The Minnesota Lynx waived their 2024 first-round pick, Alissa Pili, on Saturday afternoon — the moving coming fewer than 500 days after she was drafted.

Minnesota will surely hope to emerge out of the gates better defensively on Monday. The Lynx surrendered 29 points in the first frame in Saturday’s nationally-televised bout, and 28 in the second as Chicago built a 13-point halftime advantage on the strength of 57% shooting.

Alissa Pili is no longer a member of the Minnesota Lynx. The 24-year-old was waived by the reigning WNBA runners-up right in the middle of a road trip.

Ryan Jeffers and Carlos Correa each had an RBI as the Minnesota Twins scored a pair of first-inning runs for the second straight game in a 4-2 win over the Chicago Cubs.

Two teams headed in opposite directions face off on Sunday when the red-hot Minnesota Lynx (16-2) face the struggling Chicago Sky (5-11).
