Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman has bounced back from a five-walk outing with one strikeout after another
By Baseball Columnist Mike Wilner is a Toronto-based baseball columnist for the Star and host of the baseball podcast 'Deep Left Field.' Follow him on Bluesky: @wilnerness Nobody ever said being the closer was easy. The expectation is perfection. Anything less, especially for someone new to a team, gets the fans riled up and leads to questions about whether there needs to be somebody else in the role. Jeff Hoffman's last blown save fanned those flames awfully hard. After not having pitched in a week, he came in to protect a one-run lead with two on and two out in the eighth inning in Los Angeles on Aug. 10 and proceeded to walk the first two batters he faced, handing the Dodgers the tying run.

Santos fires coach and Neymar in tears after 6-0 loss at home
SAO PAULO (AP) — Santos fired its coach, Cleber Xavier, after a 6-0 home loss Sunday to Vasco Da Gama that saw Neymar leave the field in tears after the match. 'The club thanks the coach for the services provided,' Santos said of Xavier, who only took over in April, 'and wishes him luck in the continuation of his career.' The result left Santos — famously the club of Brazil great Pele and now Neymar — in 15th place in the 20-team Brazilian top flight, two points above the relegation zone. Neymar was consoled on the field by a member of Santos' backroom staff after a game that saw Vasco's Philippe Coutinho score twice. The 33-year-old Neymar, the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star, returned to his boyhood club in January after an underwhelming spell in Saudi Arabia and signed a contract extension in June keeping him at Santos until the end of the year. ___ AP soccer:

Sébastien Haller leaves Dortmund for Utrecht after stint marked by cancer recovery and near-misses
DORTMUND, Germany (AP) — Sébastien Haller's eventful three years at Borussia Dortmund ended Monday with a transfer to Dutch club Utrecht. It ended a stint with the German club which began with a cancer diagnosis but during his time there Haller almost won the Bundesliga, reached the final of the Champions League, and won the African Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast. He found himself increasingly sidelined at Dortmund, though, and spent last season on loan. 'Sébastien has written a special story here,' Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl said in a statement Monday. Weeks after signing for Dortmund in 2022, and before playing a game, Haller was diagnosed with a testicular tumor during the team's preseason camp. After two operations and a course of chemotherapy, he returned to action just six months later. Nine Bundesliga goals from Haller in the second half of the 2022-23 season put Dortmund on the verge of a long-awaited Bundesliga title but the team fell short in the final minutes of the season. Injuries and inconsistent form meant Haller's role in the Champions League final a year later was as a late substitute when Dortmund lost 2-0 to Real Madrid. It was to be his last game for Dortmund before loans last season with Leganes in Spain and then Utrecht. Haller returns on a one-season contract to familiar surroundings at Utrecht, where his prolific scoring a decade ago helped to launch his career. He scored six times in 18 games on loan there last season to help the team finish fourth in the Dutch league, which put the team into the Europa League qualifying rounds.
