The world No. 2 announced his withdrawal the day after top-ranked Jannik Sinner, 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, and world No. 5 Jack Draper pulled out of the ATP Masters-level hardcourt event. Sinner, who defeated Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final, said he injured his elbow in a fall at the All England Club. He won his first Masters title in Toronto in 2023. 'Winning that title in Toronto two years ago was the start of a really special moment for me, but after speaking with my team, I have to recover,' Sinner said. Djokovic blamed a groin injury for his withdrawal from an event he has won four times, while Draper is recovering from a forearm injury. The women's NBO tournament in Montreal has also had high-profile players withdraw, including world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. The NBO tournaments start Saturday with one-day qualifying events.

Texas Rangers put reliever Chris Martin on IL and bring 3B Josh Jung back
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Veteran reliever Chris Martin is expected to miss at least a month for the Rangers after being put on the injured list because of a left calf strain Monday, the same day Texas brought third baseman Josh Jung back to the majors. 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.
