Brewers place rookie phenom Jacob Misiorowski on injured list as rotation takes a hit
Misiorowski went on the 15-day IL with a left tibia contusion, retroactive to Thursday.
The 23-year-old righty had been slated to pitch Sunday against the Nationals, but he was replaced by Triple-a call-up Logan Henderson.
'We noticed during the week — really, our pitching guys noticed during the week — that the throwing programs and the bullpen, something wasn't right,' Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy said Sunday. 'We wanted to be smart about taking care of the kid.

'He's got a big future … and he'll try to push through it because he's young. We want to keep him from making those types of decisions unless we know he's 100 percent.'
The hard-throwing Misiorowski went 4-1 with a 2.81 ERA over his first five outings and was controversially named as a replacement for the NL All-Star squad.
He worked a scoreless inning in the Midsummer Classic, which finished in a 6-6 tie before a home run swing-off determined a winner.
Misiorowski, who has lowered his ERA to 2.70 in two no-decisions since the All-Star break, was struck on the left shin on a liner off the bat of Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki in his last start Thursday.

Misiorowski's shutdown comes two days after first-place Milwaukee also had placed outfielder Jackson Chourio on the injured list with a strained right hamstring.
'I mean, I'm competitive,' Misiorowski said. 'I want to play every game, so … it sucks. It's not fun to sit on the bench, but at the same time, I don't want to go out there and not have my best stuff [when I'm] trying to win for the team. So if the best is me sitting on the bench, then that's what we got to do.
'It was basically like, 'This is what it's going to be.' Obviously I was trying to fight it a little bit, trying to throw, but I understand. And you know they're looking out for me.'

Bucks respond to latest Giannis trade rumors with a single emoji
For now, the Milwaukee Bucks are probably (and finally) out of the woods regarding Giannis Antetokounmpo's future. After stretching and waiving Damian Lillard's contract, then signing a big-time frontcourt partner in Myles Turner, the Bucks seem like they've done enough to appease Antetokounmpo. Factor in a temporarily weaker Eastern Conference on paper after injuries to Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton, and it gets easier to talk yourself into the kind of Bucks competence that keeps Antetokounmpo happy. Well, at least for the next two years before the superstar has a decision to make on a player option in the summer of 2027. But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. That didn't stop ESPN's Shams Charania from continuing to stoke the Antetokounmpo fire in Milwaukee. In a Monday morning appearance on First Take, Charania claimed that Antetokounmpo is still undecided about his future in Milwaukee. To be clear, that's not from a long-term perspective. That's from the perspective of whether Antetokounmpo will even want to be in Milwaukee this season. Hmm. while I can't say these rumors are false with absolute certainty, they don't pass the smell test. Given where we are in the NBA offseason, it's hard to believe that Antetokounmpo is really still pondering the near future in Milwaukee. After the conclusion of the draft and free agency, all 30 rosters around the league are more or less set in stone. Anyone who would ostensibly even have the space to trade for Antetokounmpo now probably has much less flexibility to do so without moving mountains around their salary cap sheet. Everything has been accounted for, and it would be a huge headache to dig things up again. We're also roughly two months out from the start of NBA training camps. That sort of short turnaround timeline doesn't lend itself to one of the best players in the world making a seismic change in his career at this specific point. This new rash of an Antetokounmpo rumor reeks of pot-stirring for engagement, but I can't prove it. Not without some help, anyway. That's where the Bucks' social media team came in. They posted a single yawn emoji on their X account, which seems pretty clearly in response to the (manufactured) fervor about Antetokounmpo still wanting to leave the franchise right now: Suffice it to say, if the Bucks aren't publicly concerned about Antetokounmpo leaving like this, then no one else should bat an eyelash over contrary reports. It's all conjecture until someone from Antetokounmpo's camp or the Bucks' camp lends more credence to it. Has Shams Charania previously pushed seemingly unfounded Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors? Yes, actually! Way back in early June, Charania claimed that the Antetokounmpo trade saga would extend well into the summer regardless of any extenuating factors. Later that day, Antetokounmpo posted how he missed former longtime NBA reporter Adrian Wojnarowski, which was an apparent shot at Charania's reporting. The Bucks responding like this to another Charania report is right in line with how their summer has gone with one of the best players they've ever rostered.

Alexei Popyrin vs. Alexander Zverev odds, prediction: Pick, best bet at ATP Toronto
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Something about Canada suits Alexei Popyrin. The Australian has never lost a match at the Canadian Masters, winning the title on debut in Montreal last year and going 3-0 in Toronto in 2025. Even more peculiar is the fact that Popyrin had never been to a final at any event above a 250-level in his career, making his breakthrough win as an unseeded player in 2024 all the more stunning. Popyrin won't have snuck up on anybody in Canada this year, but it is still a bit of a surprise to see the World No. 26 with a chance to make his second consecutive trip to the semifinals in this event. He's a decided underdog against Alexander Zverev, but Popyrin will be brimming with confidence considering his record above the 49th parallel. A deep run in Canada would be just what the doctor ordered for Zverev, who is the No. 1 seed in this field with Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz not partaking, as he looks to stabilize himself after getting upset by World No. 72 Arthur Rinderknech in Round 1 at Wimbledon. Alexander Zverev in action against Francisco Cerundolo at ATP Canada. AP And even though the odds suggest that Zverev should win this match three times out of four, this is hardly a straightforward task. Not only is Popyrin undefeated in this event, but he's left some serious players in his wake. The 25-year-old has already defeated Holger Rune and Daniil Medvedev in this tournament, and he owns an impressive 13-16 record against top-10 opponents in his career. He's good value to add to that total on Monday. The Play: Alexei Popyrin +250 (bet365)
