Tom Rafferty, an offensive lineman who won a Super Bowl with the Cowboys, dies at 70
WINDSOR, Colo. (AP) — Tom Rafferty, an offensive lineman who won a Super Bowl and played with two Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterbacks in Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman over 14 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, has died. He was 70. Rafferty died Thursday in Windsor, Colorado, where he had been hospitalized since early May following a stroke, his daughter, Rachel Powers, told The Dallas Morning News. A year after getting drafted out of Penn State, Rafferty's first season as a starter was at right guard in 1977, which ended with the Cowboys' 27-10 victory over Denver in Super Bowl 12. He played the same position a year later when the Cowboys lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers 35-31 in the title game. After a move to center, Rafferty threw one of the key blocks on Tony Dorsett's record 99-yard touchdown run in a 31-27 loss at Minnesota on Jan. 3, 1983. Dallas had 10 men on the field for that famous play. Rafferty's final season was Aikman's rookie year in 1989, when he started eight games at center for a 1-15 team. Rafferty is one of 12 Dallas players to spend at least 14 seasons with the franchise. He was teammates with seven players on that list. ___ AP NFL:

Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes to undergo Tommy John surgery, ending his season
Arizona Diamondback right-hander Corbin Burnes will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery next week, and his recovery could cause him to miss most or all of next season as well, manager Torey Lovullo told reporters on Friday. The Diamondbacks placed Burnes on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday with elbow inflammation after he exited Sunday's start against the Washington Nationals in the top of the fifth after experiencing tightness in his throwing elbow. Burnes signed a six-year, $210 million contract in December. He went 3-2 in his first season with the Diamondbacks with a 2.66 ERA. He came to Arizona as one of the league's most durable pitchers, with at least 28 starts in each of the past four seasons.
