Daxton Bennick suffers a compression fracture of a vertebra in Philadelphia crash
The timeline for his return to racing has not been announced.
'Happy to be somewhat ok from the crash in Philly,' Bennick posted on social media. "[I] got cross-jumped pretty hard after a bad start in the main, just trying to get through the pack. I [suffered a] compression fracture [of] a vertebra in my back and was knocked out for a short amount of time. Me and the team are gonna start working on a plan to get my recovery going and to come back when I'm ready. I have a great group around me and wanna say thanks to everyone reaching out.'
The compression fracture will not require surgery.
Bennick entered Philadelphia with back-to-back top-five finishes in Birmingham, Alabama, and Foxborough, Massachusetts. His best finish of the season was a second in the 250 East season-opener in Tampa, Florida.
Bennick was eighth in the 250 East standings before the crash, one point behind the injured Max Anstie and four behind Nate Thrasher for sixth in the standings.
The injury report from the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing team also referenced the concussion he suffered.

Mets' Francisco Alvarez missing time with injury could ‘throw him off for the rest of the year'
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free The Mets hadn't announced the results of Francisco Alvarez's MRI exam as of Monday, a day after the catcher suffered an injury to his right thumb while diving into second base during Sunday's win over Seattle, but they know how much they can't afford to lose him for an extended period of time. Unfortunately, they've had experience with that before, a history Carlos Mendoza noted Sunday night, when he acknowledged there was 'concern' over the thumb. Alvarez had surgery on his left thumb last year after bracing himself when he fell on the bases and fractured his hamate bone on a swing this spring. Both injuries have been a part of a downward trajectory in Alvarez's young career that resulted in him being optioned to Triple-A Syracuse in June. But after compiling an OPS of just .652 through 35 games before being sent to Syracuse, Alvarez returned with a flourish a month later. Following Sunday's three-hit game, Alvarez had an OPS of 1.054 with 11 extra-base hits in 21 games since being recalled. And he'd been even hotter of late, going 9-for-20 with six extra-base hits in his past five starts behind the plate. 'Whatever he did in the minors — or whatever they did with him — worked,' one National League scout said Monday. 'But something like this could throw him off for the rest of the year. We've seen it with him before. It can take him a while to get going again.' Without Alvarez, the Mets would have to turn again to Luis Torrens, a capable backup, but of the 36 catchers with at least 220 plate appearances this season, just two have a lower OPS than Torrens' .581. The Mets likely can't afford any more slips, given their place in the standings. They entered Monday in second place in the NL East and third in the wild-card standings and begin a three-game series against the last-place Nationals in Washington on Tuesday, followed by three at fourth-place Atlanta. Then they have to host the first-place Phillies and third-place Marlins before trips to front-running Detroit, as well as Cincinnati and Philadelphia. Francisco Lindor was named NL Player of the Week on Monday. The shortstop had gone hitless in five straight games, part of an 0-for-21 skid, before he snapped out of it Aug. 12 against the Braves. And over his past five games, Lindor has done nothing but hit. He's had five consecutive multi-hit games, going 13-for-21 with three doubles, three homers, seven RBIs, two walks and a pair of stolen bases. The Mets lost three of those five games, but typically, Lindor's success at the plate mirrors that of the team. CHECK OUT THE AND In wins this season, he has an OPS of .991, compared to .535 in losses. The Mets announced Monday they requested waivers to grant Paul Blackburn his unconditional release. Blackburn had been designated for assignment to open a roster spot for Nolan McLean. Acquired a year ago from the A's, Blackburn was sidelined by right knee inflammation and didn't make his season debut until June 2. He had a 6.85 ERA in seven games, four starts.

PGA Tour releases full 2026 schedule
It is a busy week for the PGA Tour. This week brings with it the final event of the FedExCup Playoffs with everyone congregating at East Lake to crown a winner on the season (however you define that). Scottie Scheffler won the Tour's latest event in the BMW Championship, a pretty normal occurrence, and soon enough all eyes will be set on the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. When the dust finally settles there the offseason will arrive and attention will turn to the 2026 season. The PGA Tour announced their schedule for 2026 on Tuesday and is making a return to Trump National Doral for its Miami Championship. That particular event will round out the month of May , but it will notably serve as one of the Tour's Signature Events on the season. There are eight of them in 2026. Obviously there is a lot of time between now and 2026, but if you are looking to make plans you now can do so at your own leisure.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. exits with hamstring tightness in potential Blue Jays injury concern
Just as the Yankees won back-to-back series and started to chip away at the Blue Jays' American League East lead, Toronto might have a Vladimir Guerrero Jr. injury to worry about. Guerrero, the Blue Jays' superstar first baseman, exited Monday's game after the sixth inning with hamstring tightness and will undergo an MRI exam, manager John Schneider said postgame. 'Hopefully he's good to go in the next day or two,' Schneider said, according to The Athletic, 'but he's obviously really important.' Advertisement 3 Vladimir Guerrero Jr. drives in a run for the Blue Jays during their Aug. 18 game. Getty Images Schenider said the injury occurred when Guerrero was making a split in the field in the third inning, but the broadcast also captured him talking to someone in the dugout during the first inning while pointing at his left hamstring. Guerrero's acrobatic play in the third occurred on a throw from shortstop Bo Bichette to first base, helping the Blue Jays record an out with the Pirates' Jared Triolo running.

IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Ty France replaced Guerrero — who has appeared in 124 of the Blue Jays' 126 games in 2025 — in the lineup for the remainder of the game. While the severity will remain unclear until the results of the MRI exam, any time Guerrero misses with the injury would be devastating for a Toronto team that holds a five-game lead in the East over the Yankees and Red Sox after falling, 5-2, to Pittsburgh. 3 Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singles during the Blue Jays' Aug. 17 game. Imagn Images Advertisement Guerrero, who signed a 14-year, $500 million extension in April, had hit .300 with an .898 OPS, 21 homers and 68 RBIs this season entering Monday, when he struck out in his first at-bat before driving in a run — via a groundout — two frames later. After a slow start to the year, the Blue Jays pieced together one of the best stretches in the majors this season to surge past the Yankees in the division standings and build an advantage ahead of the stretch run. But the Yankees, following a brutal two months, have finally uncovered a bit of momentum, as they swept the Cardinals over the weekend after taking two of three games from the Twins. They start a two-game set with the Rays on Tuesday in Tampa, while the Blue Jays — as they hold their breath about Guerrero's status — continue a series with Pittsburgh.
