The Cubs are in the market for notable rotation upgrades this offseason, and right-hander Michael King is among the names on their radar, per Patrick Mooney and Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic. Mooney and Sharma also double down on the Cubs' previously reported interest in Dylan Cease, noting that the Cubs are willing to forfeit the requisite draft pick and international funds to sign a player who has rejected a qualifying offer (which both Cease and King received from the Padres).

"She's good," he said on the Nov. 14 episode of TODAY. "She's just angry that she's not allowed to get back on the horse yet. She does have to take that time to recover."

Bilal Couliably entered the season with high hopes and growing expectations from a fanbase who's patiently waited for a player to step up and prove to be the team's future. Looking at the Washington Wizards history with NBA Draft prospects, any minor inconvenience sends a scare through a fanbase, who's constantly been dealt a bad hand of luck over the last few years.

On the season Luke appeared in 91 games for the Stripers and hit a very respectable .272/.364/.340 in those games good for a 98 wRC+. With offense not really being his calling card, being able to tune in with a solid line while providing solid defense up the middle, Luke gave the Braves organization really good value despite the injury struggles. He rarely struck out (12% K%), walked at a good rate (12%), and found his MaxEV all the way up to 109 MPH.

Expectations were high for Fuentes in 2025 coming off a breakout 2024 with Augusta, where he pitched to a 2.74 ERA and 1.02 WHIP with 98 strikeouts over 75.2 innings as a 19-year-old. Fuentes had been a guy with potential before then, but it was his 2024 breakout that really saw his stock rise. Fuentes skyrocketed through the minors in 2025. He made just three starts with Rome, then five with Columbus, prior to his promotion to Gwinnett.

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe was forced to withdraw one of his key players against Brentford, with a modern trend blamed for the setback.

Their trip, however, got off to a difficult start when one of their key midfielders was withdrawn after just 24 minutes.

"Milan played the match on Tuesday, and they took to the field again on Sunday evening, four days later. On Wednesday, Tomori went for tests that ruled out any injuries, and he couldn't walk.

It was a cold November morning, and I had travelled with my family to our ancestral temple in a village in Tamil Nadu. My sister's 11-month-old baby was to be tonsured for the first time a religious head-shaving that in Hinduism is a way of discarding the evil eye and removing any negativity from past lives; a new start. My wife drove, but asked me to park the car while she went inside with our son and her parents.

Misa, selected second overall by the Sharks at the NHL Draft in June, had three points in seven games with the Sharks.

Adin Ličina was one of the five youngsters that Vincent Kompany brought to the first team's 2024 pre-season in Seoul.

He is a long-term investment for Newcastle, and they will hope to nurture him into an important player.

Eklund, who is tied for second on the Sharks with 11 points, did not travel with the Sharks to Seattle on Tuesday afternoon as he continues to deal with a lower-body injury that also caused him to miss Sunday's home game against the Detroit Red Wings, a 3-2 shootout loss. Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said Eklund, who has had the injury for over a week, is considered day-to-day, but it is trending in the right direction.

Dan Quinn took full accountability for quarterback Jayden Daniels' dislocating his elbow during the Washington Commanders' blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He got lost in the moment, and the head coach paid a heavy price. Quinn cut a dejected figure when speaking to the media on Monday.

"The only thing I can say is," Scherzer told reporters, as relayed Jesse Rogers of ESPN in the aftermath of last night's game, "it's going to take some time to give a full answer to that, but there is no way that was my last pitch."

The Big Ten title might have gone through the Week 10 meeting between the Penn State Nittany Lions' visit to the Ohio State Buckeyes. Instead, Penn State's season collapsed and it has fired James Franklin and the Lions lost their starting QB, Drew Allar, for the season. The Buckeyes have been unstoppable and largely unchallenged this season. QB Julian Sayin has been remarkably efficient, completing 80% of his passes with a 19-to-3 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
