On the Headline Sports with London:

#1 Will the Los Angeles Dodgers re-sign Manny Machado? Would it have an impact on the club and will other players start to ask for more dough if Machado ends up being the highest-priced player on the club?

#2 The Baltimore Ravens’ top cornerback Jimmy Smith has been suspended for four games for violating the NFL’s domestic abuse policy for making “threatening and emotionally abusive behaviors” according to a league statement towards his girlfriend. Marlon Humphrey, a 2017 first round draft pick, will start at corner with 10-year veteran Brandon Carr.

#3 The Washington Nationals, who moved into the .500 position 63-63 by defeating the Philadelphia Phillies in a laugher on Tuesday night 10-4, after the club dealt Daniel Murphy to the Chicago Cubs and Matt Adams was traded St Louis Cardinals.

#4 It’s quite the way that Indianapolis Colts’ play-by-play announcer Bob Lamey wanted to go out, but he was in the studio with an black employee at WTRH radio in Indianapolis–the flagship station of the Colts–and had used the N-word (not on the air). Lamey is a legend in the annals of Colts broadcasting calling games since 1984. The employee was talking with Lamey when Lamey used the word when he was retelling a story the employee was offended and later reported it to human resources Lamey retired last Sunday after team members spoke with him about using the word.

#5 The Oakland A’s continue to tear it up and this homestand is no different. They rolled over the first-place Houston Astros, taking two out of three, then they took the first two games of the three-game series against the Texas Rangers. With the win Tuesday night, the A’s moved into first place for the first time this season by a 1/2 game.
