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.

McCarthy went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases in Tuesday's 5-1 win over Colorado. McCarthy's two steals gave him four thefts over the last two games and five since he was recalled from Triple-A Reno. The outfielder, who stole 23 bases in 99 games last season, is 5-for-14 with a walk since rejoining the parent club. He opened the season with an everyday role but was sent down to Reno with a .143 average and .229 OBP. If McCarthy avoids slumps, he'll be a steady supply of steals.

Jung went 3-for-5 with a double, a homer, two RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's victory over the Tigers. Jung scored the opening run Tuesday after cracking a one-out double in the second inning. He'd later extend the Rangers' lead to 9-6 in the seventh, belting a two-run homer off Tyler Holton. The 25-year-old Jung extended his hit streak to 13 games -- he's gone 21-for-49 with four home runs in that span. He's now slashing .291/.338/.527 with 12 home runs, 37 RBI and 39 runs scored through 219 plate appearances this season.

Purdue star Zach Edey is withdrawing from the NBA Draft and returning for a fourth season of college basketball, he announced Wednesday evening just hours before the declaration deadline. The 7-foot-4 reigning consensus National Player of the Year ranked No. 72 in the most recent CBS Sports NBA Draft Prospect Rankings and faced an uncertain professional future as a traditional center in a modern professional game that values perimeter prowess in its big men.

Atlanta, GA

Mayfield (back) was seen taking some reps at right guard during 11-on-11 drills throughout last week's OTAs, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. The Falcons' 2021 third-round pick missed the entire 2022 NFL season with a back injury, but he's back on the field after having moved past the issue. During Mayfield's rookie year, he started all but one game for Atlanta at left guard, but the team now has him taking snaps at right guard. He won't be starting over All-Pro right guard Chris Lindstrom, so it's most likely that Mayfield will serve as a depth piece for the Falcons' offensive line.

Altuve went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk in Monday's 10-inning loss to the Twins. Altuve temporarily turned the game around with his seventh-inning grand slam, giving Houston its first lead of the game. However, Minnesota eventually prevailed after the game went to an extra frame. Altuve missed the first seven weeks of the campaign after fracturing his thumb in the World Baseball Classic, but he hasn't missed a beat upon his return. He's hit safely in seven straight games and is slashing .355/.444/.645 with two homers, six RBI and seven runs overall through 36 plate appearances.

Slightly southeast of Denver on the Colorado Front Range, the West Bijou Creek meanders through a 7600 acres located on the K-T Boundary. According to the National Park Service the site "contains some of the most scientifically important evidence associated with the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary [formerly known as the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) boundary]. The K-Pg boundary at the West Bijou Site is unique due to its palynological extinction level, fern-spore spike, iridium anomaly and shocked quartz, Cretaceous and Paleogene (Tertiary) vertebrate fossils, magnetostratigraphy, and radiometric dating. Bisecting the site, West Bijou Creek, maintains a natural hydrologic pattern, flowing through a mosaic of upland and riparian shortgrass prairie plant communities, supporting a diversity of common and rare plant and wildlife species. West Bijou Site provides an excellent example of a valuable geologic resource located within a natural shortgrass prairie ecosystem."

Pressly blew a save against the Twins on Monday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out two batters in one inning. Pressly got the ninth inning with Houston up 5-4 but couldn't protect the lead. He struck out two of the first three batters he faced but yielded a game-tying single to rookie Royce Lewis with two outs. The blown save was the first for Pressly in 11 chances this season, and Monday marked just the second time he's allowed the opponent to score over his past 17 outings. With those numbers in mind, Pressly's role as Houston's closer remains very secure despite the stumble.

With the latest round of realignment having slowed to a crawl after a tumultuous two years, it appears as it may be close to picking up steam again. Colorado has been in "substantive" talks with the Big 12 about possibly joining the growing league, a source with knowledge of the discussions tells CBS Sports.

Los Angeles, CA

The Los Angeles Lakers have had LeBron James for five years now. In those five seasons, they've had five completely distinct rosters. There is not a single player left from the young team he joined in 2018, with Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and Josh Hart all departing in the Anthony Davis trade. The 2020 championship team was torn down before it got a chance to defend its title, and when the replacements got knocked out in the first round, the Lakers panicked and traded for Russell Westbrook. It wasn't until February that they truly extricated themselves from the Westbrook nightmare, and that has put them in a relatively unique position heading into the 2023 offseason, at least by their own standards.

The Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat are just one day away from battling it out in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. And while most of the focus has been on this current iteration of these two teams, the mind can't help but wander back to a heated meeting between Denver and Miami last season. It involved Nikola Jokic getting suspended, Jimmy Butler yelling at Denver's bench to "bring that s--- to the back" and a now infamous picture of Heat players waiting outside Denver's locker room due to the in-game altercation.
