Thu Aug 20 202022:14Rangers place SS Andrus (back), OF Calhoun (hamstring) on IL
SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Texas Rangers have placed shortstop Elvis Andrus and left fielder Willie Calhoun on the 10-day injured list.Calhoun suffered a left hamstring strain when running out an RBI infield single in the 10th inning of the Rangers' loss at San Diego on Wednesday night. An MRI on Thursday revealed a low-grade strain for Calhoun, who will be sidelined at least three weeks.Andrus appeared as a pinch-runner in that game, but that was also the third straight day he didn't start because of a lower back strain. Before that, the shortstop was the only Rangers player to start each of their first 20 games.Texas recalled right-hander Kyle Cody and infielder Yadiel Rivera from its alternate training site before the series finale against the Padres.Andrus, the longest-tenured Rangers player in his 12th season and a week shy of his 32nd birthday, is hitting .184 with no homers and three RBIs this season.“He was fine last night. He woke up pretty stiff this morning though," manager Chris Woodward... [More]

NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees manager Aaron Boone got fired up at a rookie umpire in a profane rant, and New York awoke from a sleepy start to rally past the Tampa Bay Rays 6-2 in a doubleheader opener Thursday.New York rallied to win the second game 5-1 and reopen an eight-game AL East lead over the second-place Rays. Luke Voit tied the score in the fifth with his first home run since June 14, and catcher Mike Zunino caused Charlie Morton to balk home the tiebreaking run in a four-run sixth that included Didi Gregorius' two-run single. The Yankees won three straight after wasting a ninth-inning lead in the series opener and improved to 34-11 against the AL East, including 12-5 against Tampa Bay.After Domingo Germán (12-2) gave up solo homers to his first two batters in the first game, Gio Urshela hit a tying home run in the second off Yonny Chirinos (9-5), and Gary Sánchez smashed a go-ahead 110 mph single off the glove of third baseman Yandy Díaz during a three-run fifth.

Díaz had helped the Yankees come alive when he dropped Didi Gregorius' leadoff popup in the second for a two-base error.Boone fumed after rookie umpire Brennan Miller called Brett Gardner out on strikes in the second inning. Miller, umpiring behind the plate for the fifth time in the major leagues, had punched out Aaron Judge in the first. Gardner batted in the second after Urshela's tying, two-run homer and struck out on a 1-2 pitch.Gardner returned to the dugout, slammed his bat into the bat rack nine times, then eight times...

Thu May 3 201815:05Jeter's Marlins encouraged to be less than terrible lately
MIAMI (AP) — The question for Phillies manager Gabe Kapler was posed politely, especially by Philadelphia standards, following a loss to the Miami Marlins."You're not going to beat every team every single time," a reporter said to Kapler. "But a team like the Marlins that's rebuilding, to get where you guys want to go, is it important to beat this team more often than not, considering where you guys are and where they are?"Translation: How in the world did you lose to them?That's a question for several teams of late.Derek Jeter's young Marlins were widely projected to be the worst team in the National League, and perhaps the majors, but they've won consecutive series from the Dodgers, Rockies and Phillies. And while they're still last in the NL East at 11-19, they're showing signs Jeter may be onto something with his rebuilding plan."Those are major league players over there with the capability of beating your butt," Kapler said.It didn't look that way 10 days ago, when Miami was 5-17 and...

Chris Sale and his fellow aces are having all sorts of trouble with these tuneup starts.Sale was knocked off the mound by a line drive Saturday and exited with a bruised left hip. He said the injury wasn't serious and wouldn't jeopardize his opening day start Thursday for the AL East champion Boston Red Sox at Tampa Bay."I don't see anything lingering from this," Sale said.
