Chopped Castaways already has a little mess on its hands, which is the whole point. The premiere sent Sunny Moody home after the Blue Team’s weakest dish put her and Logan Sandoval into the first Gauntlet, and Logan’s survival means Episode 2 starts with one chef already carrying bottom-two baggage back to camp.

The Athletics head to Anaheim at 23-23, still hanging around the AL West race despite Sunday’s ugly bullpen-and-defense collapse, while the Angels sit at 16-31, buried in last place and searching for any version of the lineup that can give Mike Trout enough company.

Baltimore arrives at Tropicana Field at 21-26, still trying to turn a talented roster into something less uneven, while Tampa Bay walks in at 30-15, first in the AL East and carrying the best record in the American League. The contrast is jarring because the Orioles still have the louder collection of names, but the […]

Brendan Donovan’s return from the injured list lasted barely more than a week before the groin/core issue resurfaced. The Mariners placed Donovan on the 10-day IL with a strained left groin after he had been out of the lineup for several days with what had been described more vaguely as an injury concern. This looks […]
