Yarbrough goes on injured list in another hit to Yankees pitching, Winans to make New York debut

Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Ryan Yarbrough was put on the 15-day injured list with a strained right oblique in another blow to the Yankees rotation, and rookie Allan Winans will make his New York debut on Monday night at Cincinnati after going 7-0 with an 0.90 ERA at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Yarbrough, a 33-year-old right-hander who joined the rotation in May, is 3-1 with a 3.90 ERA in eight starts and eight relief appearances. He last pitched on Wednesday, getting a no-decision in a loss to the Los Angeles Angels. 'Something that's been kind of coming on a little bit in his second-to-last start and then a little more sore towards the end of this last start,' Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday. 'After his last start was pretty sore the next day and then before he was getting ready to throw his side the other day felt like couldn't quite do it.' Boone said a scan indicated a low-grade strain. New York made the IL placement retroactive to Friday and recalled left-hander Jayvien Sandridge from the RailRiders. New York already was missing ace Gerrit Cole (Tommy John surgery), AL Rookie of the Year Luis Gil (lat strain) and Marcus Stroman (left knee inflammation). Winans will become the Yankees' eighth starting pitcher this season, matching their 2024 total. A 29-year-old right-hander originally selected by the New York Mets in the 17th round of the 2018 amateur draft, Winans made his big league debut with Atlanta in July 2023 and was 1-4 with a 7.20 ERA in eight starts over two seasons. The Yankees claimed him off waivers on Jan. 23. Winans' fastball has averaged 90 mph this season. In a 4-3 win at Louisville on Tuesday, he threw 23 sinkers, 19 changeups, 18 sliders, 10 fastballs and seven curveballs. 'He's been tremendous. To be this deep in the season as a starting pitcher, have sub-1 (ERA), it's been really, really excellent," Boone said. "So, hopefully, he brings some of that up here with us tomorrow.' Stroman last pitched for the Yankees on April 11 and is to make a third minor league rehab start on Tuesday. 'Hopefully around 70 pitches or so and then be in the mix,' Boone said. ___ More AP baseball: recommended

Reds star, Mariners pitcher, MLB umpire buckle under extreme heat

Summer has just begun and forecasters are already sounding the alarm bells about a deadly round of severe weather working its way across much of the USA. As a storm system brought high winds and tornados across the Midwest and Northeast on Saturday, exceedingly high temperatures elsewhere took a toll on outdoor activities – including Major League Baseball games. In St. Louis and Chicago, the mercury topped the 90 degree mark, coupled with high humidity, driving the heat index above 100. Those conditions led to incidents in each game – both of which lasted over three hours – in which players and umpires had to seek treatment. Reds' Elly De La Cruz vomits on field With two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning in St. Louis, Reds star Elly De La Cruz vomited on the infield dirt near his position at shortstop. An athletic trainer came out to check on him as the grounds crew cleaned up the field. "I actually watched him," Reds manager Terry Francona said. 'He drank a bunch of water. I mean, a bunch, and then he went right out and got rid of it.' De La Cruz stayed in the game. Just an inning earlier, De La Cruz hit a two-out triple and tried to score as the throw came in from the outfield, but he was thrown out. Then later in the seventh, he was able to stroll all the way around the bases after hitting a 435-foot home run in a game the Reds eventually lost 6-5 in 11 innings.. Umpire, Mariners' Trent Thornton succumb to heat at Wrigley Following the fifth inning of the Mariners-Cubs game in Chicago, home plate umpire Chad Whitson left the field and received treatment from athletic trainers in the Seattle dugout. After a 10-minute delay, he was replaced and the game continued with just three umpires. Later in the game, veteran Mariners pitcher Trent Thornton – after going back out for a third inning of work – had to be helped off the field after nearly collapsing behind the mound. "It was a scary moment, for sure," Mariners manager Dan Wilson said. "He battled hard. But just really glad that he's feeling a little bit better now and should be OK." At the end of the game, a member of the Cubs field staff also collapsed, but the team said he was okay. Likewise for umpire Whitson; an MLB spokesperson said he was feeling better Saturday night and had been cleared to work third base for Sunday's series finale. Climate change a real issue for MLB Those two games weren't the only ones played in stifling conditions on the first full day of summer. A high-pressure system over the Southeast that meteorologists sometimes refer to as a "ring of fire" resulted in more than 150 million Americans under some kind of advisory or warning for dangerous heat over the weekend. The Brewers-Twins game in Minneapolis was played under an excessive heat warning. And in Denver, the first-pitch temperature of 98 degrees for Rockies-Diamondbacks was highest for a major league game this season. And we're just getting started. Writing for North Side Baseball, Matthew Trueblood points out some of the elevated heat-related dangers umpires face when conditions get excessive. Home plate umps have to wear extra safety equipment for protection from foul balls. They must stay on the field at all times and aren't able to retreat to the dugout or clubhouse between innings. And they're considerably older than the players, making them even more susceptible to heat-related issues. In addition, the problem figures to get worse as the planet continues to warm. Trueblood cites data from the Environmental Protection Agency that shows heat waves (in which temperatures reach dangerous levels for several days) are occurring almost three times as often as they did in the 1960s and roughly twice as often as they did in the 1980s. "For the next several years," Trueblood writes, "baseball will need to be played only when safe, which will mean building in more off days on the long calendar of the season and/or canceling more contests." We already have one MLB stadium damaged to the point of unplayability for 2025 due to an extreme weather event. And along with the Rays in Tampa, the Athletics in West Sacramento, California, are now playing their home games in ballparks that will be among MLB's most extreme for heat and humidity over the summer.

Bradley Chubb admits to ‘lying' about Dolphins' culture change

The post Bradley Chubb admits to 'lying' about Dolphins' culture change appeared first on ClutchPoints. When the Miami Dolphins decided to part ways with Vic Fangio after the 203 NFL season, it was supposed to 'fix' the team's cultural issues. Advertisement The Dolphins players didn't like Fangio's old-school ways, made that known down the stretch, and when he was finally relieved of his duties – allowed to instead lead the Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl – the hiring of Anthony Weaver was supposed to finally get things back on track. And yet, even one of the team's defensive leaders, Bradley Chubb, admitted to reporters at camp that a cultural change simply didn't happen, as the Dolphins put a to – read: fin – into the water instead of going all-in on the change. While the Dolphins still finished second in the AFC East in 2024, they took major steps back from 2023, with their total number of wins, point differential, and offensive rating all taking major steps backward. Still, their defense did improve under Weaver, so who knows? Maybe a renewed commitment to playing defense the right way could correspond with a return to the playoffs if the Dolphins' offense can get back on track.
