CLEVELAND, OHIO - JULY 22: Kyle Manzardo #9 of the Cleveland Guardians rounds the bases on a solo home run during the eighth inning against the Minnesota Twins at Progressive Field on July 22, 2026 in Cleveland, Ohio. (Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesGuardians fans everywhere are frustated with Kyle Manzardo. Is there hope for things to change for the struggling Guardians first baseman?After posting a 113 wRC+ and hitting 27 home runs in 2025, expectations for Kyle Manzardo were understandably high coming into 2026. So far, Manzo has come up short of those expectations, and hes having a fairly disappointing season with a 90 wRC+ and 11 homers. Today, were asking the question: has Kyle Manzardo been figured out by the league, or is this just a young player going through the ups and downs that come with establishing himself at the MLB level?I think this season is a little more complex than just hes been bad. Its been a hot and cold season for Manzardo thus far.We can see here that after a very slow start, he had a blazing 6-7 week long stretch before cooling off again. So whats changed?We can see from this data that his approach data is generally stable or improving. Chase% spiked a bit during his hot streak, but Whiff% and K% are both moving down, which is good. BB% is up as well, with the most recent two sets of data both being above league average. Even with his slow start, the BB% was basically league average (8.9% in 2026). This is all a good sign. Nothing is skyrocketing or plummeting in any alarming way. So if his approach is still intact, the next question becomes whether he is doing enough damage when he makes contact.One of the first things that stands out is the average exit velocity is pretty stable across the board. The first bucket of games is a bit lower, but not by a significant amount. The outlier here is how the Hard-Hit% and Barrel% have fluctuated so much with relatively stable exit velocity. We can also see his SqUpCon%* is going up, which is generally a good thing. The last number is his LASS%**, and we can see that it has swung pretty wildly as well. Getting fewer balls in the optimal 8-32 launch angle is consistent with a drop in Barrel%. So here it looks like we may have a piece of the puzzle, but launch angles have nothing to do with exit velocity. If we really dig into the weeds and look at the distribution of exit velocities in the three different stretches, we can see that hes actually getting a lot more contact in the 90-94.9 mph range in the first and third bucket of games. Hes gone from 19.6% to 12.2% and then back up to 19.6%. Hard-Hit% measures the percentage of balls that have an exit velocity over 95 mph, and he is just missing that window a bit more now than he was during the hot streak. All these things combine to paint a picture of a hitter thats just lost a touch of their precision. At the MLB level, the difference between driving the ball in the gap for extra bases and hitting a routine flyout can come down to a few millimeters of contact point on the bat and a few milliseconds of timing. Being just a tiny bit off can change everything.Where does this leave us? Overall, the evidence doesnt really point to a hitter thats lost his ability to do damage to a pitch in the box. Its more consistent with a hitter thats just off in their precision, enough to drastically alter outcomes. It also doesnt help that in this most recent stretch, hes running a wOBA and xwOBA difference of -.076. While an xwOBA of .276 is still far below what youd expect, at least some portion of these poor results can be attributed to luck. All those things considered, while theres no guarantee he will snap back into form tomorrow, theres also no reason to think any of this isnt fixable. He just needs to get locked back in and find that tiny extra bit of precision in his swing that he had a solid grip on just a few short weeks ago.Glossary*SqUpCon% (Squared Up Contact %) How much exit velocity did you get as a share of how much exit velocity was possible, based on the swing speed and the speed of the pitch when the player made contact.**LASS% (Launch Angle Sweet Spot %) Percentage of batted balls with a launch angle between 8 and 32 degrees (These numbers are based on the range where most damaging contact resides)

The start of training camp is arriving soon for Matt LaFleur and the Green Bay Packers. Players start reporting on Monday July 27, and the first practice is scheduled for Wednesday, July 29.Ray Nitschke Field -- the setting of Packers training camp -- is the perfect proving ground. Who will arrive back in Green Bay and provide a summer surprise for the Packers ahead of the 2026 season?Here are some players we're most excited to watch during Packers training camp:LT Jordan MorganTraining camp will provide a first-time look at Morgan as the offense's full-time left tackle. The importance of his opportunity cannot be overstated. Morgan, who played almost 2,500 snaps at left tackle in college, will take over a premier position for a team with big aspirations in 2026. If he falters, or struggles to replicate even the inconsistent version of 2025 Rasheed Walker, the Packers offensive line could take another step back. Getting a strong summer from Morgan would be nothing if not reassuring. He's one of many young players expected to take over big roles and thrive for the 2026 Packers, and arguably the most important. -- Zach KruseRB MarShawn LloydLloyd has been hit harder by injuries than any Packers draft pick in recent memory. Ability doesn't appear to be the issue for the 2024 third-round pick, but availability has been, as he's played just 10 offensive snaps in one regular-season appearance. Lloyd has put in extensive work this offseason to try and put the soft-tissue injuries behind him, but theres no way to predict how his body will react when he starts taking hits consistently. One area where Lloyd isn't lacking is potential. The last time he was healthy, he averaged 7.1 yards per carry and 17.8 yards per catch in his final season at USC. With the RB2 job up for grabs, I'm excited to see if Lloyd can stay on the field and if his dynamic skillset can finally flourish in Matt LaFleurs offense.-- Brandon CarwileWR Matthew GoldenThe Packers opened up the door to more playing time for Golden by moving on from Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks. He showed the qualities that made him a first-round pick as a rookie, but did not get enough snaps or targets to put up the kind of production he would've hoped for. Now he has the chance to grasp his opportunity in year two, and with more experience in the offense, he should have more trust from the coaching staff. It could be an exciting summer if Golden shows signs of a breakout season during training camp. -- Mark OldacresCB Brandon CisseThe Packers' top draft pick doesn't have a guaranteed path to playing time as a rookie, but there's no reason why Cisse can't earn snaps right away with a strong performance at training camp. Expect the Packers to give the 21-year-old plenty of opportunities to prove his place by covering Christian Watson, Matthew Golden and Jayden Reed during the 1-on-1 and 11-on-11 sessions of training camp. Can Cisse prove capable of being an instant impact rookie? The Packers could use a lift at corner, and their rookie has an electrifying blend of quickness and competitive playstyle. For the first time since the early Jaire Alexander era, the Packers have a truly exciting player arriving at corner. -- Zach KruseK Trey SmackThe Packers thought they had a long-term answer at kicker in Brandon McManus. But just one year after signing the veteran to a new deal, the Packers are now transitioning to a new era, with Smack -- a sixth-round pick -- the favorite to win the kicking job entering training camp. Expect a rollercoaster ride. Smack had good days and bad days during the offseason workout program, and rookie specialists are generally inconsistent early on. Just two summers after tracking the day to day kicking numbers of Anders Carlson and Greg Joseph, Packers fans will once again be tallying the daily makes and misses of a young kicker competing for the important point-scoring job. Hang on tight. The "excitement" of monitoring Smack's summer will be tinged with nervous anticipation. -- Zach KruseC Sean RhyanThe Packers will have a new center at training camp for the third time in three years. Next in line is Rhyan, who played tackle in college, transitioned into a starting role at guard to begin his NFL career and is now taking over at center to start 2026. He looked increasingly capable at the position after taking over for an injured Elgton Jenkins midway through last season, and the Packers rewarded him with a new three-year deal. Can Rhyan hit the ground running at the pivot point of the offensive line? Getting more and more comfortable with everything required of the position -- making pre-snap checks, snapping the football and the different blocking angles post-snap -- will be a priority this summer. The Packers need Rhyan to help power improvement along the offensive line. Any stumbles during training camp, and an intriguing rookie -- fifth-rounder Jager Burton -- could come job hunting. -- Zach KruseTE Luke MusgraveThe Packers will likely ease Tucker Kraft (ACL) back into action during training camp. That expected reality aligns nicely for Musgrave, who is entering an important fourth (and possibly final?) season in Green Bay. Since losing the starting job to Kraft, Musgrave has been mostly a non-factor, and he failed to seize the opportunity afforded by Kraft's injury to end 2025. Can the 2023 second-round pick finally make the leap? The Packers offense could be menacingly diverse if Musgrave finally emerges as a consistent weapon. Sometimes tight ends just need more time to get established at the pro level, but hourglass is running out on Musgrave. He must impress this summer or risk becoming an afterthought. -- Zach KruseWR J. Michael SturdivantAn annual summer tradition: a young wide receiver making waves at training camp. Sturdivant is a prime candidate to be the standout receiver at Packers training camp. Many believed Sturdivant would be drafted, but he instead became a priority undrafted free agent signing in Green Bay. His combination of size (6-3, 207), speed (4.4) and ability to spread the field vertically, make tough catches on in-breakers and compete for contested balls give him a real chance to make a run at a 53-man roster spot. Sturdivant could end up being a favorite target of Tyrod Taylor, Kyle McCord and Kyron Drones this summer. -- Zach KruseEdge rusher Barryn SorrellWho is going to make the second-year leap among the 2025 draftees? Matthew Golden and Anthony Belton are obvious candidates, but don't forget about Sorrell, who showed flashes as a rookie and will now enter his second training camp with a big opportunity awaiting at edge rusher. Gone are Rashan Gary and Kingsley Enagbare, and Micah Parsons will be out throughout training camp. The pathway is cleared for Sorrell to be an important contributor right away in 2026. Training camp will tell us if the former Texas Longhorn is ready to take advantage. -- Zach KruseQB Jordan LoveAny list of "excited to watch" players would be incomplete without the team's most important player. Love is entering his seventh NFL season and fourth season as the Packers starting quarterback. He's in the prime of his career. He returns the playcaller he's had his entire career, and he has a talented stable of pass-catching targets. Is this the season it all comes together? Love was just entering the MVP discussion when the Packers season fell apart last December. Recovering from that tailspin -- and thriving while Micah Parsons is out early in the season -- will require the team's most important players to be at their best in 2026. By any efficiency metric, Love was among the NFL's 10 best quarterbacks last season. Now it's time for him to prove he truly belongs in that tier with a full season of excellent play. As is the case every year, the foundation is built during training camp. Will Wednesday, July 29 be the start of something special for the Packers franchise quarterback? -- Zach KruseThis article originally appeared on Packers Wire: 10 players we're most excited to watch at Packers 2026 training camp

ARLINGTON, TEXAS - JUNE 30: Yan Diomande of Cote D'Ivoire during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round Of 32 match between Cote D'Ivoire and Norway at Dallas Stadium on June 30, 2026 in Arlington, Texas. (Photo by Robbie Jay Barratt - AMA/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesReal Madrid are moving quickly to complete the signing of Yan Diomand.According to multiple reports, Los Blancos have already reached an agreement with the player and are now finalizing a deal with RB Leipzig. There is growing optimism that the transfer could be completed in the coming days.The reports claim Madrids opening offer of 90 million plus 10 million in add-ons was rejected, but negotiations remain active and the club is pushing hard to get the deal over the line.Manchester City and Arsenal are both said to have made approaches for Diomand over the last 10 days, but the winger has reportedly made it clear that his priority is Real Madrid.The move aligns with Jos Mourinhos desire to add more pace, dynamism and one-on-one ability to his attack, with Diomand expected to operate primarily from the right wing.Should the deal be completed, questions will inevitably arise over the futures of Endrick, Franco Mastantuono and Brahim Daz, all of whom are competing for attacking minutes.The timing is also notable. Reports earlier today linked Arsenal with a potential move for Vincius Jr. should contract talks stall. While there is no indication the two situations are directly connected, Diomands arrival would further strengthen Madrids attacking depth and could influence how the club plans its long-term frontline.If completed, the signing would represent another aggressive move in the marketsimilar to the swift pursuit of Marc Cucurella earlier this summeras Real Madrid continue to reshape Mourinhos squad.

Photo by Dylan Buell/Getty ImagesBig things were expected of Robert MacIntyre this season.The Scot put himself in contention at the US Open, only to be beaten by JJ Spaun at Oakmont, then played an integral part in Team Europes road Ryder Cup victory at Bethpage Black.But despite being in the mix on Sunday at The Players at the start of the year, its been a disappointing season overall. He landed in hot water at The Masters for showing a middle finger to Augusta National on his way to missing the cut, and received a code of conduct warning for slamming his club into a tee box at The Open.MacIntyre has had some good results, including a T3 at his home Scottish Open and a T2 at the Valero, but between his attitude on the course and his performances, its safe to say his stock has gone down.In a recent social media statement, MacIntyre revealed he made a big change this year which completely backfired on him.Photo by Warren Little/Getty ImagesThe change that Robert MacIntyre made which backfired We wont see MacIntyre again until the FedEx Cup playoffs begin in a few weeks, but in the meantime, he posted a statement to social media to break down the state of his game.He said he tried to improve his approach play during the season, but this move ended up making his game worse.MacIntyre posted to X: Despite some frustrating results statistically my game has been better than last year, CRAZY GAME.Since the Texas Open I havent had my best stuff. Went searching for things through equipment and neglected the basic fundamentals of my golf swing. As a golfer youre always trying to improve and thought I could make a massive improvement with approach play and it kind of backfired.So since the US Open we have tweaked my irons with Titleist and results have been far better. Had a chance at the Scottish Open again which was a great feeling and had a good start at The Open but never got anything going over the weekend.Off the course, life has changed for the better but definitely taken some getting used to for sure. Time at home now before the FedEx playoffs.MacIntyre had a baby this year, so hes taking some well-earned rest to spend some time with his son. Hopefully this recharge is what he needs to go on a run of good performances in the playoffs.Robert MacIntyres 2026 compared to last season MacIntyre said that statistically this season has been better than last, and in some ways hes right.His putting has been much better. Hes gained 0.63 strokes to the field with his putting, which is up 0.3 from last year. Hes also gained 0.25 strokes to the field off the tee, making strides with his driver.But as MacIntyre mentioned, his iron play has fallen off a cliff. In 2025 he gained over 0.3 strokes on approach, but its the one area of his game where hes losing strokes to the field in 2026. Thats the glaring hole in his game, which hes corrected in recent weeks.MacIntyre gained 2.5 strokes on approach at the Scottish Open, and while he lost his approach play at The Open the following week, that was a promising sign. Thats the type of form he needs to take into the playoffs as he goes for his first win of the season.READ MORE: Tyrrell Hattons response when asked how the crowds at LIV Golf UK have impacted his golf
