During this week’s Genesis Invitational at Riviera, you might be checking the score list to see how Rory McIlroy is doing (a solid second behind Jacob Bridgeman, although six shots back at 13-under),  or maybe Scottie Scheffler (tied for 20th at 5-under after recovering from a tough opening round, yet still lurking).
  But the soul of the tour, its gristle and fiber, is that mass of players who grind it

  New year, new Galaxy.
  Right?
  That’s what everyone around the club is hoping. After a dismal 2025, the Galaxy added pieces in some necessary spots – bringing in defender Jakob Glesnes, defensive midfielder Justin Haak, midfielder Erik Thommy and forward Joao Klauss – but retained the majority of last year’s roster and will look for some young faces to continue their development with a full offseason and training camp.

• Angels’ José Soriano looks for consistency in 2026

  TEMPE, Ariz. — When José Soriano was at his best, he was everything the Angels could want in a young anchor to their rotation.
  The problem happened in the other games, which were too frequent.
  Soriano gave up at least seven runs in four of his starts and five runs in four others. He also gave up no runs or one run in 14 starts.
  All of that added up to a 4.26 ERA.
