Orioles C Maverick Handley injured in collision vs. Yankees
June 22 - Baltimore Orioles catcher Maverick Handley left Sunday's game against the host New York Yankees in the second inning following a collision at the plate with Jazz Chisholm Jr.
With two outs in the second, DJ LeMahieu lined a single to left field and Chisholm scored from second base. Chisholm collided with Handley up the line and the Yankee third baseman's elbow appeared to hit the rookie in the head.
After trainer Scott Barringer and interim manager Tony Mansolino checked him out, Handley was replaced by Gary Sanchez.
The collision continued a rough weekend for Baltimore's catchers. Adley Rutschman was scratched after batting practice on Friday and placed on injured reserve one day later with a strained left oblique.
Rutschman, who is on the injured list for the first time in his career, is expected to be sidelined through the All-Star break.

Son begs his mom to stop trying to fight fellow LSU fan in embarrassing College World Series viral clip
One LSU fan took the term 'Tiger mom' to a whole new level during Sunday's College World Series finals. LSU took on Coastal Carolina in Game 2 of the College World Series in Omaha Sunday but some Tigers fans appeared to forget who their rivals were as they turned on each other. In a now viral video, a young boy was left thoroughly embarrassed by his mom when she tried to spark a fight. The woman, wearing a bright yellow dress, was captured shouting at a man in an LSU football jersey. She wildly gestured at him, screamed the odd obscenity in his face, and even attempted the haul herself over the rows of seats separating the two. Thankfully for the other fan, another man, who appeared to be her husband, managed to hold her back. It is unclear what triggered the furious reaction, but the man appeared unfazed by the crazed woman as he just laughed in response to her rant. Hey fighting Tigers — OMAHA LSU Jesus (@LSUJesus) June 22, 2025 Other spectators around them watched on shocked, but it was her son that appeared to be the most stunned. The youngster, who was wearing former Tiger Dylan Crews' jersey, could be heard pleading with her to stop. Despite his desperate begging, the woman only began to calm down when another older woman approached her in an attempt to diffuse the situation. And it wasn't only in the stands where tensions were spilling over. Coastal Carolina coach Kevin Schnall and first base coach Matt Schilling were ejected in the bottom of the first inning. Walker Mitchell was at bat with two outs and Sebastian Alexander had just stolen base when Schnall went to the top steps of the dugout, gestured at plate umpire Angel Campos with three fingers and began shouting at him. Campos signaled Schnall's ejection, prompting the coach to charge out to argue. Schilling then was thrown out. It was not immediately known what Schnall was disputing. Associate head coach Chad Oxendine took over Schnall's duties. Coastal Carolina needs a victory to stay alive in the best-of-three series, which LSU leads 1-0.

Mets option slumping C Francisco Alvarez to Triple-A
June 22 - Once a highly touted prospect, New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday in the wake of his offensive struggles this season. Alvarez, 23, baseball's No. 1 prospect in 2022 who hit 25 home runs as a rookie in 2023, is hitting just .236 with three homers and 11 RBIs in 35 games this season. In a corresponding move, the Mets recalled Hayden Senger to serve as the backup to starter Luis Torrens. After making a splash as a 21-year-old rookie, Alvarez has been hampered by multiple wrist and hand injuries and regressed last year. In parts of four seasons with the Mets since debuting in 2022, Alvarez is a .223 hitter with 40 homers and 122 RBIs in 263 games. The 28-year-old Senger made his major league debut this season with the Mets, appearing in 13 games and hitting .179 in 28 at-bats. --Field Level Media

Anthony Bender relieved Alcantara in the seventh, throwing 1 1/3 scoreless innings. --Field Level Media
