The Finlandia University softball team has added another recruit. ShyAnn Vernam is a pitcher from San Tan Valley, Arizona.
High School
The 12-day extension of the state’s COVID-19 pause also includes a ban on most face-to-face high school activities, including sports. That would appear to mean that the high school volleyball and football tournaments will not be able to resume before the Christmas break. After the extension was announced yesterday, the Michigan High School Athletic Association said its Representative Council will meet tomorrow to discuss the fates of the fall sport tournaments, and the abbreviated winter sports schedules.
MLB
Anthony Castro is no longer a Detroit Tiger. The pitching prospect made his major league debut last summer, but was waived yesterday to make room on the 40-man roster for a potential Rule Five draft pick. The Tigers had hoped Castro would clear waivers, and could be assigned to Toledo, but he was claimed by the Blue Jays.
