TORONTO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs have reinstated catcher Miguel Amaya and right-hander Javier Assad from the 60-day injured list. Chicago also optioned right-hander Nate Pearson to Triple-A Iowa and designated infielder Jon Berti for assignment in moves announced before Tuesday's game at Toronto. Assad was slated to start the series opener against the AL East-leading Blue Jays. The 26-year-old Amaya had been on the injured list since May 25 with a left oblique strain. He hit .280 with four homers and 25 RBIs in 27 games prior to the injury. The addition of Amaya gives Chicago three catchers on its active roster.

Hungary's Halász avenges Olympic hammer throw loss to Katzberg, beating Canadian on home soil
Social Sharing Hungarian hammer thrower Bence Halász delivered a personal best and meet record before a home crowd to beat Ethan Katzberg, the reigning Canadian Olympic champion, on a hot and humid Tuesday evening in Budapest. Halász, who was second to Katzberg at the Summer Games last August, topped his opponent on the third attempt at the Hungarian Athletics Grand Prix and never looked back, finishing with a best throw of 83.18 metres. His previous PB of 81.94 was set Aug. 2 at the Hungarian championships in Budapest. Katzberg was seeking a repeat of last year's victory when he threw 81.87 and held the early advantage Tuesday by throwing 80.31 on his first try and 81.01 on his third of six attempts in Budapest, where the temperature reached 31 C. The Nanaimo, B.C., native's best of 81.88 came two throws later and placed him second. It was his furthest in five events since his 82.73 season best to win at the Kip Keino Classic in Nairobi, Kenya. Katzberg, the world's top-ranked men's hammer thrower, won his first five competitions this season but American Rudy Winkler snapped the streak on July 5 at the Prefontaine Classic Diamond League track and field meet in Eugene, Ore., where the Canadian was second.

Ten days ago, Katzberg was victorious over Jeremiah Nubbe at the Canadian championships in Ottawa. Katzberg set the Canadian record of 84.38 on April 20, 2024, and the national championship record of 82.60 on June 26, 2024.

His winning throw of 84.12 was 26 centimetres short of the national and area (North and Central America and Caribbean) mark of 84.38. A year earlier, Katzberg was the first Canadian to win a world title in hammer throw, a few days ahead of teammate Camryn Rogers's victory in the women's event in Budapest. 2nd Canadian hurdles title in 3 years Tuesday's meet was supposed to be a tune-up for Canadian hurdler Savannah Sutherland ahead of her scheduled Diamond League debut on Friday in Silesia, Poland, but she didn't take the line for the women's 400-metre event. The 22-year-old from Borden, Sask., was coming off her second national title win in three years. Sutherland, who attends the University of Michigan, ran a Canadian-record 52.46 seconds to victory at the NCAA outdoor track and field championships on June 14. It is not only a meet record but an NCAA and Big Ten mark and ninth-fastest time ever recorded in the event. On July 13, she ran 50.62 in the 400 flat race in Edmonton to automatically qualify for the Sept. 13-21 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. Sutherland announced she signed a pro contract with Adidas two days earlier. Around the same time, Sutherland was named one of three women's finalists for The Bowerman, awarded annually to the most outstanding athletes in U.S. collegiate track and field. The winner will be announced Dec. 18 at the United States Track & Field and Cross-Country Coaches Association convention in Grapevine, Texas.

He also considered debuting in New York, Chicago or the California International Marathon but wanted to target a national title. "Super excited about racing Toronto. [My decision] mostly had to do with racing at home. And [Toronto] lined up well with my personal goals for the marathon debut," Flanagan told CBC Sports. Flanagan hasn't raced since placing seventh in the New York City Half Marathon on March 16. His daughter Nora was born shortly after, and then Flanagan had hoped to enter an extended block of marathon training.

He won the men's elite 11.3 km race in his 2022 debut and was seventh last year. "Unfortunately, I'm not in competitive form, and the main priority is being ready for Toronto," he said.

Sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson addresses domestic violence arrest and apologizes to boyfriend
Sha'Carri Richardson reacts after the first heat of the women's 200-meter semifinal at the U.S. Championships athletics meet in Eugene, Ore., Sunday, Aug. 3, 2025. (AP Photo/Abbie Parr) Sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson addressed her recent domestic violence arrest in a video on social media and issued an apology to her boyfriend Christian Coleman. Richardson posted a video on her Instagram account Monday night in which she said she put herself in a 'compromised situation.' She issued a written apology to Coleman on Tuesday morning. 'I love him & to him I can't apologize enough,' the reigning 100-meter world champion wrote in all capital letters on Instagram, adding that her apology 'should be just as loud' as her 'actions.' 'To Christian I love you & I am so sorry,' she wrote. Richardson was arrested July 27 on a fourth-degree domestic violence offence for allegedly assaulting Coleman at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. She was booked into South Correctional Entity in Des Moines, Washington, for more than 18 hours. Her arrest was days before she ran the 100 meters at the U.S. championships in Eugene, Oregon. In the video, Richardson said she's practicing 'self-reflection' and refuses 'to run away but face everything that comes to me head on.' According to the police report, an officer at the airport was notified by a Transportation Security Administration supervisor of a disturbance between Richardson and her boyfriend, Coleman, the 2019 world 100-meter champion. The officer reviewed camera footage and observed Richardson reach out with her left arm and grab Coleman's backpack and yank it away. Richardson then appeared to get in Coleman's way with Coleman trying to step around her. Coleman was shoved into a wall. Later in the report, it said Richardson appeared to throw an item at Coleman, with the TSA indicating it may have been headphones. The officer said in the report: 'I was told Coleman did not want to participate any further in the investigation and declined to be a victim.' A message was left with Coleman from The Associated Press. Richardson wrote that Coleman 'came into my life & gave me more than a relationship but a greater understanding of unconditional love from what I've experienced in my past.' She won the 100 at the 2023 world championships in Budapest and finished with the silver at the Paris Games last summer. She also helped the 4x100 relay to an Olympic gold. She didn't compete during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 following a positive marijuana test at the U.S. Olympic trials. ___ Pat Graham, The Associated Press
