Brent Honeywell fractured a bone in his elbow during a bullpen session and is once again out for the season, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Honeywell also missed all of 2018 after undergoing Tommy John surgery. He potentially would have been in Tampa Bay’s rotation to start that year. He will also need surgery on his elbow to repair his current injury. Honeywell, the 24-year-old righty, has been a top prospect in baseball since the 2015 season one year after he was taken with the 72nd pick in 2014....

India had already sealed the series but had been humbled in an eight-wicket defeat in the fourth contest, in which they were bowled out for a measly 92. A similar scenario appeared to be playing out when India, who had opted to bat despite moisture on the Wellington surface, slipped to 18-4. However, Rayudu mixed scratchy defence with some fine stroke play to make a crucial 90, while all-rounders Vijay Shankar and Hardik Pandya (both 45) contributed to India’s 252 all out....

Despite winning the last World Cup in 2002, Brazil have an exciting group of youngsters with the likes of Vinicius Jr., Gabriel Jesus, Rodrygo Goes, Arthur and Lucas Paqueta, who could bring the glory days back to the Selecao.

Authorities in the U.S. are seeking the extradition of Nicholas Rossi, 35, on two counts of rape and one of indecent assault. Edinburgh Sheriff Court concluded he fled the U.S. after the allegations.

Ujiri added that despite his achievements in basketball, including building a championship team, “there are some people, including those who are supposed to protect us, who will always and only see me as something that is unworthy of respectful engagement. “And, there’s only one indisputable reason why that is the case — because I am Black.” Ujiri made his statement through the Raptors the same week his legal team released bodycam footage showing the deputy, Alan Strickland, shoving Ujiri twice and not allowing him onto the court to join in the Raptors’ celebration after Toronto had defeated Golden State in Game 6 of The Finals....

NEWSWEEK: Some people have said this car is going to be a disaster for the environment. What impact will the introduction of these vehicles have on pollution levels in India? Ratan Tata: Our car will meet all emissions requirements in India and in fact the emissions requirements overseas, present and future.

Game Rant enjoyed Singularity (as per our review) and while the premise of the game was a bit out there, it was something new in a field that’s dominated by “realistic military shooters.” With games like Homefront coming out later, game developers may have a harder time creating a new game that’s based in that genre. Why? Adding new features, or at least dressing up old features to look new, will start to become difficult....

After Latavius Murray scored a touchdown to cut the Browns’ lead to 24-15 with 8:56 left in the game, coach John Harbaugh elected to attempt a two-point conversion. The try failed, and that kept the Ravens from making it a one-possession game. NFL POWER RANKINGS: Where Ravens rank after consecutive losses The decision was unequivocally the right one by Harbaugh despite the result. It was an analytically-driven call that Harbaugh didn’t think twice about, as he explained in a postgame news conference....

In a recent article by Hensley, the Ravens beat writer asked the question, “Can the Ravens afford to keep Matthew Judon or Yannick Ngakoue?” He explored that question within the article, and in doing so included some reporting about a previous contract offer he says the Ravens sent to Judon. Here’s what Hensley wrote: Hensley later updated his article by writing, “Judon has disputed this report.” That update was after Judon called the writer out on Twitter....

Harbaugh chose not to refer all questions about the anthem policy to his statement. He said focusing solely on his team and its performance was “what I’m thinking about as a coach, that’s what I want to be involved with." Then, he continued: “As far as anybody’s — all of our — rights to express ourselves, and have our opinion, and make this country better and better and better, in every single way, we need to be doing that....

And the meaning of Sunday’s game goes deeper than that. For the Ravens, it’s a chance to further put the Ray Rice fallout behind them. For the Browns, a victory would perhaps signal their ability to compete in the AFC North for the first time in seven years. It would also likely leave Brian Hoyer secure as their starting quarterback after the Week 4 bye, thus ending any real controversy about Johnny Manziel taking the job for the time being....
