Angels manager Ron Washington out indefinitely with apparent health scare
Angels manager Ron Washington will be out for an indefinite amount of time with a health concern, general manager Perry Minasian told reporters on Friday. Minasian said that Washington, 73, will continue to be around the team, but will not be in the dugout as he addresses the undisclosed health matter. Going forward, Angels bench coach Ray Montgomery will serve as the team's interim manager starting Friday night against the Astros, where Washington will be watching from the suites, according to Sam Blum of The Athletic.

AP Washington, who is in his second season managing the Angels, has led the team to a 36-38 record entering Friday. At the start of this season, Washington introduced a new workout regimen for his team following their Opening Day loss against the Orioles, which has been well received by his players. Advertisement 'I think it's great every single thing Wash has done so far,' Angels left fielder Taylor Ward told in April. 'I love it. And it might just be what we need.' Washington explained how he held a full team workout on what was originally an off day, saying that is was good to keep the blood flowing and to stay on track mentally.

Jason Parkhurst-Imagn Images 'I think it was important because I don't want them to get caught up in the fact that we're not playing baseball the way we're capable of playing baseball,' Washington said. 'I don't want them to get inside of themselves. Advertisement 'I want them to be free and I want them to know that if we keep coming out here and working that things will take care of itself. That was the point.' Washington also recently said he believes the Angels will be on an upward path compared to last season, where his team finished with a 63-99 record. 'We're gonna be on that trajectory,' Washington said. 'We don't think, we will be. But we have to stay in the process, we have to work, we have to learn, we've got to apply. That's what the game of baseball is about: work, learning and applying. And we're going to do that.'

Kentucky's Jasper Johnson has made the second Team USA U19 cut
The Kentucky Wildcats didn't land a top five recruit like they have done in previous years, but they ended up with a talented class nonetheless. One of those recruits is guard Jasper Johnson, a top 25 player in this year's class. Both Johnson and Malachi Moreno attended the Team USA U19 training camp, competing for a spot on the team that will compete at the FIBA U19 Men's World Cup in late June and early July. When the team was cut down to 18, Moreno was eliminated with a minor injury, but Johnson moved on. Now, the team has been cut to 15 players, and Johnson, once again, has made it through. Other players to make the cut include former Kentucky targets Chris Cenac Jr., Mikel Brown Jr., and Koa Peat. Current Kentucky target Tyran Stokes is also on the list. The final cut will bring the roster down to the final 12 players who will make up the official team. The World Cup will begin June 28th, and Kentucky fans will hopefully get to root for Johnson there.

Penn State Makes Drew Allar Announcement on Friday
Penn State Makes Drew Allar Announcement on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Penn State Nittany Lions capped off their 2024 campaign with a stellar season, finishing second in the Big Ten behind the Oregon Ducks and earning a spot in the College Football Playoff. Advertisement After notching wins over SMU and Boise State, the Nittany Lions reached the semifinals, where they suffered a heartbreaking 27–24 loss to Notre Dame—who ultimately fell to Ohio State in the national championship. Shortly into the offseason, Penn State received a major boost when it was announced that both 1,000-yard rushers, Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton, would return—alongside star quarterback Drew Allar. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Allar currently holds the fifth-best odds to win the Heisman Trophy. Now entering his fourth season in State College, Allar received another honor on Friday as Penn State announced he's been named a Phil Steele Preseason All-American—joining several of his teammates on the prestigious list. Over his three seasons with the Nittany Lions, Drew Allar has completed 62.9% of his passes for 6,302 yards, 53 touchdowns, and just 10 interceptions, while maintaining a 144.0 passer rating. Advertisement One of the biggest flaws in Penn State's offense last season was a lack of consistent production from the wide receiver position. Much of their offensive output came from their dynamic running back duo and standout tight end Tyler Warren, who was later selected in the first round of the NFL draft by the Indianapolis Colts. Penn State Nittany Lions quarterback Drew Prather-Imagn To address that need, head coach James Franklin turned to the transfer portal and added key reinforcements at wide receiver: Kyron Hudson from USC, Devonte Ross from Troy, and Trebor Pena from Syracuse—who played in one of the most explosive offenses in college football last season. Franklin emphasized the need for Allar to 'take another step' this season—something the quarterback has managed to do each year of his collegiate career. Advertisement The thing that's exciting about Drew, he may be 6-foot-5, 235 pounds, but he has a lot of growth and development," Franklin said. "He's a young kid. He has taken significant steps every single year."
