Sophie Cunningham calls out Skip Bayless over Caitlin Clark injury take: ‘That’s literally bulls***’

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham fired back at Skip Bayless over his take regarding Caitlin Clark’s injury. The former ESPN and FOX Sports host speculated Clark was taking “mental breaks” and saying she is dealing with an injury.

Cunningham addressed those comments on her Show Me Something podcast. She called Bayless’ remarks “bullshit” and said no one on the Fever is lying about Clark’s status.

Clark has been dealing with a groin injury this year and aggravated it just before the All-Star Break. She hasn’t played since July 15 as she works her way back, and Bayless speculated she was taking a break from the “cheap shots” she faced on the court. Cunningham emphatically pushed back against that idea.

“Dude, that’s literally bullshit,” Cunningham said. “No one’s lying. … Here’s the thing. When you’re an elite level player, you not being able to play is the hardest part – mentally, physically, emotionally. It’s not playing.

“When you’re playing is when it’s part of it. You’re built for that. When people say stuff like that, I’m just like, ‘Just shut up, bud.’”

Fever coach Stephanie White said this week the hope is Clark returns to the court before the end of the regular season. Indiana has nine games remaining and is still one of the top eight teams in the WNBA, putting the franchise in position for a playoff appearance.

However, Clark isn’t just dealing with a groin injury. FieldHouseFiles’ Scott Agnes reported the former Iowa star is also dealing with a bone bruise in her left ankle. She reportedly suffered the injury during an August workout in Phoenix.

The Indianapolis Star’s Chloe Peterson reported it’s a “mild” injury for Clark. While also provided an update Wednesday, saying things are still “status quo” with her star guard’s status.

“Until she can get into practice, and until you guys see her in practice, it’s really status quo, same as same as we have been,” White said.

WWE legend Trish Stratus announces death of mom after battle with cancer

WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus (real name Patricia Stratigeas) announced on Wednesday that her mother, Alice, has passed away after a battle with cancer.

Stratus announced on X/Twitter on Aug. 6 that she would have to miss an autograph signing in Wales due to her mother’s condition. Just a week later, Alice unfortunately lost her life to the terrible disease.

“My mama is gone. I don’t even know how to write this… she passed last week and I haven’t been able to find the words,” Status wrote on Instagram on Wednesday. “It’s as if writing the words makes it more real that my best friend, my safe place, my go-to, the one who was there for every single moment of my life, showing up for me in ways that no one else ever could for every milestone, every heartbreak, every joy – is gone. She was always there and now she won’t be.”

“You’ve all seen her by my side – cheering me on from the crowd, along for my travels, exceeding expectations as a Nana – practically a second mom to my children. My kids only know a life where their Nana was always there. Explaining to them that she won’t be there anymore was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do.”

“She fought through so many battles in her life with a strength that amazed me, and even in her hardest days, she was still thinking of everyone else first. That was my mama – selfless, brave, and full of love.”

“My heart feels broken in a way I can’t describe. Life will never feel the same. I can’t imagine my world without her… not being able to pick up the phone to hear her voice, her advice, her laugh. People have told me time will heal but right now it just feels like a piece of me will be missing forever and I will never feel whole again.”

“My only solace is that I will carry her in everything I do and mama, I promise your grandkids will never forget the incredible woman their Nana was.”

“Thank you for loving me so fiercely, for shaping me into who I am, and for showing me what it means to be resilient. You are my literal fighting spirit and dammit, I’m gonna miss you so much!”

Prayers to the Stratigeas family as they deal with this tragedy.

Dodgers will make some lineup changes Wednesday and Thursday

Miguel Rojas will start at shortstop Wednesday. (Gina Ferazzi / Los Angeles Times)

With the Dodgers in the midst of a stretch that will see them play a season-HIGH 19 games without a day off, manager Dave Roberts rested shortstop Mookie Betts on Wednesday and started Miguel Rojas in his place.

Shohei Ohtani, who was in Wednesday’s lineup as the starting pitching and designated hitter, is expected to sit out Thursday’s series finale, and outfielder Teoscar Hernández and catcher Will Smith probably will as well.

Relievers Kirby Yates and Tanner Scott both threw hitless innings in rehab appearances with triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday. Yates struck out one and gave up a walk, while Scott walked a batter and struck out two. Both could rejoin the Dodgers this weekend in San Diego, Roberts said.

Utility player Kiké Hernández, on the injured list since July 7 with left elbow inflammation, was expected to make his first rehab start Wednesday.

Before Wednesday’s game, the Dodgers also recalled right-hander Paul Gervase from Oklahoma City and optioned right-handed Alexis Diaz. Gervase, 25, acquired from Tampa Bay at the trade deadline, appeared in five games with the Rays this season, striking out six batters in 6.1 innings.

Díaz, 28, was 1-0 with a 5.00 ERA in nine games for the Dodgers. A former National League all-star, he was acquired on May 29 from the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for minor league pitcher Mike Villani.

Mets’ Brandon Nimmo exits Wednesday’s game vs. Nationals with neck stiffness

Mets left fielder Brandon Nimmo exited Wednesday’s game against the Nationals.

After playing the field in the first inning, Nimmo took his at-bat and grounded into an inning-ending double play. 

Starling Marte replaced Nimmo in the field in the top of the second with what the Mets call neck stiffness.

Nimmo’s neck stiffness is a recurring ailment for the veteran outfielder, who was pulled from a late May game against the Dodgers for the same reason. 

After that game in May, Nimmo gave background on his neck issues.

“It’s from 2019 when I ran into the wall and we’ve been really good with the training staff and myself about keeping it under control and at bay,” Nimmo said at the time. “Sometimes with the travel and just everything, it pops its ugly head and it takes a few days to deal with it.”

 

Basketball at 2028 Los Angeles Olympics to tip off two days before opening ceremony

Basketball is going to get a head start at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

FIBA — the international basketball governing body that oversees Olympic basketball — announced this week that the revised schedule for the event has the first games on July 12, two days before the July 14 Opening Ceremonies.

“This adjustment allows the Quarter-Finals to be played over two days and will also ensure that no game will start earlier than 12:00 PM, enhancing the overall experience for players, teams, fans and broadcasters,” FIBA said in a statement announcing the change.

What was not announced is whether this change impacts the men’s or women’s tournaments, or both. Those tournaments are made up of a dozen men’s and women’s teams — who qualify for the Olympics via results at the World Cup as well as qualifying tournaments — and those tournaments will run through the gold medal games on July 29 and 30 (July 30 is the final day of the Los Angeles Olympics). All the basketball games are scheduled to be played at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, the home of the Los Angeles Clippers.

The USA is the defending gold medalists for both the men (who have won five Olympic golds in a row) and women (the eight-time Olympic defending champions).

Phillies’ rotation, bats respond to Zack Wheeler IL news in historic fashion during sweep of Mariners

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitcher Zack Wheeler landed on the injured list Saturday. On Monday, he successfully underwent a thrombolysis procedure to remove a blood clot near his right shoulder.

In the three games since that operation, the NL East-leading Phillies have responded to losing their ace indefinitely in historic fashion.

Starting pitchers Ranger Suárez, Cristopher Sánchez and Jesús Luzardo combined for 34 strikeouts. Meanwhile, the Phillies’ lineup collected 48 hits across a series sweep of the Seattle Mariners.

Philadelphia has won four games in a row dating to Sunday’s series finale against the Washington Nationals, and the Phillies have scored 40 runs in that span.

This marks the first time Phillies starting pitchers have recorded at least 10 strikeouts in three straight games since at least 1893, when the mound was moved to its current distance, according to MLB.com’s Sarah Langs, who cited Elias Sports. 

Suárez, who notably notched a 1.36 ERA over a 10-start stretch from May 16 to July 5 before some recent struggles, stacked a season-high 10 Ks to begin the series against the AL West-contending Mariners. Then both Sánchez and Luzardo pocketed 12 strikeouts. In the process, Sánchez — an NL Cy Young candidate like Wheeler — matched his season high, and Luzardo reset his mark. 

The Phillies’ bats accounted for 21 hits in a 12-7 win Monday, seven more in a 6-4 triumph Tuesday and then 20 more in an 11-2 shelling of the Mariners on Wednesday.

For the first time in the modern era, the Phillies had two games in the same series with 20-plus hits, according to The Athletic’s Jayson Stark.

Wednesday’s offensive clinic was headlined by shortstop Trea Turner, who scattered five hits, and designated hitter Kyle Schwarber, who delivered his NL-leading 45th home run and logged five RBI.

Schwarber’s 45 homers are the most by any Phillies player through the team’s first 127 games in a season in franchise history, per Langs, who noted that Ryan Howard had 44 in the same span during the 2006 season, and Mike Schmidt had 39 through 127 games of the 1979 season.

Wheeler’s recovery timeline is unknown. There’s a very real scenario in which the Phillies have to push for their first World Series title since 2008 without their top arm. 

But a rotation that was previously prepared to go six deep is already flexing its depth in Wheeler’s absence. And the Phillies’ lineup is roaring with offense as the MLB calendar rounds into the home stretch.

All the Biggest Announcements From This Year’s ‘Made by Google’

Like other big tech events, Made by Google is supposed to be Google’s chance to show off its latest hardware to the public. Made by Google 2025, however, didn’t really feel like that. Instead, the event focused more on its celebrity roster (host Jimmy Fallon, Alex Cooper, Steph Curry, the Jonas Brothers, etc.) and less on the actual devices and features.

Still, the company did formally announce a slate of new devices and showed off some new features here and there. But most of the official announcements came via press releases on Google’s blog The Keyword. Between the event and the blogs, here are the biggest announcements you missed:

Pixel 10

Google’s flagship smartphone lineup is official. You have your choice between Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL You’ll notice that each has an updated camera bar, particularly the Pixel 10.

The base-model Pixel 10 comes in four colors: Obsidian, Frost, Indigo, and Lemongrass. It has a 6.3-inch Actua display, which can reach 3,000 nits of brightness, as well as “improved” audio. There are also camera upgrades here, as this is the first base-model Pixel to come with three cameras. That includes a 5x telephoto lens, which Google says has 10x optical quality or 20x zoom via Super Res Zoom.

The Pro, on the other hand, comes with a Super Actua display, which you can get in two sizes: 6.3-inch (Pixel 10 Pro) or 6.8-inches (Pixel 10 Pro XL). These come in four colors each: Obsidian, Porcelain, Moonstone, and Jade. These phones come with Pro Res Zoom, which reaches up to 100x zoom using generative AI. Google says the Pros feature the “biggest batteries, upgraded speakers, 16 GB of RAM and faster wired charging.” Pixel 10 Pro XL also supports 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging.

Pixel 10 devices run the Tensor G5 chip, Google’s latest SoC (system on chip). Google says this chip’s TPU (the processor responsible for handling AI content) is up to 60% faster than Pixel 9, which enables on-device AI for quite a few features, including Magic Cue, Voice Translate, Call Notes with actions, and Personal Journal. The chip also powers AI camera features, like Add Me, Auto Best Take, and Pro Res Zoom, and helps all Pixel 10 devices reach 30 hours of battery life.

All Pixel 10 devices will be the first Pixel phones to support Google’s Material 3 Expressive design language, and come with Pixelsnap, the company’s MagSafe competitor. Google says the Pixel 10 line will have 7 years of Pixel Drops and OS and security updates.

Pixel Pro 10 Fold

Pixel Pro 10 Fold is Google’s latest foldable, and it comes with one key Pixel 10 perk: the Tensor G5 chip.

But the foldable improves over the Pixel 9 Pro Fold in a few ways: It has an IP68 rating, which makes it quite dust and water resistant. That should help keep debris out of its hinges and expand the lifespan of the device. The displays are also more durable, with Google going so far as to say the device can handle 10 years of folding. The inner display is the largest ever on a foldable according to Google, at 8 inches even. The outer display is larger than the Pixel 9 Pro Fold at 6.4 inches. Both can reach 3,000 nits.

The battery can last more than 30 hours, and the Fold can charge to 50% in 30 minutes. It also supports Qi2 wireless charging, including support for Pixelsnap. The Fold also comes with a 48MP camera as part of the triple camera setup.

Pixel Watch 4

Pixel Watch 4 is actually quite the upgrade. The watch now features a domed display, which offers a 10% larger active screen than Pixel Watch 3. The display is also 50% brighter than Pixel Watch 3, reaching up to 3,000 nits. Pixel Watch 4 has a Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 chip, and a “next-gen ML-powered co-processor” that is 25% faster than Pixel Watch 3’s, according to Google.

Like Pixel 10, Pixel Watch 4 runs Material 3 Expressive, and comes with both a stronger haptic engine and a louder speaker. Watch 4 has 30 hours of battery life on the 41mm model, and 40 hours on the 45mm model. Battery Saver mode extends that two or three days, respectively. There’s also a new Quick Charge Dock that charges 25% more quickly than the previous dock.

What I think is really cool, however, is that Pixel Watch 4 is inherently repairable. Both the display and the battery are easily serviceable, which should help extend the lifespan of many Watch 4s.

If you pick up the LTE Watch 4 model, you’ll have access to emergency satellite communications. Google says this is a first on any smartwatch, and makes sense, considering the expansion of satellite communications on smartphones.

There are also a bunch of health and fitness features rolling out on this watch, including better sleep tracking, upgraded skin temperature sensing, more accurate route tracking, real-time biking stats, exercise modes like pickleball and basketball, and automatic workout tracking, which tracks workouts when you forget to start one. Gemini can also give you health and fitness advice, which Google calls a “health coach.” I’d exercise caution with any health advice offered by a robot.

Pixel Buds 2a

Pixel Buds 2a are the successors to the Pixel Buds A-Series, Google’s “affordable” earbud line. They sport a “twist to adjust” feature, that lets you twist the buds to fit them to your ear. The Tensor A1 supports Active Noise Cancellation, a first for the A-Series, as well as an improved audio performance. Google says Pixel Buds 2a support 7 hours of listening and over 20 hours with the charging case.

Gemini Live

Gemini Live is Google’s AI assistant that has access to both your camera and screen to “see” your surroundings. The idea is to let the AI understand what’s going on, so it can better answer your questions.

There are a number of new Gemini Live features coming down the pike. Gemini Live will be able to highlight items in your camera feed, and provide answers and results based on what it sees. Gemini Live will also connect to other Google apps, so you can ask it to help you with things like Google Calendar and Google Tasks.

Edit photos by asking

Google Photos has a new AI-powered feature that lets you simply ask the app to edit the image. Google showed this off during the event with podcaster Alex Cooper, with a picture Cooper took of herself and Jimmy Fallon. She asked Google Photos to edit the framing and the lighting of the image, and, after some processing, the app did adjust both elements.

This is one that will definitely need hands-on testing to determine how well it really works, but the idea of using natural language commands to make quick edits to photos is certainly interesting.

Camera Coach and Auto Best Take

When your Pixel gets Camera Coach, you’ll see tips appear in your camera feed for different ways you could frame a shot. When you choose a trip, the app provide instructions on how to make the shot happen. It’s a cool idea in theory, but only if it really does offer advice for improving technique.

Auto Best Take, on the other hand, will automatically take a group shot when it thinks everyone is looking at the camera. If someone wasn’t, or was blinking, Google wants you using the existing Best Take feature to blend the best parts of multiple takes together.

Magic Cue

Magic Cue might be the closest Google has come to agentic AI yet. The feature attempts to provide information and run tasks on your behalf based on the context of your situation. For example, if your friend asks you when your flight is landing, Magic Cue may find your travel itinerary and pull up the details for you. Then, you tap Magic Cue, and it will load those details in the conversation.

AI-powered calling features

By far, my favorite moment of the event was Google’s AI voice cloning and translation tool. The company already offers live translation, which can translate a caller speaking in another language on the fly. But now, the feature clones that person’s voice, too, so you hear that person speaking in your target language.

In addition, Google is also introducing Take a Message, which produces real-time transcripts for people leaving messages when you miss or decline a call.

These Are the Best Preorder Deals on the New Pixel 10

The new Google Pixel 10 phones are official, and if you’ve been won over by the on-board Magic Cue assistant, the updated Tensor G5 chipset, the enhanced photo editing, or any of the other new features, you don’t have to wait too long. Preorders are now open for all four phones, with shipping scheduled for next Thursday, August 28 for the Pixel 10, the Pixel 10 Pro, and the Pixel 10 Pro XL. You’ll have to hang on a little longer for the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which won’t ship until Thursday, Oct. 9.

I’ve had a careful look across the web, and these are the best places to get your preorders in, if you’re ready to join the Pixel 10 club.

Google

This is the obvious place to go if you want a Pixel phone, and Google’s very proud of its new phone series. It’s also offering trade-in deals for your existing phone: $400 for a Pixel 9, for example, or $550 for an iPhone 16. Check the site to get a value for your handset.

You also get some Google Store credit with these phones: $100 for the Pixel 10, $200 for the Pixel 10 Pro or Pixel 10 Pro XL, and $350 for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. This deal is available until Sept. 4.

Amazon

The Pixel 10 phone series is available over on Amazon as well—although the Pixel 10 Pro Fold took a little longer to show up. There are no trade-in offers here, but watch out for special discounts over time.

For a limited time, Amazon is bundling gift cards with these phones: $100 with the Pixel 10, $200 with the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL, and $300 with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The offer runs until Sept. 4.

Best Buy

All of these Pixel 10 handsets can be picked up at Best Buy too, and you can take advantage of trade-ins: Depending on what phone you’re buying and what you’re trading in, you can get up to $760 back on your purchase.

There are bundled gift cards here as well, matching Google’s credit: $100 for the Pixel 10, $200 for the Pixel 10 Pro or Pixel 10 Pro XL, and $350 for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The site listings don’t mention any expiry date for the deals either.

AT&T

You can also preorder these Google handsets through your carrier of choice too, though not all of the same storage options are available. AT&T customers can get the Pixel 10 Pro or 10 Pro XL for free, with an eligible Pixel to trade-in—provided you’re on a plan exceeding $76 per month.

It’s worth noting that AT&T will charge you a little more than the rest if you pay up front.

Verizon

If you’re on Verizon’s Unlimited Ultimate line, you can claim a whopping $1,000 back on the Pixel 10 Pro XL or the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, or get the Pixel 10 Pro for free, by trading in a qualifying handset made by Google, Samsung, Motorola, or Apple.

At the time of writing, Verizon is the only carrier selling the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.

T-Mobile

For T-Mobile, there are trade-in offers for those on its Experience Beyond plan: Specifically, you can get a free Pixel 10 Pro or $1,000 off a Pixel Pro XL, though you’ll need to go through the process to check you’ve got an eligible handset that T-Mobile wants.

Xfinity Mobile

Finally, there’s Xfinity Mobile. The trade-in offers available here include up to $1,000 for those on Premium Unlimited or Unlimited Premium Flex plans, depending on your current device—which may even cover the whole cost of the Pixel 10 and the Pixel 10 Pro.

You Can Finally Replace the Batteries on These New Pixel Devices

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

Smartphones haven’t had a great track record with repairability, but following legal pressure in regions like the EU and states like Oregon, that’s been steadily improving in recent years. Smaller devices, like smartwatches and earbuds, have had more trouble on this front, but now Google’s looking to change that.

In the past, if your earbuds case or smartwatch suddenly stopped charging, you simply had no choice but to either buy a new one or send it in to be repaired in-house. There simply wasn’t an easy way for companies to make the batteries on these devices user-replaceable and also keep them as thin and light as consumers expect.

With the Pixel Buds 2a and Pixel Watch 4, however, Google’s bucking that trend. Thanks to some clever design, the batteries on both of these devices are replaceable, and you can even replace the screen on the Pixel Watch.

Let’s start with the Pixel Buds 2a. If your case suddenly stops charging your earbuds, you have a few options. Like before, if you’re under warranty, you can simply send it in to Google or take it to a Google Store to have them fix it for free (and if you’re out of warranty, you can still do that, but you’ll have to pay). But now, you can also buy replacement parts directly from Google. They’re not quite available yet, as the buds are still on pre-order, and Google hasn’t yet said how much a replacement battery will cost (I’ll check, but don’t expect an answer). But it’ll certainly be cheaper than getting a whole new case, and Google says it promises to keep selling replacement batteries until five years after end of life (whenever Google decides the device is obsolete, likely several years from now) for the Pixel Buds 2a.

The company’s also done its best to ensure replacement is easy. There are small screws at the bottom of the earbud wells, and you’ll simply need to remove them and slide out the interior of the case to find the battery compartment and swap out your dead battery for a new one. The only complaint I have is that the screws aren’t Phillips-head or flat, but instead require a Torx screwdriver, which is a bit less common. Presumably, Google will sell the required screwdriver alongside its battery repair parts, but I’ve reached out to double check and will update this post when I hear back.

At any rate, it’s certainly an improvement on years past. Check the green sticker on the above photo to see where the battery compartment actually is—you’ll just need to slide it out to finish your repair.

The same rules apply for the Pixel Watch 4, except you’ll be able to swap out that device’s screen, too. You’ll also need a Torx screwdriver here, but Google confirmed to me that there’s no adhesive or heat involved, and a spokesperson estimated that it would take about 30 to 40 minutes to replace both the battery and screen, if you’re doing all your repairs at once.

The catch? On the Pixel Buds 2a, the earbuds themselves do not have replaceable batteries, but this is still a far cry from anything we’ve gotten from other major manufacturers like Apple. Google threw a lot of shade at Apple during its Made by Google event today, mostly over the competition’s slow adoption of AI. But if you ask me, this is what the Android maker should be most proud of today.
