>> DeAndre Yedlin and Newcastle are headed back up to the Premier League after securing promotion Monday with a 4-1 home victory over Preston North End. Yedlin, a 2014 U.S. World Cup member, was with Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland in the top flight before moving to Newcastle last summer.
With two Championship matchdays left, the Magpies and first-place Brighton are assured on the top two slots. A playoff will determine the third promotion, with Americans Danny Williams (Reading) and Tim Ream (Fulham) currently in the playoff field.
Yedlin, 23, was in uniform Monday but did not play.
