NEW YORK (AP) — Mets right-hander Kodai Senga left Thursday's start against the Washington Nationals with an apparent right leg injury.
Senga allowed just two base runners in the first 5 1/3 innings before racing to cover first on CJ Abrams' grounder to Pete Alonso. Senga made a leaping grab of Alonso's high throw and touched the bag with his right foot on his way down.

But the 32-year-old stumbled upon landing and reached for the back of his right leg before hopping and eventually tumbling to the ground.
Senga was visited by a trainer, his interpreter and manager Carlos Mendoza before being surrounded by teammates. He got up and walked off the field on his own, albeit with a slight limp.
The 5 2/3 scoreless innings of one-hit ball lowered Senga's ERA to 1.47. Left-hander José Castillo entered with the Mets leading 4-0.
Senga suffered a left calf injury in his only regular-season start last July 26. After missing the first 102 games because of a right shoulder strain, Senga gave up two runs in 5 1/3 innings against the Atlanta Braves before he was injured sprinting off the mound to clear room for Alonso to catch a pop-up by Austin Riley. Senga returned to make three appearances, including two brief starts, in the playoffs.

Buffalo Bills sign 1st-round pick Maxwell Hairston
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills have signed their first-round draft pick, cornerback Maxwell Hairston, to his rookie contract. Buffalo addressed a key need in its secondary when it selected the 21-year-old Hairston with the No. 30 pick out of Kentucky in April. The 5-foot-11 player is noted for his speed, and he tied a school record by returning three interceptions for touchdowns over his three-year career. From Michigan, Hairston is being given an opportunity to compete for the starting job opposite Christian Benford. Friday's signing comes a day after the Bills completed their three-day mandatory minicamp, with the team now on break before opening training camp next month. Hairston missed the final practice after hurting his left hamstring on Wednesday. General manager Brandon Beane described the injury as 'a little tweak,' and expects the player to be ready for the start of camp. Buffalo also signed its fourth-round pick, defensive tackle Deone Walker. The team has eight of its nine draft selections under contract, with the exception being its second-round pick, defensive tackle T.J. Sanders. ___ AP NFL:

Florida State SS Alex Lodise wins the Dick Howser Trophy as the top college player in the nation
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Florida State shortstop Alex Lodise has been named winner of the Dick Howser Trophy as the national player of the year, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association announced Friday. Lodise is the third player in program history to win the Howser, joining J.D. Drew in 1997 and Buster Posey in 2008. The award has been presented annually since 1987 and is named after former FSU All-American and head coach Dick Howser. Lodise was named Atlantic Coast Conference player and defensive player of the year, and he also is a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award as the top amateur player in the nation and Brooks Wallace Award as the nation's top shortstop. Lodise ranked among the national leaders with a .394 batting average, 17 home runs, 18 doubles, 68 RBIs and .705 slugging percentage. He committed only five errors on 216 fielding chances (.977) and was part of 34 double plays. The junior from Jacksonville, Florida, had at least one hit in 48 of his 58 games. He had 31 multi-hit games and 13 games with three or more hits. Among his season highlights was hitting for the cycle in a March 25 game against Florida — finishing it with a walk-off grand slam. ___ AP college sports:
