Cody Bellinger's grade two hamstring injury could keep him out until September, creating another brutal setback for a Yankees lineup already missing Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate how aggressively Brian Cashman must respond, why outfield help is now the deadline priority and whether realistic additions like Tyrone Taylor, Tyler Stephenson or George Springer could keep the Yankees in the AL East race. The pressure also shifts to the organization's young talent. Shaun argues George Lombard Jr. should be promoted immediately, while Anthony Volpe's dropped pop-up sparks a clash over whether one disastrous mistake erased an otherwise strong game. Plus, the crew pitches professional mini golf as television's next great attraction and brings back Posted and Toasted.

Cody Bellinger's grade two hamstring injury could keep him out until September, turning an already battered Yankees lineup into Brian Cashman's biggest deadline crisis. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate why outfield help has become the priority, whether George Lombard Jr. should be promoted immediately and which realistic additions could keep the Yankees in the AL East race. They also clash over Anthony Volpe after his dropped pop-up overshadowed an otherwise productive game, with Evan showing rare sympathy and Shaun arguing the mistake erased everything positive. Plus, the crew explains why track and field struggles to create lasting interest and pitches televised mini golf as a surprisingly compelling alternative.

Chris Mathis explains why he's refused to overreact to either the highs or the lows of the Tampa Bay Rays' season. While others buried the Rays during losing streaks or crowned them after winning streaks, Chris has stayed consistent in his belief that this is simply a really good baseball team. Now sitting at 55-37, first place in the AL East, and four games ahead of the Yankees with five All-Stars, the Rays are backing up that belief. But Chris says what separates this club from previous Tampa Bay teams isn't just the star power of Junior Caminero and Yandy Díaz—it's the production from the bottom of the lineup. If players like Victor Mesa Jr., Cedric Mullins, or Richie Palacios can consistently contribute, the Rays become one of the most dangerous teams in the American League. Is this the year the Rays finally break through? Chris explains why this team feels different.

The Tampa Bay Rays have earned their spot atop the AL East—but the job isn't finished. Chris Mathis explains why a four-game lead over the Yankees shouldn't lull the Rays into playing it safe at the MLB Trade Deadline. With Aaron Judge expected back for New York, the division is far from decided, and Tampa Bay can't assume its current roster is enough to finish the job. Chris makes the case that Erik Neander needs to be aggressive by adding at least one impact bat and one reliable pitcher to strengthen an already talented roster. The Rays have five All-Stars, the confidence of a first-place club, and a golden opportunity to capture the AL East. Standing pat—or making moves that don't truly improve the team—would be a missed opportunity for one of the most complete Rays teams in recent memory. If the Rays believe they're legitimate contenders, it's time to prove it at the trade deadline.

BaseballBiz On Deck: Rays Up EditionMark Corbett and Mat GermainThe Rays Are RollingTampa Bay leads the AL East by four games over New York, sits 17+ games above .500, and has essentially locked up a playoff spot. Their Low-A and High-A affiliates have already clinched. The system ranks top 10 in baseball. Four players are headed to the All-Star Game: Brian Baker, Junior Caminero, Yandy Diaz, and Drew Rasmussen.Game Night: Rays 3, Yankees 0Recorded live during a dominant Wednesday night win. Shane McClanahan: 6.1 IP, 4 H, 0 BB, 5 K, 0 ER. Yandy Diaz: 3-for-3, including an inside pitch he turned on that had no business being a hit. Brian Baker closed it with trademark intensity. Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected in the process.Players to WatchTaylor Walls has quietly become a legitimate two-way contributor after hip surgery. Feduccia is delivering from the nine hole. Richie Palacios is on a tear. Johnny DeLuca is back. The bottom of the lineup is producing when it counts.Trade Deadline TargetsThree names Mat would pursue before the deadline:Zach Neto (Angels) as a shortstop upgrade with power and speed. Cost: Carson Williams and pieces.Hunter Goodman (Rockies) as a power catcher whose away numbers are actually better than his Coors numbers. Could be the playoff bat they lack.Freddy Peralta (Mets) as a reclamation starter who needs a change of scenery and would benefit from Kyle Snyder's coaching.Drew Anderson (Tigers) as a multi-inning reliever with swing-and-miss stuff, built for October.Playoff-Ready Depth at AAAThe Rays have assembled a rare Triple-A roster of MLB-tested veterans: Gavin Lux, Carson Williams, Jake Fraley, Jake Cave, Jacob Melton, Nick Madrigal, Homer Bush Jr., Oliver Dunn, and Austin Slater. It functions like an expansion team safety net heading into September.MLB Draft: Second Overall PickTop candidates: Roch Cholowsky (SS, UCLA), Grady Emerson (SS, high school), Vahn Lackey (C, Georgia Tech). If the White Sox take Emerson first, Cholowsky may fall to Tampa. A college-ready shortstop who could slot next to Caminero for a decade is hard to pass on.Evan Longoria WeekendUpper deck tickets available on StubHub from $30-44. Lower bowl sections reaching $900. Mat and Mark urge fans to show up. Longoria was crushed when he was dealt, gave everything to this city, and deserves a full house.The Only Missing PieceA stadium deal. Everything else is in place: the manager locked for five years, the GM, the pitching coach, money to spend at the deadline, a loaded system, and a team winning right now. Get it done.Also discussed: Dylan Cease's near no-hitter for Toronto, ex-Rays All-Stars (Arozarena, Wacha, Christopher Sanchez, Riley O'Brien, Joe Ryan), attending minor league and college games, and the Durham Bulls leading their division.

Once again, the Yankee bats were shut down by Tampa, falling further back in the AL East standings with a shutout loss. Chris breaks down the offensive showing, how Gerrit Cole looked on the mound as he looks to move past his post-Tommy John struggles, Aaron Boone's heated ejection, the continued listless at-bats from Paul Goldschmidt and Cody Bellinger, and Anthony Volpe's return to the starting shortstop role.

Chris McMonigle breaks down why the Yankees' expectations have changed amid injuries and an ugly slump but insists they can't let the Rays gain ground in the AL East. A split in Tampa is now the bare minimum. Then the conversation shifts to the biggest question of the trade deadline: Should the Yankees go all-in for Tarik Skubal? Chris explains why an ace like Skubal could transform New York's playoff rotation, debates whether the Yankees need pitching more than another bat, and fields calls on the team's recent struggles, strikeout woes, and Aaron Boone's club.

Sho Alli and Kaitlyn McGrath break down the Blue Jays' 9-3 win vs. the Giants to even this series at one game apiece! They take your calls and texts, and discuss the breakthrough on offence with nine runs - how important is it to get runs from guys like Jonatan Clase, Brandon Valenzuela, and Sean Keys, and how critical is it to get that bounce back from guys like Vladimir Guerrero Jr.? They discuss four innings of two-run ball from Spencer Miles - what's his ceiling? Plus, they take a look around the AL East, and get into what needs to stay the same for results to remain consistent moving forward.   The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

On this Tuesday edition of The Chasers Dugout Report, the panel breaks down Junior Caminero's historic power surge — the Rays third baseman, now 23, became the youngest player in MLB history to homer in six straight games (surpassing Ken Griffey Jr.), part of an 11-home-run stretch across 11 games dating back to June 23. Alvin Clawson makes the case for him as the best third baseman in baseball right now.The crew also unpacks a report that seven MLB umpires — including CB Bucknor and Laz Díaz — accepted buyouts to retire after the 2026 season, with the automated ball-strike (ABS) Challenge System and rising public scrutiny cited as key factors. Expect a real debate on accountability, ego, and preserving the human element behind the plate.

Facing a four-game deficit in the AL East to open the week, the Yanks got right to work vs. the first-place Rays, riding eight innings from a motivated Cam Schlittler.

The New York Yankees rotation took a massive hit as left-hander Carlos Rodón was placed on the injured list with severe elbow inflammation, projecting an absence that will stretch into mid-August. Corey Pieper breaks down a devastating AL East injury timeline, shifting league discipline, crucial backend bullpen targets, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The transaction wire is hyperactive heading into the All-Star break as Cade Cavalli's suspension has officially been reduced to 5 games on appeal, allowing him to begin serving his time immediately. Meanwhile, Patrick Sandoval has been fully reinstated from the injured list, and George Springer has returned to the team from family medical leave, though he remained out of the starting lineup in his first game back. Roster managers must track a highly volatile day of performances that featured Tyler Tolbert exploding for a perfect 5-for-5 game with a home run, while modern juggernauts Shohei Ohtani and Matt Olson continued their steady power surges, alongside dynamic offensive showings from James Wood, Curtis Mead, CJ Abrams, Jose Caballero, Juan Soto, and Heliot Ramos. On the mound, Cam Schlittler delivered a masterful 8-inning, 8-strikeout gem, Landen Roupp turned in an 8-inning showcase of his own, and Brandon Pfaadt tossed 5 scoreless frames. Conversely, it was a historical implosion for frontline starters: Cristopher Sanchez collapsed for 9 earned runs in just 3.1 innings, Mike Burrows surrendered 10 total runs, and veteran arms Kevin Gausman and Walker Buehler were hammered for a combined 11 earned runs. Offensively, Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger, and Jonathan Aranda bottomed out with matching, empty 0-for-4, 3-strikeout nights. The Bullpen Report provides essential waiver-wire clarity, highlighting Tyler Wells ramping up in Baltimore, Jacob Webb securing the most recent save for the Cubs, and Emilio Pagan making his return to Cincinnati.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open a new week on Cash That Ticket with a jam packed Monday show covering a loaded MLB slate and the next big NFL win total heading into the season. Coming off a one and one showing on Friday's Best Bet feature, the guys look to get back on track with the All Star break just around the corner, and Dave checks in from Florida after a weekend where both of his biggest bets cashed. The two dive straight into the Monday card, breaking down a huge AL East clash between the Yankees and Rays, weighing Cam Schlittler's uneven recent form against Griffin Jax's ability to limit hard contact, with both hosts ultimately siding with Tampa Bay. From there they turn to the Astros and Nationals, working through shaky recent outings from both starters before landing on Washington's offense as the more trustworthy side, all while flagging an interesting reverse line movement in the marketplace. The Mets and Braves closing out their series in Atlanta gets a full breakdown too, with a first five inning angle drawing plenty of attention alongside Atlanta's strong history bouncing back after a loss. Milwaukee and St Louis bring a classic market versus gut debate, and the Diamondbacks and Padres matchup closes the featured card with a deep look at Walker Buehler's dominant career history against Arizona. The guys also squeeze in quick hits on the late West Coast slate involving the Giants, Blue Jays, Rockies, and Dodgers before shifting gears entirely into football. The next NFL win total on the board belongs to the Minnesota Vikings, sitting at eight and a half games, and the hosts spend real time on the team's rotating quarterback situation from a season ago, the arrival of Kyler Murray, and what a retooled defense means for the ceiling of this roster heading into the year. Dave offers an unusually honest look at his own skepticism toward Murray before landing on the over, and Munaf builds the case further with a breakdown of the schedule and the coaching staff's track record of getting the most out of its quarterbacks. Before wrapping up, the guys remind listeners about the FIREWORKS12 promo code still active on pregame.com for picks packages through the end of the night, covering weekend, thirty day all access, and early bird NFL options as the calendar turns toward August. The show closes out with best bets from both hosts, one built around a National League East divisional matchup in the first five innings and another anchored by a proven veteran arm on the mound in San Diego, before the two preview tomorrow's show, which will dig into the Pittsburgh Steelers win total along with another full day of baseball. Whether you are looking for sharp MLB matchup analysis, an early read on next season's NFL win totals, or just want to hear two seasoned handicappers work through their thinking in real time, this episode delivers a complete and detailed breakdown of everything moving the betting markets on a busy Monday in July.

Craig Carton is out, so Chris McMonigle takes over The Carton Show solo and is joined by Yankees Spanish radio broadcaster Rickie Ricardo ahead of a massive four-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Rickie explains why this series could define the AL East race, discusses what's gone wrong with the Yankees' offense, Aaron Judge's absence, Gerrit Cole's return from Tommy John surgery, Cam Schlittler's recent struggles, and why Cody Bellinger, Austin Wells, and the rest of the lineup need to step up immediately.

We talk about the most historic franchises.

The Boston Red Sox have had a disappointing 2026 campaign thus far. With lots of hope and promise riding on the backs of their young starters, the team has struggled to get off the ground. However, this past weekend, they completed a four-game mop of their bitter rivals, the New York Yankees, and suddenly find themselves right back in a Wild Card race that appears to be up for the taking. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the Red Sox's impressive pitching performance against the Yankees, including shutting down the only team in the American League with a run differential better than +25. They also get into why there isn't a ton of concern for the Bronx Bombers, considering the team is struggling to keep key players healthy and on the field. Also on the show, Jake and Jordan welcome Sam Blum from The Athletic to discuss the Los Angeles Angels firing general manager Perry Minasian, whether it could signal a change for the franchise, or if owner Arte Moreno will continue to struggle to find direction for his team.

Caitlin Clark got punched in the throat on national television and the refs didn't call a foul. Serena Williams — at 44 — just accepted a Wimbledon singles wildcard and plays Tuesday.

New York ran through the Eastern Conference like a freight train, sweeping both the 76ers and the Cavaliers before closing out San Antonio in five. This is one of the most significant NBA championships in the past two decades and the city of New York is still celebrating.

This week she picked up her fifth technical foul of the season for clapping and was later punched in the throat during a play with no foul called in real time. The WNBA eventually suspended Phoenix's Alyssa Thomas and upgraded the foul to a Flagrant 2 — but the damage was already done, and the internet had already seen everything. Indiana Fever record: 10-7 — in the playoff picture Clark has 5 technical fouls on the season; automatic one-game suspension kicks in at 8 Monday June 23: Clark was T'd up for clapping after a foul call — league has not rescinded it despite a Fever appeal Wednesday June 25: Alyssa Thomas hit Clark in the throat on a dead ball — no foul called live, later upgraded to Flagrant 2, Thomas suspended Clark's stat line from Monday: 24 points, 9 assists in an 86-77 Fever win over Phoenix Clark holds the WNBA record for most consecutive 20-point, 5-assist games (6 in a row) Fever coach Stephanie White: "We have a generational talent who had two cheap shots that weren't called."

The USMNT won Group D, scored 7 goals in the group stage (tying their all-time record before the knockout round), and now faces Bosnia-Herzegovina in the Round of 32. Off the field, international fans are going viral for discovering American culture for the first time — Waffle House, Big Gulps, and Buc-ee's are now internationally famous. USA beat Paraguay 4-1 in their opener — one of the strongest competitive performances in years USA beat Australia in Game 2 to clinch the group Final group game: Lost 3-2 to Turkey (already eliminated, Pochettino rested starters) — Christian Pulisic came on in the 58th minute returning from a calf injury 7 goals in the group stage ties the USMNT record before knockout play Round of 32: USA vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina — next up The expanded 48-team World Cup already set the record for most combined goals in tournament history International fan reactions: Scotland's Tartan Army played bagpipes in a Boston neighborhood at 6:30am — neighbors loved it Pre-tournament concerns about immigration enforcement, ticket prices ($11,000 for Finals seats), and boycott calls have largely given way to an overwhelmingly positive on-the-ground experience   Tennis — Serena Williams Returns to Wimbledon Singles Serena Williams, 44, has accepted a wildcard to compete in the 2026 Wimbledon singles draw — her first singles match at a Grand Slam since the 2022 US Open. What started as a doubles comeback has turned into a full singles return on the biggest stage in tennis. Wimbledon begins Monday, June 29. Serena plays Tuesday. Serena holds 7 Wimbledon singles titles and 23 Grand Slam titles total Last major singles match: 2022 US Open, third round loss to Ajla Tomljanovic Comeback started at Queen's Club (doubles with Victoria Mboko — won the opener 7-6, 6-2) Also played doubles in Berlin with Karolina Muchova before the Wimbledon wildcard announcement Wimbledon confirmed the singles wildcard June 21 with the Instagram post: "This is not a drill" Serena and Venus also received a doubles wildcard — the sisters play together at SW19 First round opponent: Maya Joint (Australia), World No. 53 — plays Tuesday, June 30 Unseeded and could face a top-10 player as early as the second round Serena's own words on returning: "I need to get to work." On pressure: "I've had enough pressure." On motivation: "It's really about my kids getting to see me play."   NHL — Carolina Hurricanes Win the Stanley Cup The Carolina Hurricanes are Stanley Cup champions, defeating the Vegas Golden Knights 4-2 in the Stanley Cup Final. Carolina was the top seed in the East all season and backed it up all the way to a Cup-clinching shutout in Game 6. They didn't just win — they dominated, including a dominant sweep of Ottawa in the first round and a five-game win over Montreal. Carolina won the Stanley Cup Final over Vegas 4-2 Game 6 was a shutout — Hurricanes closed it out in style Vegas made it to the Finals by eliminating top-seeded Colorado in 4 games in the Western Conference Finals — a major upset Hurricanes playoff run: def. Ottawa (4-0), def. Montreal (4-1), then won the Cup in 6 over Vegas Second Stanley Cup in franchise history for Raleigh, NC Carolina's defensive system and goaltending were elite all playoffs   MLB — AL East Report: June 26, 2026 The Yankees are in first place and the Rays are right behind them.
