Oakland's Pitcher Out Of Hospital; Cubs Win, Cardinals Lose

Bassitt has broken bones in his cheek that will need surgery to  fix, but he didn’t have any eye damage, a brain scan was normal, and he hasn’t shown any signs of a concussion.

Tigers' Broadcaster Suspended Indefinitely

Detroit Tigers broadcaster Jack Morris has been suspended indefinitely for racial comments he made about Los Angeles Angels player Shohei Ohtani during Tuesday’s game.

When speaking about how the Tigers should pitch to Ohtani, Morris used an exaggerated Asian accent and said, “be very, very careful.”

Morris apologized when Ohtani came up to bat again, saying, “[I] sincerely apologize if I offended anybody, especially in the Asian community, for what I said.”

Bally Sports Detroit announced the suspension Wednesday saying the Hall of Fame former pitcher would undergo bias training.

Bauer Expected To Take Stand Today

The 27-year-old woman who’s accused Trevor Bauer of assaulting her during two sexual encounters was questioned for a third day Wednesday as she seeks a five-year restraining order against the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher.

Bauer’s attorney again asked about texts she sent to Bauer, including one that said, “gimme all the pain” and indicated she wanted to be choked. But she said, “To me, text messages do not mean consent. I did not consent to hurting all over my body and being put in the hospital and having things done to me when I was unconscious.”

Bauer is expected to take the stand today, but his attorneys said he’ll only state his name and that he’s a Major League BAseball player and will invoke the Fifth Amendment if asked any more questions.
