Blue Jays put Anthony Santander on 10-day IL with left shoulder inflammation, recall Alan Roden
TORONTO (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays put slugger Anthony Santander on the 10-day injured list Friday because of left shoulder inflammation and recalled outfielder Alan Roden from Triple-A Buffalo.
Santander is batting .179 with six home runs and 18 RBIs in 50 games. The veteran switch hitter has missed a handful of games because of left hip and left shoulder soreness over the past three weeks.

Santander signed a $92.5 million, five-year contract with Toronto in January after eight seasons with Baltimore. He hit a career-best 44 home runs for the Orioles last season.
The outfielder had an MRI after Thursday's 12-0 win over the Athletics, when he was 0 for 2 with two strikeouts and two walks, Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. The team was still determining whether the next steps would include a cortisone injection or rehabilitation, the manager said.
'I think it just got to the point to where it was bothering him,' Schneider said before Friday's game against the Athletics. 'You can't really put the work that you want to put in volume-wise, and we just think it's best for him right now.'
Roden rejoins the Blue Jays after batting .178 with one home run and five RBIs in 28 games for Toronto earlier this season, his first in the majors. Roden hit .361 with three homers and 12 RBIs in 18 games at Buffalo after being sent down May 7.

Caitlin Clark's Teammate Sends Official 'Warning' To WNBA Referees
Caitlin Clark's Teammate Sends Official 'Warning' To WNBA Referees originally appeared on The Spun. Caitlin Clark's teammate sent an official "warning" to the WNBA's referees. Advertisement The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft has been on the receiving end of some very physical defense since coming into the league. Clark, who stars for the Indiana Fever, was involved in a heated incident against the Connecticut Sun. Clark was hit in the eye by Sun guard Jacy Sheldon and then knocked to the ground by one of Sheldon's teammates. Later in the game, Sheldon was knocked to the ground by Sophie Cunningham, who has become Clark's enforcer. Cunningham is blaming the WNBA's referees.

Advertisement "During that, it was just part of the game," Cunningham said postgame. "I think the refs had a lot to do with that. It was a build-up for a couple years now of them just not, not protecting the star player of the WNBA. And so at the end of the day, I'm going to protect my teammates. That's what I do, and I'm a team player." On Saturday, ahead of the Indiana Fever vs. Las Vegas Aces game, Cunningham made it clear that if the WNBA's referees won't take control of the situation, she will. "I think the refs had a lot to do with that. It was built up for a couple years now, just not protecting the star player of WNBA," she said. Cunningham probably isn't wrong to at least partially blame the WNBA's referees for letting things escalate to the level that it did. Advertisement However, it'll be interesting to see just how physical Cunningham gets with Clark's opponents moving forward in the 2025 WNBA regular season.
