Packers

trade Wicks

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks from the Green Bay Packers for two draft picks. Two people with knowledge of the trade told The Associated Press about the deal on Friday.

They spoke on condition of anonymity because it hadn’t been announced. The Packers will receive a fifth-round pick in this month’s NFL draft and a 2027 sixth-round pick.

Wicks, who turns 25 in June, spent the last three seasons with the Packers. He has 108 catches for 1,328 yards and 11 touchdowns in 46 career games.

Chourio

recovering

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee’s Jackson Chourio is not yet ready to swing a bat as he recovers from a fractured left hand sustained March 4 while playing for Venezuela in an exhibition ahead of the World Baseball Classic.

“It’s healing. It’s not quite ready, but better,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Friday. “We’re worried about the checked swing. When you face live things and do live things, we’re worried about that. There’s a fine line between being aggressive with it and conservative with it.”

Chourio had a scan of the hand on Thursday. He was hurt when hit by a pitch from Washington’s Clayton Beeter.

A 22-year-old outfielder, Chourio hit .275 with 21 homers and 79 RBIs as a rookie in 2024 and .270 with 21 homers and 78 RBIs last season.

MacIntyre

misses cut

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Robert MacIntyre made headlines for all the wrong reasons at the Masters. He flashed some fiery behavior amid rounds of 80 and 71 that caused him to miss the cut. He finished at 7 over while the cut came at 4 over. MacIntyre flashed the middle finger during his round on Thursday, and more than once he was caught by cameras slamming clubs.

Bryson DeChambeau also struggled, finishing at 6 over after a triple bogey on the 18th to miss the cut. Brian Harman, Rasmus Hojgaard and Jon Rahm managed rallied Friday to make the cut, but all of them have a long way to go.

Suzuki’s

statue breaks

SEATTLE (AP) — A statue has been unveiled of Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki at the Seattle Mariners’ T-Mobile Park. There was just one problem at the ceremony Friday — a broken bat.

As the club pulled the curtain off the statue, the bat in bronze snapped and flopped down as confetti sprouted up. Suzuki joked through an interpreter that Mariano Rivera got the best of him again.

It did not take long for the Mariners to fix the statue. Suzuki’s bat was soon turned upright and reconnected at the handle. Suzuki last year became the third Mariners player to have his number retired by the franchise.

Heat waive

Rozier
