Bills' Michael Hoecht: Super Bowl title would mean 'everything' to him
In little surprise, Michael Hoecht gets it. The pass rusher signed with the Buffalo Bills during free agency this offseason. He does have to face a suspension early on next season, but Hoecht is going to be chomping at the bit to get his Bills career going. Advertisement That's because Hoecht completely understands what the Bills and a potential Super Bowl means to Buffalo. Despite already having won a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams, it sounds like one with the Bills would be even bigger for Hoecht. That's because Hoecht is a close local to western New York as an Oakville, Ontario, native. Hoecht said during minicamp that bringing a title to Buffalo would be a massive achievement and credited Bills Mafia as his reason why a Super Bowl win would mean so much. Hoecht's explanation can be found in the clip below: This article originally appeared on Bills Wire: Bills' Michael Hoecht: Super Bowl title would mean 'everything' to him

Aaron Judge Sends Strong Message to Slumping Teammate After Yankees' Loss to Orioles
Aaron Judge Sends Strong Message to Slumping Teammate After Yankees' Loss to Orioles originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Just when it looked like the New York Yankees were back on track after snapping a six-game losing skid with a 7-3 victory on Thursday over the Los Angeles Angels, they followed that up by stumbling right out of the gate of their series against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. Advertisement The Yankees faltered anew in the Orioles game, as they suffered a 5-3 defeat, which was probably extra disappointing for shortstop Anthony Volpe, who saw his hitless streak continue to 22 at-bats. Volpe went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts versus the Orioles. He was also 0-for-3 with at least a runner in scoring position, further intensifying the heat of the spotlight on him amid his struggles at the plate.

Brad Penner-Imagn Images Meanwhile, reigning American League Most Valuable Player Aaron Judge went 3-for-4 with a run scored off a solo blast in the third inning. Even an incredibly talented hitter like Judge knows what it's like to be in a slump, and he used that experience to show his support for Volpe, who's batting just .194/.242/.339 in June. Advertisement "Keep going, you've been there before,' Judge said when asked for advice for Volpe following the loss to Baltimore. 'I think he knows what he needs to work on, and he's a guy that will definitely outwork anybody in this room. And I got a lot of confidence in him, just like everybody else in this room. So just go out there, keep doing your thing. That's the biggest thing. Don't feel bad for yourself because nobody else, especially the Orioles, feels bad for you. So just keep going out there and doing your thing.' Despite Volpe's tough stretch, he can feel optimistic about his chances to end his slump this Saturday, with the Orioles scheduled to have Zach Eflin on the mound. Volpe is a career .333 hitter against Eflin, going 6-for-18 with a double and four RBIs. Advertisement As for the Yankees, they are still atop the American League East table with a 43-32 record, 1.5 games better than their rivals in the division.

Blue Jays eagerly await Max Scherzer's return to bolster a thinning starting rotation
The Max Scherzer watch has officially begun, a consensus first-ballot Hall of Fame pitcher who may tip the scales in Toronto's favour once he's back on the mound and once he is able to showcase his durability. Big questions loom for such a piece of the pitching puzzle who is scheduled to throw a side session Sunday, a day when the Blue Jays wrap up their three-game series against the visiting Chicago White Sox. The original plan involved the right-hander throwing a bullpen session Saturday. Allowing Scherzer an extra day shouldn't be perceived as any setback, but given his injury history the uncertainty surrounding the soon-to-be 41-year-old all options remain on the table. The crux of Scherzer's issue is his thumb/hand, a source of concern in recent years. His expected road back to the majors involved making rehab starts with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons. In the aftermath of his most recent outing, Scherzer, according to the Jays, experienced soreness in the hand, which is to be expected. With the Bisons, Scherzer pitched 8.2 innings over two starts, a span that included giving up two runs, while recording 12 strikeouts. Assuming all goes well Sunday, Scherzer remains in line to start next week in Cleveland. His likely return will most assuredly provide a lift to a starting rotation in desperate need of a spark. Scherzer has been on the injured list almost from the moment he made his debut on March 29 against the visiting Baltimore Orioles, an outing that lasted all of three innings. The initial diagnosis was lat soreness, but the pain developed as a side effect of compensating for a nerve issue in his thumb. Without Scherzer, the Jays have been operating with a four-pitcher starting rotation, made weaker following the struggles of Bowden Francis and made thinner in the wake of Francis landing on the IL because of shoulder impingement. As a result, the bullpen has been forced to push the envelope. On most nights, the Jays have found ways to persevere. Then came Friday night when Spencer Turnbull gave the Jays two innings of inferior pitching as the White Sox jumped all over the Jays in a 7-1 rout. It's safe to say once Scherzer gets cleared, the likely casualty will be Turnbull. 'We haven't really had a ton of discussions about that,' said Turnbull. 'I'm just trying to stay flexible and just do whatever they ask. I just want to do whatever I can to help the team. 'If Scherzer's ready to come back, that's awesome. He's one of the best ever to do it. He'll help the team a lot when he gets up here.' Eric Lauer has filled in admirably, but a healthy Scherzer, even at his advanced age and injury history, is an upgrade. What's clear is a repeat of Friday night can't happen, made worse knowing the Pale Hose went with an opener and four relievers in limiting the Jays to seven hits, including three by Bo Bichette.
