Setback for Dragons and Louie Varland
Thursday, May 28th , 2026
Louie Varland is hurting again, just a few days into his treatment for a ruptured finger tendon. Apparently the injury worsened, so the Dragons sent the 28-year-old starting pitcher back to the doctors for reexamination. Varland told them that the pain had gotten much worse in recent days. It was confirmed that the injury was indeed much more severe that first thought. He was sent to a specialist, who felt that treatment would be longer than first diagnosed. Varland will now miss a minimum of 4 months.

Louie Varland is expected to undergo surgery in San Francisco(California) tomorrow.
Wallner, Melton Swap Teams
Thursday, May 28th , 2026
Earlier today, officials from the New York Sharks and the Phoenix Firebirds announced that they had finalized negotiations on a trade between the two teams. The deal will send 28-year old RF Matt Wallner to Phoenix in exchange for 25-year old minor league CF Jacob Melton, 24-year old minor league LHP Ixan Henderson, and 22-year old minor league RF Max Belyeu.


During the current season Wallner is batting at a .253 clip with 7 home runs and 21 RBIs. He has played in 46 games and scored 22 times.
Smashing Success: Devers Wallops 3 HR
Wednesday, May 27th , 2026
Toronto Hogs third baseman Rafael Devers sensed he was going to have a good day at the plate, but he still might have underestimated it a little.

Prior to the start of today's contest with the Montreal PoorBoys, Devers told teammates he was sure he would hit a home run. He did -- three times.

"During batting practice I really had my swing down pat," he recalled. "I felt some thunder in the lumber."

The big day from Devers pushed the Hogs past the PoorBoys, 9-3. To go along with the homers, he collected 6 RBIs and scored 3 runs.

"I was seeing good, feeling good and swinging good," Devers told reporters after the game.

Rafael Devers hit a two-run home run off Joe Musgrove in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Joe Musgrove in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Joe Musgrove in the 5th, flied out in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th.

This year, Devers has hit 8 home runs and posted a .282 batting average.
