Orioles minor leaguer dies following jet ski crash in Florida
Baltimore Orioles minor league infielder Luis Guevara has died, the team announced in a statement late Tuesday. He was 19.
Guevara was a victim in a jet ski crash in Lido Key, Florida, FOX 13 Tampa Bay reported, citing team officials. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said two jet skis with two people on board collided with each other. All four people were sent into the water.
Guevara later died at a hospital, according to the station.
"Luis was a beloved member of our organization, and we are devastated following his tragic passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and teammates and we ask for their continued privacy during this difficult time," Orioles executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias said in a statement.
Guevara joined the Orioles in January 2023 as an international free agent from Venezuela. He was playing shortstop, third base and second base as he worked his way through the Orioles' farm system.
He played for Orioles Orange in the Dominican Summer League for two years. He got his start in 2025 in Double-A with the Chesapeake BaySox of the Eastern League but moved down to the Delmarva Shorebirds of the Single-A Carolina League and later the Orioles' Florida Complex League team.
He was hitting .281with 49 RBI and 41 steals in 114 career minor league games across all four teams.

When is Bryce Harper returning to the Philadelphia Phillies lineup after wrist injury? Hopefully sooner than later.
Bryce Harper had a positive outlook on his wrist injury, even if he isn't exactly sure when he'll be back in the Phillies lineup. Harper had a reason to be positive regarding the injury that kept him on the injured list since June 7, the same wrist injury that lingered throughout last season. Harper took 20 dry swings and 20 swings off a tee for the first time since going on the IL. To say the results were encouraging is an understatement. "It felt better than I thought it would," Harper said before the Phillies' showdown against the Mets on Friday. "So I'm happy about that." Harper also fielded groundballs at first base and threw outside 60 to 75 feet, so he and the Phillies appeared to be ramping up a possible return to the lineup. He'll do the same routine Saturday before taking the next steps toward coming back. While neither Harper nor the Phillies has a timetable for a return, he doesn't want to be playing through the pain he felt before going on the injured list. This wrist pain Harper couldn't tolerate, as he was only aggravating it more. "I understand what I can tolerate and what I can't," Harper said. "I've played through pain in my career. I think everybody has at some point. When I can play through the pain, I do. And it got to the point where I just couldn't do it."

Colton Hall/MLB Photos via Getty Images "I hope the pain gets out of there. I don't want to play in pain at all," Harper said. "I think that's something we'll see as that comes around. Hopefully, it can get out of there, or stay out of just got to the point where I couldn't do it, and I didn't want to put myself in the position that I wasn't going to play well for my team." Harper hasn't received too many answers on this wrist inflammation, just that he needs to calm it down "as best as he can." Harper also won't need surgery as there are no structural issues with the wrist. Rest is the solution. The "rest" is what Harper can play through and what he can't. "I'm not happy that it came back," Harper said. "I was pain-free for probably 4 ½ months, and then it came back just randomly. So that's always tough. But I think those are things we're going to have to answer once I get going again." "How many swings am I going to take? How many times am I going to throw a ball? And things like that. It's tough not to take those swings or do any of those things. But we're just going to try to figure it out once we get there." Harper does appear to be returning to the Phillies lineup sooner rather than later. That timetable of returning may be significantly shorter in the coming days.

Notre Dame football 2026 recruiting class commitment tracker
(This story has been updated to add new information.) Notre Dame football is once again putting together an impressive recruiting class, as currently there are eighteen verbals. It is a great collection of players, one that should continue the recent success that Notre Dame has had on and off the field. Head coach Marcus Freeman has done a fantastic job elevating the Irish in the eyes of prospects, and it has paid off big dividends. Advertisement Part of the success that Notre Dame has seen in the 2026 cycle has to do with its impressive run in the College Football Playoff, but a lot of credit has to go to the coaching staff as well, starting with Freeman. Find out below every Notre Dame 2026 football commit along with a quick bio of each one of them. (Note: All recruiting rankings are according to the 247Sports Composite and are updated every time the Irish class grows.) Wide receiver Dylan Faison The first commitment of the class, it always seemed like Faison would join his brother Jordan in South Bend. He hasn't wavered on his commitment despite new offers like Miami. Faison also intends on playing lacrosse for the Irish. Advertisement Commitment date: March 18th, 2024 Measurable's: 5-foot, 11-inches and 170-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 766, position No. 114 Quarterback Noah Grubbs The Florida quarterback knew early on that Notre Dame was the place for him, and didn't need to wait out the process. Grubbs has been a leader in recruiting others in the class, and while he might have to wait a bit to be the starter, he's got the potential to be a very good one. Commitment date: June 1st, 2024 Measurable's: 6-foot, 4-inches and 205-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 174, position No. 11 Linebacker Thomas Davis Jr. Davis' father is a Georgia alumni, but that won't matter much in his recruitment. While the Bulldogs came after him late, the Irish will hold onto his recruitment. This is a big win for Notre Dame. Advertisement Commitment date: Nov. 12th, 2024 Measurable's: 6-foot, 2-inches and 205-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 195, position No. 10 Cornerback Chaston Smith While Smith doesn't get a lot of publicity, he's a great prospect and exactly what Notre Dame is looking for in a cornerback. Long, athletic and smooth, the Tennessee native had plenty of offers, but the Irish won out. Commitment date: Dec. 1st, 2024 Measurable's: 6-foot, 1-inch and 185-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 313, position No. 26 Offensive lineman Sullivan Garvin The first of many offensive lineman that have committed to Notre Dame, Garvin could end up playing either tackle or guard. The versatility separates him, and his size will allow the Irish coaching staff to have options where to play him. Advertisement Commitment date: Dec. 5th, 2024 Measurable's: 6-foot, 5-inches and 300-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 407, position No. 35 Offensive lineman Ben Nichols The second Michigan offensive lineman, Nichols also had an impressive offer list. He made the choice to join Notre Dame's class early, and hasn't had a second thought. Like Garvin, Nichols could end up playing on the outside or interior, and should be a difference maker. Commitment date: Dec. 24th, 2024 Measurable's: 6-foot, 5-inches and 315-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 227, position No. 16 Offensive lineman Tyler Merrill If you are noticing a trend with this year's offensive line class, you are doing a great job. All of them can play multiple positions, as Merrill can play guard or tackle. My guess is that he'll start on the inside, but can play right tackle if needed. Another impressive recruiting win for Notre Dame. Advertisement Commitment date: Jan. 30, 2025 Measurable's: 6-foot, 5-inches and 338-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 104, position No. 5 Edge Ebenezer Ewetade Ewetade was the start of an Irish recruiting run, and he was a big one to get. One of the best edge rushers in the country, he's exactly what teams are looking for in the position. Notre Dame could have another true freshman playing early on the defensive line. Commitment date: April 5th, 2025 Measurable's: 6-foot, 4-inches and 221-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 134, position No. 17 Edge rusher Rodney Dunham Almost the exact size as his future teammate Ewetade, Dunham comes into the program with a bit more hype. He's a national prospect that should be playing early next fall. Dunham is an elite player. Advertisement Commitment date: April 10th, 2025 Measurable's: 6-foot, 4-inches and 227-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 32, position No. 5 Offensive lineman Gregory Patrick Patrick is the only true tackle of the group, but he's a good one. He has the size and agility to deal with speed or power rushers, but it's hard to say if he will see the field early. Notre Dame has done a great job accumulating talent on the offensive line, but we have seen true freshman crack the lineup in the recent years. Commitment date: April 13th, 2025 Measurable's: 6-foot 5-inches and 275-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 179, position No. 15 Wide receiver Bubba Frazier Frazier is a player that is perfect for a slot receiver spot, shifty with sure hands and a great route runner. Coming from Georgia, you know that he's playing against some of the best high school competition every week, so there shouldn't be that big of an adjustment at the next level for him. Advertisement Commitment date: April 14th, 2025 Measurable's: 5-foot, 10-inches and 180-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 294, position No. 48 Safety Ayden Pouncey The Pouncey family has a long history of producing college football players and Ayden is the next up. Both his brothers played at Florida, but he chose his own path. He has the chance to be the best of the bunch, and this was a big recruiting win for Notre Dame. Commitment date: April 26th, 2025 Measurable's: 6-foot, 3-inches and 160-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 145, position No. 12 Linebacker Jakobe Clapper Ohio has become a focus state for Notre Dame and they won out on Clapper. He chose the Irish over multiple Big Ten and SEC offers, and could be the next impressive linebacker in South Bend. Advertisement Commitment date: May 2nd, 2025 Measurable's: 6-foot, 2-inches and 215-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 407, position No. 27 Running back Javian Osborne Notre Dame got one of the elite running backs in the country with Osborne's commitment. He's more of a bruiser, but has the ability to break big runs as well. Osborne has the potentiall to play early for the Irish. Commitment date: May 3rd, 2025 Measurable's: 5-foot, 10-inches and 200-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 90, position No. 6 Defensive tackle Tiki Hola A true defensive tackle, Hola doesn't just clog up the middle, he makes plays. The Irish beat out USC for his commitment, which makes it even sweeter. Hola may need some time to get accustomed to the college game, but when he does, watch out. Advertisement Commitment date: May 10th, 2025 Measurable's: 6-foot, 2-inches and 285-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 328, position No. 39 Running back Jonaz Walton The second back of the cycle, Walton also enters the program with some significant hype. He has the speed to break off big runs, and the power to fight for tough yards. Walton is also a very good receiving threat, and could make an impact anytime the ball is in his hands. Commitment date: May 14th, 2025 Measurable's: 5-foot, 10-inches and 205-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 125, position No. 10 Offensive tackle Grayson McKeogh The final piece of the offensive line puzzle for Notre Dame was McKeogh, who gives them a top-level option at left tackle. While he's not ranked as highly as some of his soon-to-be teammates, McKeogh has an extremely high ceiling and should make a big impact for the Irish. Advertisement Commitment date: June 18th, 2025 Measurable's: 6-foot, 8-inches and 275-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 262, position No. 20 Safety Khary Adams Notre Dame once again won out on a national prospect, as Adams could have went almost anywhere that he wanted to. South Bend will be his new home, as the East coast pipeline continues for the Irish. Adams has the potential to be the next elite corner for Notre Dame, and it wouldn't surprise me for him to be an early-entry NFL prospect. Commitment date: June 20th, 2025 Measurable's: 6-foot, 2-inches and 175-pounds Recruiting ranking: Nationally No. 75, position No. 9 This article originally appeared on Fighting Irish Wire: Notre Dame football 2026 recruiting class commitment tracker

(Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP) Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno throws to first base in the seventh inning of a baseball game against the Atlanta Braves, Tuesday, June 3, 2025, in Atlanta. (AP Photo/Colin Hubbard) DENVER (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno has a hairline fracture in his right index finger and could be sidelined until after the All-Star break. Moreno was injured June 6 in Cincinnati, then played through it for more than a week. He was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to Monday. Advertisement 'I appreciate what he was trying to do," manager Torey Lovullo said Friday night before the Diamondbacks faced Colorado. "I know that he had some at-bats that he was working through, pain-wise, and they were successful at-bats. He was just gutting it out, but it just became too much.' Star outfielder Corbin Carroll was out for a second straight game because of a contusion on his left hand after he was hit by a pitch Wednesday night in Toronto. X-rays showed no fracture and he was available off the bench Friday night. Meanwhile, left-handed reliever A.J. Puk had surgery on his left elbow Friday. He will miss the rest of the season. The surgery was to determine the condition of the ligament in his pitching elbow and if he would need it replaced. Advertisement 'If the ligament's still in place, they won't replace the ligament,' Lovullo said. 'They'll just do that external bracing. If the ligament is damaged and they need to put a new ligament in there, yeah, it'll be officially Tommy John surgery.' Starter Corbin Burnes had recent Tommy John surgery, and reliever Justin Martinez will undergo the procedure. Carroll was working on the field Friday before the game. 'Corb is much better, trending in a very positive direction. And just want to give him a work day, just try and get out, see how he feels,' Lovullo said. 'The last thing you want to do is put a bat in your hand and have something sting. So he's going to do all that he can. So as of right now, he'll be available for the game, and then we'll hopefully trend upward from there." ___ AP MLB:
