Trevor Bauer will take his place on Monday. Carrasco signed a four-year, $22 million contract just before Opening Day. He’s 1-1 in two starts (6 1/3 innings) this season with a 2....

Yes, that sentence reads like a headline from 35 years ago, but baseball has always been a boy's club culturally, and the locker room has always been a sanctuary.

Had Alabama State, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Mississippi Valley State and Grambling State been unable to participate in the tournament, only six teams would have remained. Should any of the ineligible teams win the league title, the highest-seeded eligible team that goes the furthest will win the NCAA Tournament’s automatic bid.

Of the four, Alabama State (9-5 in SWAC) and Arkansas-Pine Bluff (8-7) are the only two teams with realistic chances of upending league favorite Southern (13-2)....

Man Utd squeak through to Europa final Looking to secure a place in a European final for the first time in 21 years, a youthful, exuberant side had shown enough defensive sloppiness and attacking profligacy in the first leg to give their French foes hope when they lined up for Thursday’s return fixture at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is actively working to influence the next generation of Americans and Chinese students in America by expanding its soft power, attempting to control and threaten Chinese students, and using financial leverage over U.S. educational institutions. For example, in mid-August, the U.S. Confucius Institute headquarters was designated by the State Department as a foreign mission due to its efforts to push CCP propaganda.

But the backlash to what was the highest voter turnout in over a century is not expected to affect all states the same.

A thrilling encounter saw Barca fall three goals behind in the first half at a venue where it also was beaten last season in a 4-1 reverse. The champions battled hard in the second half, but Pablo Hernandez’s goal after a mistake from goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who kicked the ball against him in a failed passing attempt, proved decisive despite Gerard Pique’s double and a Neymar penalty. On a day that saw title rivals Real Madrid draw at home to Eibar, Iniesta – who came on at half-time to make his 600th Barca appearance – was disappointed to sit fourth, rather than first, at the international break following the loss....
