Sunday saw key developments across major sports, including a suspension in MLB, an update on the NBA playoffs, and a significant achievement in WTA tennis. MLB's Alvarado faced suspension for substance use, while WTA's Paolini made headlines for her impressive doubles title defense in Rome.
In a whirlwind of sports activity on Sunday, the Major League Baseball (MLB) scene was rocked by the suspension of Philadelphia Phillies' closer, Jose Alvarado, following a positive test for a performance-enhancing substance. This decision sidelines him for 80 games, a significant loss for the team as the season progresses.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Twins have bolstered their lineup by promoting right-hander Zebby Matthews from Triple-A for their game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Marlins experienced a setback as Xavier Edwards was added to the injured list even as Otto Lopez rejoined the team.
Across the sporting spectrum, Jasmine Paolini of Italy pulled off a rare double win alongside Sara Errani in the WTA doubles at the Italian Open, marking a feat not seen in 16 years. Keeping fans glued, the NHL and NBA playoffs featured intensive matchups, and the PGA Championship drew significant attention from golf enthusiasts.
