Chargers selected Ole Miss WR Tre Harris with the No. 55 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
A former high school quarterback, Harris (6’2/205) spent three years at Louisiana Tech where he peaked at 935 yards in his third season. Harris then transferred to Ole Miss for another 900-yard season. In his fifth season of college ball, Harris finally hit the century mark, going for 1,030 yards and seven scores on 60 grabs. Playing in just eight games because of a lower body injury, Harris averaged 129 yards per week and posted a historic yards per route run of 5.1. That is easily the highest mark for a receiver at a major conference in the past decade. Harris won as a big-play creator on the boundary, but the bulk of his production came against lower levels of competition. He played four non-conference games, only one of which was against a Power Four opponent. He posted a 38/628/4 line in these contests. Harris was still successful in four SEC games, but cutting a small sample with weak opponents creates loads of risk in his profile. Harris will need to win as a physical, contested-catch artist in the NFL because his 4.54 Forty won’t be enough to blow by professional corners.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters after Wednesday’s win over the Athletics that Matt Sauer will start Thursday against the A’s.
Sauer will be capable of working multiple innings, but the 26-year-old won’t be able to go deep enough to qualify for a victory unless the Athletics are incredibly aggressive against the right-hander. He won’t be a quality streaming option for Thursday’s bullpen game against the Athletics.
Shohei Ohtani hit a leadoff homer and went 2-for-4 in a win over the Athletics on Wedneday.
Ohtani hit a no-doubter to lead off the game for the Dodgers and it bumps his homer total to 13. He’s been remarkably — and surprisingly — good in the month of May, and he’s now slashing .341/.442/.818 over those 48 at-bats in that timeframe. There’s a long way to go, but a back-to-back MVP season is well within reason, even if he doesn’t return to the mound in 2025.
Andy Pages went 3-for-4 with a homer in a win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
Max Muncy hit a three-run homer in a win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
