MLB – Vaughn emerges as one of MLB’s best hitters with Brewers after slumping with Sox
Andrew Vaughn was slumping as badly as just about any hitter in baseball for the first two months of the season before the Chicago White Sox sent him to the minors and eventually traded him to the Milwaukee Brewers. Now the guy who couldn’t stick with the last-place White Sox has emerged as one of the league’s hottest sluggers for the team with the best record in the majors. Vaughn’s remarkable turnaround produced its biggest highlight yet Tuesday as he hit a grand slam and had a career-high six RBIs in the Brewers’ 9-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

NASCAR – NASCAR suspends Austin Hill for one race after intentional crash
NASCAR has suspended Austin Hill for one Xfinity Series race for intentionally crashing Aric Almirola at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Richard Childress Racing announced that Cup Series driver Austin Dillon will replace Hill in the Xfinity Series race at Iowa this weekend. The suspension also strips Hill of his 21 playoff points for 2025 and prohibits him from earning points ahead of the playoffs under a new rule. Hill argued the contact with Almirola was not intentional, but NASCAR gave him a five-lap penalty. Hill is ranked seventh in the Xfinity Series standings with three victories.

NFL – All-Pro Trey Hendrickson ends holdout and will report to Bengals, AP source says
Trey Hendrickson is ending his holdout and will report to the Cincinnati Bengals on Wednesday. That’s according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the move had not been announced. Hendrickson is an All-Pro defensive end who led the NFL in sacks last season with 17 1/2. He is seeking a long-term extension with guaranteed money that matches what the league’s top pass rushers are earning. Even after he reports to camp, he is unlikely to participate in practice until a deal is in place.
Tennis – Coco Gauff overcomes 23 double-faults for first win since French Open title
Coco Gauff made a winning return to competition, even though some old serving woes came back with her. Gauff had to overcome 23 double-faults to win for the first time since the French Open final, outlasting fellow American Danielle Collins 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (2) in the second round of the National Bank Open in Montreal on Tuesday night. Gauff hadn’t played since losing in the first round at Wimbledon and appeared to have made a change to her serving grip during her time away. She struggled with it during the match, hitting some serves that were well long and others that were soft and easily pounced on by the powerful Collins.
