Brewers' Sal Frelick lands on injured list with hamstring strain
He got hurt making a sliding catch in the final game before the All-Star break last Sunday. The move was retroactive to Tuesday.
Frelick ran in the outfield at Dodger Stadium after spending the break at home in the Boston area working with his personal trainer.
'Just knowing Sal, he's going to want to return as soon as possible, but we got to be smart,' Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. 'He's a really important part of our club. It's difficult to think about playing without him because he's such an intricate cog of our club.'

49ers DC Robert Saleh brushes off awful outing from rookie in NFL preseason debut
After losing Dre Greenlaw and De'Vondre Campbell in the offseason, the San Francisco 49ers are looking for someone to step up and fil major roles at the position besides four-time All-Pro Fred Warner. San Francisco hoped that one of their best options would be Nick Martin, one of their third-round picks from this year's draft. However, with 2023 sixth-round pick Dee Winters really impressing throughout training camp, Martin appears to be fighting for a rotational snaps. During the team's first preseason game of the year, a 30-9 loss to the Denver Broncos at Levi's Stadium, Martin was noticeable on the field, but not in the way he wanted to be. The rookie finished the day with five tackles, but his missed tackles were one of the fan base's talking points after the game, and while some are worried about his performance, 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh isn't one of them. 'Nick's doing a good job," Saleh told reporters on Tuesday. "Obviously, he's a big-time running hit linebacker, so he just has to learn how to control himself at the tackle point and come together. It's getting his feet underneath him and just get his body on the ball carrier until the speed of the game catches up to him. If that makes sense. But he's young. It was his first real live action in over a year and a half, so we're not concerned with some of those missed tackles. I think we'll get those cleaned up.' Martin, 22, was a three-star recruit out of Pleasant Grove High School in Texarkana, Texas before committing to Oklahoma State from 2021-24. During his time with the Cowboys, he appeared in 35 games and recorded 203 tackles (24 for a loss), seven sacks, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumbles recovered. He also earned All-Big 12 honors once. Despite the rough first week Saleh believes in the rookie linebacker and knows he has others to lean on in the locker room. "He's in a good place," Saleh said. "The good thing is, he's got a lot of teammates who have had first preseason games that didn't go so well. So, you just put it to the side and find a way to get better. He's going to have another opportunity to do that against Vegas.' A strong final two games in the preseason could earn Martin the top backup spot in the linebacker room, but more performances like the last, and he could be surpassed by Luke Gifford and Tatum Bethune, who both looked solid against Denver.

Mets' Pete Alonso Makes Retirement Timeline Announcement as Free Agency Looms
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The New York Mets saw Pete Alonso break the franchise home run record on Tuesday night against the Atlanta Braves. He could hit free agency next year, and all of the pressure is on the Mets. Alonso has done nothing but produce at a high level since his debut in 2019. Only Aaron Judge has more home runs since then. However, Alonso has a player option after this season, and it would make sense for him to opt out and find a better deal. Alonso has been great this year, and the Mets will surely be involved in his free agency market. He has spent his entire career with the Mets so far, and could finish as one of the best players in franchise history if the Mets can keep him around. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 12: Pete Alonso #20 of the New York Mets tosses his bat after hitting a solo home run during the sixth inning of the game against the Atlanta Braves... NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 12: Pete Alonso #20 of the New York Mets tosses his bat after hitting a solo home run during the sixth inning of the game against the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field on August 12, 2025 in New York City. MoreAfter breaking the franchise home run record, Alonso put all the pressure on the team's front office, and also revealed how much longer he is planning to play if the team is interested in making him a Met for life. "I have a goal to play baseball until I'm through my age 40 season," Alonso said, per The Athletic's Tyler Kepner. "And for me, I'm gonna work hard and do that. And you know what? Business side, Steve (Cohen) and David (Stearns), they've got to come through." Alonso is 30 right now, which means he is trying to play at least through 2035. It's unlikely the Mets are going to give him a 10-year deal in free agency. However, the five-time All-Star has no plans of retiring soon. Alonso is already the home run king for the franchise. However, he could end up being one of the all-time best home run hitters in MLB history. If the Mets want to make sure he only ever wears their uniform, it may take multiple long-term contracts.

Oklahoma Sooners are a blue blood, but a rival got left out
College football has 136 programs at the FBS level for the 2025 season. Those teams are spread across 10 conferences (with two schools playing as FBS Independents), and compete for the right to go to the College Football Playoff and take their best shot at the national championship. There haven't always been this many teams at college football's highest level, but the sport has always had a large number of schools spread across the country competing for the same thing. College football has been around for over 150 years, and some programs are just better at winning than others. But which programs are the cream of the crop, and which fall below that very lofty standard? That's the question that On3 Sports college football analyst Andy Staples attempted to answer on Monday. He put out a list of college football's "blue blood" programs over the course of the sport's history. The Oklahoma Sooners were an obvious choice to make the cut, and they did so. OU is a shoo-in as one of college football's all-time historically great programs, a no-doubt inclusion in the blue blood club. Staples used two criteria to make his list of 12 true blue bloods. First, the program had to be in the top 15 in all-time winning percentage, with a minimum of 750 total games played. Secondly, the program had to have at least one national title in at least two of three eras: AP or Coaches Poll in the two poll eras, or be the winner of the final game in the BCS and playoff era. Oklahoma joined the Alabama Crimson Tide, Florida State Seminoles, Georgia Bulldogs, LSU Tigers, Michigan Wolverines, Miami Hurricanes, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Tennessee Volunteers, Ohio State Buckeyes, Texas Longhorns, and USC Trojans as the best programs of all-time. The Auburn Tigers, Clemson Tigers, Florida Gators, Nebraska Cornhuskers, and Penn State Nittany Lions just missed the cut. Taking a look at those distinctions, I feel that there are a few levels that certain teams fall into. Alabama, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and USC feel like obvious choices to me. Those five programs are the most important in telling the history of college football. Michigan, Texas, and Nebraska would easily make the cut for me as well. They fall a step behind the first five, but still should be pretty clear picks. If I'm making this list, LSU and Penn State are probably safe if we capped the list at 12, with Florida and Georgia just sneaking in for me. Staples putting teams like Florida State, Miami, and Tennessee in over a couple of teams that missed the cut is a bit of a head-scratcher, and I think Auburn and Clemson bring up the rear of the 17 teams mentioned. It's hard for me to see the argument for the Seminoles, Hurricanes, and Volunteers making the list over the Cornhuskers, especially, but also over the Nittany Lions and Gators. The resume for FSU, in particular, is tough to ignore, but the 'Huskers have got to be in there. The good news for OU fans is that there's no doubt about the Sooners' place in college football. Out of the many programs that have played at the highest organizational level over the course of the long history of the sport, Oklahoma stands tall among the best of the best elite programs in college football history.
