• The Alabama gymnastics program announced Evan Manivong as the new events and program relations coordinator on Friday.

• "Stepping into the Alabama gymnastics program is an exciting opportunity to merge my passion for storytelling and my love for the sport," Manivong said in a release. "I'm incredibly thankful to [head coach] Ashley [Johnston] for trusting me with her vision for this role, and I'm grateful for the chance to work alongside my former coach Justin [Spring] and the entire coaching staff as we build upon the program's legacy."

• Former Alabama pitcher Greg Farone, who pitched some Fridays for the Crimson Tide during the 2024 season, was Friday's starter for the Eugene Emeralds. The Emeralds are the High-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. In the game against the Tri-City Dust Devils, Farone pitched 4.1 innings, allowing six hits and five runs (all earned).

• Former Crimson Tide outfielder Andrew Pinckney logged an RBI for the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings. Of note, Friday was the deadline for new call-ups to not exhaust their rookie eligibility this year, meaning the Washington Nationals can call him up at any time and preserve his rookie status.
