In 2023, Casas, who made his MLB debut the prior season, was something of a revelation at first base. Over 132 games Casas hit .263/.367/.490 with 24 home runs. That's an .856 OPS and 2.2 bWAR and earned him a 3rd place finish in the AL Rookie of the Year race.
I just think about that, the Russian-born Mukhamadullin said Thursday morning. Everyone says I'm young, I'm still young, but I'm already 24. I think it's not that young. It's time to do something.
It was a lightning negotiation, closed on the last day of the market. My agent suddenly called me saying, 'We have to take a jet to Milan right away'. I remember the interview with Pippo Inzaghi in his office on the first day in Milanello. He was supposed to show me some slides on how to move around the field, but he spoke in Italian. I didn't understand anything.
We were called at 10.15am on 24 February to reports of a road traffic collision in Old Kent Road, SE15. We sent three ambulance crews, two paramedics in fast response cars and an incident response officer to the scene. The first paramedic arrived in around seven minutes. We treated eight patients at the scene and took them to hospital.
However, Luis Enrique believes they cannot underestimate their opponents, especially after falling behind in the title race. "We're going to approach the match against Metz like any other," said the PSG boss. "It's a very important match because we need to put pressure on Lens and take all three points. "I can't remember any match against the bottom team that has gone without a hitch. We need those three points."
Alex Sarr is out with a right hamstring injury and I'm not sure that we'll see him again this season, while Vukcevic is the only guy to fill the void he'll leave. Vukcevic can help fantasy managers with points, rebounds, steals, blocks and 3-pointers, and came back from a two-game absence due to an illness for a masterful 12 points, five rebounds, five steals, a block and two 3-pointers in just 17 minutes against the Pacers on Thursday.
Starting with the hosts, getting their Champions League play-off adventure underway with a 2-0 loss away at German giants Borussia Dortmund earlier in the week, Atalanta will be seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, last seen in Serie A action putting in a rugged performance as they secured a 2-0 victory against Lazio, Raffaele Palldino's side have reignited their European dreams and they will be looking to claim a heavyweight scalp when they return to Bergamo on Sunday afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, while Everton might have their sights set on mounting a famous European charge over the coming months, David Moyes' men are desperately searching for some recent stability. Last seen suffering a dramatic collapse on home soil as they eventually slumped to a 2-1 loss at the hands of Bournemouth, the former Manchester United boss has seen his squad win just a pair of their eight appearances across all competitions since opening 2026.
Most Bayern Munich fans know who David Alaba is: a talented left-back with deadly freekicks, versatility, and uh *checks notes a money hungry agent who drew the ire of the club. He then swapped Munich red for Madrid white in 2021 after 12 years with the club. After an unsuccessful period in Spain, it looks like he's off to the next chapter of his career.
"I am in a good moment, but I think the best is yet to come. Physically, I am fine , I needed regularity and the sensations are good," he added. "It's not that I'm bothered by people saying that I get injured a lot, but I don't agree with that either. I've had injuries due to trauma, which is something I can't control because it's part of the sport."
It's always a special atmosphere when these two teams meet, but tonight's game at Chase Center feels particularly heavy for both sides. The Celtics are coming into the second half of the season looking like a legitimate juggernaut, holding onto the second seed in the East despite the massive hole left by Jayson Tatum's absence. Jaylen Brown has stepped into that primary role and has been one of the season's best storylines. He's playing with a level of aggression and efficiency that has completely shifted the ceiling for this Boston squad.
Fantasy Premier League gameweek 27 is where planning really starts to matter. We're in the stretch between the first doubles and the chaos of upcoming blanks, which means hanging onto risky picks can seriously slow you down. Now's the time to move early on players with dodgy minutes, tough fixtures, suspensions or straight‑up bad underlying data. Clearing out these problem assets lets you attack the next few weeks with form players and one or two clever differentials.
No matter how you spin it, Jakob Poeltl having only played 22 games so far in the 2025-26 season is far from the return on investment that not only the Raptors' front office expected but also the Raptors' fanbase. I get that injuries are just part of the game and that you can't fully prepare for these unforeseen circumstances. Still, there's not much substance in using that as an excuse to justify what has mostly been a blunder for the Raptors lately.
Both teams enter McKale Memorial Center nursing significant wounds; the Wildcats are monitoring injuries to stars Koa Peat and Dwayne Aristode, while the Cougars must navigate life without defensive anchor and 3-point sharpshooter Richie Saunders. Beyond the desert, the schedule is packed with ranked clashes, including a physical SEC battle between No. 20 Arkansas and No. 25 Alabama, and a Big East test for No. 5 UConn as they host a surging Creighton team.
England have been drawn in a qualifying group alongside 2023 winners Spain - who beat the Lionesses in the final - as well as Ukraine and Iceland. Wiegman will name her squad for the first time in 2026 on Tuesday at 11:00 - who might feature and what are the key decisions for the Dutchwoman? England have not had a competitive fixture since winning Euro 2025 as they beat China 8-0 and Ghana 2-0 in friendly matches at the end of last year.
Birmingham make six changes, with midfielder Paik Seung-ho missing out through a shoulder injury. "It's concerning because he's a massive player," said manager Chris Davies. Centre-back Jonathan Panzo and forward August Priske make their first starts. Goalkeeper Ryan Allsop, midfielder Tommy Doyle and wingers Carlos Vicente and Demarai Gray also come in. James Beadle, Phil Neumann, Patrick Roberts, Ibrahim Osman and Marvin Ducksch drop to the bench.
Liverpool and Brighton & Hove Albion have confirmed their starting teams for their meeting at Anfield in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday. The Reds recovered from a narrow loss to Manchester City by recording a 1-0 win at Sunderland on Wednesday, scoring through Virgil van Dijk's second-half header. Brighton arrive after league defeats at home to Crystal Palace and away to Aston Villa, extending their winless Premier League run to six matches.
The major news for Real Madrid is that top scorer Kylian Mbappe, who has been managing a knee issue, is on the bench. Madrid will hope Mbappe's initial absence does not hinder their attempt to keep up to speed with Barca. The feared striker has an astonishing 38 goals in 31 appearances in all competitions this season, finding the net 23 times across 22 league matches. Eder Militao and Jude Bellingham are out through hamstring injuries.
