Houston shortstop Carlos Correa was scratched from the team's 5-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates championship rings on Tuesday because of a sore neck.

The Astros don't think the problem is serious, but there's a chance he won't be ready for the start of the regular season Thursday. Manager AJ Hinch said Correa was "uncomfortable" after being tagged in a rundown in Friday's game.

Hinch said Correa has still been doing baseball activities despite not appearing in a game since Friday.

Correa's setback comes a season after he missed six weeks with a back injury that lingered throughout the season. He 13 homers and 49 RBI the first half of last season, but he never got over a pinched nerve in a disc in his back in the second half and batted just .180 with two home runs and 16 RBI.

The back problem left him with the lowest batting average of his four-year career (.239) and his fewest hits (96), doubles (20), homers (15) and RBI (65).

The Houston Astros championship rings for sale got a good look at two of their top pitching prospects on Tuesday in J.B. Bukauskas and Corbin Martin.

Bukauskas started for Houston and allowed three hits and two runs while striking out three in four innings to give him a 1.69 ERA this spring. Bukauskas, who was the 15th overall pick in the 2017 amateur draft, hasn't ascended past Double-A in his first two seasons in the organization.

It will be some time before he's part of the big league club, but the cheap Houston Astros championship rings are high on the 22-year-old right hander. He'll probably start the season in Double-A, but is likely to see time at Triple-A Round Rock before the end of this season.

Martin took over for the fifth and struck out six and walked three without allowing a hit in four scoreless innings. The right-hander could get a shot with the Astros sooner than Bukauskas, but is likely to open the 2019 season in Round Rock custom championship rings.

Martin, who was drafted in the second round in 2017 out of Texas A&M, went 7-2 with a 2.97 ERA in 21 games with 18 starts in Double-A last season. Hinch raved about the 23-year-old.

Hinch said it's easy to project Martin as an mlb championship rings for sale starter because he has four pitches and has shown he is capable of retaining his velocity throughout an outing. With a rotation headlined by veterans Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole, the Astros likely won't be looking for another starter this season. But if they do, Hinch can see Martin being the guy.

Brandon Maurer started for the cheap Pittsburgh Pirates championship rings on Tuesday and struck out one in a perfect inning.

Golden State's most recent homestand included a 33-point loss to Boston and a startling defeat to last-place Phoenix, reminding the Warriors of the work that's ahead of them to win a fourth cheap nba championship rings in five years.

The Golden State Warriors championship rings passed their first challenge with a 3-1 record on this tough road trip, finishing in Minnesota with a clinic in half-court passing and shooting.

Stephen Curry scored 22 of his 36 points in the third quarter and Klay Thompson pitched in with 28 points, giving the Warriors more than enough production to beat the fading Timberwolves 117-107 on Tuesday and regain first place in the Western Conference.

The Warriors had 39 assists on 44 made field goals and finished 19 for 42 from 3-point range. They've won 20 of their last 25 games away from home.

"Some possessions, it was a lot of overpassing, to be honest," Curry said, "but against teams that try to put pressure on you and take away that first option, that's the best way for us to really attack."

Jonas Jerebko added 18 points, Kevin Durant scored 17 points and Draymond Green had 10 rebounds and nine assists for the Golden State Warriors championship rings for sale (48-22), who bounced back with little rest from a loss at San Antonio on Monday and moved a half-game ahead of idle Denver (47-22) for the top seed. The Warriors beat Houston and Oklahoma City, currently in the third and sixth spots in the stacked conference race, to start the trip. Falling at home to Phoenix clearly captured their attention.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 26 points and 21 rebounds, Andrew Wiggins totaled 20 points, eight rebounds and six assists and Josh Okogie had 19 points for the Timberwolves, who played again without the injured Jeff Teague, Derrick Rose, Robert Covington and Luol Deng, and lost their fourth straight game.

The cheap Golden State Warriors championship rings, finishing their ninth set of games on consecutive nights out of 12 back-to-backs on their schedule this season, started rather sleepily and watched the Wolves build a 22-9 lead.

The beauty of the Warriors -- or irritation, depending on the rooting interest -- is how quickly they can recover. They used a 21-3 run over the next 5:51 to take control, with their long-range shooting simply too much for this undermanned Wolves team that, even at full strength, is vulnerable defensively cheap championship rings.

Jerebko, whose playing time has dwindled since DeMarcus Cousins returned, had 14 points in the second quarter alone, including a couple of deep 3-pointers from the wing to help the Warriors cruise into halftime with a 59-47 lead.

The Wolves managed to work their way back to tie the game at 61 on Okogie's 3-pointer, but the Warriors needed only 3:18 for a 14-1 spurt that put them right back in charge. Curry had eight of those points.

Notre Dame coach Mike Brey has been waiting all season for his team to figure out how to make a big plays in clutch situations.

He finally got it Tuesday -- on the biggest stage of the season.

John Mooney made a key 15-footer in the final minute as the shot clock was winding down to make it a two-possession game as Notre Dame held on to beat Georgia Tech 78-71 in the first round of the ACC championship rings to snap a seven-game losing streak.

Mooney finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds and Dane Goodwin added 15 points for the Irish, who nearly squandered a 20-point halftime lead.

Brey praised Mooney for his effort this season saying he's not sure how the 6-foot-9, 243-pound power forward has any energy left at all custom University/College Rings championship rings.

It was Mooney's 20th double-double of the season, coming days after he was named third-team All-Conference, which he called an honor.

"There's obviously some great players in this league, probably some first-round and second-round draft picks coming up in the NBA Draft, so it's awesome to be able to compete against those guys," Mooney said.

Moses Wright led Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets championship rings (14-18) with 25 points and James Banks III had 12 points and 11 rebounds.

It was Notre Dame's first victory since defeating the Yellow Jackets 69-59 in South Bend, Indiana, on Feb. 10 and only their fourth win of the calendar year.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish championship rings (14-18) didn't play like the last place team in the ACC in the first half, shooting 58 percent from the field to build a 52-32 lead over the 10th-seeded Yellow Jackets.

Georgia Tech picked up the intensity with full-court pressure in the second half and cut the Irish lead to six with 1:56 remaining on a 3-pointer from the left wing by Jose Alvarado. After an Irish miss, Moore sank a 3 from the right corner and the lead was suddenly down to 72-69 with 1:06 remaining NCAA championship rings.

But Mooney didn't panic, calmly drilling a 15-footer as the shot clock was winding down. Prentiss Hubb then sank two free throws after a Georgia Tech miss to put the Irish safely up by seven with 32 seconds left.

Michael Devoe cut the lead to five on a layup, but Juwan Durham blocked Devoe on the next possession to help seal the win.

Georgia Tech was fifth in the country in 3-point defense, but Notre Dame blistered them by hitting 8 of 14 from beyond the arc, including 7 of 11 in the first half championship rings.

"They shot the daylights out of it the first half," Georgia Tech coach Josh Pastner said. "We were just on our heels, in a sense, and they were just making those 3s."

Said Brey: "We shot a crazy percentage today."

Manager Gabe Kapler heard the big news from fans in the stands during the Philadelphia Phillies championship rings spring training game. His team won the Bryce Harper sweepstakes, agreeing to a 13-year, $330 million deal with the free-agent outfielder, league sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan on Thursday.

Harper, the 2015 National League MVP and still only 26 years old, was one of the top prizes in this year's crop of free agents. Infielder Manny Machado agreed to a 10-year, $300 million deal with the San Diego Padres championship rings, and it was assumed Harper's total would exceed that contract. Not only did he do that, his total beats Giancarlo Stanton's 13-year, $325 million extension signed with the Miami Marlins championship rings.

The Phillies, Giants and the Dodgers were vying for Harper. The Dodgers were interested in signing him to a short-term deal. The San Francisco Chronicle, citing multiple sources, reported the Giants went as high as 12 years and $310 million with their offer.

Kapler, who said that Harper would likely hit third or fourth in the lineup, met with Harper during the offseason courtship.

Following news of Harper's decision, his odds to win the 2019 NL MVP award moved from 6-1 to 5-1 at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook.

Harper isn't the only upgrade to the roster for the Philadelphia Phillies championship rings for sale, who were 80-82 to finish third in the NL East last season. They traded for catcher J.T. Realmuto and infielder Jean Segura and signed outfielder Andrew McCutchen and reliever David Robertson.

Harper is a six-time All-Star and was the NL championship rings Rookie of the Year in 2012 who spent his first seven seasons with the Nationals. He is a patient hitter, known for hitting a lot of homers and drawing a lot of walks, and has a .279 average with 184 homers, 521 RBIs and a .388 on-base percentage over his career.

Harper hit .249 with 34 home runs and 100 RBIs for Washington last season. He struggled for much of the first half but won the Home Run Derby during All-Star festivities at Nationals Park and hit .300 with 11 home runs, 46 RBIs and 46 runs scored in 223 at-bats after the break. He led the NL custom championship rings in walks with 130 and ranked fifth in on-base percentage (.393).

He is going to a ballpark that fits him well. Harper has 14 career home runs at Citizens Bank Park, the most round-trippers at any road ballpark in his career. His .564 career slugging percentage at the park ranks first among 71 players with at least 200 plate appearances there. Rhys Hoskins, who will likely hit directly behind Harper in the batting order, ranks second on that list (.562).

One of the main topics of discussion for the Nationals -- and all of Major League Baseball mlb world series championship rings -- going into the offseason was whether the team would be able to sign Harper to a long-term deal. According to reports, he turned down a 10-year, $300 million offer from the Nats.

He went into free agency after turning down the Nationals' qualifying offer for $17.9 million. Because the Nationals are over the luxury tax, they would get a supplementary pick after the fourth round in compensation for Harper.

Harper led the major leagues in 2015 with 42 homers and hit .330 with 99 RBIs. He slumped to a .243 average with 24 homers and 86 RBIs in 2016 then rebounded to hit .319 with 29 homers and 87 RBIs in just 111 games in 2017.

If the Montreal Canadiens championship rings don't make the postseason, they can blame the lowly New Jersey Devils.

Three games. Three losses. And only one point for a team fighting for its playoff life.

Monday night's 2-1 defeat might have been one of the low points all season for Montreal. With the Canadiens needing a win to improve their hold on the top wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, last-place New Jersey beat them with a lineup that included seven players who spent the majority of the season with the custom New Jersey Devils championship rings top minor league affiliate.

"We just didn't start on time," Montreal coach Claude Julien said. "We didn't play well enough to win a hockey game. This time of year you have to play 60 minutes and we didn't do that."

The Devils did.

Nathan Bastian scored his first NHL stanley cup rings goal and Kurtis Gabriel got his second. Recently acquired defenseman Connor Carrick set up both goals and Cory Schneider made 34 saves to cap the Devils' best season series against Montreal since going 3-1-0 in 2011-12.

The Canadiens still hold a one-point lead over Carolina and Pittsburgh for the first wild card in the East, but the Hurricanes and Penguins now each have a game in hand.

"Every single game from here on out will be absolutely huge," Montreal center Max Domi said. "We've got to find ways to win as many games as possible. We're going to try and win every game, obviously. We're going to leave it all out there."

Paul Byron scored a short-handed goal for Montreal, and Carey Price made 20 saves.

Trailing 2-0 and with the cheap New Jersey Devils championship rings on a power play, the Canadiens got back into the game on a great individual effort by Byron, who recently returned to the lineup after missing six games with an arm injury.

Byron picked up a loose puck near his own blue line, outskated defenseman Damon Severson into the Devils zone and beat Schneider with a shot to the top corner at 6:30 of the third period.

Montreal Canadiens championship rings for sale threatened in the final 13 minutes but Schneider made excellent saves on Domi and Brendan Gallagher on a power play in the last 10 minutes. Schneider's best save might have been a stop on a short-handed breakaway by Artturi Lehkonen in the first period.

Bastian, recalled from the minors Sunday, tipped Carrick's shot under Price's pads at 12:35 of the first period. He made his NHL debut on Jan. 19 and this was his second game.

Gabriel, who scored his first NHL goal against Ottawa last week, got his second by tipping a shot from the point by Carrick at 3:06 of the second period and putting in the rebound championship sports rings.

"That's the kind of goal you feel good getting to the net and rewarded for your hard work on it," Gabriel said. "That's why you saw the exuberance and celebration. The first one I didn't see go in. To be able to contribute and get a game-winning goal in a big game against that team, it's great."

The Pittsburgh Penguins championship rings seem to be getting their act together for a playoff push and one clear sign of that is finally finding a way to beat the New Jersey Devils.

Bryan Rust scored a tiebreaking goal midway through the second period and the Penguins avoided the embarrassment of being swept by the lowly Devils with a 4-3 victory on Tuesday night.

Coupled with Montreal's win over Columbus, the cheap Pittsburgh Penguins championship rings moved into third place in the Metropolitan Division. They have now won four of the last five games in their bid to make the playoffs for the 13th straight year. The streak is the longest active playoff run in the NHL.

Penguins coach Steve Sullivan said his team was really good in the second period when it scored twice to take a 4-2 lead.

"I think at this time of the year guys are playing so hard that the games are so tight," he said. "We need everybody to have the juice. We need to play the game the way we want to play it. so I thought our second period was really strong, but thought the guys played hard all night."

Matt Murray made 33 saves, including 15 in the third period, to help the Penguins salvage the final game in the four-game season series.

"New Jersey Devils championship rings for sale always plays us really well," Ruhwedel said. "They come out hard but that second period was really good by us. We were in the offensive zone a lot. Guys were moving their feet. It was fun to be part of."

Jesper Bratt, Marcus Johansson and Miles Wood scored for the Devils, who had a two-game winning streak snapped. Keith Kinkaid had 24 saves in losing to the Penguins for the first time in four games this season.

Rust broke a 2-all tie at 10:45 with a shot from the inside of the right circle after a great rush up the ice by Jake Guentzel. Kinkaid got a piece of the shot but the puck squirted through his pads and rolled into the net stanley cup rings.

Ruhwedel, who just returned to the lineup after sitting out since Nov. 19, got his first of the season and what proved to be the game-winner on a shot from the point that found the top corner of the net with 2 1/2 minutes to go in the second.

Wood closed the gap to a goal with 4:50 to play on a slow shot that somehow got under Murray's stick championship sports rings.

The Devils twice took one-goal leads in the first period only to see the Penguins tie the game.

Bratt scored for the second straight game to put custom New Jersey Devils championship rings ahead early. Crosby extended his points scoring streak to six games by setting up Aston-Reese in front four minutes later to tie the score.

Johansson restored the lead when he stripped the puck from Phil Kessel in the Penguins zone and beat Murray with a backhander up high. Bjugstad scored on a power play with 1:36 left in the period for his second goal since being acquired from Florida on Feb. 1.

Houston guard DeJon Jarreau believes he's gotten his basketball career back on track and expects to be a factor as the Houston Cougars championship rings make a run at a conference title and perhaps something bigger.

The sophomore transfer from Massachusetts had 18 points and seven assists to help No. 9 Houston beat UConn 71-63 on Thursday night for its ninth straight victory.

Armoni Brooks added 12 points for the Cougars (24-1, 11-1 American Athletic Conference). They opened the second half with a 17-4 run to take control.

Jarraeu had to sit out last season as a transfer and to get his academics in order at a junior college. He missed seven games early this season after the deaths of his grandmother and a cousin, a finger injury and a disciplinary issue.

He followed a 16-point game against Cincinnati on Sunday by hitting six of his 10 shots against the Huskies University/College Rings championship rings for sale.

"Missing a lot of time last year and at the beginning of the season really messed me up," he said. "But everybody kept encouraging me, telling me to keep my head up. Just add me as another playmaker alongside all of our guards and I think we can make a deep run,"

Christian Vital had 15 points for UConn (13-12, 4-8). The Huskies have lost three straight since a knee injury took out scoring leader Jalen Adams cheap championship rings.

Houston led 32-29 after 20 minutes. It was 49-33 after a 3-pointer from Brooks capped the Cougars big run, and Jarreau's driving layup gave Houston a 17-point lead with just over 7 1/2 minutes to go.

"We just weren't ready for the way they were going to bring it, both ends of the court there," UConn Huskies championship ringscoach Dan Hurley said.

UConn cut it to 61-55 after a 3-pointer by Sidney Wilson and a free throw from Christian Vital.

But another driving layup by Jarreau, followed by a steal and two foul shots from Cedrick Alley Jr. brought the lead back to double digits.

"Probably our most talented kid is Jarreau," Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said. "He's still not there yet. I see him in practice every day do some things that he hasn't quite let himself do in games."

The Huskies failed to capitalize on 21 Houston fouls, going 14 of 25 from the line custom University/College Rings championship rings.

UConn had a chance on a fast-break to cut the Houston lead to six points after Wilson's 3-pointer with just under three minutes to play, but the referee Gerry Pollard blew the play dead, believing Houston had committed a shot-clock violation, even though there was still one second showing on that clock.

"That's a terrible rule though," Sampson said. "Even if it was zero on the clock and the horn went off, they should just continue to play. Because that's a penalty to the offensive team.

The euphoria of reaching the Elite Eight for the first time in 33 years had already worn off and Auburn Tigers championship rings coach Bruce Pearl was left to arrange his bravest smile on his face.

His trigger-happy Tigers were moving on in the NCAA championship rings Tournament. They were doing it without their most versatile player.

Behind yet another 3-point barrage, No. 5 seed Auburn overcame a slow start to roar past top-seeded North Carolina 97-80 in the Midwest Region semifinals Friday night. But the victory came only after sophomore forward Chuma Okeke, who already had scored a game-high 20 points and pulled down 11 rebounds, sustained a gruesome injury to his left knee in the closing minutes of the game.

Yet he didn't do it alone. And that should give the custom Auburn Tigers championship rings (29-9), who matched the 1998-99 team for most wins in school history, some confidence as they aim for their first Final Four.

Malik Dunbar finished with 13 points, Bryce Brown and Danjel Purifoy scored 12 apiece, and Jared Harper scored nine while dishing out 11 assists in Auburn's latest takedown of college hoops royalty.

It was Kansas last week. It was North Carolina on Friday night. It could be Kentucky next, after the Wildcats survived Houston's comeback bid for a 62-58 victory in the second semifinal.

That trio represents the three winningest programs in Division I history. The custom North Carolina Tar Heels championship rings own title aspirations may have been brought down by the flu bug.

Leading scorer Cameron Johnson spiked a fever Thursday night, and he wound up going 4 of 11 from the floor and scoring 15 points. Top bench player Nassir Little didn't practice all week with the same symptoms, and he wound up scoring four points in just 12 minutes.

Auburn-Carolina was the track meet everyone anticipated from the opening tip, the only difference that the Tar Heels preferred to go to the basket while the Tigers kept pulling up for 3s championship rings.

Yet they managed to track down all the long boards, allowing Pearl's team to hang tough on the glass against the team with the nation's No. 1 rebounding differential. That in turn gave them second and third chances down floor, and allowed Auburn to take a 41-39 lead into the break.

The Tigers' run eventually reached 14-0 spanning halftime, giving them the first double-digit lead of the game. Williams finally relented and called timeout, and the genteel North Carolina Tar Heels championship rings coach with the aw-shucks disposition spent most of it savagely ripping into his bench.

The Tar Heels responded, at least for a while. But even when Maye and Johnson managed to trim their deficit to 60-54 with 13 minutes left, and a building solidly packed with Carolina blue began to stir, a brazen bunch of Tigers answered by rejecting a pair of dunks and knocking down a 3.

The Tigers' momentum finally slowed when Okeke's left knee buckled on the way to the basket. The sophomore forward crumpled to the floor along the baseline, rolling around in agony and disappointment, and it eventually took two trainers to help him limp to the locker room.

Then the Tigers gave him something good to watch in the locker room.

Brown knocked down one more 3 to give the Tigers an 88-72 lead with 2:12 left, then took a steal for an emphatic breakaway dunk that the left the backboard shaking, and a single section sporting orange opposite the Auburn bench joined the celebration with a team headed back to the Elite Eight.
