New rules that speed up the game have squeezed the time pitchers get to rest between hard throws. Shorter breaks mean less chance for the arm to heal and adj

NASCAR has put 22‑year‑old Daniel Dye on hold for an indefinite period, saying he must complete sensitivity training before racing again. The same decision came from Kaulig Racing, Dye’s team, after they saw his recent social‑media remarks. Dye was running the full 2026 season in the Craftsman Tr
