The Starting Lineup

Three must-see events this week:

1. PGA Wyndham Championship, final round (1-4 p.m. Sunday, CBS) — It’s the last chance for players to move up in the FedEx Cup standings and slide into the PGA Tour’s playoffs.

2. Blue Jays at Rockies (6:40 p.m. Monday, Rockies.TV) — The AL East-leading Blue Jays visiting Coors Field is a rarity. Rockies icon Dante Bichette’s son, Bo, leads Toronto with 63 RBI and a crisp .293 average.

3. Broncos at 49ers (6:30 p.m. Saturday, 9News) — Denver opens the preseason with more expectations than it has had in years. How much will Sean Payton play his starters?

Numbers game

2 — trade requests from high-profile NFL players in the last two days. First, Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin asked for a trade. Then, Cowboys star Micah Parsons. Trade requests are becoming increasingly common in the NFL.

Box office

Blue Jays at Rockies, 1:10 p.m Wednesday — Colorado native Kevin Gausman is scheduled to pitch for the Blue Jays against his hometown team. Plenty of tickets are available at Ticketmaster.

On this day

Aug. 3, 2020 — Nolan Arenado hit his first home run of the season in a win over the Giants at Coors Field and the Rockies led the NL West with a 7-2 record during a 60-game season. Colorado finished the campaign in fourth place and 17 games behind the Dodgers.

“He’s excited and the players are genuinely excited for him. It’s good for the Broncos.”
