AP Indiana Fever vs Connecticut Sun WNBA Game: Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark warms up before a WNBA basketball game against the Connecticut Sun, Tuesday, July 15, 2025, in Boston. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer) Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever star, who is suffering from a right groin injury, is set to miss her seventh straight game on Sunday (August 3, 2025). Her team, the Indiana Fever, is set to take on the Seattle Storm. Clark suffered an injury late in the Fever's win over the Connecticut Sun on July 15, 2025. According to CBS Sports, she does not have an official return timeline. The Fever, in an update released on July 24, 2025, said that Clark "underwent further medical evaluations, which confirmed that no additional injuries or damage were discovered."The team further stated that Clark will "continue working with the medical team on her recovery and rehabilitation, with the priority on her long-term health and well-being," according to CBS Sports. After the match on Sunday, the Fever are set to resume their four-game road trip to begin August with matchups against the Los Angeles Sparks and Phoenix Mercury. It's unclear if Clark will be cleared while they're away from home. Following a historic Rookie of the Year season, Clark's sophomore campaign has been badly affected due to injuries. She only managed to appear in 13 games due to a left quad strain that kept her out for three weeks, a left groin injury that sidelined her for two weeks, and now a right groin injury. She also missed out on the Commissioner's Cup championship and All-Star weekend in her adopted home city of Indianapolis. Speaking to Glamour over All-Star weekend, Clark said, "This is the first time I haven't felt like a young body that can run around and sprint every day and just continue to do that." "Being a professional athlete, you really have to take care of both your body and your mind; it's been a journey learning about that."
Clark has made just 7 of 49 three-point attempts over her last seven games and has gone without a three in three different matchups. This season, she's shooting 36.7% from the field and just 27.9% from beyond the arc. Despite her shooting struggles, Clark is still averaging 16.5 points, 5 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game, ranking second in the league.The 16-12 Fever struggled when Clark was out earlier in the season, but they've now won four straight games without her, going into Sunday, moving up to fifth place in the standings.

Gurriel singled off Padres starter JP Sears to drive in Ketel Marte and give Arizona a 1-0 lead in the first inning.

Cubs starter Michael Soroka headed to IL after just 2 innings with his new team.
CHICAGO — After just two innings with his new team, Chicago Cubs starter Michael Soroka is headed to the injured list with right shoulder discomfort. Cubs starter Michael Soroka headed to IL after just 2 innings with his new team. The right-hander left Monday night's 3-2 loss to Cincinnati after the second inning in his first appearance with the Cubs — and on his 28th birthday — since being acquired from Washington last Wednesday. 'He said he let a pitch go in the second inning and just didn't feel good,' manager Craig Counsell said. 'Finished the inning, but came into the dugout and said his shoulder was not feeling good, so it's an IL.' Soroka allowed one run and one hit — Tyler Stephenson's solo shot — and struck out three while walking one before being replaced by Ben Brown in the third inning. Soroka came in a trade from the Nationals for two minor leaguers to help fill a gap in Chicago's rotation, with ace left-hander Justin Steele out for the season and Jameson Taillon working his way back from a right calf strain. Counsell said he wasn't sure of the severity of the injury and that Soroka would undergo tests and examination. "I don't think we should speculate," Counsell said. 'It's an IL and the doctors will take a look and then we'll go from there.' Soroka, making his 17th start of the season, came in 3-8 with 4.87 ERA. The righty began his career with a bang, going 13-4 with a 2.68 ERA in an All-Star season with the Braves in 2019. But he tore his right Achilles tendon twice, causing him to miss the 2021 and 2022 seasons. In 2024 he was 0-10 with a 4.74 ERA for the crosstown White Sox as they set the modern-era record for losses in a season with 121. 'His velocity has gone a little bit backwards and he's trying to figure out how to address that,' Counsell said. 'I think he was very optimistic in the first couple days here that we could help him there and things could get better.'

Guardians reliever Nic Enright, battling lymphoma, earns emotional first save
NEW YORK — The first career save for Nic Enright was a particularly meaningful one. Guardians reliever Nic Enright, battling lymphoma, earns emotional first save Enright, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in late 2022 and is scheduled to complete his treatments later this year, allowed an unearned run in the 10th inning Monday night to close out the Cleveland Guardians' 7-6 win over the New York Mets. 'He was almost crying on the field just now,' Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said. 'If you read his story, it's pretty inspirational.' Cleveland selected Enright in the 20th round of the 2019 amateur draft out of Virginia Tech. He received his diagnosis Dec. 22, 2022 — 15 days after the Miami Marlins took him in the Rule 5 draft. After four rounds of immunotherapy in early 2023, Enright made nine minor league rehab appearances for the Marlins before being designated for assignment and returning to the Guardians in late May. He missed most of last season due to a right shoulder strain, but went 2-1 with a 1.06 ERA in 16 appearances with Triple-A Columbus. The right-hander has one more round of cancer treatment scheduled for November. 'I made the decision when I was diagnosed in 2022 with Hodgkin lymphoma that I wasn't going to let that define my life and dictate how I was going to go about my life,' Enright said. 'It's something where, for anyone else who is going through anything similar, I haven't just holed up in my house and felt sorry for myself this whole time.' Enright made his major league debut May 25 and has a 2.01 ERA in 19 appearances for the Guardians, whose bullpen is in flux with All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase on paid leave as part of a sports gambling investigation. Hunter Gaddis and Cade Smith pitched the eighth and ninth innings Monday before Enright entered with a two-run lead. He gave up a two-out RBI single to Brett Baty before retiring Luis Torrens on a fly out to the warning track in right. 'I definitely held my breath as I saw Nolan kind of keep running,' Enright said. 'But I had faith. As he kind of got closer to the wall, I realized it was losing steam.' Enright was showered with beer by teammates in the locker room. 'I was so happy, oh, I was going nuts in here,' Guardians starting pitcher Slade Cecconi said with a smile. 'I was going absolutely berserk. He came in running up the stairs, smile on his face.' Enright thanked his wife, his parents and the rest of his family for their support throughout an interview at his locker. He got the ball from the final out and plans to set aside his uniform and hat as well as a lineup card. 'Really, really cool,' Enright said. 'These last couple of years, especially, I've gone through a lot of adversity and just everything that's gone on. And so for me, it's being able to reflect on those in these moments. I think that helps being able to slow the game down. Because it hasn't exactly been a red-carpet rollout for my career trajectory.'
