Shohei Ohtani injury update: Dodgers two-way star expected to be fine after leaving with thigh issue
Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani doesn't experience many rough days on the field. But Tuesday's start against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field proved to be a difficult one for the superstar. Ohtani was knocked around in the outing, giving up five earned runs in just four innings of work. To make matters worse, the two-way star was removed from the game in the late innings due to a thigh injury. The injury occurred in the fourth inning. With Ohtani on the mound, Rockies infielder Orlando Arcia hit a line shot directly at Ohtani. The ball hit Ohtani in the right thigh. He didn't seem too phased by the injury initially, and attempted to field the ball. He failed to get the out, and gave up one more run in the frame before getting out of the inning. While Ohtani remained in the game for a few innings, he was eventually pulled by manager Dave Roberts before an at-bat in the eighth. The Dodgers couldn't overcome Ohtani's early struggles on the mound, falling to the Rockies 8-3. Thankfully for Ohtani and the Dodgers, the injury is not considered serious, and Ohtani is expected to be in the lineup Friday, per 'That's my intention,' Ohtani said through interpreter Will Ireton, 'is to make sure I get my treatment, and the goal is to make sure that I'm back to normal again. … I got hit in the same spot, hit by a pitch [earlier this season]. Right now, it feels pretty good. I'm going to do everything in my ability to make sure that it doesn't affect me moving forward." Ohtani won't play in the team's final game of the series Thursday, but that was the plan even before the thigh issue. The two-way star is in the midst of yet another fantastic season. At the plate, Ohtani is hitting .285/.392/.621, with 43 home runs. His return to the mound has also been successful, as Ohtani has a 3.47 ERA in 23 1/3 innings. If he can keep up that excellence, Ohtani could win his third MVP award. While that would be impressive, Ohtani is likely more focused on leading the Dodgers to another World Series title. The team is in good shape on that front. At 72-55, the Dodgers lead the National League West. Wednesday's contest may have been frustrating, but it seems like Ohtani came out of it fine. That's welcome news for the Dodgers, who will need Ohtani's powerful bat and blazing fastball to carry them on yet another deep postseason run in just a few weeks.

Cheese Curds, 8/21: Packers count on second-year DBs to boost secondary
During the 2024 NFL Draft, many Green Bay Packers fans — including several of us here at Acme Packing Company — were thrilled about the selection of DB Javon Bullard in the second round and puzzled by the team taking safety Evan Williams in the fourth. Those two players had very different rookie seasons, with Williams largely impressing before missing time with injury and Bullard getting off to a slow start to his NFL career. This summer, both players are trying to make that clichéd second-year jump, with each aiming to raise the level of play in the Packers' secondary in different ways. Williams is looking to become a versatile enforcer as a strong safety, perhaps embodying the type of role that Hall of Famer LeRoy Butler played 25 years ago. Meanwhile, Bullard is lining up largely in the slot while also taking reps at safety, perhaps evoking memories of Micah Hyde. The Packers are counting on both of these young players to ascend this season, though Bullard set a lower floor for himself as a rookie. Still, all of the talk about the former Georgia Bulldog through training camp has been positive, and he's drawing praise from one of his veteran teammates this week as he has taken more safety snaps with the team's top option missing some time due to injury. If Williams and Bullard do take steps forward in 2025, this team's defense should do the same as a whole and build on their successes from last season.

Serena Williams Opens Up About Being on a GLP-1
Greatest-athlete-of-all-time Serena Williams and I have just started talking over Zoom when everything comes to an abrupt halt. 'Are you in a car right now and don't have a seatbelt on?' Williams asks with a tone only a mother would use. Okay, yes, I don't have a seatbelt on while my Uber speeds up the West Side Highway. My cheeks flush as I click in, ashamed. 'I couldn't help myself,' the mother of two says. Now that I'm strapped in, she's ready to talk. The recent public discourse around Williams's body—online commenters noticing a change in her physique and demanding to know how, exactly, it came about—isn't anything new. 'I've heard negative comments, along with a tremendous amount of positive comments, about my body my entire life,' says the 23-time Grand Slam winner, who announced her retirement on the cover of Vogue in September 2022. 'For lack of a better way to say it, I don't really care what people are saying about my body anymore. But what is important to me is transparency.' That calling has led her to this very moment: Williams is ready to share that she's on the GLP-1 drug Zepbound, a type of medication typically prescribed for diabetes and now also used for weight management. She accessed the drug through Ro and is now partnering with the telehealth company to talk about her experience. Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, is an investor in the company and serves on its board. The athlete isn't the only person who has revealed they are on one of the many versions of semaglutide—Oprah, Kelly Clarkson, Charles Barkley, and more have also gone on the record about using the drug. 'There's a scene in my HBO documentary where you see my coach telling me, 'You have to lose weight,'' she shares. 'But it was so hard after I had [my first daughter] Olympia. I was literally on the court every day, doing nothing else. I had been the ultimate super-athlete, always in competition and being super-healthy my entire life, but I just could never get back to where I needed to be, no matter what I did.'
