Diamondbacks put RHP Corbin Burnes on 15-day IL with right elbow inflammation
ATLANTA (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks ace Corbin Burnes has been put on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation, two days after leaving a start early against the Washington Nationals.
Arizona led 3-0 in the top of the fifth inning when Burnes allowed a single by CJ Abrams with two outs. The right-hander then gestured toward the dugout with his glove and yelled in frustration.
Burnes allowed a run and four hits in 4 2/3 innings, with a walk and six strikeouts. He is 3-2 with a 2.66 ERA in 11 starts this season.
Arizona signed Burnes to a $210 million, six-year contract before the season, and the 30-year-old has been very durable over the past several years. He's made at least 28 starts in every season since he won the 2021 National League Cy Young Award for the Milwaukee Brewers.
The D-backs called up left-hander Tommy Henry to take Burnes' spot on the roster. He's pitched in one game this season, throwing 2 2/3 scoreless innings.

Muslims look forward to the annual Eid feast. Many Africans are now struggling to afford it
KARA, Nigeria (AP) — Muslim families across west Africa are grappling with the steep cost of rams for the traditional sacrifice that is central to the celebration of Eid al-Adha, a struggle that mirrors the region's deepening economic and humanitarian crises. At the Kara livestock market in southern Nigeria's Ogun state, ram sellers and buyers are in a bind. Prices have at least doubled compared with last year, slowing sales for what is usually a busy market packed in the lead-up to Eid. 'The ram that I bought for 200,000 naira ($127) last year, this year we started negotiating from 600,000 naira ($380),' said Abiodun Akinyoye, who came to buy meat for the festival. The U.N. World Food Programme said last month that over 36 million people are struggling to meet basic food and nutrition needs in West Africa and Central Africa, a number expected to rise to 52 million during this year's lean season from June to August. More than 10 million of the most vulnerable people across the region have been uprooted by conflict, the WFP said, added to other major drivers like food inflation and climate conditions like extreme weather. 'We are at a tipping point and millions of lives are at stake,' said Margot van der Velden, WFP's regional director. With a majority of Muslim populations in most of the worst-hit countries, families who previously bought rams to take part in the annual joyful festival are finding it difficult to sustain that lifestyle with some spending significantly more of their disposable income on trying to fulfill the religious rites. 'Everyone is suffering,' Nigerian ram seller Jaji Kaligini said as he lamented the cost-of-living crisis fueled by President Bola Tinubu's economic policies, such as a sudden removal of subsidies. "We don't know what to do.' In countries like Niger, where growing insecurity have worsened the living conditions, the military government banned ram exports this year to stabilize local supply. While that has helped availability, it has affected tightened supplies in neighboring Nigeria and Benin. 'There's enough livestock (in Niger),' said Hasoumi Daouda, who was at a local market to buy ram. 'But it's the financial crisis that makes them too expensive to buy.' The challenge of hardship is also raising the question of how obligatory the ram sacrifice is for Muslims. The tradition is not mandatory for those who 'genuinely cannot afford it,' Bukola Hameed, a Nigerian Islamic scholar, said. However, those who can afford it also have 'a duty to share their meat with poorer neighbors,' another Islamic scholar, Mikail Adekunle, added. —-- Adebayo reported from Abuja, Nigeria

Supreme Court blocks Mexico's $10 billion lawsuit alleging US gunmakers have fueled cartel violence
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked a $10 billion lawsuit Mexico filed against top firearm manufacturers in the U.S. alleging the companies' business practices have fueled tremendous cartel violence and bloodshed. The unanimous ruling tossed out the case under U.S. laws that largely shield gunmakers from liability when their firearms are used in crime. Big-name manufacturers like Smith & Wesson had appealed to the justices after a lower court let the suit go forward under an exception for situations in which the companies themselves are accused of violating the law. Mexico had asked the justices to let the case play out, saying it was still in its early stages. The case began in 2021, when the Mexican government filed a blockbuster suit against some of the biggest gun companies, including Smith & Wesson, Beretta, Colt and Glock. Mexico has strict gun laws and has just one store where people can legally buy firearms. But thousands of guns are smuggled in by the country's powerful drug cartels every year. The Mexican government says at least 70% of those weapons come from the United States. The lawsuit claims that companies knew weapons were being sold to traffickers who smuggled them into Mexico and decided to cash in on that market. The companies reject Mexico's allegations, arguing the country's lawsuit comes nowhere close to showing they're responsible for a relatively few people using their products to commit violence. A federal judge tossed out the lawsuit under a 2005 law that protects gun companies from most civil lawsuits, but an appeals court revived it. The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston found it fell under an exception to the shield law for situations in which firearm companies are accused of knowingly breaking laws in their business practices. That exception has come up in other cases, including in lawsuits stemming from mass shootings. Families of victims of the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, for example, argued it applied to their lawsuit because the gunmaker had violated state law in the marketing of the AR-15 rifle used in the shooting, in which 20 first graders and six educators were killed.

England selects froward Lauren James for Women's Euros despite injury concern
LONDON (AP) — Chelsea forward Lauren James was picked in England's 23-woman squad for its title defense in the Women's European Championship on Thursday despite having not played a game for club or country since early April because of injury. James injured a hamstring against Belgium on April 4 and was the biggest doubt ahead of England coach Sarina Wiegman's squad selection. However, she was included among the attacking options, which also featured Michelle Agyemang, a highly rated 19-year-old forward who has played once for England. Wiegman will be without 218 caps worth of experience in the wake of Millie Bright's decision to pull out of selection because of health reasons and following the international retirements of Mary Earps and Fran Kirby over the past week. England's first game at the Euros, taking place in Switzerland, is against France on July 5. ___
