Angel City part ways with Bre Norris, Hannah Johnson
Johnson made just one appearance for Angel City, as a June 7 substitute. Norris never got into a match with the team.
"This club and our players have definitely benefitted from having Hannah and Bre part of the roster and LA community," Angel City sporting director Mark Parsons said in a statement. "They are both fantastic young professionals and we cannot wait to see what they do next and will be cheering them on."
Johnson, 22, was a collegiate star at Mississippi State prior to joining Angel City in March during the preseason.
Norris, 22, is a member of the Mexican under-23 national team. During her time at the University of Portland, she was twice selected the West Coast Conference Goalkeeper of the Year.

Angels heating up, look for series win vs. Rangers
July 29 - The Los Angeles Angels will try to accomplish something they haven't done in over a month when they face the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night in Anaheim, Calif. Win three games in a row. The Angels haven't won a trio of consecutive games since June 23-25 when they swept a three-game series from the Boston Red Sox. Los Angeles is 4 1/2 games behind Boston for the final American League wild-card spot. The Rangers are a half-game back. All-Star Yusei Kikuchi (4-7, 3.23 ERA) gets the start for Los Angeles on Tuesday and will be opposed by fellow veteran left-hander Patrick Corbin (6-7, 3.78). Kikuchi is 4-2 with a 5.01 ERA in 10 career appearances (nine starts) against the Rangers. Corbin is 3-0 with a 4.62 ERA in five career starts against the Angels. He picked up the win in a 11-4 victory at Anaheim Stadium on July 10, allowing two runs -- a two-run homer by Taylor Ward -- on seven hits in five innings while striking out six. Corbin comes in on a roll, going 2-0 with a 2.01 ERA in four starts in July, including back-to-back road wins at San Diego and in Los Angeles against the Angels. He has allowed only five runs and 21 hits in 22 1/3 innings in July while striking out 22. The Angels won the series opener, 6-4, on Monday night, roughing up Rangers ace Jacob deGrom in the process. deGrom, who entered the contest with a nine-start unbeaten streak, gave up a season-high five runs on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings. Ward matched his career high with his 25th home run, a solo shot leading off the bottom of the sixth to break a 3-3 tie. Kevin Newman and Luis Rengifo both hit two-run homers for the Angels. "It's great. He's tough," Angels interim manager Ray Montgomery said of getting a win over deGrom. "He's one of the best in the game and he has been for a long time. He made a couple of mistakes ... and we capitalized on them with home runs, which was nice." Rengifo's two-run blast to right came off reliever Jacob Webb and extended the Angels' lead to 6-3. "The long ball beat us tonight. They got every mistake," Texas manager Bruce Bochy said. "You give them credit there. They hit a lot of home runs. In this ballpark, the ball flies. If you get it up in the air, it's got a good chance of going out, and that's what happened." It was just the second loss in 10 games since the All-Star break for the Rangers. The Rangers remain four games behind first-place Houston in the AL West. "Look, I have a calm group out there," Bochy told "They've been through a lot. They're not going to dwell on this game here. They'll put this behind them, we'll come out and play tomorrow. We're in July. We have a lot of baseball left." --Field Level Media

D-backs (and Tigers) await news on Eugenio Suarez's hand
July 29 - There was plenty of drama during the first game of the Arizona-Detroit series on Monday night, though it had little to do with the outcome. The Tigers and Diamondbacks will play the second game of the three-game series on Tuesday evening in Detroit. The Diamondbacks and the many trade suitors for Eugenio Suarez got a huge scare in the ninth inning when the slugging third baseman was hit in the hand by a Will Vest pitch. Suarez said afterward that X-rays on his index finger were negative. He planned to have more tests on Tuesday. "Right now, it's painful, obviously. The good news is the X-ray was negative," he said postgame. "We'll see (Tuesday) what else they're going to do. Right now, I will do my best to try to be back soon." The Tigers are one of many teams reportedly interested in the services of Suarez, who is among the top five in the majors with 36 homers. Detroit won the series opener 5-1 and will seek a third straight victory following a six-game slide. The Tigers' roster is in flux. Outfielder Kerry Carpenter was activated from the injured list on Sunday. The team learned on Monday that starting pitcher Reese Olson would miss at least the remainder of the regular season with a shoulder injury, so the Tigers acquired Chris Paddack from the Minnesota Twins to replace him. Detroit also placed outfielder Parker Meadows on the IL with a quad issue. Andy Ibanez, who was recalled from Triple-A Toledo, gave the offense a spark with a double and solo homer Monday night. "I told (Ibanez) before the game, don't try to make up for lost time in one game," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. "So if that's his way of just settling in -- bam, double, homer. I know it means a lot to him. It crushed him to be sent down. But he went down, did his work and waited for the next opportunity." American League All-Star Casey Mize (9-4, 3.40 ERA), who is scheduled to start for the Tigers on Tuesday, has gotten roughed up in his past two starts. The right-hander allowed six runs in three innings to the Seattle Mariners just before the break, then yielded five runs (four earned) and 10 hits in four innings at Pittsburgh last Tuesday in an 8-5 loss. "I just look at myself and what I can do better," Mize said. "I think the role of the starting pitcher is so important, just setting the tone for the game and not having those guys on the field for too long." Mize, who will face the Diamondbacks for the first time, originally was scheduled to pitch on Monday. He was given an extra day of rest after experiencing some minor knee tightness. Right-hander Brandon Pfaadt (10-6, 4.76 ERA), Mize's mound opponent, has delivered three straight solid starts. He held the San Diego Padres to two runs in eight innings on July 9. In his first outing after the All-Star break, Pfaadt tossed seven scoreless innings against St. Louis. In his latest start, he was charged with two runs in 5 1/3 innings in his team's 4-3 loss to the Houston Astros on Wednesday. Pfaadt didn't give up a run in the first five innings but was pulled shortly after allowing back-to-back doubles in the sixth. "Ran into some trouble in the sixth, and (it) came back to bite us," said Pfaadt, who will face the Tigers for the first time in his career. "That's what's most disappointing." --Field Level Media

NFL quarterback Will Levis shares hideous photo of shoulder injury that has ruled him out of 2025 season
NFL quarterback Will Levis has shared a picture of the gruesome shoulder injury that has ruled him out of the 2025 season, as he prepares to undergo surgery. The Titans revealed earlier this month that Levis will be out for the entirety of the upcoming campaign after suffering the injury, in a major blow to the franchise. The 26-year-old is set to undergo surgery on Tuesday and, ahead of the operation, offered fans a glimpse of the current state of his injured shoulder. Taking to his Instagram story, Levis shared a photo of his swollen shoulder with the caption: 'Last night with this lil guy'. Levis also included a 'raised hands' emoji which appeared to represent his excitement at finally getting the injury resolved - even if it means missing the upcoming season. Earlier in the month, the Titans released a statement revealing the news that Levis would be ruled out for the entire 2025 campaign. 'After consulting with doctors and his representatives, Will Levis has decided to undergo shoulder surgery that will sideline him for the entire 2025 season,' the statement read. 'We support his decision to focus on his long-term health. He approached the offseason with professionalism and showed clear growth as a leader. We remain confident in his full recovery.' Levis was set to fight for his role as starting QB against first-overall pick Cam Ward - but will now sit the rest of the season. Veteran backup Brandon Allen is set to take the QB2 spot while another career benchwarmer, Tim Boyle, is projected to slide up to QB3. After initially beginning the 2023 season on the bench, Levis replaced Ryan Tannehill for eight games in the middle of the campaign. Last year, Levis became the full-time starter for Tennessee, but did not put up the most impressive numbers. He finished with 2,091 yards - good for only 27th in the league. Levis even finished behind Jameis Winston, who only became the starter for the Cleveland Browns after Deshaun Watson went down with a season-ending injury. Additionally, Levis finished the season with a QBR of 27.8 - good for 32nd in the NFL. He also put up a rough TD-INT ratio of 13 to 12. Levis missed five games in the 2025 season. First, he missed three games after injuring his AC joint in Week 3. Then, his poor performances led to him being benched for two weeks toward the end of the season. Now, Ward is set to get the start after a stellar season with the Miami Hurricanes in 2024. He is the first quarterback that the Titans have taken in the first round since they selected Marcus Mariota second overall in 2015. Ward is also the first first-overall pick that the franchise has had since the then-Houston Oilers took running back Earl Campbell in 1978.
