MIAMI — The Marlins placed opening day starter Jesús Luzardo on the 15-day injured list Friday because of left elbow tightness. Luzardo, who was scheduled to pitch the opener of Miami’s four-game series against Washington on Friday, first experienced discomfort during his routine throwing a day earlier. He underwent imaging tests and the results have not been disclosed. “I felt just felt a little tight more than normal I guess you could say, a tightness I don’t feel normally have before a start,” Luzardo said. “It was more precautionary. I wanted to get ahead of it before something worse...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on April 27, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

MIAMI GARDENS — After the edge defender Thursday came the offensive tackle Friday for the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins selected Houston’s Patrick Paul in the second round of the NFL draft, pick No. 55. At 6-foot-7 1/2 and 331 pounds, Paul is an experienced left tackle with 44 college starts who was a first-team All-American Athletic Conference selection three years running. Paul tested well at the NFL scouting combine, running a 5.13-second 40-yard dash and bench pressing 30 reps. With his long arms, he is scouted as having pass-blocking skills that are ahead of his run blocking. “He was...

Instant analysis: Quick thoughts on edge rusher Chop Robinson, the Miami Dolphins’ first-round pick in 2024 NFL draft

Quick thoughts from South Florida Sun Sentinel staffers on the Miami Dolphins‘ selection of edge rusher Chop Robinson in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft. Chris Perkins, Dolphins Columnist I like the selection of an edge rusher. This is a solid pick, but unspectacular. Chop Robinson is regarded as someone with a quick first step but his immediate impact remains a question. Still, Miami needed an edge rusher and it got one. No argument here. David Furones, Dolphins Writer Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel has said edge defender is his favorite position — a bit of a shocking admission...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on April 26, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

MIAMI GARDENS — The last two first-round picks for the Miami Dolphins have now been pass rushers. The Dolphins selected Penn State edge defender Chop Robinson with the No. 21 pick in Thursday’s first round. It was the first time they picked in the draft’s opening round in three years, the last being Jaelan Phillips, the former Miami Hurricane edge rusher who was the Dolphins’ selection with the No. 18 pick in 2021 after they picked wide receiver Jaylen Waddle at 6 that year. With Phillips (Achilles) and fellow outside linebacker Bradley Chubb (knee) rehabbing from season-ending injuries...

By BILL TROCCHI (Associated Press) ATLANTA — Michael Harris II doubled home Ronald Acuña Jr. in the 10th inning and the Atlanta Braves edged the Miami Marlins 4-3 after blowing a two-run lead in the ninth Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep. The Marlins had tied it in the ninth with two runs off Braves closer Raisel Iglesias, who blew his first save in eight chances this season, but saw their attempts to take a lead with no outs quickly collapse. Luis Arraez, Bryan De La Cruz and Jazz Chisholm Jr. all singled to load the bases. Braves first baseman Matt Olson committed a fielding...

Winderman’s view: Heat turn the long ball into a lifeline against Celtics

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on April 25, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, Miami Heat Blog, NBA, Sports.

BOSTON — Observations and other notes of interest from Monday night’s 111-101 NBA playoff victory over the Boston Celtics: – No, it’s not as simple as Erik Spoelstra assembling his players at Tuesday’s practice and Wednesday morning’s shootaround at TD Garden and telling them to make 3-pointers. – (Typically coaches do not demand, “Do not miss!”) – But in this series, to be competitive while shorthanded, the Heat need to junk it up. – Typically, that has the Heat trying to play in the mud, the type of slow-paced defensive grind that makes you wonder what else is on. – This time, they...

Heat shove their way back into series vs. Celtics with emphatic 111-101 victory fueled by Herro, Adebayo

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on April 25, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

BOSTON – The Miami Heat, at least this injury-depleted version of the Miami Heat, could not have asked for more, could not have scripted it better. There were 3-pointers falling at a record pace, silky Bam Adebayo mid-range jumpers nestling through the net when relief points were needed, Tyler Herro sizzling as both set-up man and scorer, and a defense that reminded what Erik Spoelstra’s team can look like at its best. And, through it all, still a fight to the finish. Going against Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum can have that effect. So no humbling Game 2 rout in this best-of-seven Eastern...

Carter Verhaeghe wins it in overtime for Panthers, Florida takes 2-0 series lead vs. Lightning

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on April 24, 2024. Posted in Florida Panthers, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, NHL, Sports.

By TIM REYNOLDS SUNRISE — Carter Verhaeghe lifted a backhander just under the crossbar 2:59 into overtime, and the Florida Panthers beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 on Tuesday night for a 2-0 lead in their NHL first-round playoff series. It was the fifth OT winner in Verhaeghe’s career, coming on a play where Matthew Tkachuk got the puck to Anton Lundell — who found Verhaeghe. He waited for Tampa Bay goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy to commit, then put the puck over him to end it. Sam Bennett, who left with an injury in the second period when he appeared to get hit by teammate Brandon Montour’s...

By HALELUYA HADERO (AP Business Writer) WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate passed legislation Tuesday that would force TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the social media platform under the threat of a ban, a contentious move by U.S. lawmakers that’s expected to face legal challenges and disrupt the lives of content creators who rely on the short-form video app for income. The TikTok legislation was included as part of a larger $95 billion package that provides foreign aid to Ukraine and Israel and was passed 79-18. It now goes to President Joe Biden, who said in a statement immediately...

Max Fried throws Braves’ first nine-inning complete game since 2022, beats Marlins

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on April 24, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Marlins, MLB, Sports.

By PAUL NEWBERRY ATLANTA — Max Fried pitched a three-hitter for Atlanta’s first nine-inning complete game since 2022, Adam Duvall had a two-run homer and and the Atlanta Braves blanked the Miami Marlins for the second night in a row, 5-0 on Tuesday. After a rough start to the season, Fried (2-0) looks like himself again. It took just 1 hour, 54 minutes for the left-hander to mow down the hapless Marlins, who were shut out for the second night in a row by the Braves and have gone 20 innings without a run. “I was just trying to get back to being who I am,” Fried said. “Get ground balls, be on...
