Kyler Gordon's 2025 season never really got off the ground. Injuries limited him to just five appearances between the regular season and playoffs. It was a frustrating development for a player expected to anchor the secondary, especially with his three-year, $40 million extension set to kick in beginning in 2026. Kyler Gordon's 2025 Snapshot Instead of building on his trajectory, Gordon spent most of the year rehabbing, leaving questions about durability hanging over what was supposed to be a stabilizing season.
"Day'Ron is special," Dëmin said. "His superpower is rebounding. A lot of his points are putbacks and those aren't easy. I joke with him that the last couple of weeks he's been looking for me a lot coming off handoffs and ball screens, and I tell him when he sets screens, I'm going to find him. The more you play together, the more confidence you build, and he makes the game easier for everybody."
It's the second stint with the Dodgers for the 31-year-old Almonte. He was with Los Angeles in 2022-23, combining for 83 1/3 innings with a 3.35 ERA, 23.9% strikeout rate and 11.9% walk rate out of manager Dave Roberts' bullpen. That production came in quite uneven fashion, however; Almonte delivered 35 1/3 innings of immaculate 1.02 ERA ball in 2022 but was roughed up for a 5.06 mark in 48 innings in 2023.
As they write, the Serbian has suffered a 'high-impact direct trauma', due to the tackle from Ignace Van der Brempt, who did not even get booked... The defender has been left with a 'large hematoma of the soft tissue and edematous-hemorrhagic imbibition of the fibular bone without interruption of the cortex'. In other words, a very strong blow, but not a fracture.
After the skate, Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill provided a somewhat cautious update on Kaiser's status. He said Kaiser will not be available coming out of the break, but the coach does expect Kaiser to play again this season. That's good news. Kaiser, 23, ranks third among Blackhawks defensemen averaging 19:10 per game. He's emerged as a key part of the Blackhawks' exceptional penalty kill, averaging 2:00 per game short-handed.
"I don't feel ideal, but hockey is a tough sport," Fehervary told STV's Patrik Mitas, as translated via Google Translate. "I don't think it's fair, especially when it's on your head. I'm glad I finished the game."
Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has suffered a fresh injury setback and is likely to miss the north London derby against Tottenham, sources have told ESPN. The 26-year-old has been restricted to just seven appearances this season and only returned to action last month after suffering a knee problem on the opening weekend of the campaign.

Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg has a left midfoot sprain that will sideline him through All-Star Weekend, the team announced Wednesday.

Barcelona stars Marcus Rashford and Raphinha both missed training on Wednesday as Hansi Flick's side continued preparations for tomorrow's Copa del Rey semi-final against Atletico Madrid. Raphinha is still yet to resume first-team training after being diagnosed with an overload and has admitted this week that that he's "better, but not 100%" yet. However, Rashford also did not take part in the session, meaning he also appears to be a doubt for the game.
Pascal Struijk will definitely miss this game; he has problems with his hip flexor. [Anton] Stach will be back, probably just for the [Aston] Villa game. Apart from this, I hope to have everyone available. You miss a player with red-hot form. Pascal was a rock in the last weeks. He is the only left-footed centre-back. If you play with three at the back, it makes a difference. A right-footed player has different passing angles.
Liverpool were beaten by Manchester City on Sunday and suffered the late twist of a red card for Dominik Szoboszlai, who will miss the Reds' midweek fixture through suspension.
