Tarik Skubal (P - DET)
6/12/26 7:00 AM - Tarik Skubal, the Cleveland Browns and other athletes credit a tiny new scope for faster recoveries. Several top pro athletes and their surgeons say a modern version of an old tool is shaving weeks off the recovery time after certain injuries. And some top doctors think this is only the beginning. Cy Young Award winners Tarik Skubal and Blake Snell let doctors use the instrument on their prized elbows. Connor Hellebuyck, the 2025 Hart Trophy winner as NHL MVP, trusted it to address issues in his knee. Several NFL players have turned to it, too. It’s called the NanoNeedle scope 2.0, a miniaturized, flexible version of the traditional arthroscope. It’s very early — there is little research into the instrument — but it is accumulating an impressive list of proponents.

6/11/26 10:01 PM - Twins Lets Zebbybody On The Tigers Hit A Homer.
The Tigers are pound-for-pound a mess, and that is embodied by Colt Keith (2-for-4, 2 runs, 3 RBIs), as he had a slam (1) and legs (3). First home run and 3rd steal feels kinda unreal. On the Player Rater, we have how much value a player has had over the course of the season and how much per game. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Braden Montgomery (OF - CWS)
6/11/26 2:51 AM - White Sox rookie Braden Montgomery hasn't calmed down after his historic walk-off MLB debut. Braden Montgomery says he doesn't think he has calmed down a day after he hit a game-ending homer in his major league debut. Montgomery capped a 2-for-5 night with a two-run homer in the 10th inning to lift the Chicago White Sox to a 6-5 win over Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night. He became the fifth player in MLB history to hit a walk-off homer in his debut. White Sox manager Will Venable said Wednesday he isn’t worried about the 23-year-old getting ahead of himself after one game. Montgomery says he lost track of how many congratulatory text messages he's received.
