ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — All-Star slugger Adolis García, the American League leader with 100 RBIs, will be placed on the 10-day injured list by the playoff-contending and slumping Texas Rangers after an MRI on Thursday revealed a patellar tendon strain in his right knee.General manager Chris Young said García won’t need surgery and that the team is “cautiously optimistic” he might be able to return this season for the Rangers, who have 23 regular-season games left. The GM didn’t provide a definite timetable. “We won’t know that for certain until the next week to 10 days as we kind of see how the healing and inflammation responds,” Young said. “Nonetheless, it was not a rupture, which we were fearful of. So I think that was good news all things considered, and we’ll will remain hopeful that he can return.”Texas is going to call up top prosect outfielder Evan Carter, and he will join the team for the opener of a weekend series at home against Oakland on Friday night. Young said the tea...

(CNN Español) — La decisión del excanciller de México Marcelo Ebrard de rechazar el proceso por el que Morena definió su candidatura presidencial, que fue otorgada a la exjefa de Gobierno de la Ciudad de México, Claudia Sheinbaum, representa un desafío tanto a la unidad de su partido como al liderazgo del presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador, coinciden analistas políticos consultados por CNN.Este miércoles, horas antes de que Morena anunciara los resultados de las encuestas para definir su postulación, Ebrard pidió que se repusiera todo el procedimiento, bajo el argumento de que en él hubo “graves inconsistencias”.“Cada día se parecen más al PRI de antes, qué tristeza”, dijo en un video publicado en la red social X, antes conocida como Twitter, al criticar que los responsables del ejercicio desatendieron su llamado e incluso, aseguró, utilizaron a la policía capitalina para intimidar a su equipo.Ebrard también señaló que será el lunes cuando decida qué hará con su futuro pol...

She had seven birdies through 13 holes and then closed with five pars.Liu had a one-shot lead on the Kendale course at Kenwood Country Club over Peiyun Chien, Elizabeth Szokol, short-hitting Dottie Ardina and Linnea Strom. Liu reached the par-5 second hole for a two-putt birdie, made a 15-foot birdie on the next hole and then it all felt easy.“From that point on the putter is just rolling great,” Liu said. “I pretty much made everything except for hole No. 12. That’s the only bad hole I played today, because my second shot was only like 18 feet for e...
