TORONTO — The Dodgers have set a date for Shohei Ohtaniâ€s first World Series start — Game 4 on Tuesday — and theyâ€ve set the rest of their rotation through Game 4 as well.

Hours before Yoshinobu Yamamoto took the mound on Saturday night at Rogers Centre, manager Dave Roberts announced that Tyler Glasnow would get the ball for Game 3 on Monday at Dodger Stadium. Ohtani is set to follow Glasnow in Game 4 on Tuesday, Roberts said.

Itâ€s the same rotation the Dodgers used for their National League Championship Series sweep of the Brewers. The alignment would allow all four starters to pitch on the rest they’re accustomed to.

Snell would have four days off between Game 1 and a potential Game 5. The same goes for Glasnow between Games 3 and 7. With both of the Series†off-days between his starts, Yamamoto would have five days between Games 2 and 6, leaving Ohtani to make his start in Game 4. Itâ€s then possible that he would be available in relief should the series go the distance.

Thereâ€s only one stage bigger: the World Series. Saturday marked Ohtaniâ€s seventh World Series game. But he has yet to pitch in any of them after spending last season recovering from Tommy John surgery.

The Blue Jays†loaded starting lineup has already proven a tougher challenge than any of Los Angeles†opponents in the postseason. Toronto chased Snell after five-plus innings on Friday in an 11-4 victory.

Itâ€s entirely possible that the decisive matchup of the World Series will be the Blue Jays†relentless offense against the Dodgers†quartet of aces. Even with Snellâ€s Game 1 dud, Dodgers starters have posted a 1.95 ERA in 11 games this postseason, averaging 6 1/3 innings per start.

The Miami Heat have no obvious incentive to place Tyler Herro on the NBA’s trade block.

Dig the slightest bit beneath the surface, though, and you’ll find ample arguments for doing exactly that.

The Heat just let their extension window with the 2024-25 All-Star pass without getting a deal done. Moreover, in the leadup to Monday’s deadline, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported there hadn’t “been substantive talks” about ironing out an extension.

In the same piece, Tim Bontemps added that Miami wanted to keep its books as clean as possible, because it is “planning for that aforementioned 2027 free agent class.” As Bontemps detailed, that free agent group could include Nikola Jokić, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Donovan Mitchell, Anthony Davis, Stephen Curry, Kawhi Leonard and several other household names.

That’s a staggering amount of stars, all of whom have shined much brighter than Herro. So, it’s understandable that Miami could be more intrigued by the possibility of adding an elite rather than locking up the best player on a 45-loss team that needed a pair of wins to make it through the play-in tournament—only to be swiftly swept out of the postseason’s opening round.

The Heat have to aim higher than this. And they can do so without just crossing their fingers and hoping that recent trends regarding stars extending with their current clubs stops holding at some point between now and the 2027 summer.

A Herro trade is the way to make that happen.

While he isn’t the kind of player who would command a king’s ransom on the trade market, he’d have his share of suitors. His career numbers might make some of last season’s stats look like outliers (his 23.9 points, 5.5 assists, 3.3 three-pointers and 47.2 field-goal percentage were all career-highs), but at 25 years old, it’s entirely possible this was just a young player evolving into a greater form.

He might have his best years still ahead of him. And despite not getting a deal done, he offers a bit of security, since his current contract still spans both this season and next.

Some will argue these are reasons Miami should keep him. That all goes back to the “no obvious reasons to trade him” part of the discussion.

It could be true, but only if the Heat felt they held the kind of talent capable of dramatically improving their standing in the East. Maybe they hold that kind of hope for Kel’el Ware, Nikola Jović and newcomer Norman Powell, but it’s tough to spot the transcendent talent from the outside.

Miami, which has been eliminated from the first round each of the past two seasons, needs to find better, more reliable stars to build around. It also might need to up its talent level in order to attract those high-end players. Its built-in market advantages only look so attractive when the on-court product isn’t great.

The Heat should use a Herro trade to pursue that end goal.

Maybe that means packaging Herro with additional assets to chase an elite right now. Perhaps it’s just using a Herro trade to stockpile the kind of assets that could facilitate a blockbuster deal down the road.

The Heat should remain as opportunistic and flexible as possible. If they want to strengthen their pitch to potential 2027 targets, bringing in a more high-profile star before then would do it. So, too, could having the option of acquiring multiple elites that summer.

Remember, Miami just saw Herro at his absolute best (at least so far), and it didn’t really matter. It didn’t have the supporting cast to elevate around him, and his on-court influence only extended so far considering he’s just a one-way contributor.

The Heat can’t continue down this path. And if their focus is already on free agents who are two years away from (potentially) reaching the market, it seems as if they already know that.

Miami has talent on its roster — Bam Adebayo is widely respected as one of the better two-way centers in the league, Tyler Herro was an All-Star last season, and the addition of Norman Powell brings more scoring — but it doesnâ€t have a top-10 player, a championship cornerstone kind of player on the roster.

That appears to have impacted contract extension talks with Herro, as discussed by Tim Bontemps and Brian Windhorst at ESPN. Herro has two seasons and $64 million still on his contract and would like to discuss an extension, but that went nowhere, Windhorst reported.

“Tyler Herro is coming off an All-Star season and is definitely interested in extending with the Heat, but there havenâ€t been substantive talks to his point and a deal is doubtful, sources say.â€

Miami wants to keep max cap space heading into the summer of 2027 — when the class could theoretically include Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, Karl-Anthony Towns, Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, Trae Young, Kyrie Irving and others — Bontemps reports. Not having an extension with Herro adds flexibility (the only locked-in salaries on the Heat books in the summer of 2027 are Bam Adebayo at $53.8 million and Nikola Jovic at $14.9 million).

That cap space is more about flexibility, max players are not jumping teams via free agency very often under the current CBA. Plus, look at the names on that list. Jokic has said he wants to be a Nugget forever, and they just retooled the roster to better fit around him. Whatever happens with Antetokounmpo will be decided next summer when the Bucks offer him a max contract extension and he either signs it or Milwaukee entertains trade offers. New York is likely to extend Towns next summer. The rest of that list likely doesnâ€t get to true free agency, either.

What is clear is that when a big name becomes available via trade, the Heat will be one of the teams in the mix. A lot of those elite players would fit nicely next to Herro, but it looks like Miami wants to keep its options open.

A contract extension agreement between the Miami Heat and star shooting guard Tyler Herro isn’t likely to occur, according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.

“Tyler Herro is coming off an All-Star season and is definitely interested in extending with the Heat, but there haven’t been substantive talks to his point and a deal is doubtful, sources say,” Windhorst reported Friday.

Long-term extensions for Heat wings Andrew Wiggins and Norman Powell are “unlikely,” per Windhorst. Powell could sign a short-term deal instead, though.

Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald previously reported that Miami would be open to extending Powell, who was acquired in a July 7 trade with the Los Angeles Clippers, if he can start the 2025-26 season on a high note.

Herro still has two years remaining on a four-year extension worth $120 million that he signed in Oct. 2022. He’ll earn $31 million for the 2025-26 season before receiving $33 million for his 2026-27 campaign, via Spotrac.

Herro exceeded expectations for the Heat last season, averaging a career-high 23.9 points and 5.5 assists per game. His 47.2 field-goal percentage also represented a new personal-best mark and the sharpshooter connected on 37.5 percent of his triples.

Concerns from Miami regarding a new extension could stem from Herro’s ensuing playoff performance, as he averaged just 17.8 points per game on 41.5 percent shooting as the Heat were swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round.

He’ll also be sidelined for the start of the upcoming regular season after undergoing foot surgery on Sept. 19.

Wiggins could take on a larger offensive role in Herro’s absence, as he enters his first full season in Miami after he was acquired in the Feb. 6 trade that sent Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors.

Wiggins averaged 19.0 points and 4.2 rebounds to go along with 3.3 assists per game on 45.8/36.0/73.1 shooting splits after the change of scenery.

MILWAUKEE — Tyler Glasnow will start Game 3 of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers, followed by Shohei Ohtani in Game 4.

Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts made the announcement before Tuesday’s Game 2 of the series.

Glasnow last started on Thursday, throwing six scoreless innings in L.A.’s Game 4 clincher of the division series against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Meanwhile, Ohtani hasn’t pitched since Oct. 4, when he allowed three runs over six innings against the Philadelphia Philies in Game 1 of the NL Division Series. Of course, he has served as the Dodgers’ leadoff hitter and DH in every postseason game since then, and the order of the pitchers back in Los Angeles could allow Ohtani to add another role to his already-bursting résumé.

“Shohei has been fine with rest,” Roberts said. “Potentially lines him up if we need a Game 7 out of the pen.”

Glasnow also has pitched out of the bullpen this October, throwing 1â…” scoreless frames in relief of Ohtani in that start against Cincinnati.

“Game 3, we feel that Tyler is on regular rest, so it kind of lines him up, as well,” Roberts said. “So, just kind of all these things just made sense.”

The Dodgers grabbed a 1-0 lead in the NLCS with a tense 2-1 decision on Monday at American Family Field.

Games 3 and 4 will be played this Thursday and Friday at Dodger Stadium, as the defending champions seek to return to the World Series for the fifth time in the past nine seasons.

The Brewers have not announced their pitching plans for Game 3 or Game 4.

After undergoing foot surgery on Sept. 19, Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro provided an update on his recovery timetable on Monday.

“I’ll be back in eight to 12 weeks,” Herro told reporters, per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.

ESPN’s Shams Charania and Ohm Youngmisuk previously reported Herro was expected to miss approximately the first 12 games of the season. Herro dealt with an impingement in his left foot during the 2024-25 season and subsequently suffered an ankle injury this offseason that ultimately led to him having surgery.

Herro earned his first All-Star nod last season, as the Kentucky alum averageda career-high 23.9 points on 37.5 percent three-point shooting and 5.5 assists per game in 77 starts.

Herro has had an interesting journey in the NBA thus far. He was the No. 13 overall pick in the 2019 draft and played a big role off the bench for head coach Erik Spoelstra to help the Heat advance to the Finals during his rookie season.

In 21 appearances during that postseason run, Herro averaged 16.0 points on 37.5 percent three-point shooting with 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists. He continued to be used primarily off the bench for the next two seasons.

Herro was awarded the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year award for the 2021-22 campaign. The Kentucky alum averaged a career-high 20.7 points per game and shot 39.9 percent behind the arc in 66 appearances.

The Heat made a surprise run to the NBA Finals without their sharpshooting guard. He was active for Game 5 of the Finals against the Denver Nuggets, but Spoelstra opted not to use him.

NBA insider Jake Fischer noted in the aftermath of the 2023 NBA draft there was “increased speculation” from team personnel that Herro could be on the trade block following Jordan Poole’s move from the Golden State Warriors to the Washington Wizards.

However, Herro—who signed a four-year, $130 million contract extension in December 2022—has seemingly found a home in Miami, as he has turned into an All-Star.

Now, the Heat will hope to get Herro back early on in the season to try to build on last season’s playoff appearance.

SEATTLE — Locked in as the National League’s No. 3 seed with the regular season winding down, the Dodgers have been able to spend the weekend series at T-Mobile Park preparing for the NL Wild Card Series.

That has involved resting their regulars — Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernández sat out of Saturday night’s 5-3 win, while Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman were out the prior game — and taking a critical look at their roster to decide who should make the cut for the postseason.

“Now you see guys playing, competing for an opportunity to be on the postseason roster and also potentially getting innings,” manager Dave Roberts said. “I like that fight, and they’re leaving it all out there. That’s all I ask. And not be afraid to fail. Leave everything you have out there on the field.”

The Dodgers won’t find out which team — either the Reds or the Mets — will seize the third NL Wild Card spot until after Game 162. That could influence some of their decisions. Here are some of the biggest roster questions facing them before their postseason begins on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium:

Could Tyler Glasnow be available out of the ‘pen?
Friday ended up being a bullpen game, giving L.A. a look at seven arms — including an electric Roki Sasaki — who could be part of the postseason relief picture. Saturday’s starter, Glasnow, had a planned short outing, pitching three scoreless innings. He will likely be on the roster for the Wild Card Series, Roberts said.

“I think that right now, where we’re at, we want to go with our best,” Roberts said. “However that looks, that’s kind of the reason why we shortened Emmet [Sheehan], shortened Tyler.”

The team has not announced its rotation for the Wild Card Series, but Ohtani, Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto are lined up for the three games. If Glasnow makes the roster, he would be used in relief for the first time since he was with the Pirates in 2018.

“If you boil it down, pitching is pitching,” Glasnow said. “Just try to go out there and treat it like another inning. Maybe have a little bit more adrenaline. But I’m looking forward to it.”

What’s the latest on Will Smith, and could he make the roster?
Roberts said the other day that he was “hoping,” rather than “hopeful,” that Smith would be available in time for the Wild Card Series. Smith hit foam balls in the cage on Saturday, his first time swinging since imaging revealed he had a hairline fracture in his right hand.

The Dodgers could opt to carry three catchers if they feel Smith is close, but time is not on their side.

“It’s a balancing act because, obviously, he’s incredibly talented and we want to do everything that we can to have him in there,” general manager Brandon Gomes said Friday. “But we may get to a point where, hey, it may not make sense that some percentage of Will is worth putting on the roster. So we’ve got a few days. I don’t want to close the door on him yet. But we’ve got to go fast in the next few days to see where we’re at.”

How about others dealing with lingering injuries?
Tommy Edman (right ankle) and Max Muncy (lower body) are both dealing with some lingering discomfort that has limited their playing time recently. Edman returned to the lineup on Saturday, albeit as the DH, while Muncy has not played since Wednesday. Both are expected to be ready to go on Tuesday.

If either Edman or Muncy is compromised during the postseason run, then that could open the door for more playing time for Kiké Hernández, who hit a go-ahead two-run double off Mariners closer Andrés Muñoz in the ninth inning on Saturday.

Either way, Hernández could feasibly earn himself more playing time going forward. He’s a proven postseason performer, with an .875 OPS in the playoffs, compared with .708 in the regular season, in his career.

“We needed to finish the season strong,” Hernández said. “October is all about whoever’s playing the best baseball at the end of the season. And that’s a really good team over there.”

MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. — These
days when entering the St. Louis Blues locker room, veer to the right
and thereâ€s defenseman Tyler Tucker, low-keyed as usual.

But
thereâ€s a difference these days: thereâ€s smiles and laughter to
go along with it, and for good reason.

For
the first time in his NHL career, the 25-year-old can finally feel a
bit comfortable with his surroundings; he can feel comfortable what
heâ€s doing and most importantly, he can finally feel at home.

The
NHL has always been the destination, but itâ€s been quite the
journey for the Blues†seventh-round pick
in the 2018 NHL Draft.

This
is Tuckerâ€s eighth training camp, and in the previous seven, itâ€s
always been about proving himself. Thereâ€s never been a guarantee
he would land a job in the NHL.

But
thatâ€s all changed in the past year or so, so much so that instead
of chasing after someone elseâ€s job, now otherâ€s are chasing
Tuckerâ€s position, and thatâ€s OK with him. Because since he
arrived at his first Blues training camp in 2018, itâ€s been quite
the ride.

“Itâ€s
been a long journey but well worth it,†Tucker said.

The
6-foot-1, 204-pound left-handed shot is healthy again after the most
unfortunate of injuries, a right knee injury late in the third period
of Game 4 of the Western Conference first round
against the Winnipeg
Jets
and part of the Blues†top six and most likely in the opening
night lineup.

Through
ups and downs, learning on the fly and good and bad play, recalls and
options back to the American Hockey League to exceptional play,
especially last season under Jim Montgomery and when inserted into
the playoffs, Tucker has arrived on the scene as one of the boys.

“I
feel like Iâ€ve obviously taken a lot of steps and then had a little
setback,†Tucker said. “Just kind of keep on proving throughout
the camp and into the preseason and what not. Just trying to get
better every day is big for me, and playing with confidence.â€

Confidence.
Itâ€s a word players often speak of, but itâ€s so vital to oneâ€s
success. Tuckerâ€s confidence has obviously soared within the past
year and he felt the momentum on his side finally. And instead of
shying away from it, heâ€s looked back on seven-plus years of blood,
sweat and tears and learned to embrace the pot of gold.

“He
definitely has worked for everything heâ€s got, and heâ€s done it
the hard way,†Blues
captain Brayden Schenn said of Tucker.
“The hard way is fighting guys, blocking shots and playing a hard
game, obviously which he needs to play. And then a little bit of up
and down and up and down. You can tell he feels more comfortable and
I think youâ€re going to get a really good ‘Tucks†this year.
Heâ€s one helluva teammate and normally me saying it, the majority
of the guys in this locker room would say youâ€d take Tyler Tucker
as a teammate every single day of the week.

“He
actually has one of the best sticks of getting guys, and getting in
guys†faces and just being reliable with his body and his stick and
breaking up plays and heâ€s very good at it.â€

Tuckerâ€s
momentum built with a strong showing with Springfield of the AHL last
season when he put up 10 points (four goals, six assists) in 19 games
and a plus-6. When he got recalled on Dec. 19, 2024 and Montgomery
was hired a week later on Dec. 25, there was no turning back. He
played 38 games in the regular season and put up seven points (three
goals, four assists) averaging 14:35 minutes per game but a steady,
reliable skater on the Blues†third pairing.

“I
got to play a lot of games with a very experienced D-partner in
(Ryan) Suter, and that was a big help,†Tucker
said.
“I feel like you learn a lot of little things. Not the flashy
things or anything, but just simple, little things that you take and
they go a long way, I feel like, throughout a series or throughout
multiple games. So I think thatâ€s the biggest thing. Other than
that, confidence is one of the biggest things for me.â€

Tucker
didnâ€t open the series against the Jets but entered it in Game 2
and had he not been injured, likely would have stayed in the entirety
of that series. His style of play helped change the complexion for
the Blues that ultimately turned it into a seven-game series after
losing Games 1-2 on the road.

“He
played to his strengths. He knows who he is,†Montgomery
said.
“He was physical, but also, heâ€s a hockey player. Heâ€s around
the puck. His instincts take him to where the puckâ€s going to be.
So heâ€s either ending plays defensively or offensively, heâ€s
keeping pucks alive for us.â€

But
when Tuckerâ€s right knee buckled toe-picking a check in the D-zone
corner against Brandon Tanev, his playoff and season ended in a snap.

“Obviously
tough,†Tucker
said.
“I felt like I was playing real good hockey towards the end. Tough
to go down, obviously kind of in a meaningless game towards the end
of the period. Just sucks, but happy to be back, happy with all the
rehab and what not, hard work, stuff I did in the summer paid off and
just happy to be back on the ice.â€

Tucker
is healthy, and barring any change in tactics, he will open the
season on the third D-pairing with newly-acquired Logan Mailloux.

“Iâ€ve
played against him in the minors,†Tucker
said.
“Obviously see what he did in junior. Very, very talented player.
Big guy with a lot of skill. Those are very hard to come by.
Obviously just try and get him the puck and heâ€ll do good things
with it. Weâ€ve spent a lot of time here in the last month or so. I
feel like I know him pretty well. He came in and weâ€ve been friends
right away. Itâ€s been nice. Heâ€s super easy to get along with.
Iâ€m sure everyone can tell you itâ€s been a real easy transition
for him.

“I
feel good,
really good. Obviously a long summer, a lot of rehab, a lot of boring
stuff. I feel ready to go. Obviously first game in a while in
Columbus there (last
Sunday),
but it felt good. Everything with the knee is going well.

“It
definitely took some time. Probably two-, two-and-a-half months
before I kind of started back to regular training and what not.
Obviously I was in the gym, but doing more so rehab and knee-specific
exercises and trying to rebuild my muscles and what not rather than
just lifting with the other guys, team aspect of the gym in the
summer. It went well. Obviously very thankful for the team to help me
get back.â€

The
Blues know who Tucker is, big, strong, physical and willing to drop
gloves. But what about his offense? Did he show something last season
that can help putting pucks into the net on a more frequent basis? This shot against Connor Hellebuyck and the Jets that turned out to be the game-winner in Game 4 speaks volumes:

“I
think itâ€s very underrated because the things he did offensively
last year, I donâ€t know if he had three or four goals,
but he had opportunities to have a lot more and he gets pucks through
and we had a lot of almost-tips,†Montgomery
said.
“Heâ€s looking for sticks and stuff. Very underrated offensively.â€

“Whenever
Iâ€ve gotten the opportunities to be an offensive guy, I like doing
that,†Tucker
said.
“Itâ€s kind of how I played in juniors, but Iâ€m just worried
about taking care of my own end first and then if those opportunities
present themselves, Iâ€ll take them.â€

Now
the big question: how does Tucker build off that strong momentum
gained last year? If he can find that success again, his ceiling is
waiting.

“I
think just continue where I left off,†he
said.
“Towards the end of the summer, I felt like I was a little behind.
So just trying to ramp things up, keep getting better every day,
trusting myself and playing with confidence is a big key for me. I
thought especially down the stretch last year, that was a huge thing
in my game is I felt confident with the puck, playing and doing
things … not to say I normally donâ€t feel comfortable with but
not as comfortable. I think just building and keep going in the right
direction, trusting myself, trusting my instincts, just simple
things. Obviously when you get hurt, you feel like youâ€re a long
ways out. But I feel like Iâ€m right around the corner.â€

The
Blues hope so.

The Dallas Cowboys are going to be shorthanded going into their highly anticipated Week 4 game against the Green Bay Packers.

ESPN’s Todd Archer reported Monday offensive guard Tyler Booker will miss four-to-six weeks after he suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears. He pointed out the offensive line is already without center Cooper Beebe for at least three more games.

What’s more, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported wide receiver CeeDee Lamb suffered a high ankle sprain as well and likely won’t take the field against Green Bay. Schefter wrote that “the Cowboys want to see how Lamb is doing the next 10-14 days before making further determinations about his status.”

Team owner Jerry Jones provided an update on the outlook for both players:

Here is a look at the updated offensive depth chart with so many injury concerns looming:

Lamb suffered his injury in the first half against the Bears, and the offense struggled to build any type of consistency without him on the field.

While Chicago gave up 52 points against the Detroit Lions the previous week, it held Dallas to a mere 14 points and picked off Dak Prescott twice. It also intercepted Joe Milton III after the backup entered the game in the fourth quarter.

The Cowboys offense looked nothing like the unit that put up 40 points in its Week 2 win over the New York Giants.

Things only figure to get more difficult against the Packers. The shorthanded offensive line will be tasked with blocking Micah Parsons, who will be firmly under the spotlight in the matchup against his former team following the headline offseason trade.

Green Bay gave up just 13 points to the same Lions team that destroyed the Bears and is yet to allow more than 18 points in a single contest.

It appears to be one of the best defenses in the league in the early going this season, and Prescott will have his hands full without his top weapon in the receiver room and with some of his offensive line missing.

If the Cowboys lose again, they will be 1-3 and facing an uphill battle to get back into the postseason picture in the NFC.
