MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers have placed pitcher Grant Anderson on the 15-day injured list with right biceps inflammation while recalling pitcher Brandon Sproat from Triple-A Nashville. Anderson threw a season-high 44 pitches and matched a season high by working 2 2/3 innings Sunday in the Brewers’ 12-8 loss at Cincinnati. The 29-year-old right-hander is 3-3 with a 3.36 ERA in 52 appearances this season. Sproat went 3-7 with a 5.27 ERA with Milwaukee earlier this season.
DETROIT (AP) — Riley Greene had three hits, including a two-run homer, and Kevin McGonigle added a solo shot to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Tigers starter Troy Melton gave up four runs and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings, and four relievers held the Twins to one hit the rest of the way. Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for his 494th career save and 18th this season. Joe Ryan lasted four innings for Minnesota in his return from the injured list. Trevor Larnach homered and scored twice for the Twins, who are 4 1/2 games out of a playoff spot with 18 to play.
(Madison, WI) — Badgers head coach Luke Fickell says the energy and momentum shifted in the second half of his team’s 41-13 loss to Notre Dame Sunday night. Clutch Points-dot-com reports that the dominant second half showed that Wisconsin still has a lot of work to do. Fickell’s team suffered through six penalties, two turnovers, and a weak offensive performance after half. The game effectively ended when a pick-6 gave the Irish a 27-10 lead in the third period. The Badgers have two winnable home games next before taking on ranked opponents Penn State and USC.
(Milwaukee, WI) — If the Bucks want to complete a successful rebuild they still have some trades to make. That could be difficult. ESPN is reporting that Milwaukee isn’t finding trade partners as it tries to move Myles Turner. One problem could be the 107-million-dollar contract the team agreed to with Turner. As it stands now, a rebuilding Bucks team doesn’t have a first-round draft pick for next year.
(Green Bay, WI) — The Packers have announced their captains for the 2026 NFL season. Four of them are returners and one is new. The announcement was made Monday. The team leaders will be quarterback Jordan Love, tight end Tucker Kraft, safety Xavier McKinney, linebacker Zaire Franklin and special teams member Isaiah McDuffie. Franklin, who arrived in an offseason trade, is the only newcomer, but he was a captain for the Indianapolis Colts for the past six years.
Rice Lake WI, Sept. 6 – The final event of the 2026 racing season at the Rice Lake Speedway, the second half of the third annual Dairyland Dash, produced some wild finishes and some memorable racing action. Kennedy Swan was ruled the winner of the twenty five lap Modified feature even though when the checkered flag flew, she was propped up against the outside retaining wall in turn four, Cooper Sundby pulled a rabbit out of his hat for the second straight night, making a very late comeback to win the Late Model feature and Blake Adams became the only driver to repeat both nights after he won the Midwest Modified main event. Other feature winners as the speedway wrapped up its seventy fourth year of dirt track racing in the Indianhead region of northern Wisconsin included Jesse Redetzke, Shawn Amundson and Simon Wahlstrom.
One hundred and thirty drivers signed in to race on Sunday night in the six classes in competition this weekend including over a dozen the did not race on Saturday night. And while all six races produced good racing action, the event that will be discussed most was the Modified feature race.
With two thousand dollars on the line to the race winner, the action was intense with two teenagers slugging it out for the win. Kennedy Swan got the jump on Brady Uotinen to lead the opening lap which was then slowed by an early spin. Only three more laps could be completed before another spin slowed the action once again.
However, by this time the pattern for the race had been formed as Swan continued to lead with both Uotinen and Kaden Blaeser challenging while Tyler Vernon and Mike Anderson battled for position right behind them.
Swan was all over the track, using the high side and then occasionally dropping low as she sought the fastest line with both Uotinen and Blaeser putting heavy pressure on her. The drivers had thrown caution to the wind and were running some daring laps as they challenged the strength of the concrete walls while trying to make the track wider than it was.
Swan continued to lead at the halfway point of the race with Uotinen just ahead of Blaeser while Anderson edged ahead of Vernon. The top three continued to run in a close group with Swan and Blaeser mainly working the high side while Uotinen ran the inside line. They remained in that order but a last spin with just five laps to go would set up a dramatic finish.
Blaeser would get a great final restart and he drove past both Uotinen and Swan on the following lap to edge into the lead. However, Swan was not about to relinquish the lead easily and she charged back at Blaeser, throwing a wicked slide job on Blaeser in turn four that saw her edge back into the lead while Blaeser tried to regain control after a near miss between the two.
Blaeser would not go quietly and he appeared re energized to get the lead back. Twice he dove extremely hard into the corners, nearly clipping the car of Swan as he sought to get back under her to attempt a pass.
Things came to a head on the final lap as Blaeser had a big run on Swan down the back chute. He dove very hard into turn three and slammed into the side of Swan’s car, sending up up into the concrete wall while then driving on himself to receive the checkered flag as the apparent winner. However, the next time around on the cool down lap, he had the black flag waved at him and track officials quickly huddled to determine the outcome as the fans and drivers alike waited to see what the decision would be.
The answer was provided when Swan’s car, on the back of a wrecker, was towed to victory lane as she was awarded the victory due to the rough driving incident. The official finish found Uotinen scored second with Vernon, Anderson and Jake Hartung completing the top five in a wild Modified feature to wrap up their season at the track.
Cooper Sundby is making a habit of pulling off late race victories in the Late Models and he did so for the second straight night as a lap nineteen pass on Adam Prieve allowed him to pull out the win.
Prieve, who was not on hand for Saturday night’s show, had used a dominating performance in his heat race to claim the pole position for the feature race and he used that prized starting slot to grab an immediate lead over Sundby who started to the outside of him.
Prieve then built up a considerable lead as he rode the cushion on the race track and despite a pair of early yellows, he was able to control the race up until the very end. Racing through traffic, Prieve got held up briefly which allowed Sundby to close on him but Adam made some good moves and again put distance on himself and the field. Patrick Kelley and Lucas Peterson were having a heavy battle for third as the race moved into its second half.
In fact, it was a Kelley spin with fifteen laps completed as he battled for position that changed around the race and gave Sundby his chance. On the final green for the five lap dash to the finish, Prieve again went to the cushion while Sundby worked the low side of the track and the top two then began a side by side battle that would linger to the finish. Sundby was gaining a little at a time on each lap and as the white flag was waved, he edged into the lead by .029 seconds and on the last lap he stretched that slightly ans while Prieve got the nose of his car up to the rear fender of Sundby’s, Cooper held him off by less than a car length for the win. Mitch Fenske rallied late to drive up to third ahead of Peterson and Zack Drews
The Midwest Modified feature was an instant replay from Saturday night’s event as Blake Adams and Brady Larson battled it out once again from start to finish, just as they had the previous night. They left the competition in the dust while they fought it out for the win with Adams once again coming out on top.
They started side by side on the front row and spent the whole racing dueling it out between them. Adams once again grabbed the early lead and Larson spent the whole twenty laps trying to figure out a route past Adams.
Jason Vokovan had a strong run as he moved into third by the halfway point of the race with Tyler Vernon seeking to get past him. The leaders weaved through lapped traffic as the race had a single yellow flag and the long green flag session allowed drivers to spread out all over the track.
Larson could stay close but he was never able to get a winning run accomplished, and Adams kept his line and drove on for the win. Late in the race Vernon got past Vokovan for third with Joe Swearingen completing a top five run.
Jesse Redetzke led from start to finish to win the Super Stock feature but it was not an easy win as he had both Shawn McFadden and Tommy Richards putting heavy pressure on him throughout the race and when they weren’t battling to get past Redetzke, they were battling each other with many laps seeing them side by side around the track.
A lap thirteen yellow flag bunched the field one last time and McFadden decided to go for broke, moving to the outside lane to take a shot at Redetzke. He nearly pulled it off but just couldn’t gather enough speed to make the pass and he was forced to fall back in line behind Richards, who had blocked his line to squeeze back into second.
That’s the way the top three finished with Redetzke never faltering despite the heavy pressure. Shane Kisling opted to run the cushion and he made it work, driving up from tenth to edge past Tucker Quinn on the final lap and claim fourth.
The Street Stock feature was a three car battle from start to finish with Shawn Amundson holding off all the challenges of Cody Kummer and Parker Anderson to take the win. Amundson took the early lead with Anderson edging past Kummer for second. Both of them were running right on the rear bumper of Amundson’s car but neither were able to get past the Rice Lake driver. Anderson preferred the outside line and while he edged up beside Amundson a couple of times, he just couldn’t quite get past for the lead.
Kummer also opted to restart on the outside a couple of times too, but he had no more success than Anderson as neither was able to make a pass on Amundson.
A yellow late set up a one lap dash to the finish and Amundson, as he had during the whole race, didn’t make a mistake or give and opening and he drove on for the win with Kummer holding off Anderson who made one last attempt to drive by on the high side. Cole Richards, track point champion, worked his way up to fourth at the end with Connor Franson having a good run for fifth.
Simon Wahlstrom was back behind the wheel on Sunday and the result was a win in a hard fought Pure Stock feature race. James Rahn led the first three laps before Wahlstrom drove up from the second row to take the lead.
However, Rahn fought back and continued to challenge Wahlstrom along with George Richards with Tyler Wahlstrom and Mark Barta close behind also as the lead group was running in a tight pack.
Barta was turned around, triggering a yellow and one lap later Rahn, still battling for the lead, spun and set up a three lap sprint to the finish.
Simon Wahlstrom then fought off challenges from Richards and Barta to take the win with Austin Fencl and Tyler Wahlstrom rounding out the top five.
