Los Angeles Dodgers’ Walker Buehler undergoes second Tommy John surgery, flexor tendon repair

Los Angeles Dodgers star right-hander Walker Buehler underwent Tommy John surgery for the second time in his career on Tuesday, officially ending his season and likely keeping him out for 2023 as well. “There’s no sugarcoating it,” said Andrew Friedman, president of baseball operations. “It was a tough blow but we’ll get him back. I know he’s already itching.” The 28-year-old Buehler last pitched June 10, when elbow discomfort forced him from the match. With imaging on his elbow unclear, Dr. Neal ElAttrache planned surgery for Tuesday during which he would determine whether Buehler needed a full reconstruction of his ulnar collateral ligament. […]

Moira wins 163rd running of $1-million Queen’s Plate

Trainer Kevin Attard has his Stanley Cup. Moira came on strong down the stretch to earn a record-setting triumph in the $1-million Queen’s Plate at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto on Sunday — the first jewel of the Canadian Triple Crown. That secured Attard his first career Plate title on his sixth attempt. The victory is the culmination of a childhood dream for Attard. And although he’s been a finalist as Canada’s champion trainer the last four years and earned Grade 1 victories at the E.P. Taylor Stakes, Woodbine Mile and Prince of Wales. Attard likened not winning the Plate to a hockey player going […]

Springer, Guerrero lead Jays to 9-2 rout of slumping Yanks

George Springer went 5-for-5, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a three-run homer to cap a five-run second inning off Frankie Montas, and the Toronto Blue Jays routed the slumping New York Yankees 9-2 on Thursday night.

It was the fourth five-hit game of his career and his since May 12, 2019, with […]

Cameron Norrie beats cramping Andy Murray in all-British showdown to reach Western and Southern Open last-16

In a battle of the Brits, some 3,900 miles from home, Cameron Norrie defeated Andy Murray, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, in a two-hour-and-37-minute second-round clash at the Western & Southern Open on Wednesday. It was just the second career meeting between Norrie, the current British No. 1 and world No. 11, and Murray, the three-time major champion. Murray, 35, gained the initial clash at Beijing in 2019 and looked as if he would improve to 2-0 versus his fellow countryman before struggling with apparent right leg pain that required treatment after being broken at 4-all in the final set. When the […]

LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers agree to 2-year, $97.1 million extension that includes 3rd-year player option

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has agreed to a two-year, $97.1 million contract extension that contains a player option for the 2024-25 season, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul told ESPN on Wednesday. The extension, which includes a 15% trade kicker, makes James the highest-earning player in NBA history with $532 million in career guaranteed money, surpassing Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant. James is ineligible for a no-trade clause because he agreed on an extension — not a new deal. But the new contract’s starting salary of $46.7 million, the 15% trade kicker and James’ stature as one of history’s great players likely make him a […]

New York Yankees closer Clay Holmes appears set ‘to give it a break’ after suffering back injury

The issues keep piling up for the New York Yankees, as closer Clay Holmes appears headed to the injured list with tightness in his back. “I have stuff going on with my back and trying to figure out the best way to go about it is,” Holmes stated. Holmes said he a first felt “locked up” in his back “a few days ago,” and that it tightened back up while he was playing catch before Tuesday’s 3-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. “Felt like it was the smartest thing, to give it a break and try to play it smart and not try to push […]
