Scioscia said Monday that Ohtani had no apprehension about his elbow when his velocity dropped drastically the previous night. The two-way player lasted only 2 1/3 innings at Houston on Sunday night in his first game on the mound since June 6 because of an elbow strain. He was dealing with tightness in his back and a sore right ring finger after a ball deflected off of it in the second inning, but neither issue should cause him to miss more time....

Octopath Traveler’s system is a bit more sophisticated than that, with every job having a place in the overall grand scheme. It ends up boiling down to which characters with which job combinations are the most effective toward the game’s end, allowing players the most power and flexibility to survive Octopath Traveler’s slightly more difficult skill curve....

The Jaguars, who went 3-13 last season, certainly would qualify. Their upset win over the Steelers in the divisional round of the playoffs has them where nobody expected them to be — playing in the AFC championship game against a team that, well, virtually everybody expected to see this far into January.

The loss saw the West Africans rooted to the bottom of Group D, thus, needing a good result against Iceland to stand a chance of nicking a place in the knockout stages of the competition. And the striker hopes the team create openings against Heimir Hallgrimsson’s men to help secure a favourable result....

On Monday, arresting officer Justin D’Amico acknowledged two key errors he made in filing the report on Garner’s death—writing that no physical force was used in the arrest and charging Garner with a tax-avoidance felony. Garner was killed on July 17, 2014, after D’Amico’s partner, Daniel Pantaleo, put Garner in a prohibited chokehold while arresting him. Video footage of the incident propelled Garner’s death into the national spotlight and played an instrumental role in the racial justice movement....
