ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Ben Rortvedt saw the writing on the wall toward the end of spring training that his time would soon be up with the Yankees. As long as Jose Trevino and Austin Wells stayed healthy, they were going to be the catchers the Yankees brought north, and with Rortvedt out of minor league options, he expected to be moved. But Rortvedt has taken his new opportunity and run with it, at least in the early going. After being traded to the Rays as part of a three-way deal that landed the Yankees Jon Berti on the eve…

The Mets are not categorizing Kodai Senga’s situation as a setback, but the rehabbing ace’s progress appears to have been paused. Senga built up to facing hitters in a live batting-practice setting, first on April 29 and again last Sunday, which often is the last step before a pitcher begins a rehab assignment. A third live BP or a stint in the minor leagues is not yet scheduled, though, manager Carlos Mendoza said, because Senga is still working through mechanical issues. Senga threw a bullpen session Friday and was set to play catch Saturday, after which Mendoza said the Mets…

One of the broadcast voices you’ll hear describing the action at the PGA Championship this week at Valhalla will be a familiar one.  It will be an informed voice, a respected voice, a comfortable voice.  Dottie Pepper’s voice from inside the ropes at PGA Tour events has become almost as much a fabric of CBS golf telecasts as Jim Nantz’s presence, and that’s the best compliment you can hand her. Her voice blends into the broadcast beautifully and is authoritative as it is empathetic.  Pepper — a 17-time winner, including two majors, on the LPGA Tour — has flourished in…

Everyone goes through an awkward phase, even megawatt movie stars like Chris Pine. Pine, 43, was dropped right back into one of the hardest and most uncomfortable periods of his life during the Thursday, May 9 episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast. Host Josh Horowitz asked the Poolman actor to recount his bombed audition for Fox’s The O.C., which aired from 2003 to 2007. While Pine would go on to prove he has leading man chops, his acting wasn’t what got him eliminated from the casting call — it was his “awful skin.” “I was going out for The…
