The MLB season is heating up, and one Philadelphia Phillies star is continuing to see grapefruits at the plate. Let's dive right into the action this morning.

The San Francisco 49ers have placed tight end George Kittle on the IR after the star tight end suffered a hamstring injury in the team's season opener against the Seattle Seahawks.
Last season, the 49ers were decimated by injury. It appears that is going to be the case in 2025 as well.

The Philadelphia Phillies have a comfortable nine-game lead on the New York Mets in the National League East as the MLB season winds down. One reason the Phillies have been so dominant this season has been the year Kyle Schwarber has had at the plate.
On Tuesday night, Schwarber hit his 50th home run of the season. Schwarber's 50th dinger has him in first for most home runs in the National League. However, Cal "Big Dumper" Raleigh leads the entire league with 53.
