Hunter Wendelstedt to face subtle discipline for Aaron Boone ejection
As MLB sorts out Monday’s strange ejection of Aaron Boone, what has become evident is Hunter Wendelstedt will be disciplined in more subtle ways. MLB has talked with Boone and Wendelstedt, who tossed the Yankees manager five pitches into an eventual loss to the A’s in The Bronx. Wendelstedt had warned Boone that he would eject him if Boone said another word. Clarke Schmidt’s solid Yankees outing spoiled by familiar sixth-inning woes Boone fell silent, but a fan behind the dugout appeared to yell at the umpire, and Wendelstedt then threw Boone out.

A former New Jersey volunteer fire chief and great-grandfather of seven turned 110 last month — joining the rare few supercentenarian men across the globe.

Rangers’ Jack Roslovic came up big in Game 2 victory: ‘Elite play’
At the tail end of the Rangers’ power play in the second period of Game 2 on Tuesday, the second unit was up against the clock to break a 2-2 tie. After carrying the puck through the middle of the ice and cleanly entering the Capitals’ zone, Jack Roslovic circled Washington’s net, posted up in the right faceoff circle and accepted a pass from Erik Gustafsson. The Rangers’ trade-deadline acquisition then sniped the puck short side, right over Charlie Lindgren’s blocker and through a sliver of an opening to the back of the net to regain the lead for his team on...

On his first day on the job as Nets head coach, Jordi Fernandez predicted Nic Claxton would win Defensive Player of the Year.
