Yankees' Aaron Boone Sends Ben Rice Message as Catcher Job Remains Unclaimed
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ben Rice's remarkable season has been a key to keeping the New York Yankees afloat. Rice didn't have a clear path to playing time in spring training, but Giancarlo Stanton's elbow injuries opened the door to at-bats early on. Once Stanton returned, Rice saw more time on the bench at first, but lately, he's been carving out a role for himself at an unexpected position. Though he was a catcher and first baseman in the minors, Rice didn't have a single start in the majors behind the plate until mid-June, with Austin Wells entrenched as the starter. Lately, though, the split has been a lot more even. NEW YORK, NY - AUGUST 11: Ben Rice #22 talks to Will Warren #98 of the New York Yankees during the game against the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium on August 11, 2025 in New... NEW YORK, NY - AUGUST 11: Ben Rice #22 talks to Will Warren #98 of the New York Yankees during the game against the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium on August 11, 2025 in New York, New York. (Photo by New)Rice has caught six of the Yankees' last 12 games as of Wednesday, and with another home run on Monday night, his 17th of the season, he's threatening to snatch the starting job from Wells, the third-place finisher in last year's Rookie of the Year race. Rice got another start in an 8-1 Yankees win on Tuesday, and although manager Aaron Boone didn't tip his hand regarding who would start the majority of games moving forward, he lauded Rice for the strides he has made behind the plate. "He hasn't done it a lot at this level, so there's still some things to learn, but we've been really pleased with how well he's handled it," Boone said, per Zach Braziller of the New York Post. "Him now from two months ago is a lot different -- he's gaining confidence and just playing really well." "He's a really good receiver. I've really liked his preparation and game calling up here since he's got in there more and more." If Rice's defense can get anywhere near Wells, there's no contest as to who should be behind the dish. The former has a 115 OPS+, while the latter's sits at 85. There's no platoon potential here, as both Rice and Wells are left-handed batters (as is third-stringer J.C. Escarra). By October, if the Yankees are lucky enough to make it that far, one of the 26-year-olds is going to be firmly entrenched as the starter. Recent trends suggest Rice is well on his way to earning that role, but ultimately, it's Boone's call as the skipper. More MLB: Yankees Ripped For Keeping Aaron Boone Over 3-Time Manager Of The Year

2024-25 Thunder player grades: Ajay Mitchell
The calendar has flipped to August, which means we've officially hit the low point of the NBA cycle. The next couple of months are the driest part of the year. Everybody has headed to vacation and awaits training camp to kick off the 2025-26 season. The Oklahoma City Thunder continue to enjoy their NBA championship. They had a historic 68-14 regular-season campaign that eventually led to the franchise's first title with a 2025 NBA Finals Game 7 win. They'll enter next season as a favorite to be a rare repeat winner. To reflect on their title run, Thunder Wire will conduct 2024-25 season grades for all 19 players who suited up for the squad at one point during the year. Thirteenth up is Ajay Mitchell, who had a promising start to his career despite injuries: 2024-25 statistics: Advanced stats: Significant Percentile Finishes: Contract: Thoughts: Being on a two-way deal to start the season, Mitchell was the rare player who never suited up in the G League. Instead, he loudly knocked on the door and forced the Thunder to play him from the start. The 23-year-old had a strong start to his rookie season that was eventually torpedoed by injury. The Thunder desperately needed another ball-handler. When Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was off the floor, the offense plummeted. Mitchell helped it stay above water as the backup guard. A couple of months into the season, he was a staple in OKC's rotation. It didn't take long for Mitchell to surpass his draft spot. The second-round rookie gained rotation minutes on an NBA champion. He was a steady hand who could run the offense. He drove to the basket and was a good catch-and-shoot option. He helped Jalen Williams dominate on the bench lineup. Everything looked great for Mitchell. He was ready to contribute from the start. Isaiah Hartenstein campaigned for him to win Rookie of the Year. He was well on his way to getting converted to a standard contract. Then a toe turf injury sidelined him. Mitchell required surgery. He missed three months of the regular season. He managed to return before the playoffs started, but his rustiness and inexperience made it difficult for him to get serious minutes in the postseason. Instead, he was on the outside looking in with OKC's rotation. While the injury ruined any chances for rookie accolades, it was just a speed bump. The Thunder felt confident enough in Mitchell to convert him to a standard deal, anyway. They liked what they saw in his limited action. The 23-year-old showed he could fit the traditional backup point guard role. Moving Forward: It looks like the Thunder nailed another second-round pick. All the hoopla they went through to add Mitchell was worth it. They gave him a new contract this offseason to keep him around. He's had quite the journey from a two-way player to receiving NBA Finals minutes. Let's see if Mitchell can take the next step in his development. He showed some flashes of it at Summer League. He was the Thunder's top scorer by playing a drive-heavy brand of scoring. He'd get to the lane and either finish through traffic or go to the free-throw line. That looked promising. Especially if he can draw contact more often. Mitchell could also improve as a playmaker. The assist numbers weren't great. He was more of a score-first guard. But that type of improvement comes with time. No reason to think he won't be better at making reads with more reps in the future. The Thunder will need to figure out who their backup guard will be next season. Mitchell will certainly be in the mix. His main competition will be Nikola Topic. Those two young players will battle it out to see who's more ready to contribute right away and who needs more time to develop in the G League. Taking a guess, Mitchell looks to be the former. It makes sense, being three years older than Topic. He also has NBA experience on his side. It's a good problem to have, as the backup guard role was one of the Thunder's few weak spots last season. As the Thunder get more expensive, they will need players like Mitchell to step up as rotation players. He's a young player on a cheap contract who can continue to grow. At worst, he has a safe floor of being a bench player. OKC's roster is filled with guys who played above their draft status. He could be another example of that. Final Grade: B-minus

Caitlin Clark gets chippy with referee after Fever's loss to Wings
A crushing night in Indianapolis ended with what appeared to be a heated moment between Caitlin Clark and a referee. With the Fever trailing the Wings by one point Tuesday with less than two seconds to go in regulation, Indiana guard Kelsey Mitchell hurled the ball toward the net for the win but clipped the backboard instead. Advertisement As the Wings celebrated the 81-80 road victory inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Clark — currently sidelined with a groin injury — walked on the court toward official Amy Bonner, with images of the interaction seemingly illustrating a chippy exchange, in which the ref appeared to point toward the bench. Clark, who isn't a stranger to jawing with the refs, wasn't the only member of the Fever who appeared to take exception to the officiating Tuesday, with head coach Stephanie White chiding the 'double standard' in a physical game. 5 Caitlin Clark appears to get chippy with a referee on Aug. 12, 2025.

If you're going to call the holds, and you're going to call the chucks, then call it both ways, White said, according to the Indy Star. 'So, I mean, I think that we've been pretty consistent in what we're asking for, and I didn't feel like it was consistent,' White, in her first season as coach of the Fever, 'went up to the referees multiple times during breaks and timeouts to talk and get clarity on different foul calls,' per the Indy Star. 5 Caitlin Clark on the floor during the Fever's 81-80 loss to the Wings.
