Despite not making it to training camp on time over a contractual dispute Ezekiel Elliott Jersey , Sam Darnold has not been ruled out of the New York Jets' starting quarterback race.ESPN's Adam Schefter reported a source said Darnold "has a very fair shot" of beating out Teddy Bridgewater and Josh McCown to start Week 1.The Jets believe Darnold is closer to being ready to start than they expected when opening camp, and his performance in the preseason will be key to determining the outcome of the battle.Darnold missed the first three days of camp as the two sides haggled over the language in his rookie contract.Bridgewater and McCown were seen as favorites over Darnold coming into camp because they're veterans; McCown, in particular, had success last season starting in New York. Bridgewater was the Minnesota Vikings' franchise quarterback before a catastrophic knee injury changed the trajectory of his career.Darnold is seen as the future in New York but was turnover prone at times at USC, and the Jets have time to wait. They're not seen as a playoff contender this season, and it may be better for Darnold's long-term development if he sat Vontaze Burfict Youth Jersey , watched and was not taking a ton of hits in the pocket.Darnold聽told reporters:"Competition is awesome. When I went through it at SC, it was really cool to come out here and compete every single day because that is what this sport is about. I think it also pushes guys on the team when they are seeing a vet like Josh, a vet like Teddy and me coming in and competing really hard."I think it pushes everyone. There are guys at other positions that are competing for jobs as well. It is just really awesome to be able to come out here in this competitive environment and just compete. I think that is the name of the game out here, especially in camp. Once guys' legs start to get a little bit tired,聽competition聽I think pushes all of us to be better."Once Darnold got into camp, this was the expected outcome. He may have started a little behind the other two Denzel Ward Browns Jersey , but the 21-year-old undoubtedly has the highest ceiling of the three. Him hitting throws the others might not be able to in practice isn't a surprise; doing it in game situations is another question entirely.The Jets will probably spend most of the preseason with a wide-open battle, with the winner being determined by how they fare in game action. They open the preseason Friday against the Atlanta Falcons. Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp and Texas Rangers catcher Robinson Chirinos were suspended for one game apiece by Major League Baseball on Friday because of a scuffle that followed a collision at home plate.
Joe Torre, MLB’s chief baseball officer, announced the suspensions, along with undisclosed fines.
Chirinos was not in the Rangers’ lineup Friday night for a series opener at home against Colorado, and the team said he was serving his suspension. Kemp is appealing his suspension Cheap Isaiah Oliver Jersey , and was in the lineup for Los Angeles’ game against San Francisco.
Kemp said he was surprised by the punishment and he appealed because he disagrees with it.
”Nothing happened,” he said. ”Just a little pushing. I’ve seen way worse happen. So I guess we’ll see what they decide, but I don’t agree with it.”
Kemp was trying to score from second base on a two-out single by Enrique Hernandez in the third inning of Wednesday night’s game at Dodger Stadium. Chirinos caught a pinpoint throw by right fielder Nomar Mazara and had his glove out to tag Kemp, who barreled into the catcher with his arms up and leading with his shoulder. Chirinos’ helmet flew off as both he and Kemp fell to the ground.
Both benches and bullpens cleared after Chirinos and Kemp got up and shoved each other. Kemp was restrained by Rangers starter Cole Hamels.
No punches were thrown, but Chirinos and Kemp were both ejected.
”I think you can debate who instigated that confrontation,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. ”There wasn’t a punch thrown on (Kemp’s) part. So I think Darius Leonard Jersey , obviously, emotions on both sides. It’s old-school baseball and both teams move forward.”
Rules have been put in place to outlaw runners from plowing into catchers, and catchers have to give runners a lane to the plate in most cases. On this play, the throw home took Chirinos directly into Kemp’s path.
In a series of moves before Friday’s game, the Rangers recalled catcher Jose Trevino from nearby Double-A Frisco even though they played with only 24 players because of the suspension.
Carlos Perez started behind the plate in place of Chirinos, but Perez rolled his right ankle while extending to catch a wide throw from the outfield in the second. Perez finished the inning in the field Saquon Barkley Giants Jersey , but Trevino made his big league debut when he batted for Perez in the bottom half and remained in the game at catcher.
Texas placed right-handed relievers Matt Bush (right elbow strain) and Chris Martin (right calf strain) on the 10-day disabled list. Martin felt a twinge in his leg when running out of the bullpen Wednesday night at the start of the scuffle.
The Rangers also recalled right-hander Yohander Mendez from Triple-A Round Rock to start Friday night’s game, a day after infielder Hanser Alberto was sent back to Round Rock. Lefty reliever Brandon Mann was also recalled.
Mazara was a late scratch from the Texas lineup because of left wrist soreness.
