Righthander Jose Corniell had a memorable MLB debut in the Rangers†season finale. He struck out the first batter he faced in a scoreless inning and was handed a three-run lead to finish off what would be his first career victory.

But the bottom fell out at Progressive Field as the Guardians scored four times in the 10th inning to clinch the American League Central with a walk-off win. Corniell walked off the mound defeated, but his 2025 was a win.

He finished his rehab from Tommy John surgery, dominated in the minor leagues and reached the majors. The 22-year-old then pitched in the Arizona Fall League.

That points to Corniell making a bigger contribution with the Rangers in 2026.

“He just seems mature beyond his years,†former Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said, “as far as pitching, good command and good secondary pitches he can throw for strikes at any time. Itâ€s important for him to get a taste for next year.â€

Corniell was injured in the spring of 2024, when he made his first appearance in Cactus League action. He was one of the surprises of camp, and Bochy expected Corniell to contribute during the regular season.

His elbow gave way, though, and he entered the difficult rehab process from Tommy John surgery. The process yielded enhanced physical strength and velocity as well as additional mental strength.

“I had to be mentally strong and come back to do what I needed to do,†Corniell said. “I think it’s helped me in the long run to be prepared for whatâ€s ahead.â€

Corniell doesnâ€t turn 23 until June. He came to the Rangers from the Mariners, who signed him from the Dominican Republic for $630,000 before trading him late in 2020 in a deal for reliever Rafael Montero.

Corniell throws three different fastballs and a changeup, but his best secondary offering is his slider. The arsenal overwhelmed minor leaguers in 2025 to the tune of a 1.89 ERA and 41 strikeouts in 38 innings across two levels.

RANGERS ROUNDUP

— Joining Corniell in the Arizona Fall League were catcher Malcolm Moore and righthanders Winston Santos and Emiliano Teodo. All three missed significant time during the season, and Santos and Teodo are members of the 40-man roster who could make their MLB debuts in 2026.

— Righthander Kumar Rocker allowed one run in 2.1 innings on Sept. 18 in his first game action in more than a month. Rocker spent more than a month reworking his mechanics after toiling with them throughout the season. He will be a candidate for the Rangers†rotation in 2026.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim looks to be a target for Portuguese giants Benfica.

The 40-year-old took over at Old Trafford in November 2024, but has faced criticism throughout his tenure due to inconsistent results.

United have won only three of their opening eight matches this season, and were dumped out of the Carabao Cup in the first round by League Two side Grimsby Town.

It seems Benfica hold an interest in Amorim, despite recently appointing Jose Mourinho as their new manager.

Former Benfica striker Nuno Gomes is currently running to become president of the Lisbon-based side, and recently discussed his vision for the future with Portuguese sports paper Record.

Gomes was coy when asked whether he’d be interested in taking Amorim back to Primeira Liga to replace Mourinho, however, and stated, “Ruben is, above all, a great friend to whom I wish success at Manchester United.”

While he couldn’t confirm or deny a future approach for United’s manager, Gomes was more forthcoming with plans to test Manchester City’s resolve on midfielder Bernardo Silva.

“[We] will make every effort”, he said when asked whether he’d like the Portugal international return to his boyhood club.

FourFourTwo understands that United currently have no plans to dispatch of Amorim – but if the club finish below the European places, they could well part ways with the Portuguese, leading to the potential replacement of Mourinho.

Benfica’s presidential elections will take place on October 25th, and rumours surrounding the future of both Amorim and Silva could ramp up if Gomes is elected.

Manchester United take on Liverpool this weekend when Premier League action returns.

The Carolina Hurricanes look to be in line to see an NHL debut tonight as goaltender Brandon Bussi is slated to make his first career start in San Jose after being the first to leave the ice at Tuesday’s morning skate.

The 27-year-old goalie has bided his time, even dressing as the backup for a handful of games over his three year professional career, but the ultimate opportunity is now before him.

“He’s been great,” Hurricanes goaltending coach Paul Schonfelder told The Hockey News. “Good in practice, he has a great attitude, good work ethic. Obviously I didn’t know him personally before he got here, but he’s been great and has fit in real well. He’s worked hard and I think if he shows what he does in practice in a game, then he’ll be fine.”

It’s been quite a month for Bussi, who has gone all the way from an AHL reassignment to the Charlotte Checkers to now playing in the NHL, all in the span of nine days.

Bussi signed this summer with the Florida Panthers after three seasons with the Boston Bruins organization, but he was among the final cuts from the defending Stanley Cup champs, and so he and his fiancée packed the car and headed up north to join the Cats’ AHL affiliate.

One phone call from Hurricanes GM Eric Tulsky, though, changed everything.

And luckily for him, it wasn’t too hard to make a slight adjustment east to Raleigh.

“The hockey world can be crazy at times and that call was a special moment for me, my fiancée and my family, everyone involved,” Bussi told The Hockey News. “Any day you’re in the NHL is a privilege so I’m pretty pumped to be here.”

The next day, the Hurricanes’ assumed third-string goalie Cayden Primeau was claimed off of waivers by the Toronto Maple Leafs and then another day later, Hurricanes netminder Pyotr Kochetkov was sidelined with a lower-body injury.

Life has a funny way of working out like that sometimes.

Bussi hasn’t had a ton of time to get acclimated with his new team, but he said that everyone has welcomed him with open arms so far.

“It’s a great locker room,” Bussi said. “And everything from the top down, management, coach, players, staff, everyone has made me feel super welcome and just like another one of the guys.”

But another aspect of the game that he hasn’t had too much time to get used to either, though, is getting familiar with how the team in front of him plays.

That’s where Schonfelder comes in.

“As far as the team goes, we talk a little bit about systems and what he can expect, stuff on the PK,” Schonfelder said. “But mostly, it’s been about me getting to know him on an individual level. Sometimes it happens quick and obviously Brandon got here pretty quick, so just trying to get an idea of what makes him tick and how he likes to play certain things, so when it’s game time, he can just go out there and play. The process isn’t over yet, to be honest with you, but you just do your best to get caught up and see how it goes.”

However, the Hurricanes have historically done pretty well when bringing in a third or even a fourth goaltender throughout a season.

With injuries to Kochetkov and the Hurricanes wanting to avoid wearing out starting netminder Frederik Andersen this early into the year, the team really has no choice but to give Bussi his shot, but it’s one they feel he is ready for.

“He was somebody I identified in the summertime,” Schonfelder said. “He obviously ended up signing in Florida, but he was somebody who was on my list of people to go after. I had him down as somebody who, he obviously played down in the American league for three years, but is ready to make that jump to the NHL. I feel that’s where his game is at right now.”

Bussi has 111 games of AHL experience under his belt with the Providence Bruins, where he posted a 63-31-13 record along with a 0.915 save percentage and eight shutouts.

“He looks good,” Brind’Amour said. “Big guy. Hopefully we’re not going to be relying on that too much, but if we do, we have a lot of confidence in him.”

Things are heating up fast on the blue brand, and WWE might be gearing up to raise the stakes even higher for next weekâ€s SmackDown.

During the October 10 episode of SmackDown at RAC Arena in Perth, Drew McIntyre ambushed Jacob Fatu backstage, triggering a major response. SmackDown General Manager Adam Pearce wasnâ€t having it and quickly made the match official for the October 17 episode in San Jose, California.

But now it sounds like this showdown could mean even more than just bragging rights. According to Dave Meltzer in the October 10 edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, thereâ€s more to this match than meets the eye.

“Drew McIntyre vs. Jacob Fatu is listed as a match where the winner would get a shot at Cody Rhodes for the world title.â€

While WWE hasnâ€t officially added that stipulation to the match yet, itâ€s very possible an announcement could come before next week. With Survivor Series on the horizon and Cody Rhodes set to defend his title, WWE could use this match to determine his next challenger.

McIntyre has been on a warpath lately, while Fatu has proven himself as an unstoppable force since arriving on SmackDown. Adding a world title opportunity to the mix would make this already explosive match a potential game-changer.

SmackDown has no off-season, and this could be the next chapter in shaping WWEâ€s main event picture as we head toward Crown Jewel and Survivor Series.

Are you hoping WWE makes it official and adds the title shot stipulation to McIntyre vs. Fatu? Drop your predictions and thoughts in the comments section below.

Former Chelsea and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho returned to Benfica last month, 25 years after beginning his managerial career with the Lisbon club.

Mourinho was sacked by Fenerbahce but was quickly snapped up by Benfica, who offered him Champions League football and the chance to go back to West London for his warmest Chelsea reunion yet.

The Blues came out on top on Tuesday, winning 1-0 but losing striker Joao Pedro to a second yellow card deep into second-half stoppage time.

Porto have a 100% record while Benfica have won five matches and are the only other unbeaten team in the division.

“I’d like to say that President Florentino sent me a message saying, ‘I’m very happy that you’ve returned to a club of your calibre’,” Mourinho told the press.

The reunions are coming thick and fast for the new Benfica boss, who takes his team to table-topping Porto for a league fixture on Sunday.

Benfica have been victorious in three of their last four league meetings against their historic rivals and winning both games 4-1 in 2024-25.

Mourinho will also have his moment with Perez. Real Madrid visit the Estadio da Luz at the end of January as the two teams wrap up their league phase campaigns in the Champions League.

The hair is whiter now.

Mourinho has portrayed himself as “more altruistic” and “less egocentric”, which will no doubt amuse those who have followed his career.

The Benfica manager has even insisted he has not returned to his homeland to “wage war” after reaching out to Porto president Andre Villas-Boas – his former colleague – and Sporting president Frederico Varandas.

Yet the obsession remains.

“Others accept defeat, but he fights that,” Peseiro said. “Even now, he doesn’t accept losing. He lives for football.

“Normally, when you age, you understand. ‘I lose, no problem, it’s life’ – but he’s still the same. He has less friends than others because the focus is football, football, football. He’s a passionate guy. He doesn’t like to lose. He wants to win.”

It won’t come as a surprise, then, that in his first week at Benfica, Mourinho took aim at the video assistant referee.

He also spoke directly to referee Sergio Guelho at half-time to ask why he had not booked Rio Ave goalkeeper Cezary Miszta for slowing the game down during a 1-1 draw.

And he’s not exactly been shy in critiquing his own side in public, claiming they were “naive” after conceding a late equaliser.

Sound familiar?

Kalou was 20 when he joined Chelsea and walked into a heavyweight dressing room fresh from winning back-to-back Premier League titles under Mourinho.

The Ivorian quickly realised his new manager was a straight talker.

“What I liked about him the most was his honesty,” he said. “He will never sugar-coat anything. As a player, I respected that.”

Kalou felt the full force of Mourinho’s sharp tongue even after the Portuguese left.

After watching Kalou score against his Inter Milan side, in 2010, Mourinho knocked on the Chelsea team bus post-match and asked his former player to come outside.

“When you were with me, you didn’t score like this,” he told him. “Be careful!”

Football has changed, of course.

But Mourinho made it clear to his Benfica players following his appointment that he would be “very direct”.

As well as pledging he would say a “lot of good things”, he also vowed to tell them “a lot of bad things”.

MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee’s Jose Quintana and Trevor Megill threw to hitters Friday as they attempt to work their way off the injured list while the Brewers sort out their pitching options for the postseason.

Quintana threw 45 pitches while going up and down three times to simulate having worked three innings. Megill worked the equivalent of one inning.

“I thought Quintana looked fantastic,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said.

Quintana last pitched for the Brewers on Sept. 14 as he deals with an injured left calf. Megill, the All-Star closer recovering from a right flexor strain, made his last appearance Aug. 24.

Given Megill’s long layoff, the Brewers would like to play him in a game this weekend so that he doesn’t go straight from the injured list to pitching in the postseason. Murphy said Megill’s chances of pitching this weekend depend on how the right-hander responds Saturday.

The Brewers, who have clinched their third straight NL Central title, have plenty of uncertainty regarding their postseason pitching staff due to multiple injuries.

Editor’s Picks

Brandon Woodruff went on the injured list Sunday with a right lat strain, leaving Milwaukee’s starting rotation for the NL Division Series unclear beyond Freddy Peralta and Quinn Priester. Woodruff’s status for the postseason remains uncertain.

Quintana, who owns an 11-7 record and 3.96 earned run average, went 0-1 with a 3.14 ERA in three postseason starts with the New York Mets last season. In his last four starts before going on the injured list, Quintana allowed 17 runs over 20â…” innings.

Murphy has indicated that rookie Jacob Misiorowski likely wouldn’t be a Game 3 starter in the NL Division Series. Misiorowski pitched so well in his first five starts that he earned an All-Star Game selection, but he has allowed 21 runs over 30â…“ innings since coming off the injured list in mid-August.

But it doesn’t appear as though Misiorowski would work in short relief. Rather, the Brewers would probably try to find a way for Misiorowski to have essentially the same pitch counts he’s produced in a starting role.

The Brewers figure to test that out this weekend by having Misiorowski work multiple innings in relief. The likely scenario would have him come in Saturday in relief of starter Robert Gasser, who will be making just his second major league appearance of the season after coming back from Tommy John surgery.

“I think he’s an important piece,” Murphy said. “I think he’s got huge upside and he’s got huge possibilities, huge possibilities for us.”

Rebuilds arenâ€t supposed to be fun. But even by incredibly low standards, the last few years in San Jose have been tougher than most. After falling just shy of a berth in the 2019 Stanley Cup Final, the club bottomed out before leaning all the way into an extensive tear-down that has required plenty of patience.

Last year showed signs of life — okay, maybe not in the standings, where the Sharks†painful 20-50-12 record earned them just 52 points and the second overall selection one year after picking first. But it was there. Rookies Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith took their first strides, second-year pro William Eklund found his footing, and while Yaroslav Askarov stumbled in his first year in teal, his presence gives the young club a netminder to build around.

• 32 Thoughts: The Podcast

  Hockey fans already know the name, but this is not the blog. From Sportsnet, 32 Thoughts: The Podcast with NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman and Kyle Bukauskas is a weekly deep dive into the biggest news and interviews from the hockey world.

  Latest episode

The building continues in 2025-26, with more fresh faces looking for roster spots — top prospects Michael Misa and Sam Dickinson among them — and brighter days (read: more wins!) on the horizon. How many more wins is the big question here. Because while the club is expected to progress in the standings, success in the upcoming campaign likely wonâ€t be measured in the win column alone. Meaningful hockey in March would be a great place to start.

The year ahead should see plenty of new faces get their first starts with the club as the team looks to continue its youth movement, but the veteran additions can be just as important to help the vision come to life. While there is understandably a lot of focus up front this year as the Sharks look to up their offensive game and turn things over to the kids, the 2025-26 season will be a year of much change on the blue line, too. The signing of Orlov to a two-year, $13-million pact this summer instantly made the 34-year-old not only the highest paid rearguard on the roster but the owner of the longest current contract at the position. The lone defenceman signed beyond this season, Orlov brings valuable experience — 10 straight years of playoff hockey, including a Stanley Cup ring in Washington — and a stable presence to San Joseâ€s blue line in a year of change. With top defensive prospect Sam Dickinson looking to break into the lineup, and second-year NHLer Shakir Mukhamadullin hoping to build on last seasonâ€s promising start, the Sharks should be able to rely on Orlov to help set the tone while also providing a little offence from the back end after bouncing back in the stats department the last two years in Carolina.Â

Under-the-radar player to watch: Shakir Mukhamadullin

Speaking of the blue line, all that opportunity bodes well for 23-year-old Mukhamadullin to make the most of his one-year, $1-million bridge deal and prove to Sharks brass heâ€s a piece the club can build around. The 2020 first rounder (Devils) started last season with the AHL Barracuda and once he got the call from the big club last December was able to stick with the Sharks. Nine points in 30 games with San Jose show glimpses of his offensive upside. Where he fits in depends at least in part on whether top D prospect Dickinson can solidify his spot on the roster out of camp. Dickinson has the potential to be a franchise cornerstone in teal. If Mukhamadullin can find his footing as a top-four guy, the Sharks will have the beginnings of a strong young unit.Â

Top prospect: Michael Misa

Misaâ€s arrival couldnâ€t have come at a better time for the Sharks, whose offence struggled mightily last season as the club turned over its top six to the youth movement. Misa is as creative as they come, a masterful playmaker and setup man but also a dangerous scoring threat no matter the play. A something-from-nothing scorer, Misaâ€s spectacular showing in Saginaw last season — 62 goals and 134 points in 65 games and the leagueâ€s most outstanding player title — shows a player whoâ€s ready for his next challenge. The Sharks†second overall selection in June signed his entry-level deal in time to attend training camp, and while he has yet to actually make the opening-night roster itâ€s hard not to imagine the magic Misa can bring to a top six that includes Celebrini, Smith, and Eklund. Speed bumps abound, sure, but this could be fun.

1. Can Celebrini lead Sharks†offence out of the basement?

The Sharks ranked dead last in goal-scoring per game (2.54) in 2024-25, despite the addition of first-overall pick Celebrini and 2023 first-rounder Will Smith taking the reins. Celebriniâ€s 25 goals and team-leading 63 points was a great start for the top talent of the Class of 2024, and all signs point to both numbers rising in Year 2. Tyler Toffoliâ€s 30 markers on the season set the pace, with only he and Celebrini scoring more than 20 goals on the season. A full NHL off-season for Celebrini and Smith, plus another year for Eklund to build on, should see this group grow together, and the aforementioned Misa getting a good, long NHL look could yield some strong chemistry, too.

2. How many rookies will make the jump?

The youth surge is in full swing, and whether top prospects like Misa and Dickinson can make their mark will tell us a lot about what to expect from the Sharks†rebuild timeline. But while Misa and Dickinson are the biggest names on the brink of making their NHL debuts, they arenâ€t the only ones pressing. Winger Quentin Musty, San Joseâ€s 26th overall pick from 2023, turned pro last spring when he joined the AHL Barracuda for a short stint. He brings size and speed off the rush and a little sandpaper to board battles in his quest to make the Sharks roster. Igor Chernyshov, too, is a big body with speed who will likely warrant some attention should he get an opportunity.Â

3. Can Yaroslav Askarov prove heâ€s the guy?

When the Sharks traded for top goaltending prospect Yaroslav Askarov last August, the team appeared confident theyâ€d found their long-term franchise netminder. A lacklustre start to his Sharks tenure shouldnâ€t deter that feeling, but thereâ€s no denying this season holds a little extra pressure for the 23-year-old to regain his footing. Askarov started just 13 games for San Jose last season as he dealt with injury issues, posting an uncharacteristic 3.10 goals-against average and equally uninspiring .896 save percentage. He looked better during his stint with the Barracuda — especially in the playoffs — and is poised to reclaim his crease with the Sharks and make good on his second chance at a first impression. While the top job is his, San Joseâ€s signing of backup Alex Nedeljkovic this summer helps solidify things should the injury bug strike, and will be worth watching if San Jose opts to deploy the duo as a tandem to help both thrive.Â

The San Jose Sharks hosted the Vegas Golden Knights in their first preseason action of the 2025-26 season on Sunday night.

In the first period, we got our first look at head coach Ryan Warsofskyâ€s special teams units. Egor Afanasyev was sent to the penalty box for tripping at 5:20, and the penalty kill held strong. There were a few interesting names getting time as well. Sam Dickinson got a shot on the blue line, while Michael Misa and Will Smith were paired together on the penalty kill as well.

Alex Nedeljkovic made a phenomenal save while shorthanded as well, denying Raphael Lavoie on a cross-crease attempt. Misa was tripped up by Cole Schwindt at 8:14 in the first period, making a nice falling pass and drawing a penalty. Quentin Musty had a great chance off a pass from Dickinson as the penalty expired, but was denied by the Golden Knights†22-year-old goalie, Carl Lindbom.

One play that stood out to me early was off of an offensive zone turnover by the Sharks. Vegas attempted to break out of their defensive zone, and Pavol Regenda pulled off a perfectly timed stick lift to dispossess the Golden Knights and regain the puck in a dangerous area.

Warsofsky specifically said he was interested in seeing what Anthony Vincent brought to the table after the non-game groupâ€s morning skate, and it was clear why. He was making smart plays and creating some chances off the rush early on. With that being said, he did make a major error in the second period and was less noticeable as the game went on.

After the first period, it was still a 0-0 deadlock, but the Golden Knights led 9-4 in shots.

Early in the second period, there were a couple of defensive plays that certainly stood out. Nick Leddyâ€s speed is still dangerous, as he rushed back and closed out a Golden Knights zone entry attempt, allowing the Sharks to regain possession. Dickinson also had a great poke-check denying a rush attempt by Vegas forward Brett Howden.

Afanasyev drew a penalty just over seven minutes into the second period, and it didnâ€t take long for the Sharks power play to take advantage. Michael Misa won the faceoff to Tyler Toffoli, who found John Klingberg on the point. Klingberg fired it and found the back of the net through a screen, breaking the deadlock and giving the Sharks a 1-0 lead.

Vegas made a goaltending change shortly after the first goal in an attempt to split time between Lindbom and Jesper Vikman. Lindbom played a total of 31:29 before Vikman took over in the crease.

Jeff Skinner was a major standout in the second period. He created space for himself early in the period and was denied on a rush opportunity. He then scored right before the end of the period, when Will Smith made a great backhand pass to the slot. It landed on Dickinsonâ€s stick, who found Skinner in front of the net, making it 2-0 for the Sharks. Itâ€s important to note that right before getting the secondary assist, Smith was hauled down in the defensive zone and drew a penalty.

Misa took a tripping penalty 11:52 into the second period. Near the end of the penalty, the Sharks were called for too many men, giving the Golden Knights a short 5-on-3 opportunity. The San Jose penalty kill would prevail, and Vegas remained without a goal through two periods.

Toffoli toe-dragged around the Vegas defense early in the third, but after walking in, he was denied by Vikman on the backhand attempt.

Zack Ostapchuk was called for interference with 7:31 remaining in regulation, giving Vegas a golden opportunity to get back in the game. That opportunity would be wasted though, as the Sharks’ penalty kill improved to 4-for-4 on the night.

Despite a late push by the Golden Knights, the Sharks were able to maintain the shutout and, after an empty net goal by Toffoli, they walked away with a 3-0 victory to kick off the preseason.

Nedeljkovic was tested quite a bit early on, but that faded away in the latter half of the game. He made quite a few key saves including a late-game breakaway by Alexander Holtz. So far, he has looked like a solid addition for the Sharks. Considering thereâ€s still uncertainty about how well Yaroslav Askarov will play this season, Nedeljkovic seems like heâ€ll certainly add some stability in the crease.

Philipp Kurashev also looked very solid, making smart plays throughout the night, and overall being in the right spot at the right time.

Quentin Musty was noticeably faster, and his offseason work was paying dividends. Misa was another prospect who definitely didn’t look out of place, he’s adapting to the professional game very quickly and seems primed to have a strong rookie season if what we’ve seen so far continues into the regular season. Dickinson is in a similar situation, as he looked very good as well.

The Sharks will have their second preseason game of the season on Friday, as they once again face the Golden Knights.
