Sabres' top draft pick goes on the shelf...Yankees with back-to-back extra-inning wins...and an American teenager makes it to the second week of Wimbledon. More details from Greg Larson on today's Saturday Sports Update...
Saturday Sports Update
Top: The NHL may be in its offseason, but the Buffalo Sabres had some significant news on Friday. Dylan Cozens (left), who was drafted 7th overall by the team in June, will be out for up to three months after undergoing surgery on his left thumb; Cozens suffered the injury during the Sabres' development camp last weekend. Meanwhile, the Sabres re-signed forward Zemgus Girgensons (right) to a one-year deal. Photos by the Buffalo Sabres
Bottom left: The New York Yankees have been finding ways to beat the Tampa Bay Rays in their four-game weekend series so far. On Friday, Aaron Judge hit two home runs, including a go-ahead solo shot in the top of the 11th, in an 8-4 victory at Tropicana Field. Photo by USA Today
Bottom right: The first week at Wimbledon has produced a big surprise. Cori Gauff, a 15-year-old American, has successfully made in through to the second week of action at the All-England Club. Gauff began the tournament with a win over Venus Williams, and on Friday, she continued her unlikely path with a 3-6, 7-6, 7-5 win over Polona Hercog. Photo by Sky Sports
