Mets slugger Juan Soto out of lineup a day after fouling a ball off his left foot
Mets slugger Juan Soto wasn't in New York's lineup on Wednesday for a series finale against the San Diego Padres after fouling a ball off the top of his left foot a night earlier. Manager Carlos Mendoza said Soto was better but still sore. 'Getting treatment. We'll see where we're at. He hasn't done anything. He's in the training room. Hopefully he gets in the cages and see if he's available or not for the game. A little bit better.' Jeff McNeil was in the lineup in right field as the NL East-leading Mets tried to avoid being swept. The team announced that Soto had a bruised foot and that X-rays were negative. Soto appeared to be in considerable pain after fouling a ball off his foot in the fourth inning of a 7-1 loss. He hopped down the first base line on his right foot and then crouched down. He was checked by an athletic trainer, took a few swings, and then finished his at-bat grounding out to second baseman Jake Cronenworth, who made a nice diving stop. Soto was then lifted from the game. He's hitting .248 with 25 homers and 62 RBIs. Soto joined the Mets in December when he signed the biggest contract in baseball history–a 765 million 15-year deal.

Angels acquire relievers Chafin and García from Nationals in trade for lefty Eder, prospect Brown
The Los Angeles Angels have acquired relievers Andrew Chafin and Luis García from the Washington Nationals in a trade for left-hander Jake Eder and minor league first baseman Sam Brown. The Angels announced the deal to bolster their bullpen on Wednesday. Los Angeles also designated left-hander José Quijada for assignment to make room on its 40-man roster. The 35-year-old Chafin joins his eighth major league team after going 1-1 with a 2.70 ERA in 26 appearances for Washington this season. Left-handed hitters are batting just .147 against him. The 38-year-old García will begin his third stint with the Angels after playing for the club in 2019 and 2024. He made 28 appearances for the Dodgers to start the current season before joining the Nationals on July 8 and allowing just one run in 10 appearances out of Washington's bullpen. The Angels have one of the major's highest bullpen ERAs despite the presence of closer Kenley Jansen, who has 20 saves and a 2.93 ERA in another strong season. Jansen is among several veteran Angels players who could have value on the trade market this week, making it unclear whether Los Angeles made this four-man trade to boost its chances for contention or to set it up for additional moves. The Angels began Wednesday at 53-55–only four games out of the final AL wild-card spot but with four other teams above them in the standings. Eder has a 4.91 ERA with 15 strikeouts in his eight major league relief appearances for the Angels, who acquired the former top prospect from the White Sox in March. He has been starting in the minor leagues. Brown, the Angels' 12th-round pick in 2023, has been playing at Double-A Rocket City.

Bills rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston diagnosed with sprained right knee ligament, AP source says
Buffalo Bills rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston is out indefinitely after the first-round draft pick was diagnosed with a sprained lateral collateral ligament in his right knee, a person briefed on the injury told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team is off and hasn't provided an update on Hairston's injury since he was hurt in practice a day earlier. first reported the diagnosis. No timetable was provided for how much time Hairston will miss with the injury, which is not as severe as initially feared. He will, however, miss valuable practice time and preseason experience as he competes for a starting job opposite Christian Benford. The injury opens the door for veteran TreDavious White to begin the season as the starter. White, the Bills' 2017 first-round pick, returned to Buffalo for an eighth season after splitting last year with the Los Angeles Rams and Baltimore Ravens. Hairston was hurt when he apparently tripped himself up during individual drills early in practice Tuesday. He lay on the field in pain while having his right knee examined. After getting up under his own power, Hairston was consoled by several teammates, including White. Noted for being among the fastest players in his draft class, Hairston was selected 30th overall following his junior season at Kentucky, where he was a two-year starter. The Bills return to practice Thursday at their training camp facility in suburban Rochester.
