On the MLB The Show podcast with Matt:

The Los Angeles Angels reported that superstar Japanese pitcher Shohei Ohtani was placed on the D.L. on Friday night for a Grade 2 UCL strain. Ohtani was given a PRP and stem cell injection on Friday by Dr. Steve Yoon in Los Angeles. Dr. Yoon said that he would re-evaluate Ohtani’s progress in three weeks. If things don’t improve, Dr. Yoon and the Angels did mention Tommy John surgery could be in the equation.

The Washington Nationals’ star pitcher Stephen Strasburg has been suffering through shoulder inflammation. It was discovered on Friday night after pitching to the San Francisco Giants that Strasburg was having the shoulder problems.

The San Diego Padres have suspended pitcher Jose Torres for 100 games, which is being served retroactively. In December, in Phoenix, Torres broke down a locked door, punched a hole in another locked door and pointed a gun at his female roommate threatening to kill her.

Former MLB infielder and Philadelphia Phillie Lenny Dykstra is facing charges for making terrorist threats and possession of illegal drugs after threatening to shoot a Uber driver. Dykstra got into the car and wanted to change destinations. The driver told Dykstra to make the changes on his Uber app, but Dykstra took a pill bottle and put it behind the head of the driver and said he would blow his head off if he didn’t take him where he wanted to go. According to Dykstra, the driver was blowing through red lights and was driving to a police station where he told police he was threatened by Dykstra. Dykstra in turn charged the Uber driver for false imprisonment for keeping him in the car while he was being driven to the police station. Both are being criminally charged, respectfully.

Len goes over the takeaways from this season’s NHL Stanley Cup Finals first-year franchise team the Vegas Golden Knights and the season they had. The Knights were just out-gunned and out-played in game 5.

The Knights and the Capitals tied up the game twice on Thursday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, but in the end the Knights were just no match for the Caps, who won four straight games to win the Stanley Cup. Len also talks about playoff MVP Alex Ovechkin. Also, how the Caps just simply shut down the Knights’ game plan to take them out of the finals.

On the San Francisco Giants podcast with Michael:

The Giants’ run of six wins out of their last seven shows the team has come together like no other time of the season. Giants’ shortstop Brandon Crawford has had a great month of May and continues with a game-winning hit on Wednesday a 10th inning RBI single.

Manager Bruce Bochy said of Crawford, “We couldn’t have asked for a better hitter up there.” The Giants head on a nine-game road trip starting tonight in Washington. The Giants have a road record 12-20 and are looking to improve their record. With what’s happened lately, can the Giants do it?

Hunter Pence made his return on Wednesday with a hit in one at-bat. How much of an impact will he make now that he has returned?

NHL Stanley Cup Finals Vegas Knights podcast with Mary Lisa Walsh: It could be Good Knight for Vegas if they don’t get a Game 5 win

On the Vegas Golden Knights podcast with Mary Lisa Walsh:

For the Vegas Golden Knights, who won Game 1 and then lost three straight games, they are now facing elimination on Thursday night at the T-Mobile Center in Vegas for Game 5 as they’re down 3-1 in the series to the Washington Capitals.

We’ll take a look at some of the things the Caps have done to shutdown the Knights in this series. Also, we’ll discuss what Washington head coach Barry Trotz has done to keep the Caps charging. In addition, we’ll talk about some of the Knights’ key players who have been shut down by the Caps like Alex Tuch, Jonathan Marchessault, and goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. Game 5 is on the horizon Thursday night in Vegas. Can the Knights do it? The Knights will need this one to stay alive and force a Game 6.

Historical note: No NHL team has ever come back down 3-1 since 1942. The Toronto Maple Leafs did it against the Detroit Red Wings to win 4-3.

NHL Stanley Cup Finals Washington Capitals podcast with Marko Ukalovic: Caps can wrap it up in Game 5 in Vegas on Thursday night at the T-Mobile Center

On the Washington Capitals podcast with Marko Ukalovic:

The Washington Capitals can come away with their first NHL Finals championship in 20 years Thursday night if they can take out the Vegas Golden Knights on their home ice. The Caps have the talent to get the job done with Evgeny Kuznetsov, who got four assists on Monday night against the Knights in Game 4.

“I’ve never been there,” said Kuznetsov in the postgame presser. “And I don’t really care about that yet, so it’s kind of easy for me.” Kuznetsov got help from his teammates T.J. Oshie, Tom Wilson, and Devante Smith-Pelly, who all scored in the first period. It was a matter of attack early because if the Knights can get an opening, they will take it to you with their great speed. Caps goaltender Braden Holtby stopped 28 shots on Monday.

Vegas hit the post with several shots, but it was for not they got two goals on Monday and lost by four goals 6-2. Fleury called losing Game 4 “frustrating and demoralizing.” The Knights will have to try and repeat what they did in game one and take it to the Caps early and quickly and they will have to do it in three games straight if they want this Cinderella season to continue.

Historical note: No NHL team has ever come back down 3-1 since the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs did it against the Detroit Red Wings to win 4-3.
