easy in the beginning, it will just stay like that". It's hard, you've got to put in effort to do extra stuff.' On Wednesday, an emotional Kearns addressed the break-up on her Instagram page, posting that she hoped the YouTube video would answer all the questions she's been getting. In August last year, Kearns revealed the touching moment Dedich surprised her at the Paris Olympics as she was walking into the swimming arena. 'Firstly, he's a rookie in the NFL and he had his first ever NFL game the next day, so it literally was not even a thought in my head,' Kearns explained in a TikTok video. 'Like, he was just doing his thing, I was doing my thing, we just knew we couldn't be there to support each other in person to support each other.' Kearns is visibly shocked in the video when she sees Dedich supporting her in the stands. 'This is one of my old water polo coaches so I was already so surprised seeing him,' she says during the video. 'Then I walk a little bit further and this is the moment I see him.' Kearns went on to explain how her boyfriend managed to make the trip happen. 'Turns out that when we won our semi final to get into the gold medal game he went up to his head coach, really ballsy of him, and basically was like, "Tell me if I'm out of line, but can I go?"' she said. 'And the coach was like, "Yeah, man, what are you still doing here? Go." And so he got on a plane that night and flew.' Dedich's whirlwind trip to Paris lasted less than 24 hours before he was back on a plane home. Kearns was born with elite sport in her veins. Her footy star father, Phil Kearns, played during the Wallabies' most successful era in the 1990s, while her mother Julie introduced her to the Olympics two weeks before giving birth. 'My parents went to the Sydney 2000 Opening Ceremony and I was in mum's belly and I was born the day after the Closing Ceremony,' Kearns said.

Disney's new ESPN app reaches for sports fans outside cable TV
LOS ANGELES, Aug 20 - Walt Disney's (DIS.N), opens new tab ESPN will deliver its full range of sports programming outside of pay TV for the first time starting on Thursday, when the network debuts an app designed to be a hub for live games and personalized news, stats and highlights. The ESPN app is Disney's effort to capture some of the tens of millions of customers that the pioneering sports channel has lost since 2010 during the streaming TV revolution. ESPN executives said they have tailored the new offering, which is far broader than the limited ESPN+ app launched in 2018, to cater to the tastes of today's sports fans. "We know that fans don't just want to watch," ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro told reporters. "They want an experience. They want to interact." The app will offer more than 47,000 live events each year from the NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL, college football, tennis, golf and other sports. It will cost $30 per month. An introductory offer will include ad-supported versions of the Disney+ and Hulu streaming services for free. Fans can enter their favorite teams and sports for customization such as a personalized version of the "SportsCenter" news and recap show. Artificial intelligence will generate narration based on the voices of ESPN anchors. A new feature called "Verts," or scroll-ready, vertical video highlights, also can be tailored. Stats for a user's fantasy players will be displayed next to live games. And an ESPN Bet tab will show live, settled and upcoming bets for users who have linked their betting accounts. Disney Chief Executive Bob Iger has called the app "a sports fan's dream." Industry analysts see it as a chance for the company to pick up fans who do not subscribe to cable, and they do not expect it will pull masses from pay TV. ESPN was available in 100 million homes through pay TV in 2010. In July of this year, that number stood at about 61 million. "It's another step in Disney's pivot to (streaming) and the importance to streaming to the overall company," said MoffettNathanson analyst Robert Fishman. ESPN will promote the app extensively. Actor John Cena will star in commercials that stress "All of ESPN. All in One Place." Pay television will "remain a big part" of ESPN's business, Pitaro said. For the quarter that ended in June, ESPN accounted for $1 billion of Disney's $4.6 billion in operating income, or nearly 22%. Most of ESPN's revenue came from fees paid by cable and satellite distributors and from advertising. Subscribers to pay TV will have access to the new ESPN app. Pitaro said the company hoped to drive all of its customers to the app "because that's by far the best, the most holistic experience."

NFL sleuths make shock discovery about Madison Beer and Justin Herbert's romance… and why it's good for the Chargers
NFL fans believe Madison Beer and Justin Herbert may have started dating as far back as December. That's because they have unearthed a picture of the singer, 26, at a Los Angeles Chargers game on December 19. She was at SoFi Stadium to watch her rumored beau in a Thursday Night Football game between the Chargers and Denver Broncos. Those same fans also noticed just how impressive Herbert played that night, with some claiming he was out to impress the pop star. Against one of the NFL's meanest defenses, Herbert completed 23 of his 31 passes for 284 yards, two touchdowns and an interception as the Charges won 34-27. There was one particular highlight, which saw him make a ridiculous throw and lead Los Angeles to 15 points in the fourth quarter. Fans believe Herbert was 'showing off' in that game and they 'need her to attend every game' Upon discovering she was at the game and watching Herbert's highlights, Chargers fans now want her there more often as the new season approaches. One commented: 'Demon showing off lmao. Gonna need her to attend every game I fear.' Another said: 'Bro about to turn into MVP Lamar (Jackson) this year,' referencing the outstanding Baltimore Ravens quarterback. One quipped the Chargers are 'gonna need her in Brazil', referencing their Week 1 game in Sao Paulo against the Kansas City Chiefs. Another bold predicted with Beer watching on, the 'Super Bowl is a lock' and 'Herbert is winning MVP'. Attention was drawn to Beer and Herbert's potential relationship this week when he was spotted on the set of her latest music video on Sunday. The 6ft 6 quarterback, who was once NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, towered over 5ft 6 Beer, who was wearing angel wings as part of the production in Los Angeles. She was spotted at a house in Hancock Park, where the shoot ran throughout the day, wearing what appeared to be a nightshirt. Madison posed with a heart locket and a tiny heart ring. Later she introduced Herbert to various crew members before they left together in Herbert's car. The singer and Los Angeles Chargers quarterback were pictured chatting between filming Beer has previously dated TikTok star Nick Austin and briefly David Beckham's son Brooklyn Beer, 26, shot to fame in recent years after Justin Bieber shared one of her covers on YouTube and she has since gone on to become a household name. Beer, who has previously dated TikTok star Nick Austin and briefly David Beckham's son Brooklyn, has 20.5million TikTok and 40.1m Instagram followers. The singer's latest album, MB3, is set to be released later this year. Herbert was drafted by the Chargers with the sixth overall pick in 2020. He went on to win that year's Offensive Rookie of the Year prize. He signed a five-year contract worth $262.5m in 2023 but has only made the playoffs twice in five seasons, owing to being in the same division as the Kansas City Chiefs.
