Head coach Pete Carroll announced that Lucas (shoulder) is expected to be healthy for the start of training camp, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. Lucas is nearing his return after undergoing shoulder surgery earlier in the offseason. The 24-year-old started all but one of the Seahawks' games last season as well as their wild-card loss to the 49ers and should be expected to have a similar role during the upcoming campaign.

Pokusevski suffered a small right humerus fracture May 31 and will be re-evaluated in four-to-six weeks, Clemente Almanza of the Thunder Wire reports. Pokusevski has had some tough injury luck lately, as he missed over half of his third NBA season with a total of 34 games played. Fortunately, he still has a lot of time to recover in advance of training camp with the Thunder. With an improved three-point shot and a knack for blocking shots, Pokusevski has the potential to play a big role for the Thunder.

Julien will be optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Julien performed well after being recalled to the majors May 20, slashing .286/.333/.500 with two homers and four RBI in 36 plate appearances. He'll be forced back to Triple-A due to the return of Jorge Polanco (hamstring), but the 24-year-old prospect will almost certainly be back with the Twins at some point this year if he continues to crush minor-league pitching.

Twins' Edouard Julien: Headed back to Triple-A

Houston, TX

Astros manager Dusty Baker said Brantley (shoulder) hit off a tee Thursday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports. Brantley began taking dry swings last week, but this was the first time he put bat-to-ball since his setback in early May. The veteran has been out all season while recovering from August 2022 shoulder labrum surgery and there remains no timetable for his 2023 debut, but he at least seems to be on the right track again with his rehab.

Kepler (head) is starting in right field Friday against Cleveland. Kepler had to be removed from Thursday's game after experiencing migraines, but the issue seems to have subsided overnight. The 30-year-old outfielder is just 2-for-17 at the plate since returning from the injured list Monday.

Cincinnati, OH

Weaver allowed three runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out five batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Boston on Wednesday. Weaver didn't issue any free passes for the second time in his past three starts, which was key to limiting the damage in an outing during which he allowed four extra-base hits. Two of those were homers, but they were both solo shots, and the righty hurler was aided by a double-play ball between a pair of hits before he was lifted in the sixth inning. Weaver has taken a no-decision in each of his past four starts, but he's pitched pretty well during that stretch, allowing eight runs over 21.2 frames (3.32 ERA) while notching a strong 21:2 K:BB.

Reds' Luke Weaver: Fans five in no-decision

Seattle optioned Trammell to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. This move clears out a major-league roster spot for Mike Ford, whose contract will be selected Friday. Trammell, 25, has batted just .133/.278/.333 across 20 games (54 plate appearances) this year in the big leagues.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and two-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes was the star of the Big Slick Kansas City celebrity softball game hosted by the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium, proving himself a triple threat as a slugger, pitcher, and shortstop.

Philadelphia, PA

PHILADELPHIA -- Jordan Davis couldn't hide his excitement when the Philadelphia Eagles selected not one, but three of his former teammates at Georgia in this year's NFL Draft. Davis was a vital component of that 2021 Georgia defense with Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith, and Kelee Ringo that allowed the fewest opponent points per game (10.2), yards per play allowed (4.16), and red zone efficiency (28.1%) in the nation -- one of the greatest defenses in college football history.

Denver, CO

The Broncos are hoping that new coach Sean Payton will rejuvenate quarterback Russell Wilson in 2023. And they might have a secret weapon to help. That's what Payton all but suggested Thursday, envisioning second-year tight end Greg Dulcich not only as an improved blocker and pass catcher but as an all-purpose "Joker" who rotates between positions.

Gallo was scratched from Friday's lineup against Cleveland with tightness in his hamstring, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. Willi Castro will fill in for Gallo in left field and bat seventh. Gallo has dealt with hamstring issues over the past few weeks, but he's considered day-to-day for now.

Votto (shoulder/biceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Saturday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports. Votto started his initial rehab assignment in early April, but it quickly became obvious his surgically repaired left shoulder and bicep weren't ready. The veteran first baseman has been ramping up his workouts in recent weeks and now feels ready to give it another shot. How many games he might need isn't yet clear, but a lengthy rehab stint seems probable. Once he's deemed ready, Votto figures to be used both at first base and designated hitter.

A 36-year-old man from Augusta was recently arrested in Coffee County after a drug detective reportedly witnessed him strike a woman in a vehicle. The altercation, according to the victim, stemmed from her forgetting money to purchase drinks.

Wong went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Thursday in an 8-2 victory versus Cincinnati. Wong essentially put the game away for the Red Sox in the eighth inning, swatting a two-run shot to left-center field. The blast extended his modest hitting streak to eight games, during which he is slashing .310/.333/.690 with two homers, five doubles and four RBI. Wong's strong hitting appears to have cemented his place ahead of Reese McGuire on the catcher depth chart -- since May 24, Wong has started five games to McGuire's two.
