Reds place RHP Graham Ashcraft on 15-day IL, recall RHP Luis Mey
CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds placed right-handed reliever Graham Ashcraft on the 15-day injured list with a right groin strain on Tuesday.
Ashcraft, whose move was retroactive to June 16, is one of the Reds' most dependable relievers, going 5-4 with a 4.19 ERA in 19 appearances with 38 strikeouts in 34 1/3 innings over 29 appearances.
In his most recent outing in Sunday's 8-4 win at Detroit, Ashcraft allowed three hits and two earned runs in one inning.
To fill Ashcraft's spot in the bullpen, the Reds recalled hard-throwing rookie Luis Mey from Triple-A Louisville. Mey has made 14 appearances, going 1-0 with a 4.15 ERA with 14 strikeouts in 13 innings.
Cincinnati has won seven of its last 10 games to climb within 2 1/2 games of the third NL wild card spot.

Bryan Reynolds leaves Pirates' game against Tigers when wife goes into labor
DETROIT (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds left Tuesday night's game against the Detroit Tigers in the second inning when his wife went into labor. Reynolds struck out to end the top of the first and didn't make a play in the field in the bottom of the inning. He was replaced by Alexander Canario in right field and is expected to be added to the paternity list after the game. Canario hit a two-run single in the third to give Pittsburgh a 3-2 lead. The 30-year-old Reynolds, a two-time All-Star, is hitting .222 with eight homers, 39 RBIs and 81 strikeouts in 71 games.

Spire Motorsports punishes Carson Hocevar for derogatory comments about Mexico City
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Spire Motorsports fined Carson Hocevar $50,000 on Tuesday for derogatory comments he made about Mexico City on a live stream as NASCAR raced there last weekend. Hocevar walked back the comments Sunday night with an apology and the 22-year-old admitted it was the first time he'd ever been outside the United States and believed all the negative things he'd read and heard about Mexico City. 'I am embarrassed by my comments,' he posted in a lengthy apology. Spire also ordered Hocevar to attend cultural-sensitivity and bias-awareness training. Spire said the $50,000 fine will be donated in equal portions to three organizations that serve Mexican communities: — Cruz Roja Mexicana (Mexican Red Cross). — Un Kilo de Ayuda, a nonprofit combating childhood malnutrition and supporting early-childhood development in rural communities. — Fondo Unido México (United Way Mexico), which funds local NGOs that improve education, health, and housing in 22 Mexican states. 'These actions are consistent with Spire Motorsports' core value of RESPECT, which is something we proudly display on every race car, team uniform, trackside hauler, and digital channel,' the team said in a statement. 'Respect is not a slogan. It is a daily expectation that we 'walk the walk' in how we speak, compete, and serve the communities that welcome our sport. 'Carson Hocevar's recent comments made during the livestream fell short of that standard. They did not represent the views of Spire Motorsports, our partners, or NASCAR. He has acknowledged his mistake publicly, and his prompt, sincere apology demonstrated personal accountability. We now take this additional step to underscore that words carry weight, and respect must be lived out loud.' Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Spire said it informed NASCAR of Hocevar's penalties and that it satisfied the sanctioning body's requirements. 'Together we remain committed to showcasing NASCAR's global growth, celebrating the passionate Mexican fanbase we experienced firsthand last weekend, and ensuring every member of our organization treats hosts, competitors, and communities with dignity,' Spire said. 'We look forward to turning the page by racing hard, representing our partners, and living our values on and off the track.' ___ AP auto racing:

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson defends Mark Andrews from online criticism after playoff drop
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Lamar Jackson said he never gets over losses. And he also dislikes fans criticizing one of his teammates online. After the Baltimore Ravens' first day of mandatory minicamp Tuesday, Jackson called out the social media criticism directed at tight end Mark Andrews following the tight end's crucial drop in January's playoff defeat to the Buffalo Bills. 'I've been seeing my guy getting talked about, and I really don't like that, because he's done so much for us,' Jackson said of Andrews, who let a potential game-tying, 2-point conversion pass slip through his hands in a 27-25 loss in the divisional round. 'He's done so much for us, and how people did him, I just don't like that. Cause Mark's still Mark.' The criticism that Andrews received prompted speculation the Ravens might trade the three-time Pro Bowler before the final season of a four-year, $56 million deal. That hasn't happened, and Andrews was with the team to begin optional team activities last month, when he also spoke to reporters about the play. In Andrews' defense, Jackson was quick to mention the two turnovers he committed during the first half that helped Buffalo take a 21-10 halftime lead. 'People were trying to dog him on comments and stuff,' Jackson said. 'And he's accomplished so much. For us, for himself. So I just feel like, let things happen sometimes. We wish we would've won the game. I wish I didn't throw that interception. I wish I didn't fumble. I wish the (conversion) mishap didn't happen. But it happened. Lesson learned, man.' Jackson was visibly upbeat on Tuesday in his first session with reporters since his postgame news conference in Buffalo. And he expressed awe of his newest receiving option, 33-year-old DeAndre Hopkins, who signed a one-year, $6-million deal with Baltimore in March.

Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. 'He's different, man,' Jackson said. 'I threw him, like, a shallow (cross) today. He caught the ball so smooth, got up. I don't even think he put his other hand on the ground to get up. He just caught the ball and start running. I'm like, 'Bro, that's some vet-type stuff. Like some super-vet-type stuff.'' And he suggested there's no point in trying to erase the pain from the latest in a string of frustrating playoff defeats during his career. 'I don't think I get over any loss, to be honest,' Jackson said. 'I've got losses from youth football that still haunt me. So I never get over a loss. I don't care how small it might be to someone else or how great it might be. It's always the same for me.' ___ AP NFL:
