“Like three days ago, he was running at 80 percent and having pain,” Mattingly said, via the Los Angeles Times. “And then, all of a sudden, he’s going 100 percent and feels fine. It’s been pretty miraculous, actually, for me.” MORE: Yasiel Puig’s career in photos | MLB playoffs 2015: Get to know the Los Angeles Dodgers Mattingly even compared Puig’s road to recovery to that of Howie Kendrick, who also suffered from a hamstring injury in early August....

In one of three intradivisional LDS matchups, the Padres are coming off a three-game series win over the Mets to take on the best team in the National League, the 111-win Dodgers, against whom they posted a 5-14 record and never won back-to-back games during the regular season. The Dodgers became a bit of a footnote in the 2022 season, as they had the NL West wrapped up relatively early (unlike last year when they lost the division to the Giants and entered the playoffs as a wild card)....

Scheduled last on No. 1 Court, Djokovic and Khachanov did not get underway until after 19:00 local time at the All England Club on Monday. That left them facing the prospect of their encounter dragging into Tuesday but Djokovic was in no mood to let that happen as he overcame rising star Khachanov in ultimately routine fashion. Khachanov’s display was flashy but full of errors, and Djokovic was ruthless in punishing them, coming through 6-4 6-2 6-2 to set up a last-eight meeting with Kei Nishikori....

Djokovic defeated Isner 7-6 (7/5), 6-2, 7-5, recovering from an early break in the opening set and taking control from there.

Novak Djokovic of Serbia returns against David Ferrer of Spain during their 2012 US Open men’s singles semifinals match at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York. Djokovic swept into his third consecutive US Open final, setting up a title showdown with Britain’s Andy Murray, with a 2-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 win over Ferrer on Sunday.

Leonardo Jardim’s side hold a three-point lead at the top of Ligue 1 and are still fighting for silverware on four fronts, while the defending champions will be hoping to complete a clean sweep of domestic trophies for the third straight season. Djorkaeff is unsure which of his two former clubs will end Saturday triumphant, but is looking forward to a contest between the best sides in the country....

DMX, whose birth name is Earl Simmons, died at the age of 50 on April 9. The Grammy-nominated rapper had spent a week on life support in the hospital after suffering what was described as a catastrophic cardiac arrest. Family, including the rapper’s 15 children, and friends paid tribute to DMX at a memorial service at the Barclays Center in New York City last month. His fiancée Desiree Lindstrom, who is mother to the rapper’s four-year-old son Exodus Simmons, told Fox5 that about a week before he died, DMX had told her to buy a white dress....

But Doc and Austin were not the only members of the Rivers’ family to have a rough night. MORE: NBA Mock Draft | Everyone hates the Clippers Doc’s youngest son, Spencer, a freshman reserve guard at UC-Irvine, took to Twitter to challenge braggadocios ESPN NBA insider Amin Elhassan to a fight.

Things didn't quite work out that way, though. Rivers is with the Clippers, but Garnett became a member of the Brooklyn Nets in a trade with Paul Pierce. Jordan is still with the Clippers, and Rivers is intent on letting the world know he wanted it that way. "I couldn't get involved in that whole thing," Rivers said, according to ESPN.com. "That was the strangest thing in the world. I was seeing the trade talks and I was saying, 'Wait a minute!...

The Daleks have been woven into the history of the show since the second series in 1963. Always bent on domination and extermination, Daleks evolved over the millennia of in-universe time (and decades of real-world time) to become something entirely new and much more deadly. The conflict between the Time Lords and the Daleks culminated in the Time War, a complex conflict that seemed to destroy both races apart from The Doctor....

The pregnant woman had come in through the obstetric emergency room at DHR Health, a busy medical center in Edinburg, Texas, complaining of severe cramping and bleeding. Clinicians quickly determined she was in labor. The four-month-old fetus was not nearly developed enough to survive outside the womb, but it had already come part-way through the cervix into the birth canal. If the mother didn’t complete this miscarriage soon, he and his team concluded, she would suffer a major hemorrhage, placing her life in jeopardy....

On Tuesday night, the game left its mark on him, too, as Puig took a 92mph fastball from Ian Kennedy to the nose. The blow drew blood, but Puig, apparently tougher than most, decided to stay in the game. In the next inning, Dodgers pitcher Zach Greinke hit the first batter he saw, Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero, in what was presumably an act of retaliation. This is nothing unusual when a player has been hit, especially a dangerous hit like this one....

Freeman left Atlanta for Los Angeles last winter, but his heart still lies with the Braves. Freeman was visibly shaken in a press conference before the Dodgers’ weekend series in Atlanta. “I’ve always told you guys how much I love the Braves and this city,” Freeman told reporters. “I don’t even know how I’m going to get through this weekend, to be honest.” And the emotions came flooding over him again once Freeman took the field....

Instead, the team returned to no fanfare after a 9-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. What it found was a flood of questions about the future. Questions about players and manager Don Mattingly. Questions about what happened to a team that had so much talent, so much potential. There were no immediate answers. Just overwhelming disappointment. "I wanted to win for them," Game 6 starter Clayton Kershaw told the Los Angeles Times....

What is HDMI and how does it work? Developed back in 2003 the HDMI cable, or High Definition Multimedia Interface, carries visual and audio data from a media playing device to a high-definition TV or projector. The cable was actually developed by a team made up from the likes of Hitachi, Matsushita of Panasonic fame, Philips, Silicon Image, Sony, Thomson of RAC fame and Toshiba. The idea was to create a standard that uses the basis of a DVI cable, used on PC monitors, and adds in audio too....
