It again is double duty for the Miami Heat scouting and video staff, working with a Plan A and a Plan B for the second consecutive playoff series.In the first round, it meant preparing for the Milwaukee Bucks both with and without Giannis Antetokounmpo, who played 2 1/2 of the five games in the Heat’s 4-1 series win.Having moved on from that challenge, it now is the sprained left ankle of New York Knicks forward Julius Randle that has Heat coach Erik Spoelstra and his staff working with dual game plans for the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal series.Randle initially injured the ankle in the Knicks’ March 29 home victory over the Heat, missing the balance of the regular season. The All-Star forward aggravated the injury as the Knicks closed out the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-1 on Wednesday night. He is listed as questionable for Sunday.“You have to prepare for both, if he’s available or not available,” Spoelstra said ahead of Sunday’s Game 1 a...Yankees call up Jake Bauers after torrid start at Triple-A in effort to boost struggling offense

His call-up came two days after Aaron Judge left the series opener in Arlington with right hip discomfort and the morning after Franchy Cordero was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.Bauers, who slugged nine home runs in 21 games with the RailRiders this season, arrived in Texas before Friday’s game as a member of the traveling taxi squad.“I’ve got no expectations,” Bauers said in the clubhouse. “I’m gonna do whatever they need me to do. Whether it’s go sit at the hotel for a few days or be in the dugout, be in the lineup, it doesn’t matter. Whatever they need.”Bauers, 27, previously played in the MLB with Tampa Bay, Cle...Jets finally land a tackle, select Pitt’s Carter Warren in fourth round of NFL draft

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon Secretary of State Shemia Fagan is in hot water, with Republican lawmakers calling for her resignation and the Democratic governor seeking investigations because Fagan took a consulting job with a marijuana firm.Early Saturday, Fagan released a statement saying she welcomed the governor’s inquiry. “I am relieved that the Governor has asked DOJ and the Government Ethics Commission to engage in fact finding because the facts will restore trust in our audits division and in me as your Secretary of State,” Fagan said in an email to The Associated Press. The matter came to a head Friday after Fagan’s office released an audit of the state’s marijuana regulators, the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission. The audit called for the OLCC to “reform” some rules for marijuana businesses, saying they are “burdens” when combined with federal restrictions on interstate commerce, banking and taxation.Fagan, a Democrat, recused herself from the audit because she...Latest news
