COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) –
The Colorado Springs Switchbacks played their first 2024 regular season match at Weidner Field but fell short with a final score of 1-2. Colorado Springs falls to 0-2 on the year.
Former Switchbacks, now Detroit FC player, Elvis Amoh Takyi, scored the first goal of the night for Detroit in the 11′. Battling through the cold, the boys kept applying the pressure throughout the first half by creating five shots and carrying 54.6% possession.
Going into the second half, the Switchbacks brought the heat with a goal in the 47′. Switchbacks captain, #5 Matt Mahoney tipped the ball right over the line thanks to a clean pass from #99 Maalique Foster.
In the 60′, Koa Santos receives a second yellow card of the night, resulting in a red card. With the Switchbacks playing down to 10 men, they knew it would be a tough battle to win. Unfortunately in the 89′, #11 Connor Rutz scored a goal for Detroit City FC, leaving the final score of 1-2.
The Switchbacks will head to San Antonio FC next Saturday.

Detroit Tigers Place Young Star Outfielder on Injured List

The Detroit Tigers have been one of the most talked about teams in baseball over the last couple of weeks.
While they have started to play better on the field, the majority of attention is on who they might be shipping out ahead of the 2024 MLB trade deadline next week.
While those rumors have been swirling aggressively, there is another piece of major news to report about the franchise.
Unfortunately, the Tigers have had to make a move to place their young star outfielder Riley Greene on the injured list heading into the weekend with a strained right hamstring. There has been no expected timetable given to for his potential return to the field.
In a corresponding move, Detroit has decided to recall utilityman Ryan Vilade from Triple-A affiliate Toledo.
So far during the 2024 season, Greene has been a massive bright spot for the Tigers. He has played in 101 games, batting .264/.357/.485 to go along with 17 home runs and 51 RBI. That production will be missed.
Hopefully, this isn’t an injury that will last long-term. Detroit needs their young rising star back on the field. He is quickly turning into the centerpiece of the lineup for the future.
All of that being said, the Tigers will now turn their attention to the moves they’re going to make ahead of the deadline. Names like Jack Flaherty, Mark Canha, and even Tarik Skubal are making their rounds through the rumors.
Only time will tell what they choose to do at the deadline, but for now they’re simply hoping for a quick recovery and return to the diamond from Greene.

Detroit Lions kicker to miss season after ‘severe injury’ prepping for practice
![Detroit Lions kicker to miss season after ‘severe injury’ prepping for practice Detroit Lions kicker to miss season after ‘severe injury’ prepping for practice](https://res.cloudinary.com/graham-media-group/image/upload/f_auto/q_auto/c_thumb,w_700/v1/media/gmg/LSMXZQVWH5ARBOQ64ULKNGOVJY.jpg?_a=DATAdtfiZAA0)
DETROIT – The Detroit Lions’ primary kicker will miss the entire season after suffering a “severe injury” while preparing for practice.
The announcement was made by the team’s reporter, Tim Twentyman. He said Michael Badgley was getting ready for practice on Thursday when he suffered the injury.
Ian Rapoport, of NFL Network, reports the injury is a torn hamstring.
Badgley will be placed on injured reserve and miss the season, Twentyman revealed.
In a follow-up post, Twentyman said the Lions plan to bring in another kicker to compete with UFL phenom Jake Bates for the starting job.
Bates earned a deal with the Lions this offseason when he made a series of long kicks at Ford Field for the Michigan Panthers, a United Football League team.
Twentyman said Bates has looked good in practice so far — training camp began on Wednesday — so the team isn’t in a hurry to make a decision on the other kicker.
Field goal kicking hasn’t been a strength for the Lions the last few seasons since they decided not to bring back Matt Prater. Badgley was a solid option, but now the role will fall to Bates or someone else.
