Rays' Jonathan Aranda collides with Giancarlo Stanton and exits game
New York Yankees slugger Stanton hit a soft grounder in the fifth inning to Junior Caminero, who charged in on wet grass to make a throw. As Aranda fielded it, his left wrist appeared to collide with Stanton's left shoulder.
Aranda fell to the ground and shook his head while on his back. He was attended to by a trainer and manager Kevin Cash before walking off the field. Brandon Lowe moved over from second base to replace him.
Aranda is hitting .316 with 12 homers and 54 RBIs in 103 games this season. He hit an RBI single in Tampa Bay's four-run fourth off Marcus Stroman.
Aranda suffered the third injury of the day for the Rays, who entered 8-20 in their last 28 games.
Designated hitter Yandy Díaz was hit by a pitch in the first inning and exited with a bruised right forearm. He was replaced by Christopher Morel for his at-bat in the fourth.
Díaz is hitting .283 with 18 homers and 62 RBIs in 105 games this season and has primarily been a designated hitter this season.
The Rays also lost rookie outfielder Chandler Simpson to an undisclosed injury in the third. Simpson was playing left field and replaced by Jake Mangum after getting his left hand checked out.
Simpson is hitting .297 with 32 stolen bases in 65 games this season.

(Sourced) 'On July 29, 2025, Afrin braved the frigid waters at 11°C and fierce currents to complete the solo one-way swim from Dover (UK) to Cap Gris-Nez (France) at a stretch of 34-kilometre in 13 hours and 13 minutes, beginning at 3:45 AM London time. This remarkable feat places her in the elite ranks of international endurance swimmers and brings immense pride to AMU, her home state West Bengal, and India at large,' Sharma added. Flanked by her brother Adil Mohmmad (a PhD scholar in AMU's chemistry department) and her sister-in-law Rizwana Yasmeen (a gold medallist in nanotechnology at AMU), 21-year-old Afreen, holding the Indian Tricolour, said while speaking to AMU officials on Saturday, 'I am happy to have brought joy to my nation, university and family, who always support me in pursuing my dreams.' AMU vice chancellor Prof Naima Khatoon hailed her achievement as a moment of 'collective celebration and pride'. She said: 'Afrin's extraordinary spirit will inspire generations of AMU students. She has initiated a journey that will be taken up by many more talented students.' Prof Ikram Husain, dean, faculty of social sciences and the chairperson, department of physical education congratulated Afrin for her remarkable achievement and expressed hope that her education at AMU will ensure many more such laurels in her life. Omar Peerzada, the spokesperson for AMU, said Afrin and her brother are still in the UK and they will be back to Aligarh soon. She congratulated them over the phone and conveyed the best wishes on behalf of the university fraternity. Coming from a humble background in Paschim Medinipur, Afrin's journey is a stirring testament to perseverance, discipline, and unyielding ambition. She had represented Vidyasagar University three times at the All-India Inter-University Aquatic Championships, competed twice for West Bengal at the national level and conquered demanding long-distance swims spanning 13-km, 21-km, and 24- km. Her most remarkable pre-AMU achievement was securing 2nd position among girls in the world's longest swimming event—an 81-km marathon in the Ganga.

World Swimming Championships 2025: Ledecky pips McIntosh for 800m freestyle title; USA sets new world record
Katie Ledecky showed she is still the gold standard in the 800 metres freestyle after ending Summer McIntosh's bid for five individual titles while fending off Australian surprise package Lani Pallister at the world championships on Saturday. American Ledecky had to fight all the way in a thrilling three-way battle to secure her seventh world title in the event and 23rd overall in a time of 8:05.62 at the Singapore pool. With three gold medals in the bag and grinding through a huge programme, McIntosh mounted a brave challenge and took the lead with 100 metres to go as fans roared in the stands. But Ledecky found another gear to snatch back the lead then rode home with the gallant Pallister (8:05.98) pushing her to the finish.

'Definitely the fastest field in the 800 ever ... I'm happy I could come out on top.' McIntosh, who finished 1.67 seconds behind Ledecky, had hoped to match Michael Phelps's feat of winning five individual gold medals at a single world championships. But the 18-year-old Canadian can finish off a brilliant campaign with gold in the 400 individual medley (IM) on the final day on Sunday. Record-breaking relay While McIntosh may one day be held in the same esteem as nine-time Olympic gold medallist Ledecky, Australia's Kaylee McKeown has already cemented her place as the greatest backstroker in women's swimming. ALSO READ | United States breaks mixed 4x100m freestyle relay world record The only woman to win back-to-back Olympic 100m and 200m backstroke golds, McKeown completed another double in Singapore with an emphatic win in the 200m. Once again it was American Regan Smith looking to take down McKeown, only to be reeled in on the last lap as the Australian dominator clocked 2:03.33, the third fastest swim of all time. It was nearly a second better than Smith (2:04.29), who had taken silver behind McKeown in the 100m and 200m at the Paris Olympics and again in the 100m in Singapore. Fastest off the blocks, McEvoy once again denied Ben Proud (21.26) gold, having beaten the Briton to the Olympic title by a fingertip in Paris exactly a year ago. | Photo Credit: AP Just like in Paris, McKeown's win came straight after compatriot Cameron McEvoy stormed to his second 50m freestyle title in 21.14 seconds, becoming the oldest Australian world champion at the age of 31. Fastest off the blocks, McEvoy once again denied Ben Proud (21.26) gold, having beaten the Briton to the Olympic title by a fingertip in Paris exactly a year ago. Leon Marchand and his 200m IM world record was one of the biggest headlines from the Singapore meet but another Frenchman grabbed the spotlight on Saturday. Maxime Grousset rocketed to his second 100m butterfly world title in 49.62, beating Swiss Noe Ponti and recording the third quickest swim of all-time in the event. Only American world record holder Caeleb Dressel (49.45) has gone faster. It was Grousset's second butterfly title in Singapore, having also beaten Ponti for the 50m on day two. Gretchen Walsh kept the U.S. team medal haul ticking upwards with a dominant victory in the 50m butterfly, adding to her 100m title in Singapore. Touching the wall in 24.83 seconds, Walsh was nearly half a second better than runner-up Alex Perkins, who set an Australian record of 25.31. There was more cheer for the United States as Jack Alexy, Patrick Sammon, Kate Douglass and Torri Huske combined to win the non-Olympic mixed 4x100m freestyle relay gold in a world record time of 3:18.83, shaving nearly half a second off Australia's mark from the event two years ago in Fukuoka (3:18.83). Marchand, the 'French Phelps', will look to add the 400m IM title to his 200m IM gold on the final day. | Photo Credit: Getty Images Apart from McIntosh's 400m IM title bid, there are seven other gold medals on offer in a packed programme on the final day. Marchand, the 'French Phelps', will look to add the 400m IM title to his 200m IM gold, while German iron man Florian Wellbrock will gun for the 1500m freestyle title to boost his bumper haul after sweeping the open water events.

Steven Kwan feeling the love as Guardians host Twins
Guardians fans made sure that Steven Kwan knew they were happy he was still in Cleveland after he was the subject of trade-deadline speculation. The All-Star left fielder was showered with cheers and chants of "Kwan, Kwan, Kwan" each time he batted Friday in a 3-2, 10-inning win over the visiting Minnesota Twins. More of the same should be in store Saturday, when Tanner Bibee (7-9, 4.39 ERA) of the Guardians starts the middle contest of the three-game set against fellow right-hander Bailey Ober (4-6, 5.28). Kwan should be in his usual spot atop the lineup, just where the franchise hopes he will remain for the long term after Cleveland team president Chris Antonetti turned down multiple strong trade offers for him. "It was super special with the fans and the chanting out in left field tonight," said Kwan, who went 2-for-5 with a run and his major-league-leading 10th outfield assist. "I don't know if I deserve it, but I'm super grateful for all of it." Negotiations on a contract extension between the sides ceased at the end of spring training, per Guardians owner Paul Dolan's long-standing policy. Kwan has expressed interest in reopening the talks, even though he is under club control through 2027. Antonetti also indicated that Dolan's policy is not set in stone, opening the door for in-season communication while Cleveland pursues an American League wild-card berth. "I'm hoping we can stay here a long time," said Kwan, who is batting .316 with three homers and six RBIs during a nine-game hitting streak and .287 for the season. "I love this city, love this organization. I just really want to win for them and get in the postseason." Bibee has been strong against Minnesota, posting a 2-0 record and 2.51 ERA over eight career starts. He also is turning around his season with three straight victories and has a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 17-to-2 during the surge. Gavin Williams began the series on a great note for Cleveland, striking out eight over six scoreless innings but walked away with a no-decision. His 6-4 overall record should be much better, but the Guardians' bullpen has wasted all three of his six-plus-inning scoreless outings in 2025. "I think the confidence has always been there," said Williams, who has a 2.75 ERA in 16 starts since May 3. "Last year, I barely got into the fifth inning, so as much as I can go deeper in games, it helps the pen for the next day and saves those guys, too." The Twins should receive a psychological boost, along with a competitive lift, with Ober set to be activated from the 15-day injured list after missing a month with left hip impingement. The 6-foot-9 Ober was one of 10 Minnesota players who spent Thursday together in a room at their downtown Cleveland hotel, waiting for word about how many trades the Twins would make. The answer was nine in a 24-hour span. "A lot of guys who were on our '23 (playoff) run aren't here anymore because of the trades, so that hurt," Ober said. "The business side of baseball sometimes shows its ugly face. It was surreal watching what happened." Ober is 3-2 with a 2.10 ERA in 10 career starts against Cleveland but had a terrible June, losing all five outings while giving up 30 runs in 30 innings. All-Star center fielder Byron Buxton, the unquestioned leader of the Twins, could rejoin the active roster when eligible on Aug. 7. Manager Rocco Baldelli said Buxton's rib-cage inflammation is not severe. "We're here to win, let me be clear," Baldelli said. "The locker room looks different, the team looks different, the lineup is different, but let's go to work."
