Minnesota Lynx star rookie Olivia Miles went down in Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Sparks in the fourth quarter.

She started to grab at her ankle and had to come out of the game. Miles was checked out on the court by trainers, but was able to walk into the tunnel to the locker room on her own.

The guard returned to the bench with about three minutes left in the game but was seen favoring her ankle and limping as she stood to cheer on her teammates.

Miles suffered the injury in the fourth quarter. At the time of her injury, the Minnesota guard had 18 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals.

She was the second overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft by Minnesota, but has been playing like a seasoned veteran.

Miles has played in 22 games so far this season and is averaging 19.4 points, 5.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game. Her performance led to her being voted as an All-Star Game starter on July 25, provided that this injury doesn’t prevent her from participating.

The 2026 MLB trade deadline is a few weeks away, but we have our first notable move of trade season.

The Houston Astros are reportedly trading veteran starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. to the Milwaukee Brewers, per The Athletic’s Chandler Rome.

McCullers had a no-trade clause in his contract, but has waived it for this move. This ends the pitcher’s 12-year tenure in Houston.

The veteran arm joins a Brewers pitching staff that posted a 3.48 ERA as a team in the season’s first half, the second-best mark in MLB behind only the New York Yankees.

Milwaukee's acquisition of McCullers comes as Brandon Woodruff was transferred from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL due to a lingering shoulder injury just before the All-Star break. Kyle Harrison was also added to the IL this week with elbow soreness.

McCullers has struggled this season and will hope that the change of scenery helps him get back on track. He heads to Milwaukee with a 2-3 record and a 6.86 ERA.

The veteran arm has had an injury-riddled career. He missed the entirety of the 2019, 2023 and 2024 seasons due to injuries. McCullers missed 2019 due to Tommy John surgery and then the 2023 and 2024 seasons due to surgery to repair the flexor tendon in his pitching arm, as well as having a bone spur removed.

Left-handed pitcher Colton Gordon is also heading to Milwaukee as part of the deal, per Jon Heyman. Gordon has made four MLB appearances this season and has an 11.57 ERA, allowing 12 earned runs over 9.1 innings.
