Texas Rangers put reliever Chris Martin on IL and bring 3B Josh Jung back
Martin came out of
Sunday night's loss against Detroit
after being visited on the mound by an athletic trainer. Manager Bruce Bochy said before Monday's game that Martin likely will be out at least 4 to 6 weeks.
It is the second time this season that the 39-year-old Martin (1-6, 2.39 ERA in 39 games) has gone on the 15-day IL.
The hometown right-hander
missed 14 games from May 19-June 4 because of right shoulder fatigue.
Texas recalled Jung, right-hander Cole Winn and infielder-outfielder Michael Helman from Triple-A Round Rock. Infielder Justin Foscue and outfielder Alejandro Osuna were optioned to the minor league team.
Jung was struggling when the
Rangers sent him down
to Round Rock on July 2. While he was hitting .237 with eight homers and 35 RBIs in 75 games overall, he had hit only .164 (19 of 116) in the 30 games before getting sent down.
He was an All-Star starter as a rookie in 2023, when the Rangers won their only World Series title. Jung was in the lineup for Monday's series opener against the Athletics, batting eighth.

Léon Marchand, Summer McIntosh and 12-year-old Yu Zidi hope to shine on the final day of the worlds
SINGAPORE (AP) — French star Léon Marchand has broken one world record already in the 200-meter individual medley. He'll try for a second on Sunday in the 400 IM on the closing day of the swimming world championships in Singapore, a record he set two years ago in the worlds in Fukuoka, Japan. That mark is 4 minutes, 02.50 seconds. It would be Marchand's second gold in Singapore, where he's swimming a reduced schedule after winning four individual golds a year ago at the Paris Olympics. He will swim from Lane 1, entering with a relatively slow qualifying time. Summer McIntosh of Canada will be in the women's 400 IM, trying for her fourth gold. Her hope of winning five individual golds in the worlds — only Michael Phelps has done that — was crushed Saturday night when she was beaten by American Katie Ledecky in the 800 free. McIntosh finished third. Chinese 12-year-old Yu Zidi has the No. 3 qualifying time as she shoots for a medal. She picked up a bronze medal in a relay — she swam in a prelim but not the final — but an individual medal would be astounding. As a reminder, she is the same age as most sixth- or seventh-grade students, depending on the school system. The Americans, frustrated throughout the meet with a case of 'acute gastroenteritis' picked up in a training camp in Thailand, surged on Saturday with three golds to bring their gold-medal leading total to eight. Australia has seven. The Americans have several gold-medal chances in Sunday's eight finals. Among them: world-record holder Bobby Finke in the 1,500 free, and the men's and women's 4x100 medley relays. The Americans have the fastest qualifying times in both relays. China, the Paris Olympic champions a year ago in the men's 4x100 medley, failed to qualify. China finished ninth, out of the top eight in a time of 3:32.69 seconds. They swam 3:27.46 to win in Paris. Qin Haiyang and Pan Zhanle — two world-record holders — were on the team that missed out. They were both on the Paris team. __

Angels hitters struggle against Aaron Civale and White Sox in shutout loss
Aaron Civale pitched one-hit ball into the seventh inning, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Angels 1-0 on Saturday night to surpass their win total from last season. Chicago improved to 42-69 with its 10th win in 14 games since the All-Star break. It finished with a 41-121 record in 2024, breaking the modern major league record for most losses in a season. The White Sox scored their only run on Kyle Teel's RBI single in the second against Kyle Hendricks (6-8). Teel drove in Luis Robert Jr., who reached on a leadoff single. Civale (3-6) struck out eight in 6⅓ innings. He is 2-0 in his last three starts, allowing an unearned run and seven hits in 17⅓ innings. The Angels (53-58) got their only hit when Zach Neto beat out a slow roller down the third base line leading off the fourth. It was the team's third consecutive loss. Brandon Eisert retired each of his five batters, and Jordan Leasure finished the one-hitter for his third save in seven opportunities. Brooks Baldwin had two of Chicago's six hits. The White Sox (42-69) played without infielder Miguel Vargas, who was scratched because of a left oblique strain. Angels star Mike Trout missed a second straight game because of illness. Key moment: Nolan Schanuel walked after Neto's hit. But Civale retired the next three batters. Key stat: Chicago began the day with 27 home runs and 90 runs scored since the All-Star break — tops in the majors. Up next: Right-hander Sean Burke (4-8, 4.17 ERA) starts on Sunday for the White Sox, and right-hander Jack Kochanowicz (3-9, 5.75 ERA) goes for the Angels.
