Again..... Really?
Since joining the big leagues in 2015 with the Houston Astros, Lance McCullers Jr. has been known by Astros fans for a few things, one of them being that is getting hurt, and he is living up to his name yet again. This morning, the Astros announced that they are placing McCullers on the 15-day IL for a right finger blister, making him the 17th Astros player on the IL and the seventh starting pitcher. The team called up Nick Hernandez from Triple-A to take his roster spot. He joins Spencer Arrighetti, Ronel Blanco, J.P. France, Luis Garcia, Cristian Javier and Hayden Wesneski on the IL of the most injury-ridden rotation in baseball. Since his debut over 10 years ago, McCullers has had more than 20 starts four times in his career, hitting the 25 mark twice. He has also spent three seasons on the sidelines dealing with multiple different surgeries, including Tommy John. McCullers started the 2025 season on the IL with a right foot strain, having not pitched since the 2022 World Series, and made his first start for the Astros on May 4th. He is coming off an outing just a few days ago on July 19th where he went 2.2 innings in the Astros 7-6 loss to the Mariners, allowing four runs on five hits, moving his season ERA up to 6.90 in 11 starts. With McCullers down again, that leaves just Hunter Brown and Framber Valdez to lead the rotation as the only non-rookies. Behind them, the team will have to continue to rely on guys like Ryan Gusto, Colton Gordon and Brandon Walters. More from Verlander Regression? Astros Trending: Week in Review, June 28-July4.

The Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF, Vaneck Ethereum ETF, Invesco Galaxy Ethereum ETF, Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF and iShares Ethereum Trust ETF
For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – July 22, 2025 – announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF CETH, Vaneck Ethereum ETF ETHV, Invesco Galaxy Ethereum ETF QETH, Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF ETHE and iShares Ethereum Trust ETF ETHA. Here are highlights from Monday's Analyst Blog: Ethereum ETFs Surging Rapidly: What Lies Ahead Ethereum (ETH) is skyrocketing, gaining more than 20% last week and currently aiming for the $4,000 mark. Ether closed the week on a high note, as President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law. Despite tariff-related market headwinds, Ether surged 18% last week, pushing its two-week gain to about 43% — marking its best two-week performance since August 2021. Note that House lawmakers also passed a second, much broader crypto market structure bill, the CLARITY Act, that will now go to the July 17, 2025 BlackRock also filed with the SEC to include staking to its ETHA ether exchange-traded fund (ETF), which also boosted the sentiment for crypto's second-largest coin. 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF, Vaneck Ethereum ETF, Invesco Galaxy Ethereum ETF, Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF and iShares Ethereum Trust ETF gained about 16% each last week. Ethereum Price Levels ETH broke above the psychological level of $3,000 last week. It is trading around $3,760 at the time of writing. If this level is breached, Ethereum could push higher to test the key $4,000 threshold. The daily RSI reading of 85 signals overbought conditions but also indicates strong bullish momentum. Similarly, the MACD's bullish crossover from early July remains intact, backed by a rising histogram, per a article. If ETH experiences a pullback, traders are watching $3,000 as the key support level. Ethereum Remains a Key Crypto Investment Ethereum continues to dominate as the leading DeFi platform, with bullish price predictions fueled by growing interest in staking, tokenization, and institutional adoption. Analysts suggest ETH could surge to $8,000 by Q4 2025 or Q1 2026 if momentum continues, making it a strong contender for investors seeking stability and long-term growth. Ethereum Poised for Long-Term Growth Ethereum's long-term outlook remains strongly bullish, thanks to solid fundamentals and increasing institutional involvement. On July 16, spot Ethereum ETFs recorded massive inflows totaling $717 million — with BlackRock's ETHA alone accounting for $489 million — while futures trading volume jumped 27%, according to Glassnode, per a blog. Can Ethereum Cross $5000 in 2026? Corporate interest is also on the rise, as evidenced by World Liberty Financial — linked to Donald Trump — investing $5 million in ETH. Additionally, Deribit's $300,000 trading competition (running from July 17 to 31) is expected to further stimulate activity in the derivatives market. If ETF demand continues to build, analysts predict that Ethereum could reclaim the $4,000-$4,800 range by the end of 2025, with a potential move past $5,500 in early 2026.

Tesla and Alphabet are part of Zacks Earnings Preview
For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – July 22, 2025 – releases the list of companies likely to issue earnings surprises. This week's list includes Tesla TSLA and Alphabet GOOGL. Early Q2 Results Indicate Improving Earnings Outlook We get into the heart of the Q2 earnings season this week, with more than 400 companies on deck to report results, including 109 S&P 500 members. The reporting docket expands beyond the Finance core, which has dominated the results thus far, with a representative cross-section of all sectors reporting results this week, including Tesla and Alphabet in the Mag 7 group. We are off to a very good start in the Q2 earnings season. It isn't simply companies beating estimates that were too low to begin with, a reflection of analysts sharply cutting estimates in the wake of the 'Liberation Day' tariff announcement. There is also favorable management commentary about current business trends that should help firm up earnings expectations for Q3 and beyond. It is admittedly early in the reporting cycle, with Q2 results from only about 12% of S&P 500 members out, and the sample of results is over-indexed to the Finance sector. But we remain confident that the trends established at this early stage will be validated by the one-fifth of S&P 500 members reporting results this week and through the remainder of the Q2 reporting cycle. Through Monday morning (July 21 st), we have seen Q2 results from 62 S&P 500 members, or 12.4% of the index's total membership. Total earnings for these companies are up +9.3% from the same period last year on +5.8% higher revenues, with 82.3% beating EPS estimates and an equal proportion beating revenue estimates. The EPS and revenue beats percentages are tracking notably above the historical averages for this group of 62 index members. By the end of this week, we will have seen Q2 results from more than a third of the index's total membership. Alphabet will report June-quarter results after the market's close on Wednesday (July 23 rd), with the company expected to report $2.14 per share in earnings on $79.3 billion in revenues, representing year-over-year changes of +13.2% and +11.1%, respectively. Alphabet shares have struggled this year, with the stock down -2% this year vs. a +7.3% gain for the S&P 500 index and a +9.9% gain for the Zacks Tech sector. Alphabet's search dominance has been a perennial antitrust target, so those worries aren't necessarily new. However, the concern among market participants is the company's ability to secure its lucrative search franchise in the coming AI-dominated world. Search is undoubtedly a significant contributor to earnings, but we suspect that investors' concerns about the search business may be causing them to overlook gems like YouTube and Waymo, which are integral to the Alphabet story. Then there is cloud, where Alphabet remains a leader along with Amazon and Microsoft. This note focuses on the evolving aggregate earnings trends, but we can't help but flag Alphabet's discounted valuation. Tesla is also reporting the same day as Alphabet (July 23 rd), with the company expected to come out with $0.40 per share in earnings on $22.5 billion in revenues, representing year-over-year changes of -23.1% and -11.9%, respectively. Tesla shares are down -18.4% this year, lagging the broader market's +7.3% gain. In addition to operational challenges in the EV market that have been weighing on Tesla's margins and deliveries lately, Tesla shares are also influenced by the market's collective view of Elon Musk. Expectations for Q2 & Beyond Looking at Q2 as a whole, combining the actual results that have come out with estimates for the still-to-come companies, total S&P 500 earnings are expected to be up +6% on +4.3% higher revenues. For the Mag 7, whose members start reporting results this week, total Q2 earnings are expected to be up +11.7% on +11.3% higher revenues. 2025 Q3 earnings for the S&P 500 index are currently expected to be up +4.5% from the same period last year on +4.5% higher revenues. Unlike what we had witnessed for Q2 during the first three weeks of the quarter, we are starting to see estimates modestly go up. In terms of S&P 500 index 'EPS', these growth rates approximate to $254.42 for 2025 and $287.60 for 2026.

Athletics to place Denzel Clarke on IL indefinitely with right adductor strain
Athletics to place Denzel Clarke on IL indefinitely with right adductor strain originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area Athletics rookie outfielder Denzel Clarke is headed to the IL for the foreseeable future with a Grade 2 right adductor strain, manager Mark Kotsay told reporters Monday before the Green and Gold's game against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field in Arlington. Clarke, who broke his own record with a fourth consecutive Electric Play of the Week nod on June 23, tightened up while scoring on a Nick Kurtz RBI double in the eighth inning of the A's 8-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday at Progressive Field. 'He had an MRI done here [in Arlington] today,' Kotsay said. 'He's got a Grade 2 [strain]. I'm going to spell it A-D-D — adductor — strain. You know, really unfortunate timing for Denzel. I think his confidence offensively was continuing to build; the at-bats were just getting better and better. This timing is very … crappy, I guess. 'It's going to be a couple of weeks, probably. I hate to give a timeline from that standpoint. He's on his way back to start his rehab. … We'll announce a move tomorrow [Tuesday]. Obviously, with where we're at in the situation, we won't be able to get anybody here.' Clarke, a defensive highlight reel with a plus-12 outs above average, was finding his groove offensively before his injury. He was hitting .333 over his last 12 games with 14 hits and six doubles after holding a .189 average through his first 35 outings. 'Loved the aggression I was seeing with him swinging more,' Kotsay said. 'Again, the more at-bats we can get this kid, the quicker the development process was going to happen. 'Had this injury not taken place and he had finished the season, I was confident we could've gotten him close to 300 at-bats. And that would've been great to begin next year with. [We're] just hoping he could get back with us at some point this year and finish out the season.' Kotsay said that the A's 'probably' will rotate players throughout center field and reiterated that Clarke's offensive promise and defensive prowess will be missed for the time being.

Astros star third baseman suffers 'significant' hamstring injury
The Houston Astros may be leading the American League West, but with the number of players that have landed themselves on the injured list this year, they could easily field an All-Star lineup. And now, unfortunately, another star player will be joining that list for the two-time champions, as third baseman Isaac Paredes, the team's home run leader, has been announced to have suffered a 'significant' hamstring injury Saturday evening against the Seattle Mariners. The All-Star corner infielder suffered the injury in the second inning running to first while legging out a long single, eventually pulling up and clutching his right leg. Paredes is likely headed to the injured list, where he will become the 16th player on the team to spend time on the IL, making the Astros the league leaders in players on the injured list. Through 93 games, Paredes is batting .258 with 19 home runs and 50 runs batted in, and was named a starter in the All-Star Game after Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez pulled out of the game, only for Paredes himself to pull out due to a personal matter.
