The New York Yankees fell to the Athletics by a score of 1-0 on Thursday afternoon, managing just one hit in the loss. Their scoreless streak has now reached 17 innings, and while the Yankees are 8-4, there is every reason to be concerned.

Why? Because many of the same issues that plagued New York last season — which ended in an embarrassing four-game loss to the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS — are present this year, as well.

The bullpen has been a prominent concern, with David Bednar consistently walking a tightrope in the ninth inning and Camilo Doval owning an 8.31 ERA.

But that isn’t even the most significant problem affecting the Yankees right now.

While Giancarlo Stanton and Ben Rice are both off to terrific starts and Aaron Judge will almost certainly find his groove at some point, it’s time to start acknowledging that the latter half of New York’s lineup is troublesome.

That goes beyond Ryan McMahon, who is batting just .069 over 36 plate appearances.

Austin Wells is hitting .167 with a .486 OPS. Jose Caballero is slashing .135/.200/.162. And while Trent Grisham bats leadoff, his .597 OPS is unsightly, too.

Wendy’s gave more details on plans to close hundreds of restaurants in the U.S. in an effort to focus on value and boost low sales.

The fast food giant previously reported sales declining 11.3% domestically and confirmed plans to close many locations. The plan is part of Wendy’s ‘Project Fresh’ which was “designed to revitalize the brand, reignite growth, and accelerate profitability.”

Wendy’s will make improvements to some of the struggling stores, which may vary between the addition of new technology and equipment, a transfer of ownership or shutting down the stores entirely. 

Numerous fast food chains have struggled to attract consumers.

McDonald’s is planning a major overhaul to its burgers, including its signature entree, the Big Mac, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The global fast food chain plans to rollout what it calls its “best burgers ever,” putting a focus on correcting dry patties and squishy buns. The changes will include the following:

• Six patties grilled at a time instead of eight to have its auto-cooking mechanism apply less pressure and retain more burger patty juices
• More sauce on Big Macs
• Addition of thicker, buttery brioche buns to retain heat
• Sesame seeds more randomly scattered on buns
• Cheese taken out of refrigerators sooner to melt more when cooked
• Onions rehydrated after purchase to provide more juiciness
• Lettuce and pickles stored in smaller containers to be refreshed more often.

The changes were initially introduced at select international markets including Australia, Canada and Belgium and have since been rolled out in several West Coast cities including Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Sacramento, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Denver, Boise and Tucson, among others.

It wasn’t pretty, but Michigan has its first national title in 37 years.

The Wolverines beat UConn 69-63 to win the 2026 men’s NCAA tournament. It’s the second national championship in program history and snaps a 25-year title drought for the Big Ten. 

Before Michigan’s win on Monday night, Michigan State’s title in 2000 was the last time a Big Ten team had won a men’s basketball championship.

Michigan entered the game scoring at least 90 points in each of its first five NCAA tournament games. The Wolverines became the first team ever to achieve that feat. And it was quickly apparent that 90 would be well out of reach in the title game.

Michigan entered the game with a massive size advantage over UConn in the front court.
