WWE parted ways with main roster and NXT superstars on Friday

Cincinnati Troy Melton and Beau Brieske, two right-handed pitchers the Tigers are counting on to make an impact at some point this season are back to square one meaning, after missing time with injuries, they are ready to restart spring training.They both threw bullpens, manager AJ Hinch said. Melton threw a live session (to hitters) and was hitting mid-90s with his fastball. What that means, basically, is now we have to recreate spring training for both of them.Both are doing their work in Lakeland. Melton missed all of spring with right elbow inflammation. Brieske made a couple of outings in the spring before being shut down with a left adductor strain.All-Star utility man Zach McKinstry (hip and abdominal inflammation), also in Lakeland, has accelerated his baseball activity.I got a greatvideo of him hitting and running yesterday with little if any restriction, Hinch said. Thats a good start.Hinch said McKinstry, who could come off the injured list as early as Monday, will stay in Lakeland until hes cleared for competition. Its likely he will get a rehab start or two with Triple-A Toledo.Justin Verlander (hip) is with the Tigers on this trip. He is throwing another bullpen Saturday and will likely throw another while the team is in Atlanta.chris.mccosky@detroitnews.com@cmccoskyThis article originally appeared on The Detroit News: Tigers' Troy Melton, Beau Brieske ready to start second spring training

For years, a cloud of conspiracy has hung over the United States men's national team: Does Major League Soccer dictate who makes the roster? In a revealing roundtable discussion, former U.S. managers Bob Bradley, Jrgen Klinsmann, and Steve Sampson sat down with FOX Sports' Stu Holden ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The dynamic between how coaches select European-based stars versus MLS-based talent has always been a lightning rod for the USA fan base. Holden put the "conspiracists" front and center, asking if the coaches ever received calls from MLS commissioner Don Garber demanding a specific number of MLS players on a squad. "Im going to be the guy right now," Bradley said, looking directly at his counterparts. "Did anyone ever tell you who to play?" The answers were immediate and unanimous. "Never," Sampson said. "No, never," Klinsmann echoed. "Me neither," Bradley added. While he acknowledged there were conversations with MLS officials in New York about player progress, he insisted the responsibility of filling out the roster remained with the coach. However, the "European" call-ups remain a complex challenge. Klinsmann recalled the era when stars like Michael Bradley, Jozy Altidore, and Clint Dempsey left top-flight European clubs to return to MLS for "life-changing" money. "Inside, as a coach, it hurts you a little bit," Klinsmann admitted, noting the difficulty of seeing players leave the Champions League level. "But the risk was taken by MLS. They took the risk and said, 'We want our best players back.'" Sampson, who coached USA during the leagues launch in 1996, noted that while coaches want players at the highest level, the domestic leagues growth was a necessary sacrifice. "If we hadnt started in 96, we wouldnt be where we are today," Sampson said. "A league that is lightyears ahead." Ultimately, Bradley noted, the "best league" doesn't always equal the "best fit." In the high-stakes build-up to a World Cup, the coaches all agreed. The selection process remains a complicated area that Mauricio Pochettino will have to navigate, but if former coaches are correct, he will have full control of his roster this summer at the World Cup. ___ How To Watch The 2026 FIFA World Cup The World Cup will run from June 11 to July 19, 2026. Spread across three countries, the tournament will culminate with the final on July 19 at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. All 104 tournament matches will air live across FOX (70) and FS1 (34) with every match streaming live and on-demand within both the FOX One and the FOX Sports apps. A record 40 matches, more than one-third of the tournament, will air in prime time across FOX (21) and FS1 (19).
