Diamondbacks All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte placed on restricted list following burglary
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte was placed on the restricted list Friday after his home was burglarized during the All-Star break.
Marte was not in the lineup Friday night gainst St. Louis as he deals with what Scottsdale police called a 'high-dollar residential burglary' while he and his family were in Atlanta for the All-Star game.
'He's dealing with a personal issue, so he asked for some time off, time away, just to get grounded and get himself back to where he can come back here and play and be a force for us," Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. 'So it's kind of a day-to-day situation.'
The Diamondbacks made a flurry of moves before their first game back from the All-Star break, bringing up catcher Adrian Del Castillo and right-hander Trevor Richards from Triple-A Reno. Arizona also optioned infielder Tristan English to Reno and signed infielder Sergio Alcántara as a major league free agent.
Catcher Gabriel Moreno was transferred to the 60-day injured list with a broken finger suffered when he was hit by a pitch last month.

Astros All-Star Isaac Paredes forgoes surgery on 'severe' hamstring injury in hopes of returning this season
Houston Astros All-Star third baseman Isaac Paredes has opted to forgo surgery on what the team described as a "severe" hamstring injury in hopes of returning to the lineup this season. General manager Dana Brown discussed the decision with reporters Monday. He said that Paredes had the option of undergoing surgery that would require six months off and end his season or to go through rehab, which would give him a chance to return to the lineup with the Astros in position to make the playoffs. 'He was given two choices — the choice of having surgery or rehabbing,' Brown said, per the Houston Chronicle. 'He selected to rehab it. His whole opinion on this is he wants to work hard to try to get back this season." Paredes sustained his injury while running the bases against the Seattle Mariners on July 19. He went through multiple rounds of imaging to diagnose the injury that Brown said Monday was a 'severe hamstring strain." Paredes also had a platelet-rich plasma injection and will continue to rest the injury before starting a rehab regimen. Before his injury, Paredes was slashing .259/.359/.470 with 19 home runs and 50 RBI. His effort earned him his second career All-Star Game selection in July. With Paredes injured, the Astros bolstered their infield by reuniting with shortstop Carlos Correa via a trade-deadline deal with the Minnesota Twins. They also added utility infielder Ramón Urías from the Baltimore Orioles. Brown called the potential surplus of infielders in the event of Paredes' return "a good problem to have." Houston entered Monday at 63-50 and with a three-game lead over the Seattle Mariners for first place in the AL West.

Kayla McBride Sets WNBA Ablaze With Historic Game Against Aces
Kayla McBride Sets WNBA Ablaze With Historic Game Against Aces originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Minnesota Lynx carried a 23-5 record into Saturday's matchup against the Las Vegas Aces at Michelob ULTRA Arena. The Aces, who won both the 2022 and 2023 WNBA championships, are off to a 14-13 start and sit in eighth in the league standings. Minnesota got off to a hot start against Las Vegas, scoring 67 first-half points and holding the Aces to just 33. Their largest lead was 37, but they carried a 34-point advantage into halftime. One of the key reasons for this lopsided lead is that the Lynx made 13 three-pointers in the first half, whereas Las Vegas made just four. The Lynx also made 13-of-14 attempts from beyond the arc, good for 92.9%. Kayla McBride Sets WNBA Record Against Las Vegas Aces 12-year veteran and five-time WNBA All-Star guard Kayla McBride was the chief contributor to this blazing shooting percentage, as she went 8-for-8 from the three-point line in the first half of the contest. Not only did she contribute 24 points for the Lynx in just 18 minutes, in addition to four assists, two rebounds and two steals, but her eight made three-pointers without a miss in one half was a WNBA record. This also tied her personal WNBA record for most made three-pointers in a game. However, she was able to accomplish this feat in just one half against the Aces during Saturday's game. WNBA Fans React to Kayla McBride's Historic Half Against Aces WNBA fans were in awe of McBride's shooting spectacle in Las Vegas and took to social media to convey their feelings about the historic performance. "Kayla McBride being 8/8 from 3 is nuts 😭😭😭😭," one fan wrote. "Smacking the Aces." "So Basically Kayla McBride is Steph Curry's Female Counterpart ??" another fan commented. "McBride cooking them BY HERSELF. 8-8 3pt is crazy," a fan chimed in. "Kayla McBride snappin rn. 8 3's at half and she's didn't miss 1," another story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 2, 2025, where it first appeared.
