Spain's Rafael Nadal withdrew from the Laver Cup on Saturday, citing personal reasons. "I'm not good, I'm not good," he told Spanish reporters early Saturday morning at London's O2 Arena, per ESPN. "The truth is these have been difficult weeks in that sense. Few, very few hours of sleep, a bit of stress in general, slightly more difficult situations than usual at home. "As a result, well, I've had to deal with all that, which is a different pressure to the one you're used to in your professional life. But, well, luckily everything is good and we are much more calm. And in that sense, I've been able to come here, which for me was the most important thing." Nadal and his wife, Mery Perello, are expecting their first child.

The St. Louis Cardinals slugger hit two home runs in the first four innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers in order to reach the 700, going deep against left-hander Andrew Heaney in the third and against right-hander Phil Bickford in the fourth.

The Baltimore Ravens agreed to terms Friday with free agent defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul. The team said the deal is pending the passing of a physical exam. Pierre-Paul worked out for the club on Tuesday. Terms were not disclosed, but earlier NFL Network reports said it is a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million. Pierre-Paul, 33, is a three-time Pro Bowl selection who recorded 91.5 career sacks for the New York Giants (2010-17) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2018-21). He posted 2.5 sacks in 12 games last season. The Ravens need pass rushers after losing Steven Means for the season with a ruptured Achilles. The team was down to two healthy outside linebackers as of this week.

He has 603 tackles, 21 forced fumbles, 10 fumble recoveries and 61 pass breakups over his 12-year career. He has won two Super Bowl rings, one each with New York and Tampa Bay. --Field Level Media https...

RBC Capital analysts provided their outlook on CarMax, Inc. (NYSE:KMX) ahead of the upcoming Q2 earnings announcement. While the analysts continue to believe in the company's long-term share gain opportunity, they believe industry data and peer read-throughs continue to point to a deteriorating macro backdrop. RBC Capital’s bias skews to the downside on both used unit comp sales (Street’s -2.0%) and EPS (Street’s $1.43). More encouragingly, the analyst’s channel work leads them to believe the company can now offer 100% online purchasing to nearly all consumers - which paired with a reallocation of advertising spend, should result in continued share progress. The analysts expect Q2 used units flat year-over-year at 231,700 (Street’s 230,500). This implies the company gained share as industry data remains soft, although the analysts note visits to the company's website were down approximately 15% year-over-year during Q2.   https://www.cweb.com/walmart-to-hire-40000-associates-...

The Arizona Cardinals will try to end a six-game losing streak at home when they face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday in Glendale, Ariz. The Cardinals haven't beat the Rams inside State Farm Stadium since a 31-14 win on Nov. 9, 2014, when the Rams were still based in St. Louis. That was also a long time ago for Arizona head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who was the coach at Texas Tech at that time. Kingsbury knows one of the keys to ending the streak will be containing Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald, a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year. "Nobody has a plan for that," Kingsbury said of Donald. "We just have to make sure he doesn't wreck the game." The Cardinals (1-1) hope to retain the momentum they built last week when they rallied from a 20-0 halftime deficit on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders and won 29-23 on a fumble return in overtime. Arizona lost its leading rusher from last season, James Connor, to an ankle injury against the Raiders, but...

But it's because you can tell more than that, it's because he works at his craft. He's developing every time he's o...

The Philadelphia Phillies had a day off before hosting a crucial two-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays. The extra rest didn't help, as the Phillies allowed 21 hits and were pummeled 18-11 on Tuesday. Philadelphia will now look to snap a five-game losing streak in the finale against the Blue Jays on Wednesday. "We've just got to regroup and go get 'em tomorrow," Phillies interim manager Rob Thomson said after the Tuesday loss. J.T. Realmuto was a bright spot for Philadelphia on Tuesday with five hits, including a home run, and two RBIs. It was the third career five-hit game of Realmuto's career. Kyle Schwarber hit a three-run homer to reach 40 home runs in a season for the first time, and Dalton Guthrie crushed his first career home run. But the Phillies' pitchers struggled, and the hosts also committed three errors. Not a winning recipe for a franchise with aspirations of making the playoffs for the first time since 2011. The Phillies (80-67) remai...

Middle Tennessee State is well aware of the daunting task ahead when it hits the road Saturday to face No. 25 Miami and its intimidating defense. "Those suckers can fly at every position," Middle Tennessee State head coach Rick Stockstill said of Miami. "They have a really good and talented defense. They put a lot of pressure on you."

Fresh off its long-awaited first win of the season, Notre Dame will hit the road to face North Carolina on Saturday at Chapel Hill. After falling in the season opener at Ohio State, then absorbing a stunning home loss to Marshall, the Fighting Irish (1-2) rebounded last week with a 24-17 win over Cal. Key in Notre Dame's first win of the season was the pressure its defense was able to apply on Cal quarterback Jack Plummer. The Irish racked up six sacks and five other QB hits. The pressure didn't result in any turnovers, but Notre Dame kept Cal to just 4 of 15 on third down conversions and 1 of 3 on fourth down. "Overall, I've been pleased, but is there a lot to improve at? Absolutely," first-year Irish coach Marcus Freeman said. "That goes from every level of defense." Irish quarterback Drew Pyne also was sharp against Cal, completing 17 of 23 passes for 150 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Backfield mates Audric Estime and Chris Tyree combined for 140 ru...
