Former LSU Baseball outfielder Chris Stanfield recorded a record-breaking performance in the MLB Draft League on Friday. Playing for the Williamsport Crosscutters, he set the league record for stolen bases with 37. He swiped two bags in a 12-1 win over the West Virginia Black Bears.

Stanfield went two for five in the victory with two RBIs. He started in left field and batted sixth. To open the second inning, Stanfield reached on a bunt single then advanced to second on a throwing error. He stole home for the first run of the game during a rundown between first and second. Three innings later, Stanfield batted in two runs on a single to center field. He broke the record by stealing second base.

After finishing up his college baseball career in Baton Rouge, Stanfield made his way to the draft league after not singing with an MLB team. Through 52 games with the Crosscutters, he is batting .321 with a .430 on-base percentage, 62 hits, 46 runs and 26 RBI.

Stanfield opened his college career with two years at Auburn before transferring to LSU. 2025 was his best season as part of the national championship team. As the Tigers' starting center fielder, Stanfield hit .298 with a .818 OPS, 62 hits, 53 runs and 31 RBI.

Matches can change on fine moments.

Portsmouth had made a sloppy start at Lincoln City and five minutes in, Ben House was through on goal.

A weak effort was saved by Nico Schmid. Pompey took the lead soon after and never looked back.

This wasn't a perfect defensive display, but a big improvement on the past two weeks.

Lincoln love to get balls into a crowded penalty area and Pompey largely stood up to the challenge.

The Imps will find set-piece goals are much harder to come by in the Championship compared to League One.

It was also a better attacking performance.

Abu Kamara assisted one goal and won the free-kick for the other. Ryan Kavuma-McQueen got a goal and looked threatening. As did Adrian Segecic.

The midfield looked much more balanced with Marlon Pack in. He was excellent. Ebou Adams had a very positive impact off the bench.

The only downside was Josh Murphy lasting less than 20 minutes before going off injured. His fitness concerns continue.

The season is now up and running, though, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief.

Rayan Cherki came on and provided two assists in Man City's comeback win over Bournemouth

Enzo Maresca's Manchester City came from behind late on to win his first Premier League game in charge. It was also Marco Rose's managerial debut for Bournemouth.

Below is how I rated the players, and then how you rated the players.

What do BBC Sport's player ratings mean?

Manchester City

Gianluigi Donnarumma: Could do nothing about Bournemouth's opener but made superb saves to deny Justin Kluivert's low effort and Daniel Jebbison's flicked header. 6

Rico Lewis: Inverting into midfield from right-back, Lewis got forward and had an early effort saved but lacked quality overall before being taken off. 5

Abdukodir Khusanov: Missed a challenge on Rayan in the lead-up to Bournemouth's first goal and could not recover to stop the effort. 5

Ruben Dias: The new captain was culpable when conceding the opener too, failing to get his head on a long ball over the top. 5

Josko Gvardiol: Better at left-back or in the centre? Whatever the case, the Croatian was nowhere to be seen for Bournemouth's goal before popping up to score a cool injury time winner. 7

Marc Guehi: The England defender played in an unfamiliar holding midfield role but managed to score a late equaliser. With Ayyoub Bouaddi incoming, this experiment might only last one game. 6

Elliot Anderson: Club record signing Anderson showed glimpses of what he will bring to his new side, covering plenty of ground and often snuffing out the danger. 6

Antoine Semenyo: Looked bright in pre-season but unable to exert his influence on this game. 5

Nico O'Reilly: Deployed in the number 10 role, the England international created few opportunities of note and was taken off on the hour mark. 5

Phil Foden: Bright in the early stages, seeing plenty of the ball and playing a delightful flick for Lewis' chance but faded away. 5

Erling Haaland: Sporting a fresh new trim, the Norway striker somehow missed a sitter from a couple of yards out in the first half, while blazing over and scuffing another wide in the second. Has he lost his superpowers after chopping off his blonde locks? 5

Subs:

Matheus Nunes (on 56, Lewis): Nothing noteworthy. 5

Rayan Cherki (on 62, O'Reilly): Came on and changed the game for City. Provided two assists and will now be hoping to start on Friday at Crystal Palace. 8

Mateo Kovacic (on 62, Anderson): Should he have started in midfield instead of Guehi? 5

Jack Grealish (on 82, Foden): 5

Subs not used: Rulli, Marmoush, Gonzalez, Ait-Nouri, Reis.

Bournemouth

Djordje Petrovic: A diving save at full stretch denied both Haaland and Semenyo but beaten late on by Guehi and Gvardiol. 6

Adam Smith: The skipper kept Semenyo under lock and key throughout the game. 6

Antonio Silva: The Portuguese debutant looked comfortable as a ball-playing centre-half and showed he can mix it with the rough stuff against Haaland. Looks like being another shrewd signing but was yellow-carded for dissent. 7

James Hill: Continued his excellent form from last season by putting in a solid performance in the heart of the Bournemouth defence. 6

Adrien Truffert: Covered his centre-backs well to deny Haaland in the first half. 6

Alex Scott: A star in the making. The midfielder showcased why he has been linked with a move to City, displaying sublime composure on the ball throughout. 8

Lewis Cook: Nothing flashy, just a hardworking cog in Bournemouth's well-oiled machine. A real team player. 7

Marcus Tavernier: Coolly converted the opener at the back post to stun the home supporters and narrowly curled wide before half-time. 8

Justin Kluivert: Bournemouth's pacy frontline caused City issues and Kluivert was another menace. Unlucky not to score. 6

Rayan: Full of running and played a major part in the goal. Forced Donnarumma into a good save at his near post. 7

Evanilson: Picked out Tavernier perfectly with his low cross but was booked too. 6

Subs:

Tyler Adams (on 75, Cook):5

Daniel Jebbison (on 75, Evanilson): Forced Donnarumma into a good save after coming on. 6

Alex Toth (on 75, Kluivert): 5

Ben Gannon-Doak (on 89, Rayan): 5

Subs not used: Dennis, Brooks, Diakite, Sanchez, Rodriguez.

- Chris Hansen alleged that A24, the studio behind *Primetime*, “wanted me to sign away my rights to my name, image, and brand” along with any “potential legal rights that would come out of the movie.”

- The movie stars Robert Pattinson as the veteran journalist during his years hosting *To Catch a Predator*.

- *Primetime *hits theaters on Sept. 25.

Chris Hansen made a surprising claim about why he wouldn’t watch an early screening of *Primetime**.*

The upcoming A24 film starring Robert Pattinson as Hansen and directed by Lance Oppenheim depicts the veteran journalist during his run on the 2000s program *To Catch a Predator*. Earlier this week, Hansen said he was going to see the movie at a private screening. However, on Thursday’s episode of Fox News’ *Jesse Watters Primetime*, Hansen shared that he did not see the film that morning, and revealed why.

“The lawyers at A24 wanted me to sign away my rights to my name, image, and brand, essentially, as well as any potential legal rights that would come out of the movie,” Hansen claimed on the show. A source disputes his account.

The *Dateline** *journalist added, “I couldn’t sign that, so they didn’t show me the film. I went all the way over there. … But who’s going to sign something like that?”

Hansen claimed it was a “very restrictive agreement,” adding that he “had never seen anything quite like it.” He also noted that his “lawyers had already seen” the NDA before he went to the screening at A24’s office.

Asked what A24 would be worried about, Hansen said, “I don’t know.”

“If you look at the trailer, obviously it’s a very dramatized version. They had told me that it’s fictionalized in many aspects. I know other people have seen it who didn’t sign an NDA, and yet they wanted me to sign it,” concluded Hansen.

'To Catch a Predator' decoy wanted to warn would-be pedophiles about hidden cameras: 'Go home'

Chris Hansen in 'To Catch a Predator'

A source told ** that Hansen was asked to sign an NDA a week in advance that all preview audiences are required to sign ahead of screening an unreleased film. These standard NDAs are mostly to prevent spoilers and protect the studio’s IP.

Because Hansen didn’t sign the release form, he could not see the film, per the source.

*To Catch a Predator*, which is dramatized in the upcoming thriller film, started out as a *Dateline *sting segment and ran as a wildly popular program from 2003 to 2007 on NBC.

The series was controversial for how it captured alleged pedophiles, using a hidden camera and adults posing as teenagers online to lure the suspected predators into a sting house, where they would be captured on the spot. It blurred the line between entertainment and reporting the news, raising questions over the program’s ethics.

Hansen previously told Annie Elise on the *Serialously* podcast that he was familiar with Pattinson and Oppenheim, but questioned *Primetime*’s motives. “I know that he’s a very popular actor. I know that the director is a popular guy,” he said. “But I also have some questions: what’s Hollywood’s motive here? We don’t know, but I’ll find out, and I promise I’ll let you know.”

Besides Pattinson, *Primetime* stars Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, Matthew Maher, Anna Faris, Phoebe Bridgers, Alex Winter, Creed Bratton, and Bokeem Woodbine.

*Primetime *will make its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival before hitting theaters on Sept. 25.

- Matt Damon and his daughters visited Disneyland in matching shirts.

- The family celebrated daughter Gia’s 18th birthday at the California resort.

- Damon’s visit came days after Disney unveiled major theme park news at the bi-annual D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.

Matt Damon and his scene-stealing daughters hit Disneyland in matching style to honor a big day for their family.

The *Odyssey* star posed for photos Thursday at the Anaheim, Calif. resort’s Disneyland park, where he and his four daughters wore matching shirts to celebrate daughter Gia’s 18th birthday.

The Oscar-winning *Good Will Hunting *screenwriter, 50, and wife Luciana Barroso, also 50, posed in front of a giant Mickey Mouse-shaped pumpkin just inside the gates at Disneyland’s Main Street, U.S.A., while the family wore shirts that read “Birthday Crew” on the front.

In addition to Gia, Damon and Barroso share 20-year-old daughter Isabella, a newly signed IMG model, as well as Stella, 15. Damon is also stepfather to Alexia, Barroso’s 27-year-old daughter from a prior relationship.

Per a Disneyland representative, Damon and his family wanted “to begin the spooky season a little early” as the park kicked off its Halloween Time seasonal event.

“To start the day, Matt and his family stopped for a photo in front of the iconic giant Mickey Mouse pumpkin on Main Street, U.S.A.,” the rep’s release reads, before adding that the family continued “their fun-filled day celebrating his daughter’s birthday” elsewhere at the famed park.

Damon’s visit to Disneyland with his daughters came after his family also stole the show at various red carpet events around the world, particularly ahead of the release of *The Odyssey* — for which Damon has courted major Oscar buzz.

The family made headlines for their appearance at the film’s South Korean premiere, where Damon told reporters he was happy to bring his daughters along for the press tour.

“This time I was able to bring my wife and my two youngest daughters, and to be able to see this town with them and to meet people with them, and expose them to Korea for the first time has been incredibly memorable,” the actor said.

He added in an *Entertainment Tonight** *interview that his family is “having fun while I’m working, but I’m so happy they’re here. ... Everybody’s so grown-up. Like, I got a real dad teary moment seeing them today.”

Damon’s family visited Disneyland days after Disney’s bi-annual D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event wrapped up a weekend filled with news and announcements about the company’s initiatives across its entertainment and theme parks divisions.

At D23, the company confirmed *Frozen 3*’s long-gestating storyline while revealing new footage of Anna (Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel) encountering a menacing new villainess who threatens the kingdom of Arendelle. Disney further unveiled an official first look at stars Milo Manheim, Teagan Croft, and Kathryn Hahn as Flynn Rider, Rapunzel, and Mother Gothel, respectively, in the live-action *Tangled* movie.

Disney also announced plans for its parks, including a revamp of Tomorrowland at Disneyland as well as new details on attractions based on *Monsters, Inc*., *Coco*, *Avatar*, and *Encanto*. Along with additional news regarding Harrison Ford’s return as Indiana Jones inside Animal Kingdom’s Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent ride, the company offered an in-depth look at a Maleficent roller coaster, and a Magic Mirror dark ride heading to the long-awaited Villains Land at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.

A laptop fire on American Airlines Flight 2398 reportedly injured several passengers during landing at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport

The airline confirmed that one passenger was treated for burns following the incident

Emergency personnel met the plane at the gate, quickly containing the device that caused the fire

An American Airlines passenger was treated for burn injuries after a laptop caught fire during landing.

While traveling from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Friday, Aug. 21, American Airlines Flight 2398 reported “smoke from a customer’s device” during landing at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), American Airlines confirmed in a statement to PEOPLE.

“American Airlines Flight 2398 landed safely at DFW after reports of smoke from a customer’s device during landing,” the airline said. “We thank our crew for their professionalism and swift response to quickly contain the device.”

One passenger received medical attention on site and was later released, according to the airline.

“After landing, the aircraft taxied to the gate under its own power. Per procedure, emergency personnel met the aircraft upon arrival to the gate,” American Airlines added to PEOPLE.

According to air traffic control audio obtained by CBS Texas, the pilot reported that a laptop had caught fire on the plane, injuring four to five passengers. Around 133 people were on the aircraft at the time.

“I think we have about four to five passengers that were burned by the laptop,” the pilot can be heard saying, per CBS Texas. “The laptop is contained about mid-aircraft. “Once we taxi clear, I guess the best plan to follow is to the gate or any way you guys can board?”

The pilot said that the injured passengers’ hands were burned in the incident.

A representative from DFW confirmed to PEOPLE that the passenger was released following treatment.

Lithium batteries are found in laptop and cell phone batteries, cell phone battery charging cases and portable chargers.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recorded 58 lithium battery incidents causing smoke or fire on passenger planes this year as of August 2026.

“All lithium-ion batteries are capable of overheating and undergoing a process called thermal runaway,” the FAA states on its website. “Thermal runaway can occur without warning as a result of various factors, including if the battery is damaged, overheated, exposed to water, overcharged, or improperly packed. Thermal runaway can also occur on its own due to manufacturing defects.”

The FAA did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
