Apr 17, 2026; Denver, Colorado, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (5) dances on second base after his double in the first inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images The Los Angeles Dodgers activated star first baseman Freddie Freeman from the paternity list on Tuesday and optioned outfielder/infielder Ryan Ward to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Also, left-hander Blake Snell will begin his rehab stint Wednesday by pitching for Class A Ontario. He has been sidelined with fatigue in his pitching shoulder.
Freeman, 36, missed two games while away for Sunday’s birth of his fourth child and first daughter. Freddie and wife Chelsea announced the birth of London Rosemary Joy Freeman on Tuesday.
Freeman is batting .296 with three home runs and 14 RBIs over 20 games this season. The nine-time All-Star is in his 17th season, fifth with the Dodgers after 12 with the Atlanta Braves.
Snell, 33, will start for the Tower Buzzers when they visit San Jose. He was bothered by left shoulder issues last season as well when he went 5-4 with a 2.35 ERA in 11 starts in his first season with the Dodgers.
Ward, 28, made his big-league debut on Sunday and went 2-for-6 with an RBI in two games for the Dodgers. He has played in 696 minor league games and was Pacific Coast League MVP last season when he hit 36 home runs with 122 RBIs in 143 games.

In the Gulf, the ceasefire is holding. But only just. For Edward Hobart, British Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, that fragile pause is the only thing standing between contained tension and renewed escalation.
In an interview with Euronews, Hobart said that “the important thing is that there is a ceasefire still… we’re not going to resolve the war while we’re still fighting.”
The message is blunt. Diplomacy does not begin in parallel with conflict. It follows it. And for now, the region is suspended in that narrow gap between the two.
“I think we don’t know yet… but we hope, of course, that it’s part of the beginning step into something which brings us to a sustainable resolution.”
Whether that hope holds depends largely on a stretch of water just 33 kilometres wide. The Strait of Hormuz is not just a regional flashpoint. It is a global pressure point, carrying a significant share of the world’s oil supply. When it closes, the consequences are immediate and far-reaching.
“You can’t talk very easily while you’re firing missiles across the Straits of Hormuz,” Hobart said.
That urgency is already shaping diplomatic engagement between London and Abu Dhabi, particularly in recent talks between the UK Foreign Secretary and the UAE Foreign Minister.
“They obviously focused fundamentally on the current regional situation and Iran and in particular on the critical importance of getting the Straits of Hormuz open again,” according to Hobart.
Behind that sits a broader strategic calibration. Security cooperation is being reinforced, but so too are the systems that underpin long-term resilience, from energy transition to financial security.
“We agreed a framework of cooperation between our countries,” Hobart says, including work “not just in foreign policy and in defence, but also in AI… in the energy transition… in tackling global crime and illicit finance.”
On the ground, that partnership has already been tested. The recent attacks were not incremental. They marked a step change, “unprecedented, unwarranted and hugely dangerous, risking lives.”
And yet, the outcome could have been significantly worse. The UAE’s defensive systems held. “They’ve intercepted 95% of the projectiles fired at this country.”
That figure is more than a statistic. It is a signal of preparedness, coordination, and a defence architecture functioning under pressure.
For the UK, the response has been deliberately controlled. Support without escalation. “This wasn’t the UK’s war… but particularly in defence of the Gulf countries, we have enabled the US to help support that defence.”
At the same time, the crisis has triggered a wider international alignment. Maritime security, once a technical issue, has become a geopolitical priority. “What we want is the law of the sea to be followed… these international thoroughfares… open and flowing.”
That position is now backed by scale. “There were over 50 countries taking part… who are there to support freedom of navigation… in the Straits de Hormuz.”
Even so, the underlying risk has not disappeared. It has been managed, not removed. “I think the risk is there… the risk is reduced while there isn’t fighting and while there is a prospect of talking.”
For residents in the UAE, that translates into a cautious normality. Daily life continues, but with an awareness that conditions can shift quickly. “For expats that are here… at the moment you can live a pretty normal life, but you need to pay attention to what the authorities are saying.”
That balance, between reassurance and realism, has defined the response. “I think it’s getting the balance right between a kind of calming message… but also the need to respond to a very unusual situation.”
Zoom out, and a more structural picture emerges. The UAE operates in a region it cannot control. Its strength lies in how it responds. “The UAE can’t control the whole of that environment, so it’s about how does it flex and respond to that overall.”
And despite the pressure, those fundamentals remain intact. “The fundamentals for the UAE haven’t changed… it also has a brilliant geography… and a business environment which is very conducive and open.”
For now, that balance is holding.

Apr 19, 2026; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA; Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (2) goes up for a basket beside Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks (3) in the second half during game one of the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs at Paycom Center. Mandatory Credit: Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the runaway winner in the Clutch Player of the Year award balloting, revealed Tuesday night.
Gilgeous-Alexander received 96 of 100 first-place votes in balloting for the Jerry West Trophy. He had 484 total points, well ahead of Denver Nuggets standout Jamal Murray (117) and Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards (116).
Gilgeous-Alexander is the reigning league MVP and is favored to win the award again this season.
But he liked receiving the Jerry West Trophy too.
“This award means a lot,” Gilgeous-Alexander said of the Clutch Player award on NBC Sports. “To get this award, you have to help your team win games late and what I’m about more than anything is winning games.”
Gilgeous-Alexander led the NBA with 175 points that occurred in clutch time, defined as games that were within five points in the final five minutes of regulation or overtime.
He shot 60.9% from the field (39 of 64) during clutch time and made a league-best 16 go-ahead field goals.
Fourth-place Cade Cunningham (50 points) of the Detroit Pistons received one first-place vote, fifth-place Jalen Brunson (42 points) of the New York Knicks landed two and sixth-place Nikola Jokic (37 points) of Denver received one.
This was the fourth season in which the award was given out. De’Aaron Fox (then with the Sacramento Kings) won the 2023 award, followed by Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors in 2024 and Brunson last season. Fox now plays for the San Antonio Spurs.
West was known as “Mr. Clutch” during his stellar career (1960-74) with the Los Angeles Lakers due to his many late-game exploits. He died in 2024.

Jun 1, 2017; East Rutherford, NJ, USA; Mexico defender Rafael Marquez (4) passes the ball during the second half of their game against the Republic of Ireland at MetLife Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Ed Mulholland-Imagn Images Rafael Marquez will replace Javier Aguirre as manager of Mexico’s national team after this summer’s World Cup, Mexico Football Federation sporting director Duilio Davino confirmed in an interview with Fox Sports Mexico on Monday.
Marquez, a legendary defender for FC Barcelona as well as the Mexican national team, has served as an assistant coach on Aguirre’s Mexican national team staff since July 2024, when the pair were both hired with a succession plan in place.
“His contract is signed and his staff is nearly 80% set,” Davino said of Marquez. “Andres (Guardado) is an option (to join Rafa’s staff). Off the pitch, Marquez is a (big) personality. On the pitch today, as both an assistant and a coach, Rafa is the way he was as a player. He transforms inside a dressing room.”
Mexico is hosting 13 matches — including all three of the country’s group-stage matches and three knockout round matches — in this summer’s World Cup, which it is co-hosting along with the U.S. and Canada.
Marquez has minimal coaching appearance, previously coaching Alcala’s U15 team and the Barcelona B squad in Spain before joining Mexico’s coaching staff.
However, he’s one of the most accomplished Mexican players in international history, captaining the country in five World Cups (2002, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018) and scoring 17 goals in 147 caps for Mexico from 1997-2018.
He also helped Barcelona win 10 trophies, including a pair of Champions League titles and four La Liga championships, during his time with the club from 2003-2010.
Aguirre’s third stint as Mexico’s manager will come to an end this summer. The Mexico City native previously led the national team from 2001-02 and 2009-10.
Mexico, which is in Group A of the World Cup, will play the opening match of the event on June 11 against South Africa in Mexico City.
