• FOR THE WEEK OF July 31 - AugusT 6, 2023 • yOuR WEEKly guIDE TO TV ENTERTAINMENT Zooey Deschanel in "Physical" With the Aug. 1 Major League Baseball trade deadline looming, every- one is keeping a close eye on which teams are making moves to fill glaring holes in their rosters. And while much has been said and written about the Toronto Blue Jays' good-but-not-great season so far, fans are looking to the team's best players to help deliver another win this Sunday, July 30, when the Jays wrap up a series against the Los Angeles Angels in a game airing live on Peacock. While the Jays' record this season may look similar to last, the team had a sluggish first half — and that did them no favors in a loaded AL East, where they sat in fourth place for much of June. No one expected them to be chas- ing the third wild card spot at the midway point, but the Jays' roster doesn't lack depth as the team looks to turn things around. Having been named to his third All-Star game, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. thrilled fans by winning this year's Home Run Derby in Seattle. While the midseason accolades gave them reason to celebrate, the 2023 campaign has been an uphill battle for the Montreal-born player. Known for his explosive hitting power, Guerrero Jr.'s slugging percentage took a hit this season, sit- ting at .443 at the midway point — his worst since 2019. Despite the struggles, there has been a glimmer of hope for Guerrero Jr. In his last 15 games before the All-Star break, he hit four home runs while batting .271, with an .881 on-base plus slugging (OPS) per- centage. If the Jays have any hope of making it into the post-season, they'll need Guerrero Jr. to step up and have a strong second half to keep their playoff hopes alive. Look for Guerrero Jr. to come out swinging when the Toronto Blue Jays take on the Los Angeles Angels at Rogers Centre, Sunday, July 30, when the game airs live on Peacock. Guerrero Jr. and the Jays look to move up in the AL East By Roberto Jozef playerprofile By Adam Thomlison Q: What has Coby Bell been doing lately? He seemed poised for real stardom after "Burn Notice." A: When the light-touch spy drama "Burn Notice" ended in 2013, Coby Bell (who played Jesse Porter, a late addition to the show's team of on-the-outs secret agents) went looking for his new TV home. After a few false starts, he seems to have found it in the modern-day Wild West. Bell is now part of the support- ing ensemble of CW's "Walk- er," the high-profile reboot of the CBS classic "Walker, Texas Ranger." He plays Larry James, Walker's former partner who's now a captain of the Texas Rangers. "Walker" has been renewed for a fourth season (premiere date to be announced), so it seems Bell will have a home in Texas for quite some time to come. His first attempt at finding a home post-"Burn Notice" came on "The Gifted," a relatively short-lived superhero show from Matt Nix, who also creat- ed "Burn Notice." That ran for two seasons on Fox, from 2017 to 2019. That must have seemed like a big disappointment to all involved, since it was a Marvel Comics property, and those are usually guaranteed hits.
