Day: Buckeyes RB Henderson ‘full go’ vs. Badgers
-
Adam Rittenberg, ESPN Senior Writer
Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson is set to return Saturday at Wisconsin after missing the team’s past three games with an undisclosed injury.
Coach Ryan Day said on his radio show Thursday that Henderson would be “full go” for the Wisconsin game. Henderson went through warmups before Ohio State’s last two games with Penn State and Purdue but ultimately did not play.
He had 104 yards and a touchdown Sept. 23 at Notre Dame, his most recent appearance. Henderson has struggled with injuries in each of the past two seasons after a breakout freshman year in 2021, when he had 1,248 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns, as well as 312 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
Ohio State has dealt with injuries at running back for much of the season and ranks 99th nationally in rushing yards per game and 94th in yards per rush. Miyan Williams returned from injury to lead the run game last week against Penn State, and Chip Trayanum and Dallan Hayden also have had roles.
“We didn’t run the ball well enough, we didn’t get enough explosive plays,” Day said after the Penn State win. “We certainly could use Tre in the backfield, but we had enough to win.”
Day said earlier in the week that he’s hopeful starting wide receiver Emeka Egbuka and top cornerback Denzel Burke also will be back against the Badgers. Egbuka has missed Ohio State’s past two games, while Burke was injured Oct. 14 against Purdue and did not play against Penn State.
NEW YORK — Dan Iassogna will be the umpire crew chief and work the plate during Tuesday night’s All-Star Game at Atlanta’s Truist Park.
His crew will include Marvin Hudson at first, Chris Segal at second, Jansen Visconti at third, Jeremie Rehak in left and Erich Bacchus in right, Major League Baseball said Thursday.
Iassogna, 56, will work his second All-Star Game. He was at third base for the 2011 game at Arizona.
He worked his first big league game in 1999, was hired to the major league staff in 2004 and appointed a crew chief ahead of the 2020 season. Iassogna umpired the World Series in 2012, ’17 and ’22 along with eight League Championship Series and seven Division Series.
Segal, Visconti, Rehak and Bacchus will work their first All-Star Games and Hudson his second after being in left field in 2004 at Houston.
Tony Randazzo will be the replay umpire in New York.
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Athletics slugger Brent Rooker is adding his name to the list of Home Run Derby participants.
Rooker announced Thursday that he’s participating in the event, which takes place Monday in Atlanta. He will become the first Athletics player in the Home Run Derby since Matt Olson in 2021.
“Competing in the Home Run Derby has always been a dream of mine,” Rooker said in an Instagram post. “Can’t wait to make it happen next week in Atlanta! See ya there!”
Rooker, 30, entered Thursday with a .270 batting average, 19 homers and 50 RBIs, putting him on pace for a third straight season of at least 30 homers. He went deep 30 times in 2023 and had 39 homers in 2024.
His 58 homers since the start of the 2024 season rank him third among all American League players.
The only A’s to win the Derby were Mark McGwire in 1992 and Yoenis Céspedes in 2013 and 2014.
Other announced participants include Atlanta’s Ronald Acuña Jr., Minnesota’s Byron Buxton, Tampa Bay’s Junior Caminero, Pittsburgh’s Oneil Cruz, Seattle’s Cal Raleigh and Washington’s James Wood.
