DOB and EOF are extra thankful for this timely nugget because they're able to start your weekend off on a high note by reacting to Atlanta acquiring Joc Pederson from the Cubs in exchange for 1B prospect Bryce Ball.

BH's Kalabrya Gondrezick-Haskins Facing Charges In Las Vegas Former Benton Harbor basketball star Kalabrya Gondrezick-Haskins is facing felony battery and domestic violence charges after a fight with her husband July 3 at The Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas. Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins lost a tooth when she hit him and cut his lip. The two were married in March and Gondrezick-Haskins told police they were going to renew their vows in Vegas and were also there for a wedding with 14 others. The fight happened after she and several women went to a "Magic Mike" show and he and others went without waiting for them to a nightclub. The argument got physical when they all returned to the hotel. Haskins is the Steelers backup quarterback and was drafted by Washington in the first round in 2019 out of Ohio State. Gondrezick-Haskins played basketball briefly for Michigan State, and her sister, Kysre, was the first-round pick of the Indiana Fever of the WNBA this season.

Atlanta sent minor league first baseman Bryce Ball to Chicago for Pederson, who is batting .230 with 11 homers and 39 RBIs in 73 games. The 29-year-old Pederson spent his first seven seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers before signing with the Cubs in free agency in February. The Braves are looking to return to the playoffs, but their pursuit of a fourth straight NL East title took a hit when Acuña tore the ACL in his right knee during Saturday's 5-4 victory over Miami. MLB – Health official: Blue Jays trending toward return to Canada Canada's deputy chief public health officer says the Toronto Blue Jays' return to their home ballpark is “trending in a very good direction.” But Dr. Howard Njoo would not say when an announcement would be made. Toronto has played its home games this year in Dunedin, Florida, and Buffalo, New York, because of Canadian travel restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic. The Blue Jays also played all their home games in Buffalo last year. The team has applied for an exemption to the travel rules. Njoo said there has been “a lot of good back-and-forth” between the Blue Jays and the government over the application.
