LSU Baseball adds experienced infielder from High Point to 2026 roster
LSU is in the thick of a postseason run, but that didn't stop Jay Johnson from going to work in the transfer portal. Multiple sources confirmed that LSU baseball added Brayden Simpson to its 2026 roster. The infielder from High Point batted .389 with a .477 on-base percentage, 77 RBI, and 22 home runs. Simpson started every game in 2025, primarily at third base for the Panthers, who finished 39-19 overall and made it to the Big South Conference tournament championship. Advertisement Simpson earned All-Big South first-team honors and finished at No. 10 on D1 Baseball's Top 50 Third Basemen list. He hit two home runs in a quarterfinal walk-off win over Charleston Southern during the 2025 conference tournament. With Michael Braswell departing, the Tigers are in need of an every day starter at the hot corner who can also produce at the plate. They'll lose multiple sluggers following the 2025 season, including Jared Jones. Simpson fills each of those needs as he heads into his senior year.

Inter Milan defender Bisseck to miss Germany games after getting injured in Champions League final
Associated Press MUNICH (AP) — Inter Milan defender Yann Aurel Bisseck will miss Germany's upcoming Nations League games after getting injured in the team's Champions League final loss to Paris Saint-Germain. Bisseck only made a short appearance in Saturday's final, going on as a substitute in the 54th minute, then off again in the 62nd with an apparent right leg injury. The German soccer federation (DFB) said Sunday that Bisseck had muscular problems at the back of his right thigh, ruling him out of the Nations League semifinal against Portugal in Munich on Wednesday, as well as the final or third-place playoff against Spain or France four days later. Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann called up Monaco defender Thilo Kehrer in Bisseck's place. Kehrer was to join the rest of the squad Monday at its training base in Herzogenaurach. The 28-year-old Kehrer has made 27 appearances for Germany, though none since June 2023. Mainz midfielder Nadiem Amiri left the camp Saturday and will miss the games with what the DFB said were 'adductor problems.' Nagelsmann had previously called up Mainz forward Jonathan Burkardt to replace the injured Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller. Stiller wasn't fully fit but was involved in three of Stuttgart's four goals as it defeated Arminia Bielefeld 4-2 in the German Cup final. ___ AP soccer:
