The U.S. Men's National Team kicked off its 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign on home turf at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California with a dominant 4-1 win over Paraguay. It's the first time in 32 years that the U.S. is hosting the World Cup, this time as one of three host nations alongside Canada and Mexico.  

The U.S. men's team made it to the Round of 16 in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. 

This year's U.S. team roster includes a mix of World Cup veterans and first-timers, with many players who have experience in top European leagues. They'll have home field advantage and enjoy a growing fan base across the country.

"You're playing for 330 million people. That's a big deal. There's added responsibility, added eyes. But at the same time, it's the ultimate goal, the ultimate honor," U.S. team captain Tim Ream told CBS News. 

"I have no doubt that we could potentially win," he said.

The U.S. is in Group D and will play at least three games in the group stage in June. Their opponents and schedule are as follows: 

• June 12: The U.S. defeated Paraguay 4-1 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California
• June 19: The U.S. defeated Australia 2-0 at Seattle's Lumen Field
• June 25: The U.S. lost to Turkey 3-2 at SoFi. 

Next comes the knockout stage, which begins June 28. The top two teams from each group — plus the eight third-place teams with the most points — advance to the round of 32. 

The U.S. team, as Group D winner, will play on July 1 at 8 p.m. ET in Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The round of 16 will be held from July 4 to July 7, and the quarterfinals will take place from July 9 to July 10. 

The semifinals will take place July 14, and the World Cup final will be on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. 

Overall, the World Cup will feature 48 teams and 104 matches over 39 days.

Tatsuya Imai struck out 10 in six scoreless innings and Taylor Trammell homered to lead the Houston Astros to a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Thursday night.

Imai (5-3) allowed two hits and a walk and threw 63 of his 96 pitches for strikes in the opener of the four-game series. AJ Blubaugh struck out three in two innings, and Enyel De Los Santos gave up Dillon Dingler's 19th home run in the ninth on the way to his fifth save.

Detroit starter Troy Melton took a perfect game into the sixth inning before Trammell hit a one-out, 0-1 pitch 422 feet to right field for his second home run and a 1-0 lead.

Jeremy Peña singled leading off the ninth against Kenley Jansen and then stole second. Peña took third on a groundout by Yordan Alvarez and scored on a sacrifice fly by Isaac Paredes for an insurance run for Houston.

Melton (4-1) allowed one run on two hits with six strikeouts in six innings for the Tigers, who have lost three straight.

Riley Greene's two-out single off Imai in the fourth was the first hit by either team against the rookie starters.

Houston (40-43) has won three in a row and seven of its last nine to close within two games of the first-place Mariners in the AL West.

The Astros won two of three games in Houston against the Tigers earlier this month.

Astros RHP Spencer Arrighetti (7-3, 3.13 ERA) starts Friday opposite Tigers RHP Keider Montero (3-5, 3.68).

The Phoenix Mercury's Alyssa Thomas has received a flagrant foul penalty and been suspended for one game after hitting Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark in the throat during a game Wednesday night, the WNBA said Thursday. 

The hit happened with 6 minutes and 52 seconds left in the second quarter of the Fever-Mercury game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Thomas' fist made contact with Clark's throat while the two scrambled for the ball.  

In the moment, no foul was called by referees, which Fever coach Stephanie White called "egregious" in comments after the game. 

"The fact that it was a no-call … You got to call it," White said, adding that the lack of a foul in the moment was "absolutely unacceptable."

The WNBA's League Office can review any game and assign a flagrant foul, or reclassify a called foul as a flagrant foul, if they believe such measures are warranted. The WNBA's review "deemed (Thomas) to have committed a non-basketball act" by recklessly making contact with Clark's throat. 

The WNBA said that Thomas will serve her suspension on Saturday, June 27, when the Mercury play the Toronto Tempos at home. 

"Player safety should be paramount in our league," Indiana Fever President Kelly Krauskopf said in a statement posted to social media. "We appreciate the WNBA's review of last night's incident and the action taken. Right now our focus is on Caitlin and our entire team as we prepare for Saturday." 

This isn't the first time the league has upgraded a foul against Clark. Last season, Marina Mabrey, playing for the Connecticut Sun at the time, was called for a technical foul in a game against Indiana. The league later upgraded it to a Flagrant 2.

Clark was also fouled while shooting a 3-pointer later in the second quarter. She fell to the ground after the shot and was seen grabbing her back as she got back up. That foul was not upgraded to a flagrant. Clark eventually left the game during the third quarter, after scoring 19 points and racking up eight assists in 20 minutes of play. The Mercury went on to win 111-109. 

Clark has a history of back issues, including missing a game against the Portland Fire in May because of it, according to CBS Sports. Clark was limited to 13 games last season due to lower-body issues. 

The Mercury and the Fever also played on Monday night, a game during which there were six technical fouls called and one ejection. Clark picked up her fifth technical of the season in that game. The team petitioned the league to have it rescinded, but the WNBA confirmed that the technical will stand. 

Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold is in custody after turning himself in to authorities in Florida, facing multiple felony charges connected to an alleged violent robbery and kidnapping earlier this year.

Arnold, who is charged with four counts of kidnapping and four counts of armed robbery, made his first appearance in a Tampa courtroom Thursday. A judge ordered the 23-year-old Tallahassee, Florida, native to be held without bond. 

According to Tampa police, the case dates back to Feb. 4. 

Florida state prosecutors allege that Arnold coordinated and directed his codefendants to lure three men to an apartment where the men were robbed, beaten and held at gunpoint. 

Prosecutors say Arnold believed the three victims stole more than $200,000 worth of personal items during a stay in his short-term rental property. There is no evidence that the three men were involved in the theft, according to prosecutors. 

Authorities allege Arnold played a central role in the incident, accusing him of coordinating suspects and directing the attack. Police say evidence includes group chats and livestreamed video that investigators believe tie Arnold to the crime.

"No one has the right to take the law into their own hands. A dispute over missing property does not justify kidnapping, violence, or retaliation. This arrest is the result of months of investigative work and collaboration between the Tampa Police Department and our prosecutors. We will continue to pursue justice for the three victims by holding everyone accountable for their roles in this crime," said State Attorney Suzy Lopez.  

Arnold's codefendants, Boakai Hilton, Lyndell Hudson, Freddie Lee Hughes III and Christion Williams, are currently being held without bond. Two other codefendants, Arianna Del Valle and Jasmine Randazzo, pleaded guilty to their part in the crime on June 24, according to Florida prosecutors. 

Randazzo was sentenced to four years in a Florida prison and six years of probation. Del Valle will be sentenced at a later date. 

Reaction among Lions fans in Detroit has ranged from shock to disappointment.

"You just don't expect it out of Terrion," said fan Mitchell McNitt. "Honestly, he was one of the last people I'd ever expect to get in trouble."

Another fan, Keith Woolfolk, urged patience as the legal process unfolds.

"I think that's sad because he's a very good player and he's young," Woolfolk said. "I think they should let the justice system have its due process before we pass judgment."

The arrest comes as the Lions prepare for the upcoming season. Training camp at the Meijer Performance Center in Allen Park runs through August 19, with the NFL regular season set to begin September 9.

Arnold has also been active in the Detroit community and was scheduled to host a youth football camp in Auburn Hills on July 10. CBS News Detroit reached out to ProCamps, the organization hosting the event, but had not received a response as of publication.

In a brief statement, the Detroit Lions said they are aware of the matter and will not comment out of respect for the ongoing legal process.

Arnold's representatives at EAG Sports Management strongly deny the allegations. In a statement, the agency said Arnold "categorically denies any involvement" and criticized the government's case, saying it relies on testimony from multiple convicted felons who may have incentives to shift blame.

Arnold returns to court on June 29 for a pretrial detention hearing. 

Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold was taken into custody and is facing charges in connection with a robbery and kidnapping case in Florida earlier this year, police say.

According to the Tampa Police Department, Arnold turned himself in on Wednesday at Orient Road Jail in Hillsborough County. Police say Arnold faces four counts of kidnapping and four counts of armed robbery.

The Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office, which will file the felony charges, says they carry a potential life sentence. 

Arnold was selected by the Lions in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft. CBS News Detroit reached out to the Lions, which said it was aware of the case and declined to comment "out of respect for the ongoing legal process."    

Arnold's name was first brought up in the case in February after 23-year-old Boakai Hilton, who is believed to be an associate of Arnold, Arianna Del Valle, Jasmine Randazzo, Christion Williams, Lyndell Hudson and Freddie Hughes were arrested for allegedly kidnapping and assaulting three men in their late teens.

Tampa police allege that Arnold suspected two of the three men were involved in a robbery on Feb. 1 at an Airbnb that he was renting in Largo, totaling a $250,000 loss. Police say Arnold, Hilton, Hughes and another person reported the theft to authorities on Feb. 3. But hours later, Arnold and Hilton allegedly orchestrated the plot to lure the three victims to an apartment in retaliation. 

Documents obtained by CBS News Detroit in March showed a series of text messages allegedly from the suspects. Arnold did not appear to be a recipient of the messages, but records showed that one of the suspects instructed another to reach out to the victims to meet up, saying, "rn thts it," followed by "thts wht terrion said." 

Court documents allege that after the men arrived at the apartment, they were beaten, and Hilton instructed the suspects to take their phones in an attempt to get them to admit that they were involved in the robberies at Arnold's Airbnb. However, Tampa police say there was no evidence showing that the victims were responsible for the robberies. 

Court documents also labeled Del Valle as Arnold's "girlfriend," but Arnold's attorney, Tim Jansen, said that was false.

Although court documents did not show that Hilton was involved in the actual attack, one of the victims identified him when he eventually arrived at the apartment.  

Records show that Hilton, Del Valle, Randazzo, Williams, Hudson and Hughes face multiple charges, including robbery, kidnapping, conspiracy to kidnap and conspiracy to commit a robbery. Williams and Hudson were also charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

Del Valle and Randazzo pleaded guilty.

Denise White, CEO and founder of EAG Sports Management, released the following statement on Wednesday night:

"Terrion Arnold categorically denies any involvement in the matters underlying the allegations made against him and maintains his innocence.

"There is no credible evidence linking Mr. Arnold to these allegations. Instead, the government appears to be relying on testimony from multiple convicted felons who have admitted their own involvement and may have substantial incentives to shift blame in an effort to lessen their sentences.

"Mr. Arnold looks forward to his day in court and is confident that the judicial process will lead to his ultimate vindication."

Paul Goldschmidt had two home runs and Jasson Domínguez hit a go-ahead, two-run shot in the sixth inning off Tarik Skubal, lifting the New York Yankees to a 4-2 series-winning victory over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night.

Skubal (3-4) tied a career high by giving up three home runs, allowing that many in a game for the first time since 2021. The two-time reigning Cy Young Award winner gave up only one other hit, didn't walk a batter and had nine strikeouts over six innings.

Ryan Weathers (3-5) allowed two runs — one earned — six hits and walked two while striking out six in six innings.

Yerry De los Santos and Fernando Cruz combined for two innings of relief and David Bednar pitched the ninth for his 16th save.

Skubal got off to a rough start with three straight balls and Goldschmidt took advantage, hitting a 3-1 high fastball over the left-field wall.

In Goldschmidt's next at-bat in the third, he hit a hanging curveball to left center for his 13th homer — three more than he had last season — just after Skubal had an injury scare. Skubal appeared to hurt his groin while pitching to Max Schuemann, but stayed in the game.

After giving up a second homer to Goldschmidt, the 2024 pitching Triple Crown winner retired nine straight — striking out seven of them — before Ben Rice hit a single and Dominguez followed with a full-count, two-out homer to make it 4-2.

Yankees: Open a four-game series Thursday night at Boston with RHP Cam Schlittler (8-3, 1.71 ERA) expected to face Red Sox LHP Connelly Early (6-5, 3.64).

Tigers: RHP Troy Melton (4-0, 2.56) and Houston RHP Tatsuya Imai (4-3, 6.15) the are probable starters Thursday night in Detroit.

The Detroit Pistons have reportedly traded center-forward Isaiah Stewart on Wednesday to the Memphis Grizzlies.

The trade was first reported by ESPN's Shams Charania, who says Detroit will get three future second-round picks in exchange.

The trade comes during Round 2 of the 2026 NBA draft. On Tuesday, the Pistons traded up from No. 21 to No. 17 to acquire Stanford guard Ebuka Okorie. Detroit only had one pick in the first round and none in the second.

The team has not yet commented on Stewart's trade.

The 25-year-old, who received the nickname "Beef Stew," was drafted 16th overall by the Portland Trail Blazers in 2020 before he was traded to the Pistons that year. In the 2025 season, he played in 58 games, averaging about 22.7 minutes per game, shooting about 55% from the field, and averaging five rebounds per game.

During his time with the Pistons, he was known for getting into altercations with opposing players, most recently in February 2026, when he was suspended for seven games following a fight with the Charlotte Hornets.

Yaxel Lendeborg, the University of Michigan star and South Jersey native, was selected 11th overall by the Golden State Warriors in the 2026 NBA Draft Tuesday night.

Lendeborg, who was named the Big Ten Player of the Year, played a key role on a Wolverines team that won the 2026 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. 

Who is Yaxel Lendeborg?

Lendeborg, 23, transferred to Michigan for the 2025-26 season and led the Wolverines in scoring with 15.6 points in 40 games, including 39 starts. He also shot 37% on 3-pointers and averaged 6.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 steals. 

At Michigan, Lendeborg was named a consensus First-Team All-American, First-Team All-Big Ten and to the Big Ten All-Defensive Team. 

In the NCAA tournament, Lendeborg became the first Michigan player to score at least 20 points in three straight tournament games since Juwan Howard in 1994. Lendeborg was named the Midwest Region MVP in March Madness and helped the Wolverines beat UConn in the championship to win their first title since 1989.

Before Michigan, Lendeborg spent two seasons at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and another at Arizona Western in junior college. In the 2024-25 season at UAB, Lendeborg averaged a double-double with 17.7 points and 11.4 rebounds.

Lendeborg went to Pennsauken High School in Camden County, but only spent part of his senior year playing for the school's basketball team. He was cut in his freshman year for poor grades, missed his sophomore and junior seasons, then became eligible for 11 games his senior year. The team won 10 of the 11 games he played. 

Lendeborg comes from a family of athletes, with his parents both playing for the Dominican Republic's national basketball team.

Yaxel Lendeborg scouting report

CBS Sports had Lendeborg ranked as the 12th-best prospect in the 2026 NBA draft. 

Here are his strengths and weaknesses, according to CBS Sports: 

Strengths

• One of the most versatile two-way players in the draft with extreme measurables to match.
• Defensive switchability thanks to his fluid movement skills and 7-3-plus wingspan. Often guarded opposing point guards for Michigan and his stock numbers (3.5/game) were off the charts at UAB.
• Very good passer who can be a connector offensively, start the break himself, and has improved each year as a shooter, making 37% of his 3-pointers this season, including 45% when unguarded and even 38% off the dribble.

Weaknesses

• Older for the draft and will be 24 before he plays in his first NBA game, which some correlate with a lack of untapped upside.
• Very solid ball-handler for his size but more of a straight-line driver than dynamic creator or change of direction player.
• There are questions about maturity and focus, particularly away from the ball, on both ends of the floor.

It has been two weeks since a contentious Hamtramck City Council meeting sparked loud controversy when the council voted to fire City Manager Adel al-Adlani.

A few days later, Hamtramck Mayor Adam Alharbi announced a lawsuit against his own city council. On Tuesday, city leaders came together at the council meeting for the first time since that lawsuit was announced.

"I think what happened was out of hand, and our focus now forward is that we work together and make sure that we focus on the issues that matter to our residents," said Alharbi.

It was a seemingly normal city council meeting in Hamtramck on Tuesday night, a far cry from the last meeting two weeks ago, when a loud argument broke out after the council voted to remove al-Adlani. Alharbi and Councilman Nayeem Choudhury say the firing went against the city charter.

"Sometimes it doesn't go the way you want it; it turns out to go some other way," Choudhury said,   

CBS News Detroit attempted to speak with the city councilors who voted to fire the city manager, but none would speak. However, Hamtramck City Attorney Odey Meroueh explained why he believes what they did was legal.

"What they did is they suspended the rules of the resolution, which they have the power to do; they have the power to do it by two-thirds vote, as long as they have four votes, and they had five votes this time. Which means they're able to suspend the rules, which means they're able to add an agenda item even if normally they wouldn't be able to add an agenda item. And in this case, it was to terminate the city manager, but of course it was done by the rules and the lawsuit will bear that out," said Meroueh.

Alharbi says the lawsuit is still active, and even though Tuesday's meeting was far more cordial, residents still voiced their frustrations.

"I hope we have better candidates and people in the election next year so we can do better and move our city forward," said Motahar Fadal.

"There's been a lot of name-calling, trying to figure out what's really happening," Mohammed Alam said.

While Diane Frkan told CBS Detroit, "I wish we could have this at every council meeting, you know, respect and professionalism, it's just refreshing to see. There's no yelling, there's no screaming, and things get done." 

In a quick motion, the Detroit Pistons reportedly traded up from No. 21 to No. 17 to take Stanford guard Ebuka Okorie in the NBA draft on Tuesday.

Okorie flipped his commitment from Harvard to join Stanford for his freshman year in the 2025 season, becoming an Associated Press All-American honorable mention, the All-ACC first team and the ACC All-Rookie team. Before Stanford, he was named the Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of New Hampshire.

The 19-year-old averaged 23.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.7 steals in 35 minutes per game.

ESPN's Shams Charania first reported that the Pistons traded with the Grizzlies, sending forward Karim López, a Mexican player who last played for the New Zealand Breakers, to Memphis.

The cluster of trades involved the Pistons, Grizzlies and the Oklahoma City Thunder. According to Charania, the Grizzlies initially traded their No. 16 pick to the Thunder to select No. 17, then traded the 17th pick again with the Pistons to drop to No. 21.

According to CBS Sports, the Pistons packaged three second-round picks to nab Okorie. Detroit currently has no picks in Wednesday's second round.

Just months after winning their first NCAA championship title since 1989, the Michigan Wolverines celebrated several of their players who were selected in the 2026 NBA draft.

Here are the players who were selected:

Round 1

Morez Johnson Jr.

Sophomore Morez Johnson Jr. was selected ninth overall by the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. The 20-year-old forward played one season with Illinois before transferring to Michigan for the 2025 season. While at Michigan, she started in all 40 games, making him one of three Wolverines to do so. He averaged 13.1 points and 7.3 rebounds in 25 minutes per game.

The Illinois native was named to the All-Big Ten Defensive Team and the All-Big Ten second and third teams. He shot 62.3% from the field and posted nine double-doubles.

Johnson is set to be reunited with Michigan coach Dusty May, who will become the head coach of the Mavericks. May spent two seasons with the Wolverines, leading them to back-to-back championship appearances, beating UConn in April 2026 for the title.

Yaxel Lendeborg

Forward Yaxel Lendeborg was selected by the Golden State Warriors as the 11th overall pick in the first round of the draft. The 23-year-old forward started his college career at Arizona Western, where he played for three seasons. He transferred to the University of Alabama at Birmingham and played two seasons before he joined the Wolverines in the 2025 season.

The New Jersey native was named a Consensus All-American, as well as the Associated Press All-American first team and Big Ten Player of the Year.

Lendeborg played in all 40 games of the 2025 season, starting in 39, averaging a team-high 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 30 minutes per game. He shot 51.5% from the field and made 67 three-pointers.

After winning the 2026 NCAA Championship, Lendeborg held a sign that said, "SHOCK THE WORLD BOYS GO BLUE!" paying homage to the 1989 champions.

Aday Mara 

In a back-to-back pick, Michigan center Aday Mara was selected 12th overall by the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 21-year-old from Spain spent two seasons at UCLA before he transferred to Michigan. During the NCAA championship, Mara's parents traveled from Spain to experience March Madness in person.

Prior to playing college basketball in the U.S., Mara played in Spain, helping the team win two silver medals at the 2022 FIBA U17 World Cup and the 2023 U18 European Championship.

At Michigan, he earned the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and All-Big Ten third team. He played in all 40 games, starting in 39, and averaged 12 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 23 minutes per game. Mara posted five double-doubles and shot 66.8% from the field. He led the Big Ten in blocks per game, finishing sixth in the nation in blocks per game and third in total blocks.

Note: The video above originally aired on June 22, 2026.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered, drove in two runs and scored twice and the New York Yankees beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3 on Tuesday night.

Chisholm scored on Jose Caballero's RBI groundout in the fourth inning before hitting a two-run homer in the sixth as New York ended a three-game losing streak and stopped Detroit's four-game winning streak.

Carlos Rodón (4-2) picked up the win, allowing three runs and six hits with two walks in 5 1/3 innings. Three relievers finished, with David Bednar getting the final four outs for his 15th save.

Casey Mize (2-5) gave up four runs and eight hits and a walk in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out six while giving the Tigers their 27th straight game in which the starting pitcher allowed four or fewer runs.

Detroit took the lead with two runs in the third. Zach McKinstry hit a one-out single and took third when Ben Malgeri singled in his first major-league at-bat. McKinstry scored on Rodon's wild pitch and Malgeri came home on Dillon Dingler's base hit.

After Caballero made it 2-1 with his run-scoring groundout in the fourth, Cody Bellinger threw out Riley Greene at the plate to end the bottom of the inning.

The Yankees went up 4-2 with three runs in the sixth. With one out, Paul Goldschmidt beat out a rare infield single before Chisholm homered to right-center. Caballero's two-out single brought Tyler Holton out of the bullpen, but Austin Wells doubled to give the Yankees a two-run lead.

Dingler and Matt Vierling started the bottom of the inning with back-to-back doubles, cutting New York's lead to 4-3.

The teams finish their three-game series Wednesday night with Tigers ace LHP Tarik Skubal (3-3, 3.02) facing LHP Ryan Weathers (2-5, 4.13).

University of Michigan men's basketball coach Dusty May is leaving for the Dallas Mavericks head coaching job, two sources confirmed to CBS News Texas on Monday morning. 

May coached the Wolverines the past two seasons and led Michigan to the 2026 NCAA national championship. The 49-year-old replaces Jason Kidd, who was fired in May after five seasons with the Mavericks. 

May went 64-13 at Michigan and guided the Wolverines to their second national title in program history and first since 1989. The Wolverines also won the 2025 Big Ten tournament and 2026 Big Ten regular-season championships under May. 

May had at one point reached a contract deal that will have him continuing to lead the Wolverines "for many years to come," athletic director Warde Manuel said. That comment was made in April, during a ceremony celebrating Michigan's NCAA championship run. 

By that time, May had been mentioned as a potential target for North Carolina, which hired former Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone on Tuesday to replace the fired Hubert Davis.

"It's been an honor for two years to represent all of you and to be called Coach by these guys," May said during the April ceremony. "Anytime you have a group come together and you feel like they gave you so much more than you could ever give them, it melts you. These guys did it for each other. They did it for the staff. They did it for all of you, and they did it for all the right reasons — with class, with great effort and support for each other. That's all you can ask for as a coach."

Before taking the Ann Arbor job, he was head coach at Florida Atlantic in Boca Raton, Florida. Prior to a head coaching role, he spent 13 seasons as an assistant coach at various schools. 

May grew up in Bloomfield, Indiana, and graduated from Indiana University in 2000.

Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel issued the following statement on Tuesday:

While we are disappointed to see Dusty leave Michigan, we are deeply grateful to the May family for the lasting impact they have made on our program and our university.

In just two seasons, Dusty restored Michigan Basketball to national prominence and led our Wolverines through one of the greatest chapters in program history, culminating in our first national championship in 37 years. His leadership, vision, and belief in our student-athletes helped create a culture of excellence that made the entire Michigan community proud.

We thank Dusty for his commitment to our program and the University of Michigan, and we wish him, Anna, and their family continued success as he begins this next chapter with the Dallas Mavericks.

With summer workouts starting this week, Mike Boynton has been appointed head coach in an interim capacity. Mike has been an invaluable member of our staff and a respected leader throughout his career. He knows what Michigan Basketball represents and has earned the trust and respect of our student-athletes and everyone in our program. His experience, character and commitment to our values make him the right person to guide the team during this transition.

Michigan Basketball's tradition is as strong as ever, and our future remains bright. We will move forward with confidence, pride, and an unwavering commitment to the championship standard that defines this program.

Riley Greene homered and Kevin McGonigle drove in two runs as the Detroit Tigers beat Gerrit Cole for the first time in 10 years, winning 5-3 against the New York Yankees on Monday night.

Framber Valdez (4-5) outpitched Cole, giving up one run on four hits and two walks in six innings. The left-hander struck out eight as the Tigers won their fourth straight game.

Cole (2-2) entered 10-1 with a 1.84 ERA in 14 career starts against Detroit, with his only loss coming as a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates on April 14, 2016. But the 2023 AL Cy Young Award winner wasn't very sharp this time, allowing five runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out five.

Minus injured slugger Aaron Judge, the Yankees have lost three in a row and four of five. They still have the best record in the American League at 46-31.

New York got a run in the second when José Caballero walked, stole second and scored on Ali Sánchez's double.

Detroit took the lead with three runs in the third.

Zack McKinstry led off with a triple and scored on McGonigle's groundout. Cole struck out Dillon Dingler for the second out, but the next four hitters reached base, including RBI singles by Spencer Torkelson and Colt Keith.

McGonigle's RBI double gave the Tigers a 4-1 lead in the fourth, and Greene's 422-foot homer made it 5-1 in the fifth.

Sánchez exited in the seventh after being hit on the left wrist by a pitch. Amed Rosario homered two pitches later to make it 5-3.

A pair of infield singles brought Jasson Domínguez to the plate with two on and two outs in the eighth, but Will Vest came out of the bullpen to strike him out. Vest also pitched the ninth for his second save.

The game was delayed for seven minutes in the fourth when a camera installed in front of second base popped up through the grass. Despite the best efforts of Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. to rebury the camera, the grounds crew had to come out to fix the field.

The teams continue their three-game series Tuesday night, with Detroit RHP Casey Mize (2-4, 2.58 ERA) scheduled to face LHP Carlos Rodón (3-2, 3.50).

Miyu Yamashita got into a playoff Sunday in the Meijer LPGA Classic in West Michigan when Lottie Woad's 3-foot par try lipped out to close regulation, then won with a 3-footer of her own on the first extra hole.

Five strokes behind third-round leader Jing Yan and four back of Woad going into the day, Yamashita shot an 8-under 64 to get to 17-under 271 at Blythefield Country Club. The 24-year-old Japanese player birdied the par-5 18th in regulation and the playoff.

"I had really good feeling," the 4-foot-11 Yamashita said. "I'm really happy to win."

Woad had a 68, holing out from a bunker for birdie on the 17th before running into trouble on the 467-yard 18th.

"Felt like I hit an OK putt," the 22-year-old English player said. "Obviously, lipped out on the high side."

In the playoff, both players were in front of the green in two. Yamashita played first, hitting a flop shot to 3 feet. Woad then hit her pitch 10 feet past and missed the comebacker.

Yamashita won for the third time on the LPGA Tour after winning 13 times on the JLPGA. Last year, she won the Maybank Championship and the Women's British Open and was the LPGA rookie of the year.

Wei-Ling Hsu (67) and Yan Liu (67) tied for third at 15 under. Minji Kang (66) and Cassie Porter (70) were 14 under. Yan had a 73 to tie for seventh at 13 under.

The major KPMG Women's PGA Championship begins Thursday at Hazeltine in Minnesota.

Dillon Dingler homered and drove in the tying run in the ninth before Matt Vierling's bloop single finished off Detroit's comeback in the 10th inning as the Tigers beat the Chicago White Sox 5-4 on Sunday.

Detroit trailed 3-1 after seven innings, but Dingler hit a homer in the eighth and the game-tying single in the ninth.

Tristan Peters put Chicago up 4-3 with a sacrifice fly in the 10th off Will Vest (3-4). Riley Greene led off the bottom of the inning with a single off Brandon Eisert (1-1) to put runners on the corners. Spencer Torkelson's base hit tied the game.

Colt Keith hit a grounder to first, and Jacob Gonzalez threw to the plate when Greene was holding third. That loaded the bases and brought Jordan Hicks out of the Chicago bullpen. Vierling hit a flare into shallow right field and Braden Montgomery couldn't make the diving catch.

Chicago was one out away from winning the game in the ninth. Seranthony Domínguez retired the first two batters before Jahmai Jones, who was 0-for-16 against right-handed pitching this season, beat out an infield single to keep the game going. Kevin McGonigle singled to move Jones to third, and Dingler tied the game with a grounder between third and short.

Kerry Carpenter hit a hard grounder down the first-base line, but Gonzalez made a sprawling play to force extra innings.

Peters had two hits, drove in two runs and scored for Chicago, which have lost five of six.

Chicago starter Davis Martin allowed one run on five hits and three walks.

Keider Montero, starting in place of Justin Verlander after his return was delayed by a hamstring pull, allowed three runs in seven innings.

Montero retired the first 13 batters before Montgomery beat out a slow grounder to third.

The Tigers ended the scoreless tie in the fifth. Colt Keith singled, stole second and scored on Zach McKinstry's two-out base hit to center.

Chicago, though, took the lead in the sixth. Peters led off with a single and Luisangel Acuña followed with his first home run of the season.

The White Sox made it 3-1 on Peters' RBI double in the seventh, but Dingler led off the eighth with his 18th homer to pull Detroit within a run.

White Sox: Return home for a three-game divisional series against the Cleveland Guardians. LHP Anthony Kay (6-2, 4.61) is scheduled for Monday's opener against RHP Gavin Williams (9-4, 3.83).

Tigers: Remain home to open a three-game series with the New York Yankees on Monday. LHP Framber Valdez (3-5, 4.09) is scheduled to start the opener against Yankees RHP Gerrit Cole (2-1, 2.57).

Mellissa Channell-Watkins, a Plymouth, Michigan, native, and two other defenders have signed with PWHL Detroit, the team said on Sunday.

Channell-Watkins, 31, and Stephanie Markowski each signed a two-year agreement, while Mia Biotti signed a one-year deal.

The Michigan blueliner spent last season with the Vancouver Goldeneyes, tallying 44 hits and two assists in 30 regular-season games with the team. She won two Walter Cup titles in 2024 and 2025 with the Minnesota Frost.

Markowski, 24, was drafted 20th overall by the Ottawa Charge in 2024. In 58 games over the past two seasons, she recorded two goals and eight assists while blocking 35 shots, the league said on its website.

Biotti made her PWHL debut at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on Jan. 3 after earning a reserve contract with the Boston Fleet last season, according to the league. She played 15 games with the Massachusetts-based team.

PWHL Detroit selected six players in the 2026 draft on Wednesday, including defender and Michigan native Casey Borgiel. 

On Tuesday, the league announced that five-time Olympian Hilary Knight, 36, would be coming to Detroit as part of a sign-and-trade agreement reached with fellow expansion team Las Vegas. Knight finished last season with five goals and 14 points in 22 games with the Seattle Torrent, while missing the final two months with a lower-body injury. 

As of Sunday, the team has 13 players under contract.

Serena Williams will play singles at Wimbledon after accepting a wild card invitation, the All England Club announced Sunday.

The move comes after the 44-year-old Williams recently returned to competition in doubles after nearly four years away from professional tennis.

And it means that Williams will play both singles and doubles at Wimbledon after already accepting a wild card for the doubles competition with older sister Venus.

Serena's last singles match was a loss to Ajla Tomljanovic in the third round of the 2022 U.S. Open. At the time, she said she didn't want to use the word "retiring" and instead declared that she was "evolving" away from tennis.

Serena has won 23 Grand Slam titles in singles, including seven at Wimbledon. She's also won 14 Grand Slams in doubles, all with Venus, and six of them at Wimbledon.

Wimbledon starts June 29.

Serena won a doubles match with partner Victoria Mboko at Queen's Club last week but then the pair had to withdraw after Mboko injured her knee in a singles match.

In another doubles match at the Berlin Open on Tuesday, Serena and partner Karolina Muchova were beaten by Giuliana Olmos and Erin Routliffe.
