Pirates catcher Endy Rodriguez is going to get an injection for his ailing right elbow
CHICAGO — Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Endy Rodríguez is going to get a platelet-rich plasma injection for his ailing right elbow.
Rodríguez got a second opinion from Dodgers team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles.
'(The) recommendation was for a PRP injection that he'll get next week and then four weeks of complete rest before he starts to ramp back up,' Pirates manager Don Kelly said before Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. 'So unfortunately, it'll be a little while.'
The 25-year-old Rodríguez, who also plays first base, was placed on the 10-day injured list on June 7 with elbow inflammation. He was transferred to the 60-day IL on Friday.
Rodríguez is batting .173 (9 for 52) in 18 games this season. He also was on the IL from April 15 to May 28 with a lacerated right index finger .

The Boys star Erin Moriatry reveals Graves' disease diagnosis in health update
Erin Moriatry, best known for her performance in the 2019 drama series The Boys, has revealed she has been diagnosed with the autoimmune condition Graves' disease. The 30-year-old actor said in a recent Instagram post that she received treatment within 24 hours of her diagnosis and has been 'increasing in strength ever since'. 'A month ago, I was diagnosed with Graves' disease,' she said. 'Within 24 hours of beginning treatment, I felt the light coming back on.' She urged fans who feel their light 'dimming' to get checked. 'Don't 'suck it up' and transcend suffering; you deserve to be comfy. S***'s hard enough as is,' she added. In the series of photos shared alongside the health update, Moriatry posted a screenshot of a text exchange with her mother where she wrote, 'I'm serious; I really need relief. I feel nauseated tonight. I feel so s*** and removed from who I am, I can't live like this forever.' In another screenshot of a text to her father after beginning treatment, she said: 'I already feel a world of difference, primary thought (as of now): 'Damn, this is how I'm supposed to feel? I've been missing out!' xx.' She also told her followers: 'Autoimmune disease manifests differently in everybody/every body. Your experience will be different from mine. My experience will be different from yours. Perhaps greatly, perhaps minutely. One thing I can say: if I hadn't chalked it all up to stress and fatigue, I would've caught this sooner.' Graves' disease is a form of hyperthyroidism where the thyroid gland is overactive and produces too much thyroid hormone. It is caused when the body's immune system produces antibodies that disrupt the thyroid to make too much thyroid hormone (thyroxine). According to the NHS, symptoms may include a fast heart rate or palpitations, diarrhoea, tremor, difficulties sleeping, weight loss, irregular periods, and feeling hot, hungry or anxious. Some patients may experience neck swelling or bulging eyes, which is called Graves' ophthalmopathy. Treatment typically includes an antithyroid drug called carbimazole. In some young people, Graves' disease runs its course over a few years and the thyroid recovers. In others, treatment needs to continue using the drug carbimazole or by having the thyroid gland removed by surgery (thyroidectomy). Moriatry rose to fame across four seasons of Eric Kripke's superhero drama The Boys, as Annie January, a superhero who goes by the name Starlight. Her other credits include 2013 film The Kings of Summer and 2016's Captain Fantastic.

🌎 The Club World Cup guide to...Paris Saint-Germain
Our guide to all 32 clubs participating at the FIFA Club World Cup continues. You can check out the full list so far here. Today we're looking Saint-Germain. How did they qualify for the Club World Cup? Paris Saint-Germain booked their place in the USA this summer through the UEFA confederation rankings table. The French side have accrued 85 points over the last four-year period - the fourth-best of any European club. History at the Club World Cup 📸 MAHMUD HAMS - AFP or licensors Advertisement This will be the first time PSG have participated in the Club World Cup. The closest the French side have previously come to anything like the Club World Cup was all the way back in 1975 when they played host to the Tournoi des Paris - a four-way tournament that included South American champions Fluminense and European Cup winners Feyenoord. How did they perform in the 2024/25 season? PSG have been the best team in Europe this season, winning the Treble - Ligue 1, Coupe de France and Champions League. Their 5-0 triumph over Inter in the final in Munich was widely hailed as the best performance in the competition in decades. Who is the coach? Spanish tactician Luis Enrique serves as PSG's head coach. He was appointed in July 2023 and has since extended his contract until June 2027. Under the former Barcelona boss, PSG have become, arguably, Europe's most complete side with one of the most potent attacks in the world. Who is their star player? After adopting a policy of signing the world's most famous players for almost a decade, the French giants have opted instead to go for team cohesion over social media numbers. As such, winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is now arguably their most recognisable name. Expected performance at the Club World Cup Despite being drawn in a tough group, if this season's performances are anything to go by, PSG can comfortably be considered one of the favourites. 📸 KARIM JAAFAR - AFP or licensors

Pat McAfee Had Words for Caitlin Clark Amid Angel Reese Drama
The main talking point of the 2025 WNBA season was the showdown between Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever team and Angel Reese's Chicago Sky squad. The Fever left no questions with a dominant 93-58 win at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Advertisement However, the big fallout from the game was the incident between Clark and Reese where the Fever star sent Reese to the ground after a foul. That play and that game have become the center of attention for sports media, and rightfully so. Stephen A. Smith told them to "embrace the rivalry." "Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, embrace this (rivalry)," Smith said. "It's okay, because all y'all are doing is competing." The Clark-Reese rivalry continued, and the 2025 season kicked off with even more storylines. Still, the greatness of Clark, who is in Year 2 in her WNBA career, could not go unnoticed by Pat McAfee during his show on Monday. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22).Grace Smith/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK "She has surpassed everybody in the amount of time she has played in the WNBA," McAfee said. "What she has done for this city and this team is unbelievable." Advertisement "She is the one," McAfee added. "This is the golden goose. This is the one. This is the generational, multi-generational player, and we're incredibly lucky she's in Indianapolis." McAfee spoke in great detail about Clark's greatness, even saying that his show went to cover the bracket reveal in Iowa, a testament to how much she has changed the landscape of the game. In the opener, Clarj had 20 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and four blocks in a strong start to her sophomore campaign. Related: New Video Shows Caitlin Clark's Motivation for Shoving Angel Reese
