PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - JULY 26: Trea Turner #7 of the Philadelphia Phillies celebrates with Bryce Harper #3 and Brandon Marsh #16 after scoring a run in the bottom of the first inning against the New York Yankees at Citizens Bank Park on July 26, 2026 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesIt was always going to be a difficult task to complete the sweep facing the Phillies ace Cristopher Snchez. However, it doesnt matter who the opposing pitcher is when your own starter coughs up six runs in the first three innings. Will Warren was positively wretched from the start, and the half-dozen runs on his card means he has now given up 31 runs (27 earned) in his last 37.2 innings since the start of June. Its the type of start that will send the team on the plane to Chicago with a bit of a sour taste despite having won the series in Philly, as they get rolled in the series finale, 11-4. The slug was noticeably absent from the Phillies lineup in the first two games, but facing Will Warren brought it back starting with the first batter they sent to the plate. Trea Turner led off the bottom of the first with a triple that was aided by a Trent Grisham misread in center and scored the games opening run on a Kyle Schwarber sac fly. Already, it began to feel uneasy given the way both teams have struggled to score this series and the way Cristopher Snchez was throwing the ball all season and especially through the opening innings tonight.The damage continued in the second, Bryson Stott crushing a one out, center-cut 1-0 fastball on a line into the seats in right for a solo shot to make it 2-0, Phillies. It always felt like Warren was on the edge of disaster, and indeed his start imploded fully in the third. He walked Schwarber with two outs and then gave up a double to Bryce Harper to put runners on second and third. The Yankees opted to intentionally walk Brandon Marsh to load the bases and bring the struggling Alec Bohm to the plate. Warren got to 1-2 without much trouble, but then threw a pair of non-competitive pitches to force him back into the zone in a full count, and Bohm crushed a hanging sweeper to the wall in left-center to clear the bases, Stott then driving him home with a single to make it 6-0.Much of Warrens success early in the season came from the unique look of his up-shoot fastball thrown from a low arm slot combined with his conviction to throw the heater in the zone frequently and in any count. However, once the league read the book on his heater and figured out its deceptive movement, it became a mediocre offering at just 93 mph, one that he throws way too much for its below average raw characteristics and imprecise command. Five of the six hits as well as the sac fly came against either the four-seamer or sinker, yet Warren threw the pair of subpar pitches a combined 63 percent of the time. He departed after giving up a leadoff single in the fourth, his final line standing at six runs on six hits and two walks in three-plus innings.To their credit, the offense did not throw in the towel despite Warrens stinker and Snchezs early dominance. They loaded the bases in the fourth as Amed Rosario reached on a fielding error by Trea Turner, Anthony Volpe doubled, and Max Schuemann fought back from 1-2 to draw a two-out walk, only for Jos Caballero to bounce a chopper to strand all three ducks on the pond. This was enough to crack the seal on Snchez as he faced the order for the third time in the fifth. Ali Snchez led off with a single, Paul Goldschmidt drew a walk, and Ben Rice hit a into a soft forceout to put runners on the corners. A Snchez throwing error on a pickoff attempt scored Snchez and advanced Rice to second, followed by a Rosario single that moved Rice up a base, Rosario advancing to second on the throw from the outfield. Jasson Domnguez grounded out weakly enough to bring Rice home, and Volpe roped a double to left to bring him home. Volpe had gone without an extra-base hit since June 26th, so it was nice to see him collect a pair of doubles in consecutive innings. A wild pitch allowed Volpe to advance to within 90 feet of scoring, but he was stranded at third by a Grisham grounder. View LinkIn the sixth, it was time for the Yankees defense to let them down. Bryan De La Cruz led off with a routine grounder to Volpe, but he rushed the throw and yanked it 15 feet wide of first allowing De La Cruz to advance to second. Justin Crawford laid a bunt down the third base line and Rosario spiked his throw to first into the dirt, and instead of two outs and no one on it was runners on the corners with no outs. A Turner single to left plated De La Cruz as the Phillies seventh run and a Schwarber single to center loaded the bases. Ryan Yarbrough struck out Harper and Marsh, but plunked Bohm to force home another run. That set up the death blow from Stott as he lined his teams second bases-clearing double into the corner in right to push the Phillies into double digits, 11-3. You have to look for the silver linings after that outburst put the final nail in the Yankees coffin. You can find one in the seventh, Rice perhaps putting a halt to his 1-for-20 skid with his 31st home run of the year, a solo shot into the bullpen in right-center off old friend Tim Mayza. He would also add a double in the ninth. View LinkThe offense managed to double their run output in the series by matching the four they scored in the first two games, but there was never a real chance to overcome the deficit created by Warren and deepened by Yarbrough. 11-4 is your final score, the Yankees falling to three games back of the Rays after Tampa completed the sweep of Cleveland. The Yankees fly to Chicago for seven straight games four against the White Sox followed by three at the Cubs.

Will the Washington Commanders sign a wide receiver before training camp begins this week? If not this week, what about before Week 1 in September? Well, we do know it will not be Brandon Aiyuk. He remains under contract with the San Francisco 49ers. ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler provided the latest update on Diggs on Sunday. "So, I'm told that at least five teams that need a receiver have been checking in on his market and see how things are going as he works out on his own," Fowler said. "I'm told Diggs is highly motivated here because he's not rehabbing an ACL like he was last year. He only played about 55% of the snaps for New England and still got 1,000 yards. He feels like he can be a really good No. 2 receiver for a top quarterback."That sure sounds like the Commanders and Jayden Daniels. Right?"Now, Washington is intriguing to him because Jayden Daniels, young quarterback, he's from that DMV area. The rumors around the league are that Washington could add a receiver at some point to go with Terry McLaurin."When should we expect a move with Diggs, whether it's with the Commanders or elsewhere?The latest on Stefon Diggs & the #Commanders, via @JFowlerESPN: Feels like he could be a good WR2 for a top QB Washington is intriguing to him because of Jayden Daniels & being from DMV Rumors around league are that Washington could add a WR alongside Terry McLaurin. pic.twitter.com/JyMG2IaMeR brandon (@JayDanielsMVP) July 26, 2026"These guys don't always want to go to training camp in the 90-degree heat; they can wait a week or two before they sign."There's a good chance that Washington GM Adam Peters wants to see what he has from the players already in camp. Players like Treylon Burks, Antonio Williams, Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane, Dyami Brown and Van Jefferson are all vying to be the Commanders' No. 2 receiver this season. If Peters feels confident in this group, he could opt against adding an outside veteran. This article originally appeared on Commanders Wire: What's the latest on the Commanders and Stefon Diggs?

The Chargers are set to enter the 2026 season soon after doing nothing but bolster their roster and their coaching staff. While Jim Harbaugh is still at the helm, the Bolts have two new coordinators for their offense and defense.On the offensive side, Mike McDaniel will be the shot caller, and there are massive expectations for that side of the ball.On defense, followingthe departure ofJesse Minter, the Chargers handed the reins to Chris O'Leary.O'Leary now takes over as the team's defensive coordinator and inherits a talented group with the potential to develop into one of the NFL's top defenses.While the defense has talent,they havea few question marks, includingtheircornerback room.Daniel Popper of The Athleticlisted five of his biggest storylinesandone of them was the cornerback room. Popper wonders how O'Leary will handle that roomconsidering Minter rotated the cornerbacks last season."OLeary was asked about rotations at cornerback multiple times during the offseason and was noncommittal. OLeary said he has done it both ways and sees benefits to both approaches. So we will have to wait for training camp to figure out which way OLeary is actually leaning."Last season, Minter rotated regularly between Donte Jackson,Tarheeb Still,Cam HartandBenjamin St-Juste.St-Juste is no longer a Charger, but is plenty to be excited about second-year players Nikko Reed and Eric Rogers.While it's still unclear how O'Leary will handle that room, training camp will give us a more clear answer to that question.Prior tothe summer break, O'Leary said he loves where the room stands at the moment."Really good," O'Learysaid. "It's one of those where you come in with a mindset or thought of, 'This is what the room looks like, this is who you got.' Then you put in the work and get to thispointit's like holy cow."I think it's a healthy competition I have high hopes for that room."The Chargers may not have the star power in that room compared to some of their other position rooms, but they should have continuity and chemistry on their side.This article originally appeared on Chargers Wire: Chargers' Chris O'Leary faces key decision at cornerback position

Photo by Allen Berezovsky/Getty ImagesLeBron James will not have a no-trade clause in his two-year, $8 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers.James has enjoyed having a no-trade clause in his most recent Los Angeles Lakers contract, as well as in his past stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers.It seems like a no-brainer to offer James an NTC since he signed the veterans minimum to join the 76ers, but it turns out that there wasnt a way to include that in this deal.Why cant LeBron James have a no-trade clause with the Philadelphia 76ers?ESPNs Bobby Marks shared the rules regarding the eligibility for a no-trade clause in the NBA, under which James wasnt eligible, as the league requires a player to spend four seasons with a franchise before earning a no-trade clause.Unlike his prior stops in Cleveland and LA Lakers, LeBron James was not allowed to include a No Trade Clause in his contract with Philadelphia. NTC rule: 8 years in the NBA and 4 years with the signing team.James also didnt get an NTC on the Lakers until the second half of his contract, as he wasnt eligible for one until after the 2021-22 season.Photo by Emilee Chinn/Getty ImagesWhile he cant protect himself unilaterally by exercising a veto over any trade hes involved in next season, he does have a 15% trade kicker, which he will be entitled to if he is traded.Even if the 76ers season is going badly, its hard to imagine theyll trade LeBron on a minimum contract.His commercial presence is already more viable than his massively discounted contract, so it wouldnt even make sense for the 76ers to even swap him out with a mid-season trade for any productive player making the same amount.James averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists last season. Even with a slight regression in form, its still more than great value for a minimum contract.Read more:NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani slammed by former NBA Champion on social mediaThe reason why LeBron James cant actually sign a two-year contract with Philadelphia 76ers (yet)Joel Embiid hails Max Verstappen as the GOAT after stunning Lewis Hamilton overtake during Hungarian GP
