Houston Astros reliever Héctor Neris used a balk to advance a runner to third, then had an exchange with Red Sox third base coach Kyle Hudson that led to a dustup between the teams.

Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore is expected be suspended for two games early in the 2025 season as part of self-imposed sanctions in the wake of the sign-stealing scandal that marred the Wolverines' run to the national championship in the 2023 season. A source close to the situation confirmed the planned sanctions, but told The Detroit News it has not been "finalized." The source spoke to The News anonymously because the university hasn't made an official announcement. ESPN first reported on the sanctions Monday morning. Moore is expected to miss Week 3 and 4 games against Central Michigan and at Nebraska. Moore, 39, was Michigan's offensive coordinator in 2023, when the scope of low-rung staffer Connor Stalions' alleged sign-stealing scheme came to light. Stalions was alleged to have sent a network of people to stadiums across the country to record future opponents' sidelines from the stands. The Big Ten suspended then-head coach Jim Harbaugh for the final three games of the 2023 regular season, when Moore filled in as interim head coach, including for wins over Penn State and Ohio State. The NCAA has been investigating the Stalions' scandal since. Stalions resigned in November 2023. Harbaugh left Michigan after the 2023 season to become head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers, and athletic director Warde Manuel promoted Moore to the head coach's seat. This is the second time in three years that Michigan has self-imposed sanctions amid an NCAA investigation. Harbaugh was suspended for the first three games of the 2023 regular season for alleged recruiting violations, and alleged lying to NCAA investigators about them. The NCAA accepted Michigan's self-imposed sanctions in 2023; it remains to be seen if it will in 2025. The NCAA Committee on Infractions has levied penalties against two former Michigan assistant coaches in separate resolutions. Last week, former defensive coordinator Jesse Minter was given one-year show cause and former defensive backs coach Steve Clinkscale was given a two-year show cause. Both are now coaches under Harbaugh with the Chargers.  The recruiting violations by Minter and Clinkscale were part of the NCAA’s Notice of Allegations delivered to Michigan regarding its investigation into a sign-stealing scheme. There has been no resolution to the larger portion of the NCAA’s investigation and Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said that could come in late summer. tpaul@detroitnews.com @tonypaul1984 Want to comment on this story?
