Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes leaves game against the Nationals with an apparent injury
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks ace Corbin Burnes was lifted after just 70 pitches Sunday against Washington with an apparent injury.
Arizona led 3-0 in the top of the fifth when Burnes allowed a single by C.J. Abrams with two outs. The right-hander then gestured toward the dugout with his glove and yelled in frustration.
Jalen Beeks replaced Burnes and gave up an RBI single before getting the third out.
Burnes allowed a run and four hits in 4 2/3 innings, with a walk and six strikeouts. He's 3-2 with a 2.66 ERA in 11 starts on the season.
Arizona signed Burnes to a $210 million, six-year contract before the season. He's been effective, but the Diamondbacks have dealt with a slew of pitching injuries. Jordan Montgomery (Tommy John surgery) is out for the season, Eduardo Rodríguez (shoulder) is on the injured list, and reliever A.J. Puk (elbow) is on the IL as well.

Top-ranked Sabalenka overcomes Zheng and windy conditions to reach French Open semis
PARIS (AP) — Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka defeated Zheng Qinwen in straight sets to reach the French Open semifinals for the second time on Tuesday. Sabalenka, who is chasing her first title at Roland-Garros, overcame a shaky start and windy conditions to prevail 7-6 (3), 6-3 and extend her record against the Olympic champion to 7-1. The score did not fully reflect the closeness of the quarterfinal, though, with so little separating the rivals. But Sabalenka demonstrated why she was the world No. 1, making the difference on big points, while Zheng struggled with her serve in tense moments. Sabalenka will try to reach her sixth Grand Slam final, and first at Roland-Garros, against defending champion Iga Swiatek or Elina Svitolina. Zheng started strong on Court Philippe-Chatrier, breaking early and dominating with aggressive play. However, two double faults in the eighth game allowed Sabalenka to break back and shift the momentum. A misjudged call by Zheng in the 12th game nearly cost her, but she fought off a set point to force a tiebreaker. Sabalenka remained more consistent and secured the set after Zheng hit long on a drop shot. Zheng saved a break point with an overhead shot in the fifth game of the second set, but Sabalenka's powerful backhand return pinned her down on the next one, allowing the top-ranked player to move ahead 3–2. Zheng did not go down without a fight, though, and broke back immediately, only to drop her two last service games. The loss ended a run of 10 consecutive match wins for Zheng at Roland-Garros, dating to last summer's Olympic Games. ___ AP tennis:

Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran reportedly drawing trade interest from Padres
If the struggling Boston Red Sox decide to sell off pieces at some point this season, one National League team is already interested in trading for outfielder Jarren Duran. According to Dennis Lin of The Athletic, the San Diego Padres have Duran among their trade targets, as the team looks to fill "glaring holes" at the bottom of its lineup. The Padres are looking for help in left field after Gavin Sheets was injured when he crashed into the left field wall last Sunday. Sheets had been San Diego's injury replacement for veteran outfielder Jason Hayward. Padres had interest in Duran before last season This isn't the first time the Padres have been connected to Duran. San Diego was reportedly eying the outfielder before his breakout 2024 season, according to Lin. "The Padres expressed interest in Duran ahead of the 2024 season," wrote Lin. "Before veteran left fielder Jurickson Profar and then-rookie center fielder Jackson Merrill joined Duran as first-time All-Stars." Duran was the All-Star Game MVP last year, and finished eighth in MVP voting at the end of the season. He had a monster season for Boston overall, when he slashed .285/.342/.492 to go with 21 home runs, 111 runs scored, 75 RBI, and a league-leading 14 triples. Through 61 games this season, Boston's leadoff man is slashing .271/.317/.417 with four homers, six triples, 15 doubles, and 33 runs scored. Would trading Duran make sense for Red Sox? Duran would fill an immediate need in San Diego, but would it make sense for the Red Sox to move on from one of their most electric players? If the team really goes into the tank -- and the 29-33 Red Sox are close -- it might be worth it to cash in on such a valuable trade chip. Lin speculates the Red Sox could receive a pair of Top 50 prospects from San Diego in 18-year-old shortstop Leo De Vries (the No. 3 prospect in baseball) and catcher Ethan Salas (No. 29). But the biggest carrot for Boston in a Duran trade wouldn't necessarily be the package the team receives in return -- at least in the immediate future. Trading Duran would clear a path for top prosect Roman Anthony in Boston, which is something a lot of fans have been clamoring for amid the team's struggles. Anthony has been tearing the cover off the ball for the Worcester Red Sox this season, slashing .303/.430/.492 with eight homers, nine doubles, and 41 runs scored out of the leadoff spot. But there's a logjam in the Boston outfield, with Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela, and Wilyer Abreu occupying the starting spots and veteran Rob Refsnyder filling the depth role. The Red Sox don't want to promote Anthony until there's a clear path to him playing every day. A Duran trade would open that door. While Duran is a special talent atop the Boston lineup, he was a late bloomer and at 28 years old, he's the oldest among the team's starting outfielders. He is only under team control through the 2028 season, when he'll likely command a huge paycheck. The Red Sox still has a lot to figure out before they choose a lane for the July 31 trade deadline, and simply trading Duran and promoting Anthony won't fix the 2025 Boston Red Sox -- especially if they don't get any Major League pitching in the deal. But if Craig Breslow and company do choose to sell, it appears Duran will be a popular player around the deadline.
