Unsurprisingly, two big men who could be rivals for a decade headline the 2024 All-Rookie Teams. San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama and Oklahoma City's Chet Holmgren were the top two vote-getters for Rookie of the Year. It's no shock that they are also the only two unanimous First Team choices on the NBA's All-Rookie Teams. Here’s the full list based on a vote by select media members:

Rafael Devers made history for the Red Sox on Monday night at Tropicana Field. He became the first player in franchise history to hit a home run in six consecutive games. This milestone homer came in the fourth inning when Devers launched a Taj Bradley fastball over the left-field wall.

The Milwaukee Brewers kick off a three-game series against the Miami Marlins at loanDepot Park on Monday night, continuing their nine-game, 10-day road trip. After dropping two out of three games in Houston over the weekend, the Brewers are looking to bounce back strong.

Exciting Roster Moves! Milwaukee made several roster changes before the game. The biggest highlight is the recall of right-hander Bradley Blalock from Class AA Biloxi. Blalock is set to make his major-league debut, becoming the 40th player to take the field for the Brewers this season. To make room for him, right-hander Thyago Vieira was designated for assignment. Additionally, outfielder Joey Wiemer was reinstated from the 10-day injured list, while outfielder Chris Roller was optioned to Class AAA Nashville.

Joe Ross Leaves Early Joe Ross started on the mound for Milwaukee but had to leave the game after just one inning due to a low-back strain. He threw only 15 pitches, navigating around a one-out walk and a single by inducing a double play to end the inning. Left-hander Jared Koenig took over from there.

Heads-Up Play by Yelich A standout moment came in the sixth inning with Christian Yelich's smart base running. After drawing a walk and stealing second, Yelich advanced to third on a throwing error by Marlins catcher Nick Fortes. With Joey Ortiz at the plate, Yelich seized an opportunity, racing home and scoring on a casual throw back to the pitcher, making it 2-0 with his second stolen base of the inning. What a veteran move by Yelich!

Brewers' First Baserunners Milwaukee struggled early on against Marlins' left-hander Ryan Weathers. Joey Ortiz became the Brewers' first baserunner when he was hit by a pitch in the fourth inning. In the fifth, Andruw Monasterio broke up a budding no-hitter with a home run to straightaway center field, just out of Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s reach. Owen Miller followed with a double off Chisholm’s glove but was left stranded.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, along with several other officials, tragically lost their lives on Monday in a helicopter crash in the country's northwest, as reported by state media.

Following the crash, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei appointed Mohammad Mokhber, the first vice president, as the acting president until new elections are held.

At the Cannes Film Festival, Kevin Costner had a moment that got him all choked up. The crowd at the Grand Lumiere Theatre gave him a long, thunderous standing ovation during the world premiere of his latest project, "Horizon: An American Saga." Costner, who's not just acting but also producing and directing this Western epic, couldn't hold back his tears as the audience cheered and chanted his name.

Detroit Tigers rookie Wenceel Pérez has been turning heads with his impressive performance this season. The 24-year-old switch-hitter, signed out of the Dominican Republic in July 2016, has solidified his spot in the Tigers' lineup and shows no signs of slowing down. Pérez boasts a .301 batting average with four doubles, four triples, three home runs, 12 walks, and 24 strikeouts in just 29 games. His contributions have been crucial, particularly on defense, where he makes routine plays in both center and right field look easy.

When Raheem Morris stepped in as the new head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, he didn't beat around the bush about the team's glaring weakness: the quarterback position.
