Steven Matz returned to the Mets on Sunday — and to the Mets’ bullpen. He’ll be joined there by Michael Wacha, who’s being skipped at least one start thanks to Monday’s off day. Manager Luis Rojas announced prior to the series finale against the Blue Jays in Buffalo that Rick Porcello would start Tuesday against …

The Jets and Bills opted out of taking a stand – or a knee – during the national anthem, choosing to stay inside. But the NFL’s reigning MVP had no such qualms. From Colin Kaepernick on, the NFL has been among the leagues most resistant to social media messaging. That’s why it was so noteworthy …

He was selected near the top of the NFL draft and thrust into a floundering franchise in New York.
