Dbacks Notes and Recap
- Diamondbacks’ Merrill Kelly: Losing ways continue
  
  Kelly (5-8) took the loss Sunday against the Rays, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out three.
  
  Kelly struggled to find a rhythm Sunday, tossing just two scoreless innings on the afternoon. The month of June wasn’t particularly kind to the 37-year-old right-hander, who has now coughed up 23 runs to go along with a concerning 14:11 K:BB across his last 28.1 frames. Kelly has also taken a loss in each of his past five starts, so he’ll be hoping to turn the page when he brings a 5.84 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 47:33 K:BB over 81.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Brewers.
- Caminero homers again, Rasmussen throws 6 shutout innings as Rays sweep Diamondbacks with 5-1 win
- Diamondbacks’ Max Kepler: Hitting bench Sunday
  
  Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Rays.
  
  Kepler will get a breather for the series finale after he started in left field Friday and Saturday following his reinstatement from an 80-game suspension. Lourdes Gurriel will start in left field and Ketel Marte will serve as Arizona’s designated hitter Sunday, but Kepler appears likely to get a long look as a strong-side platoon player at either spot.
- Diamondbacks’ Gabriel Moreno: Getting afternoon off
  
  Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Rays.
  
  Adrian Del Castillo will receive a turn behind the plate while Moreno rests for the series finale. Moreno had started at catcher in each of Arizona’s last four contests, going 5-for-14 with two walks, two runs and an RBI while extending his hitting streak to a season-long 11 games in the process.
- Diamondbacks’ Geraldo Perdomo: Three hits in loss
  
  Perdomo went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday’s 4-2 loss to the Rays.
  
  Perdomo scored a run in the first inning after swatting a double. Since moving up to second in the order 11 games ago, Perdomo is batting .250 with a .388 on-base percentage (nine walks) and seven runs scored. After a rocky first two months, Perdomo has rebounded in June, slashing .293/.408/.390 over 24 games this month.

Suns recap and notes
- Suns’ Miles Bridges: Headed to Phoenix
  
  The Hornets traded Bridges, a 2029 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick to the Suns on Sunday in exchange for Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale and a 2033 first-round pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
  
  Bridges should continue to start in Phoenix, but his usage will likely dip, as he’ll be competing for touches with the likes of Devin Booker, Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks. Bridges supplied averages of 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.9 triples per game this past season with the Hornets, but his offensive role might shrink some with the Suns.
- Suns’ Corey Camper: Lands Exhibit 10 contract
  
  Camper signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Suns on Thursday, Chris Murray of Nevada Sports Net reports.
  
  Camper didn’t hear his name called during the 2026 NBA Draft but will have a chance to leave a positive impression with the Suns during Summer League. Over 33 appearances (32 starts) for Nevada in 2025-26, he averaged 16.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals in 32.2 minutes per tilt.
- Suns’ Mark Williams: Plans to sign three-year deal
  
  Williams (foot) plans to sign a three-year, $38 million contract to remain with the Suns, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
  
  Williams averaged a double-double in his final season in Charlotte. While his production dropped in his first year with the Suns in 2025-26, he still averaged 11.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.9 steals across 23.6 minutes. Without question, the 24-year-old is a talented player, though injuries have kept him off the floor more often than not. It’s unknown if Williams will remain the Suns’ starting center in 2026-27. However, even though Oso Ighodaro, Khaman Maluach and Rasheer Fleming have shown flashes of promise, they still aren’t as skilled as Williams when healthy.
- Suns’ Sam Hoiberg: Signs with Phoenix
  
  Hoiberg agreed to a contract with the Suns on Wednesday, Jake Fischer of BleacherReport.com reports.
  
  The exact terms of the contract are unknown, but Hoiberg will presumably join the Suns for Summer League. He earned Big Ten All-Defensive Team honors in 2025-26, averaging 9.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.0 steals across 35 outings with Nebraska.

Canada’s World Cup knockout stage win vs. South Africa was equally forgettable as it was historic

A game that lacked style, cohesion and positive play ended with a stoppage time strike, avoiding 30 minutes more of two teams that offered little quality

By Pardeep Cattry of cbssports.com contributing

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – South Africa are not exactly known for their play out of the back, so one would think, eventually, their opponents would find a way to take advantage. Minutes into the second half, Canada were clearly aware of this issue; they applied pressure whenever they could, a little going a long way as South Africa’s attempts to regain possession only lasted for a few short seconds. Eventually, Alaistair Johnson was off to the races and able to pick out a nice cross on the right flank, a pair of well-placed teammates in position.

The first target was Jonathan David, the Juventus striker perfectly positioned in front of goal. He, though, gets an awkward touch on it and the ball drifts behind him. Not to worry, one would think – Liam Millar is at the edge of the penalty area and has the chance to at least get a good strike in. It was undoubtedly a powerful hit; it also went soaring over the bar, a promising moment lost to time and not for the first time – nor for the last.

The first-ever round of 32 match at a World Cup was already unglamorous in its billing, two second-place teams from groups that were only compelling because two of the three host nations made the cut. It lived up to the reputation in every sense, few exciting displays of soccer in sight. Forget quality shots being few and far between – noteworthy sequences were hard to find. The first impressive moment of the game came after the halfway mark, when Mbekezeli Mbokazi came up with a game-saving clearance, while Alphonso Davies’ entrance with 15 minutes to go really began to turn the matchup into a soccer game (Wild what can happen when a team’s best player is on the field).

The slow transformation into something resembling something worth watching ensured the moment that would put a world’s worth of onlookers out of their misery came in the second minute of stoppage time through Stephen Eustaquio, who scored the game’s only goal in stylish form.

South Africa Hugo Broos was unflinching at the quality of the match and specifically his team.

“We lost the game because there was a lack of power and speed in our team when I compare that with our opponent,” he said post-match about his team, which mustered just one shot on target and 0.12 expected goals. “We lost a lot of duels, men against men and the speed in our team – not only the running speed but also the speed of execution.”

Canada head coach Jesse Marsch gathered his players in a circle afterwards and told them they were Canadian heroes and he is right about that. For a soccer program that started a World Cup partially on home soil, waiting for their first-ever win at the tournament, bagging a second in a win-or-go-home is monumental in its own right. A memorable moment was had at SoFi Stadium, if nothing else, even if his side were not that much better than the opponents.

“I think the performance was really strong and disciplined,” Marsch noted. “We didn’t really give much away and even when the goalkeeper was slowing things down, we didn’t lose our patience. We knew that being compact and being organized so that South Africa couldn’t get themselves out into open spaces was going to be really important and we could’ve made life a little easier on ourselves if we would’ve made a play earlier when we had some big chances but obviously, the timing of the goal means that the win is incredibly dramatic and I think the effect that it will have in Canada and the inspiring of people will be immense.”

As the near chances piled up before Eustaquio’s goal, though, it was hard not to think about the occasion. The biggest World Cup ever was finally in the knockout stages but kicked things off with an unpleasant game, the only one on the schedule for almost another 24 hours. Dull matches make up the numbers at all World Cups but after a fairly exciting group stage, the 48-team format had finally reared its ugly head – a dull, drab and entertaining match between two teams one would otherwise never pick out for a round of 16 slot. The loser, whoever it would be, would truly deserve to go home but at least they would pocket $11 million on the way out.

And therein lies the bleak reality.

Nearly 70,000 people filled the NFL‘s most glamorous new build – many clad in Mexico jerseys, for what it’s worth – in a game that saw FIFA president Gianni Infantino fulfil a decade-old promise when he first rose to his throne. He promised an expanded World Cup and, with that, more games and money than many of the game’s relative minnows had ever been exposed to, no matter the sporting merit of the decision. One can only hope things pick up on Monday, when two of the round’s most exciting games await with Brazil’s clash with Japan in Houston and the Netherlands’ face-off with Morocco in Monterrey, Mexico. A few duds are baked into the format, though, no matter which way you slice it and Canada have a tough test ahead of them – they get the winner of the game in Monterrey on Saturday, this time in Houston.

2026 Travelers Championship grades: Scottie Scheffler, Viktor Hovland head to Monday playoff atop leaderboard

A weather delay and matching pars on the 72nd hole at the Travelers left Scheffler and Hovland tied, requiring a postponement of play until Monday

By Patrick McDonald of cbssports.com contributing

Four days and 72 holes were not enough for the 2026 Travelers Championship. Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland will return to TPC River Highlands on Monday at 9 a.m. ET to compete in a playoff, completing the fourth round of the final signature event of the year with each aiming to capture the winner’s share of the last $20 million purse until the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

As they did to wrap up their Sundays, Scheffler and Hovland will play the par-4 18th on Monday until a winner is decided. Both players finished regulation at 21 under, one clear of Collin Morikawa.

Though Hovland entered Sunday atop the leaderboard, Scheffler immediately grabbed a share of the lead on the par-4 1st when Hovland put a bogey on his scorecard. The two tossed the lead back and forth like a game of hot potato throughout the day.

At one point on the front nine, there was a stretch of five straight holes where the lead swung between the two, who played together in the final pairing. After another two-shot exchange among the final duo on No. 10, Scheffler commanded a two-stroke lead as the likes of Morikawa, Wyndham Clark and Matt Fitzpatrick all made their moves.

In the end, it was Morikawa who posted the clubhouse lead at 20 under as the two-time major champion waited for someone to better his mark. This wait included an 83-minute weather delay, which Hovland exited firing on all cylinders. Rattling in birdies on Nos. 14-15, the Norwegian pulled even with the world No. 1, who had to save pars on those same holes, with three holes to play.

After exchanging a couple of pars, Scheffler and Hovland each had makable birdie puts on the 18th, despite both coming from long distances. While Scheffler’s effort did not come close, leaving an 8.5-foot par putt to force the playoff, Hovland flirted with finding the bottom of the cup but ultimately fell short.

Scheffler let out a burst of emotion upon draining his putt as he had just missed a birdie look to take the lead from a similar distance on the previous hole and secured a date with Hovland for Monday morning.

Scottie Scheffler vs. Viktor Hovland for the win.

They will compete for the $3.6 million winner’s share Monday morning, but for everyone else in the field, their work is complete in Cromwell, Connecticut. Let’s hand out some grades based on their performances over the last 72 holes.

2026 Travelers Championship leaderboard, grades

3. Collin Morikawa (-20): Started the day nine strokes back of Hovland’s lead and went straight to work to chip into it. The two-time major champion threw two darts out of the gates and then let the putter take over. Morikawa converted birdie looks from 30 feet, 7 feet, 31 feet, 15 feet, 17 feet and 9 feet on the 72nd hole to tie his personal career low on the PGA Tour with a 9-under 61. On the day, he made 135 feet worth of putts, cementing his return from the back injury that has lingered ever since The Players Championship. Grade: A

T5. Wyndham Clark (-18): May have even surprised himself with his play, considering the combination of celebrations and media obligations following last week’s triumph. Clark looked to become the first player since Ernie Els in 1997 to win the week following a win at the U.S. Open, but he ultimately fell short. He once again made almost every putt he looked at as he ranked first in strokes gained putting and second in terms of scrambling but ran out of steam by week’s end.

“[I’m operating on] fumes, fumes. Just one more day,” Clark said on Saturday. “When I was on Korn Ferry, I played nine weeks in a row. I’ve had years where I’ve had to play six or seven in a row. So it’s four in a row. Obviously, it’s different when you are in contention most of the weeks, but I’m looking forward to next week. I’m not going to touch a club. So that’s all I’m fantasizing about right now.” Grade: A-

T15. Keegan Bradley (-14): The two-time tournament champion was in need of a solid week, and he delivered just that. Bradley ranked No. 76 in the FedEx Cup standings and has inched his way inside the top 70 as his playing schedule pushes him across the pond for a couple of tournaments in which he has never fared too well. He will need to maintain this form amid a year riddled with memories of the Ryder Cup and still no top-10 finishes. Bradley looked much more like himself from tee to green across four days at TPC River Highlands. Grade: B-

T66. Jordan Spieth (E): A week that started with speculation about which putter he would put in the bag ended with his name near the bottom of the leaderboard. Spieth made just about 200 feet worth of putts (last in the field) as his ball striking followed suit in terms of quality, ranking 70th in the 72-man field. He is now without a top 10 finish in more than a calendar year, with his last such result coming at the 2025 Memorial Tournament. Spieth plans to tee it up at the John Deere Classic, where consistency throughout the bag throughout an entire tournament has to be the top of his agenda. Grade: F

Caminero homers again, Rasmussen throws 6 shutout innings as Rays sweep Diamondbacks with 5-1 win

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) Junior Caminero homered in a career-best fourth consecutive game, Drew Rasmussen threw six shutout innings and the Tampa Bay Rays finished a sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks with a 5-1 victory Sunday.

Cedric Mullins and Ben Williamson added solo home runs for Tampa Bay, which has won five consecutive games and went 7-3 on its homestand. The series sweep was the eighth of the season by the Rays.

Caminero has six home runs in during his four-game homer streak – including three against Kansas City on Thursday – and has seven in his last six games overall. A 463-foot shot to left-center field in the fifth inning on Sunday put Tampa Bay in front 4-0.

Rasmussen (7-4) allowed three hits, struck out five and hit two batters to finish June allowing a total of three runs allowed over 33 innings in five starts. Craig Kimbrel, Garrett Cleavinger and Trevor Martin combined to allow one run and two hits in relief.

Merrill Kelly (5-8) allowed five runs and eight hits for Arizona, which has lost six of eight. Ketel Marte hit a solo home run in the eighth to end the Rays’ shutout bid.

Caminero drove in the first run of the game with a base hit to bring in Yandy Díaz in the bottom of the first.

Mullins hit a solo shot and Díaz added a sacrifice fly in the second before leaving with a shoulder injury in the seventh.

Diamondbacks: Host San Francisco on Monday with RHP Ed Rodriguez (6-2, 2.27 ERA) scheduled to face the Giants RHP Tyler Mahle (1-7, 5.49).

Rays: At Kansas City on Tuesday with RHP Griffin Jax (3-5, 3.33) scheduled against Royals LHP Noah Cameron (4-5, 4.50).

Expert Picks

Over 0.5-131

Adrian Del Castillo • Hits • Player Prop

Picked Jun 28 @ 1:08 pm, 1 unit on DraftKings

WIN

The Arizona Diamondbacks have had minimal success against the Tampa Bay Rays pitching staff through the first two games in the series. They have scored just three total runs, and now will see top ace Drew Rasmussen. Rasmussen is likely at his peak market value off of a flawless month of June with a 1.00 ERA. Arizona did give him problems a year ago where he gave up four runs in five innings of work. Look for an unexpected bat to give the DBacks lineup a boost today in Adrian Del Castillo, who is hitting in the clean up spot. Take his total bases/combination line over.

Zack’s Pick

Tampa Bay -1.5+122

Point Spread

Picked Jun 27 @ 11:39 pm, 1 unit on Caesars

WIN

Look at the straddle in the Arizona-Tampa Bay game Sunday that has a price of -184 on the Rays at home, and the run line is +125. There’s actually value in taking the favorite on the run-line in this spot. Tampa Bay has covered the run line the last two nights against Arizona, and they’ve won the last four meetings against the Diamondbacks and nine of their last 10. Now we have one of the most consistent starters in the league with Drew Rasmussen, against Merrill Kelly, who the Diamondbacks have lost his last five starts with him posting a 6.51 ERA. Junior Caminaro has hit five home runs in his last three games for Tampa. Rays to win.

Dbacks recap and results
- Diamondbacks’ Jose Cabrera: Chased in sixth inning
  
  Cabrera (0-1) took the loss Saturday against the Rays, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks in five-plus innings. He struck out four.
  
  Cabrera seemed to have settled in after giving up a run in the first inning, tossing three scoreless innings to follow, but Tampa Bay got to him for three more runs across the fifth and sixth frames. The rookie right-hander struggled a bit with hard contact as well, surrendering three extra-base hits (two home runs). Cabrera has now yielded four runs to go with a 7:2 K:BB across his first 10 innings, and he’ll be looking to rebound against the Brewers his next time out.
- Diamondbacks’ Corbin Carroll: Sets franchise record
  
  Carroll went 2-for-4 with a triple in Friday’s 6-1 loss to the Rays.
  
  Carroll set a franchise record when he roped a first-inning triple, his 10th of the season and franchise-leading 53rd over 566 games in a Diamondbacks uniform. He needed 207 fewer games and more than 800 fewer plate appearances than previous record holder Stephen Drew.
- Diamondbacks’ Pavin Smith: Dropped in order
  
  Smith batted eighth and went 0-for-4 in Friday’s 6-1 loss to Tampa Bay.
  
  Smith extended a hitless run to 14 at-bats and hasn’t got the bat working since coming off the injured list in late May. He’s batting just .154 (8-for-52) with one home run and five RBI while mostly batting fifth in the order.
