Antonacci is making a name for himself with the White Sox, but if you didn't know who he was before this season, no one can blame you. Time to dive in and take a deeper look at Antonacci.

6/12/26 10:00 AM - Tarik Skubal, the Cleveland Browns and other athletes credit a tiny new scope for faster recoveries. Several top pro athletes and their surgeons say a modern version of an old tool is shaving weeks off the recovery time after certain injuries. And some top doctors think this is only the beginning. Cy Young Award winners Tarik Skubal and Blake Snell let doctors use the instrument on their prized elbows. Connor Hellebuyck, the 2025 Hart Trophy winner as NHL MVP, trusted it to address issues in his knee. Several NFL players have turned to it, too. It’s called the NanoNeedle scope 2.0, a miniaturized, flexible version of the traditional arthroscope. It’s very early — there is little research into the instrument — but it is accumulating an impressive list of proponents.
