Derek McInnes has made up his mind who will be the successor to the departed James Tavernier as Rangers captain - but the manager has yet to tell anyone.Lawrence Shankland, who was McInnes' choice at Hearts, plus fellow new signings Ross McCrorie, Dan Neil and Ben Godfrey had all tried the armband on for size during pre-season before Dujon Sterling became the latest candidate in Sunday's goalless draw with West Ham United.But who will have the honour when Rangers travel to Tannadice for Friday's season opener away to Dundee United?"A lot of people get obsessed with who's the captain - I understand that," McInnes said. "But I do think I'm fortunate in that I've got a few that I can consider for that position."Sometimes you can sit in a dressing room, look around and you go, 'Christ, who's going to lead them out?'"I don't feel that here. I feel as though there's a number that could do it. But obviously somebody's got to take the lads down the tunnel and somebody's going to have that responsibility."I feel as though I've made my mind up about that, but I just wanted to see how everybody was with the armband really and just have a look from afar at how they are. But I see more of that kind of quality day in, day out."Is my mind made up? Yeah, I'm still talking to the staff because it's not been at the forefront of my thoughts, to be honest."I understand the question and it is a big thing - particularly at this club."But it hasn't been at the forefront of any discussions, but obviously we'll make a decision on that this week."

INDIANAPOLIS Todd Gilliland has won $1 million in NASCAR's In-Season Challenge after finishing higher than Ryan Blaney in the Brickyard 400. Gilliland finished 24th, Blaney finished 26th.Blaney qualified 23 spots higher than Gilliland and was comfortably ahead of him for most of the race, but contact with John Hunter Nemechek on a Lap 120 restart spun Blaney into the wall between Turns 3 and 4. After the crash, Blaney's No. 12 Team Penske Ford suffered splitter damage that required a lengthy pit stop for repair. Blaney rejoined the field in 31st, which was second-last of cars running at the time.Major In-Season Challenge implications!@Blaney and @JHNemechek make contact, and the No. 12 goes around! pic.twitter.com/IL5ayxZod4 NASCAR (@NASCAR) July 26, 2026"What a dumb (expletive) that 42 (Nemechek) is," Blaney said on his radio. "Every week."Gilliland has captured the second In-Season Challenge championship in what was truly an underdog run. He entered the tournament 25th of the 32 drivers who qualified for the In-Season Challenge. He then finished higher than Daniel Suarez (No. 8 seed), Carson Hocevar (No. 9), Alex Bowman (No. 32) and Chase Elliott (No. 4) to make it to the final round at the Brickyard 400. Gilliland beat out Blaney, who was the No. 3 seed and won at Atlanta Motor Speedway in the quarterfinal round, for the championship.Gilliland never finished better than eighth en route to the championship, but he and Front Row Motorsports have secured the $1 million prize.

Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski has already overpowered hitters all season with the kind of velocity that shouldn't even be possible from a starter. On Sunday, he somehow managed to take that to another level. In the Milwaukee's game against the Rockies, Misiorowski put together the kind of performance that Brewers fans will be bringing up for years to come. Misiorowski retired the first 14 batters he faced, and 12 were via strikeouts. He struck out the first seven batters of the game. Through four innings, he had 11 strikeouts. It was unreal.And as if that wasn't enough, his velocity numbers looked like something out of a video game. Misiorowski threw 66 fastballs on Sunday. All 66 of them were in the triple digits, and 33 pitches hit at least 103 mph. He has an actual rocket for an arm. 103.4 MPH Fastball103.2 MPH Fastball104.3 MPH Fastball91.3 MPH Curveball104.5 MPH Fastball104.1 MPH Fastball103 MPH FastballJacob Misiorowski struck out the first 7 batters with pure heat pic.twitter.com/5neQFMra9M MLB (@MLB) July 26, 202612 up, 12 down, 11 KsJacob Misiorowski has ELEVEN strikeouts through four innings pic.twitter.com/XuS8xHYl1b MLB (@MLB) July 26, 2026The lone hit that he allowed was a solo home run to Cole Carrigg in the fifth inning.

NEW YORK (AP) Tyrone Taylor put the Mets ahead with a three-run homer in the sixth inning, Marcus Semien added a three-run drive in the seventh and New York beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-3 on Sunday to prevent a season sweep.With the Dodgers leading 3-1, reliever Jack Dreyer walked rookie Carson Benge and pinch-hitter Luis Robert Jr. in the sixth. Taylor gave the Mets a 4-3 lead by hitting a 1-1 sinker from Evan Phillips (0-2) into the left-field seats. It was Taylor's fifth homer in 18 games since returning from the injured list on June 28. Eligible for free agency after this season, the backup outfielder appears likely to get traded before the Aug. 3. deadline.Freddy Peralta allowed three runs two earned and six hits over four innings in what could end up being his final start for New York. Peralta also can become a free agent following the World Series and is expected to get moved sometime within the next eight days as part of a significant selloff by the last-place Mets (44-62).___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski set a franchise record by striking out the first seven Colorado Rockies on Sunday. Misiorowski also broke his own record for the most 100-mph pitches in a single game since pitch tracking began in 2008. The two-time All-Star reached 100 mph on 66 of his 83 pitches and hit a top velocity of 104.7. He had thrown 58 pitches of at least 100 mph during a 15-strikeout performance against the Philadelphia Phillies on June 12. Misiorowski struck out 12 of Colorado's first 13 batters. The two-time All-Star retired the first 14 batters before Cole Carrigg homered with two outs in the fifth. The Brewers record for consecutive strikeouts to start a game had been set last year by Quinn Priester, who had six in a row to begin a 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sept. 18. The major league record for consecutive strikeouts to start a game is owned by Pablo Lpez, who fanned the first nine Atlanta batters he faced in the Miami Marlins 7-4 triumph over the Braves on July 11, 2021. Misiorowski was three shy of the Brewers and MLB record for consecutive strikeouts at any point within a single game. Corbin Burnes struck out 10 straight batters in the Brewers 10-0 shutout of the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 11, 2021. The New York Mets Tom Seaver struck out 10 straight San Diego Padres on April 22, 1970, and Philadelphias Aaron Nola had 10 consecutive strikeouts against the Mets on June 25, 2021. Misiorowski capped the first inning by getting Hunter Goodman to swing and miss at a 104.3-mph fastball after also striking out Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak. TJ Rumfield, Kyle Karros and Carrigg struck out in the second. Willi Castro also struck out to lead off the third before Troy Johnston ended the streak by flying out to center fielder Luis Lara. Misiorowski then struck out the next five batters he faced. Edouard Julien went down swinging to end the third before McCarthy, Moniak and Goodman all struck out again in the fourth. Rumfield's second strikeout led off the fifth, then Karros lined to fifth before Carrigg homered on a 2-2 pitch. Carriggs 361-foot, opposite-field shot to left came on a 101.9-mph fastball. According to MLB.com, it was 12th-fastest pitch to result in a homer since the start of pitch tracking. No Rockies player had ever homered on a pitch that fast during the pitch tracking era. Misiorowski already has pitched 120 innings this season. He worked 141 1/3 innings last year, including his regular-season totals in the majors and minors plus his 12 postseason innings during Milwaukees run to the NL Championship Series. He was coming off a four-inning appearance in an 8-3 victory over the New York Mets on Monday. His ERA for the season actually rose slightly to 1.58 as he increased his strikeout total to 185 on Sunday. Misiorowski leads the majors in both categories.
