Joe Gibbs Racing is continuing to work on it, and team owner Joe Gibbs says he will have “a big program” for Wallace next season. While nearly three months remain before the start of the 2015 season, most drivers like to have their sponsorship lined up. Companies need to budget the millions of dollars it takes, so few solid deals come along in January. For a driver who has five career wins, including four in 2014, in the Camping World Truck Series and four top-10s in six starts in what will be the Xfinity Series next season, how much more does Wallace have to do?...

Darren O’Day will remain with the Orioles on a four-year, $31 million deal, CBS Sports reported Sunday. MORE: Possible bargain bin free agents According to the Baltimore Sun, O’Day was on the verge of a three-year contract with the Nationals on Friday before the Orioles added another year to their offer to seal the deal. O’Day’s wife Elizabeth Prann is a D.C.-based reporter for Fox News, so it was no surprise his decision came down to either end of the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, though the Dodgers, Braves and others also reportedly were interested....

But then, a glimmer of hope. A development studio known as Red Fly Studios revealed that they were working on a hack-and-slash title themed around dual-blade wielding Sith Darth Maul, only for the title to become a victim of the dissolution of Lucasarts. But fan reception to the revealed footage was extremely positive, with fans clamoring for a Force Unleashed-style game that allowed players to step into the menacing boots of one of Star Wars greatest villains....

The Reds currently sport world-class forwards in Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, although their Liverpool futures are both in question. Both players have just one year left on their Liverpool contracts, and Mane in particular has pushed for an exit this summer. Salah’s situation is also uncertain, with contract negotiations dragging on for months. With those issues in mind, the arrival of Nunez provides a jolt to the Reds as well as some insurance should either Mane or Salah (or both) decide to depart, either this summer or next....

The new chips, which will be used during the preseason and potentially in Thursday night games, will not be equipped to measure whether a football is properly inflated, ESPN.com reported, citing an unidentified source. However, the technology exists to add PSI (pounds per square inch) to the chip if the NFL is willing to make the arrangement. MORE: NFL’s worst extra point blunders As of now, the chip can track the velocity of throws and the ball’s location during kicks, according to the report....

Though the former professional wrestler made a big name for himself as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy, it would seem the actor has a soft spot for one particular DC character. According to Bautista himself, his desire to take on the role of one specific DC villain actually inspired him to approach Warner Bros. directly with an offer even they weren’t expecting.

The former Three Lions skipper was among the interested observers as Gareth Southgate’s side got off to the perfect start in Russia with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Tunisia. Argentina did not fare as well in their opener, with Barcelona superstar Messi missing a penalty as they were held 1-1 by Iceland. There is, however, still a long way to go and Beckham – who has plenty of personal history with the South Americans from the 1998 and 2002 events – believes two old adversaries will find enough form to book a showdown in Moscow on July 15....

Obviously, Sony has trained any members of these various teams in the arts of careful PR dodging, but there’s still the likelihood of a slip up. That’s why when Quantic Dream’s David Cage — the man behind the forthcoming Beyond: Two Souls — showed up at D.I.C.E. he was grilled about the PS4. For as hard as IGN tried, they were unable to get anything too revelatory out of Cage, who chose to tout the still-viral PS3 rather than talk PS4....

The Rockies outfielder was carted off the field during Friday’s game against the Giants after he sustained what appeared to be a severe ankle injury. Here is the play. We must warn you, it is graphic. Dahl was clearly in pain after making the play and very emotional. It’s understandable considering his history. The 25-year-old has never played a full season in MLB despite making his debut in 2016....

In the video, Jaffe makes a point to say that he would never purposefully harm the individual teams working on projects under the PlayStation Studios umbrella, but that he knows a lot of the ins and outs of the company despite the end of their business relationship in 2018 and that it should have called him if the Twisted Metal revival is actually in the works.

There are plenty of potential value picks and stacks highlighted below, including what’s sure to be a popular Rockies stack. The Rangers and Indians also feature multiple players that are good for building teams around, with the Indians grouping better suited for tournaments. MORE: Waiver wire | Prospect rankings | Play FanDuel!

Based on the splits, we only have a handful of potential sleepers and values to integrate into your DFS strategy – and, unfortunately, with Johnny Cueto, Zack Greinke, Adam Wainwright, Jered Weaver, Bartolo Colon, and Clayton Kershaw starting in the late games, none are from those contests – but we’ve still identified a couple stacks that could be the centerpieces of FanDuel and DraftKings’ lineups MORE: Prospect rankings | Pitcher rankings | Play FanDuel!...

Unfortunately, the numbers don’t point to a lot of big stacks to build your lineups around. The Rangers, Indians, and Giants are your best bets; otherwise, you can just go with no-brainer stacks like Reds against Mike Clevinger or Dodgers against Nick Tropeano. Obviously, there’s nothing wrong with that, but chances are quite a few people in FanDuel and DraftKings contests will have the same thought.

Depending on your definition of “ace”, there aren’t many (any?) no-doubt, sure-fire aces pitching today. Often on days like this, you’ll see those in DFS contests try to find some sleepers by playing matchups. Why pay up for someone who doesn’t feel like a sure thing when you can just grab whomever is facing San Diego, Philadelphia, Atlanta or Minnesota? You can also take a chance with a high-strikeout guy and hope he has everything working....

First of all, throw out Blake Snell and Steven Wright since they play the only afternoon game. Next, put Danny Salazar, Robbie Ray, and Jharel Cotton in a special “high-upside” category because of their strikeout ability. Finally, look at the matchups but don’t dwell on them since a lot of the best ones on paper are for pitchers who have been walking batters/giving up a bunch of homers this year (A....
