Scottie Scheffler gets hilarious Wikipedia update after latest win
Scottie Scheffler's incredible dominance of the golf world continued on Sunday, and his Wikipedia page was appropriately updated for a brief period following the latest victory.
For the second consecutive year, Scheffler won the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. He became the first player to successfully defend his title at Jack Nickalus' event since Tiger Woods won it three straight years from 1999-2001.
Scheffler beat second-place finisher Ben Griffin by four strokes with a total score of 10-under. Someone then updated Scheffler's Wikipedia page and made his name Scottie "Himothy" Scheffler.
The factually inaccurate update was quickly corrected, but even the official X account of the PGA Tour got a kick out of it.

Scheffler has been atop the Official World Golf Ranking for more than two years straight now. He has three wins in his last four starts, including when he captured the third major victory of his career at the PGA Championship two weeks ago.
There are a lot of nicknames that would be appropriate for Scheffler. The 28-year-old now has 16 wins on the PGA Tour and looks as dialed in as ever.
Scheffler is a heavy favorite to win his fourth major at the 2025 U.S. Open in two weeks, and it would be unwise to bet against him.

All signs point to Yankees moving on from Anthony Volpe
With the trade for Ryan McMahon now complete, it would seem New York Yankees’ general manager Brian Cashman has fulfilled one of his three priorities. He can now cross third base off the list, which leaves the rotation and bullpen as his remaining priorities. However, according to one Yankees writer, Cashman might not be done with the infield. Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reported this after the McMahon trade: “The Yankees may not be done adding to their infield. A team source said the Yankees are interested in adding a right-handed hitter who could play the infield.” Kirschner adds that the Yankees have had interest in Willi Castro and Amed Rosario. But the question now is, how would another player fit in the Yankees’ infield? Needless to say, Paul Goldschmidt and Jazz Chisholm Jr. aren’t going anywhere, and McMahon is just getting there. That leaves the low-hanging fruit. Anthony Volpe has been at the center of controversy all this season. His 13 errors, many of which had come at make-or-break moments, amount to the second-highest total in the game. In addition, his bat has not been able to compensate, hitting .214/.286/.407 with 14 home runs. There was always a lot to like about Volpe. He won a Gold Glove in his rookie year, his power has always been promising and his speed is nothing to scoff at. Unfortunately, his glove has become a liability and his speed has also produced very few results. Volpe has swiped just 10 bags in 17 attempts. His power is the one thing that still has some upside, but it hasn’t been enough to justify a spot in the lineup. Both Castro and Rosario have been far more productive at the plate this season than Volpe. Kirschner doesn’t clarify how serious the Yankees are in their pursuit of another infielder, but that most likely isn’t available information. Having just turned 24, Volpe could still become the type of player that was expected from him as a top prospect. However, his recent performance has weighed heavily on his team’s efforts and it may be buying him a ticket out of the Bronx — or at least a spot on the bench.
Five potential landing spots for Christian Wilkins after stunning Raiders release
The Las Vegas Raiders just stunned the league by releasing defensive tackle Christian Wilkins after only one year with the team. After signing a four-year, $110 million contract, he struggled with injuries in 2024. This was supposed to be a big bounce-back year for Wilkins, but after a dispute between the two sides in regard to how to handle his foot injury, the team decided it was best to part ways. Now, a premier interior disruptor is suddenly available. Assuming his medicals get checked out soon, there should be a lot of interest around the league. Where should he land? Dallas Cowboys Dallas has needed a dominant interior presence for quite some time. Osa Odighizuwa is an awesome threat, but he is only solid against the run. Alongside him, the team will be banking heavily on 2023 first-rounder Mazi Smith, who has been disappointing so far. With Dallas looking to return to the playoffs, adding a stud like Wilkins could give Dallas one of the best defensive lines in the NFL. San Francisco 49ers The 49ers added some young bodies in CJ West and Alfred Collins, yet neither offer a proven, all-around talent like Wilkins could if healthy. The 49ers defensive line was horrid outside of Nick Bosa in 2024, but by adding Wilkins, the team would now have a solid cast of starters with Nick Bosa, Mykel Williams, Wilkins and Kevin Givens/Jordan Elliott. Miami Dolphins A return to Miami makes a ton of sense for both sides. The Dolphins know exactly how to use Wilkins, he knows the building and players, and the transition would be very easy. Miami needs help in the interior defensive line; by plugging Wilkins back into his old role, he could offer the quickest path to high-level impact. Detroit Lions With Levi Onwuzurike out with injury and Detroit needing more juice on the defensive line, adding a proven disruptor like Wilkins could make some sense. He could provide more depth while he gets fully healthy, and he can join a legit Super Bowl contender. His energy and mentality could be a good fit for a Dan Campbell-led squad. Jacksonville Jaguars The Jaguars defense is average in the interior, but they have excellent edge-rushers who would benefit greatly from a strong disruptor up the middle. Wilkins could balance the front, help in the run defense and allow more one-on-ones for their premier edge-rushers. For a team that wants to return to the playoffs as soon as possible, adding a veteran like Wilkins could be a worthy bet to make.
Trade rejection speaks volumes about Red Sox's Jarren Duran intentions
The Boston Red Sox appear to have no interest in trading outfielder Jarren Duran, at least not in the near future. Trade rumors have swirled around Duran for most of the season, especially after designated hitter Rafael Devers was traded to the Giants. However, Sean McAdam from MassLive reported that the Red Sox may wait until the offseason before moving on from the former All-Star. The decision to wait on Duran is not due to a lack of offers. McAdam also reported that the Padres made a significant offer for Duran involving pitcher Dylan Cease, catching prospect Ethan Salas and another unnamed prospect. That offer was quickly rejected. The Padres have long coveted Duran. McAdam had previously reported that the Padres have been "relentless" in their pursuit of the Red Sox outfielder. The reported trade offer including Salas, the Padres second-best prospect and the 21st-best prospect in baseball per MLB.com, illustrates how serious they are about acquiring Duran. Likewise, the Red Sox's refusal to entertain such an offer, even as a starting point for negotiations, speaks volumes about their interest in moving Duran. The Padres' offer would help solve several problems for the Red Sox in both the present and future. Moving Duran would help clear up the logjam in the outfield, while Cease and Salas would respectively improve the back of their rotation and provide a possible cornerstone behind the plate going forward. Duran is a valuable trade chip as he is under team control through 2028. He has also taken a step back in production from his stellar showing in 2024, posting a respectable .254/.321/.428 batting line in 459 plate appearances entering Friday, with nine homers and 25 doubles while stealing 16 bases. That production would be an upgrade for several teams looking to improve their outfield going forward. The question is whether or not the Red Sox will be realistic in their asking price for Duran. Considering how quickly the Padres' offer was reportedly rejected, that may not be the case.
Cubs Should Only Be Willing To Trade Multiple Top Prospects for These Four Players
The Chicago Cubs have been the topic of seemingly endless rumors and speculation as to what they could wind up doing before the trade deadline. It makes sense why as one of the better teams in baseball with a limited window and the prospect pool to go out and get just about any player who may be available should they choose to empty the farm. Guys like Owen Caissie, Jaxon Wiggins, Moisés Ballesteros, James Triantos and Jefferson Rojas have been named possibilities to move, but the Cubs must be pragmatic here. While Chicago should be aggressive, they also must be smart, trying to win both this year and in the future. More News: Cubs Predicted to Acquire All-Star Pitcher From Royals at MLB Trade Deadline Dealing away premium prospects in exchange for guys who are half season rentals can often wind up backfiring, and if the Cubs are going to make a massive blockbuster, it must be for players with control attached. Sure, Eugenio Suárez would be amazing, but unless the Arizona Diamondbacks come down off their asking price, it does not make much sense. Here are four guys who it actually makes sense to make a mammoth offer to acquire. Joe Ryan, Minnesota Twins RHP Ryan has understandably been the subject of rumors as the Twins fade out of contention during what has been by far the best season of his career. But all indications are that Minnesota would have to be blown away by an offer. More News: Cubs Should Go After Hated Rival's Former Star Pitcher After Shocking DFA A package including three of the aforementioned blue chip prospects can be justified here for Chicago. Ryan has pitched to a 2.63 ERA and 0.903 WHIP with a 10-4 record in 20 appearances so far this campaign, already accounting for a ridiculous bWAR of 4.5. He's as valuable as they come and has two more years of arbitration after 2025, giving the Cubs a brand new ace to pair with Shota Imanaga. MacKenzie Gore, Washington Nationals LHP The only reason Gore is even thought of as potentially available is because there's a new regime in the nation's capital after they fired both manager Dave Martinez and general manager Mike Rizzo earlier in July. Gore has officially broken out as a legitimate ace this season after years of hype as a top prospect. He has a 3.59 ERA and 140 strikeouts in 112.2 innings. Similarly to Ryan, he is arbitration eligible for two more full seasons after 2025. If he is dealt, it would take a massive offer to land him. More News: Cubs Can Land Intriguing Consolation Prize at Trade Deadline in Twins All-Star Emmanuel Clase, Cleveland Guardians RP It's a little bit tougher to justify trading multiple top prospects for a closer, however, Clase is not only one of the best in the game, he has one of the best contracts as well. Set to make $6.5 million next year before club options for $10 million each of the two following seasons, Clase makes less than half of what his comparable peers make and produces at the same level. Last year, his 0.61 ERA and 0.659 WHIP had him finish third in AL Cy Young voting. After a rough start to this season, he is back on track and looking like himself again. Clase would be the featured piece of the bullpen for years to come. More News: Cubs Expected To Focus on This Over Eugenio Suarez Ahead of MLB Trade Deadline Edward Cabrera, Miami Marlins RHP Cabrera would not go for quite the same haul as Ryan or Gore, but there's a good chance that Caissie alone would not get it done. The 27-year-old is emerging this season as a legitimate stud, and unlike the two aforementioned aces, he has three years of arbitration instead of two. With a 3.48 ERA and looking like he has finally arrived as a big league top-of-the-rotation anchor, Cabrera has the chance to come to Chicago and blossom. If the Cubs are willing to take a chance that he gets even better, an argument could be made that Cabrera should be the top target. For more Cubs news, head over to Cubs On SI.
