Dodgers second baseman Tommy Edman is day-to-day after tweaking right ankle
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Tommy Edman tweaked his right ankle this week and is day-to-day. It's the same ankle that landed Edman on the injured list a month ago after he hurt it in a game against Miami. Advertisement Edman wasn't in the starting lineup for the second straight day Wednesday against the New York Mets. He entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning Tuesday night. 'The ankle got a little sore,' manager Dave Roberts said. 'We want to make sure that we're doing everything we can so it doesn't get worse.' Roberts said Edman's sore ankle is affecting his lateral movement and it could be a few days before the team makes any decision about a possible move to the injured list. Edman was chosen MVP of the 2024 National League Championship Series, when he had 11 hits and drove in 11 runs as the Dodgers beat the Mets in six games to reach the World Series. ___ AP MLB: The Associated Press

Arsenal superstar confident Xabi Alonso will succeed at Real Madrid – 'He is more than ready' Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino has expressed strong support for Xabi Alonso, who has taken over as the new Real Madrid manager. Speaking from Spain's national team training camp, Merino said Alonso is more than ready for the challenge ahead and called him a role model, both as a player and now as a coach. Advertisement Merino recalled watching Alonso as a young fan, admiring his success with the Spanish national team and the influence he had on an entire generation. 'He was a role model for all of us,' Merino said in an interview with EFE (h/t Mundo Deportivo). 'We saw him win everything with Spain. We grew up admiring players like him, and now to be competing at the same level is still hard to believe.' Alonso ready for Real Madrid pressure Mikel Merino has backed Xabi Alonso. (Photo by) Alonso, who replaces Carlo Ancelotti at the helm of Real Madrid, arrives with a growing reputation after an impressive run with Bayer Leverkusen. Merino is convinced that his former idol has learned from the best and is ready for the intense pressure that comes with managing the Spanish giants. Advertisement 'As a coach, he's a star,' said Merino. 'You can see the influence he's had on every coach in his career. 'He's been a sponge, and the work he's done with Leverkusen has led him to take on the biggest challenge there is in football: being the coach of Real Madrid, with the pressure that entails,' he added. Merino also shared a personal note, remembering meeting Alonso in San Sebastian. 'I think he's more than ready, and I wish him the best. 'We met in San Sebastian, and I have a lot of respect for him. I hope he has a lot of success, as long as he doesn't cross paths with us,' he concluded.

Pep Guardiola sends message to Xabi Alonso ahead of Real Madrid role
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has sent his best wishes to former colleague and now the new Real Madrid manager, Xabi Alonso. Alonso will take over from Carlo Ancelotti – who has been announced as the new Brazil National Team manager – as Real Madrid boss to launch a new era in the Spanish capital after a difficult season for the Galacticos. Advertisement Real Madrid crashed out of the UEFA Champions League at the quarter-final stage after being convincingly beaten by Arsenal in both legs of the tie to a 5-1 aggregate score, underpinning the need for a fresh philosophy on the touchline. Bayer Leverkusen have risen as a force to be reckoned with in Germany after Alonso led the club to Bundesliga glory in the 2023-24 season – a year in which the club went unbeaten on all fronts until their 3-0 UEFA Europa League final loss to Atalanta. Real Madrid have announced the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool on a free transfer and have secured the arrival of the 26-year-old in time for the FIFA Club World Cup with a fee of €10 million paid to the newly-crowned Premier League champions. Advertisement More signings are in the offing for the European heavyweights, who will benefit from a new face on the touchline, with Alonso representing a significant coup for the board amidst interest from some of Europe's best clubs who have been impressed with the Spaniard's work in Germany. Manchester City have faced Real Madrid in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League five times in the last six years so the laws of probability and combinatorics are likely to see these two clubs continue their European rivalry into the coming seasons. Speaking to reporters in Spain whilst in attendance at a charity golf tournament, Mancheser City manager Pep Guardiola was keen to send a message of support and best wishes to the newly-appointed Real Madrid manager. 'He (Alonso) showed at Leverkusen that he's a great coach. He went unbeaten for a year, losing only the Europa League final against Atalanta,' Guardiola said, as relayed by SPORT. Advertisement 'He (Alonso) knows the club (Real Madrid), he's been to Madrid and knows the battles you have to fight. He's excited. I have respect for him and wish him the best.' Having worked with Alonso during his time managing Bayern Munich, Guardiola is no stranger to his compatriot's managerial acumen and expects Alonso to be a huge success at the latter's former club. 'I'm eager to see how he (Alonso) does. I was with him for a year-and-a-half and I have great memories and a good friendship,' Guardiola finished.
