All-Star Corbin Burnes set for Tommy John surgery, ending his 1st season in Arizona
CINCINNATI (AP) — All-Star right-hander Corbin Burnes of the Arizona Diamondbacks is set to undergo Tommy John elbow surgery, ending his season early in the first year of a $210 million, six-year contract.
Manager Torey Lovullo said Friday the decision was made with 'a lot of people weighing in.' Lovullo said the surgery probably would be scheduled for next week.
The announcement came three days after the Diamondbacks put
Burnes on the 15-day injured list
with right elbow inflammation.
The 30-year-old left his most recent start
with Arizona leading 3-0 in the top of the fifth inning Sunday. After Burnes allowed a single by CJ Abrams with two outs, he gestured toward the dugout with his glove and yelled in frustration.
Burnes allowed a run and four hits in 4 2/3 innings. He is 3-2 with a 2.66 ERA in 11 starts this season.
Burnes signed with the Diamondbacks after earning his fourth consecutive All-Star nod in his only season with Baltimore last year. He spent his first six years with Milwaukee before an offseason trade to the Orioles in early 2024.
'This is a tough day to get this news,' Lovullo said. 'But we'll find a way to rally around him, play hard for him all year long.'

Paige Bueckers' Teammate Turns Heads With Actions During Dallas Wings Game
Paige Bueckers' Teammate Turns Heads With Actions During Dallas Wings Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Sparks improved to a 3-6 record on Friday by getting past the Dallas Wings by a final score of 93-79. Paige Bueckers, the highly regarded Wings rookie out of UConn, was out of action once again as she remains in concussion protocol, giving the Sparks a significant advantage. Advertisement Late in the third quarter, there was a dirty act that marred this game. DiJonai Carrington, a guard for the Wings, yanked down Sarah Ashlee Barker of the Sparks by the hair. Carrington was called for a loose ball foul, and Ashlee Barker made both of the ensuing free throws to put L.A. ahead 67-53. Fans reacted on X to the play. "You know she gonna do worst to Clark when Fever and Wings match up," one fan wrote. "'If she would have had extensions, they'd have come off.' 😭😬 He's not joking," another user wrote. "Draymond Green of the WNBA," one user quipped. "There's just no justifying this," a fourth user wrote. "Gonna be interesting how she defends this later tonight with 'hustle' and 'passion'" "She's such a loser," a fifth user wrote. "How is she not tossed for that?" another user asked. Carrington ended up with 16 points, four rebounds, four assists and seven turnovers. Ashlee Barker contributed four points, three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 15 minutes. Dallas Wings guard DiJonai Carrington (21).Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images Los Angeles had all five of its starters score in double figures. Veteran forward Azura Stevens led the way with 21 points on 8-of-11 shooting, plus six rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals. Advertisement The Sparks have been looking to return to respectability after missing the playoffs in each of the last four seasons. They went 8-32 last season, which was the WNBA's worst record, but the offseason acquisition of three-time All-Star guard Kelsey Plum gave them some hope that they could be competitive this year. The Wings, meanwhile, dropped to 1-8 with this loss. They went 9-31 last year, which earned them the right to take Bueckers with the No. 1 pick in this year's draft.

Trump attends UFC championship fight in New Jersey, taking a break from Musk feud for cage fights
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — President Donald Trump walked out to a thunderous standing ovation just ahead of the start of the UFC pay-per-view card at the Prudential Center on Saturday night, putting his public feud with tech billionaire Elon Musk on hold to instead watch the fierce battles inside the cage. Trump was accompanied by UFC President Dana White and the pair headed to their cageside seats for UFC 316 to Kid Rock's 'American Bad Ass.' Trump and White did the same for UFC's card last November at Madison Square Garden, only then they were joined by Musk. Trump shook hands with fans and supporters — a heavyweight lineup that included retired boxing great Mike Tyson — on his way to the cage. Trump was joined by his daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, along with son Eric Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Trump shook hands with the UFC broadcast team that included Joe Rogan. Rogan hosted Trump on his podcast for hours in the final stages of the campaign last year. UFC fans went wild for Trump and held mobile devices in their outstretched arms to snap pictures of him. Trump is a longtime UFC enthusiast and frequent attendee of major fights. Trump arrived in time for the start of a card set to include two championship fights . Julianna Peña and Merab Dvalishvili were scheduled to each defend their 135-pound championships. UFC fighter Kevin Holland choked out Vicente Luque to win the first fight with Trump in the building. He scaled the cage and shook hands with Trump. He briefly chatted with Trump and White before he returned for his post-fight interview. Trump has been close to White for more than two decades. White hosted a 2001 UFC battle at Trump Taj Mahal, a former casino-hotel in Atlantic City, and Trump has frequently attended UFC matches since — including during his 2024 campaign. Trump has turned up at fights recently with famous entourages , including White, musician Kid Rock and former Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson. Trump and White's alliance has yielded dividends for both parties. White stumped for Trump at Republican conventions while men who soak up fight nights threw their support behind Trump in the elections. ___ AP sports: Error!

Fantasy baseball: Stashing prospects can be solid strategy — but don't bank on it
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Prospect fever is real. Every season, fantasy baseball managers scour minor league boxscores and prospect rankings in hopes of discovering the next big breakout star before anyone else. Though this strategy can pay off, stashing rookies on your fantasy roster is trickier than it seems — especially when roster spots are limited and immediate playing time isn't guaranteed. Talent alone isn't enough, opportunity is just as important. Take, for instance, top prospect Matt Shaw. He is loaded with upside, but what makes him an appealing stash is his clear path to at-bats. An infielder in the Cubs organization, Shaw has surged through the system and is knocking on the door with little in his way at second base or third, depending on team needs. Matt Shaw hits a single in the ninth inning of the Cubs' road loss to the Nationals on June 5, 2025. AP When a rookie's timeline aligns with organizational need, stashing makes sense — even if the player is not on the roster yet. Nevertheless, many prospects, even those producing elite numbers in Triple-A, are stuck behind established big leaguers. Case in point: Jordan Lawlar. Lawlar, one of the most talented young infielders in the game, is raking at Triple-A Reno. His numbers are fantasy gold — .339/.419/.583 with seven home runs, 37 RBIs and 13 stolen bases. But there is one big problem: There is no room for him in Arizona's infield. Ketel Marte is an All-Star at second, Geraldo Perdomo is quietly excelling at shortstop, and Eugenio Suárez remains a productive veteran at third. Lawlar's recent eight-game MLB call-up underscored the issue — he barely saw the field and was quickly sent back to the minors. As long as the Diamondbacks remain healthy and competitive, Lawlar's fantasy impact will remain limited — regardless of how ready he looks in the minors. Roman Anthony runs to first base during a Red Sox spring training game against Mexico's Sultanes on March 24, 2025. AFP via Getty Images Another prime example is Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony. The 20-year-old is drawing attention with his high OBP and emerging power — .291/.422/.485 with nine homers and three steals at Triple-A Worcester. From a raw talent perspective, Anthony looks like a future star. But Boston's outfield is crowded. Ceddanne Rafaela is a regular in center field, Wilyer Abreu is playing well in right, and Jarren Duran has secured left field. Unless the Red Sox make a trade, shift Rafael Devers to first base (which opens up the DH spot or third), or move Rafaela to shortstop (pushing Trevor Story off the field), there is no room for Anthony to see regular big league at-bats. In redraft leagues, wasting a roster spot on a stash with no clear timetable for promotion is dangerous. Roster flexibility is critical, especially during the long grind of the fantasy season, when injuries and slumps require constant adjustments. Learn all you need to know about MLB Betting The bottom line: Fantasy managers need to weigh not just talent but opportunity. Stashing a prospect like Matt Shaw? Go for it. But holding onto Jordan Lawlar or Roman Anthony in standard formats may do more harm than good — at least for now.
