Blue Jays place reliever Yimi García on 15-day IL with right shoulder impingement
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays put reliever Yimi García on the 15-day injured list on Saturday with a right shoulder impingement.
Toronto made the move with García shortly before the start of the middle game of a three-game set against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The 34-year-old García last pitched on Thursday, against San Diego, when he worked a scoreless inning and allowed a hit. This season, García has an 0-2 record with a 3.15 ERA in 21 games. He has 24 strikeouts and 10 walks in 20 innings.
García signed a two-year, $15 million contact with Toronto in December.
Last year, he was traded from Toronto to Seattle on July 26 for outfielder Jonatan Clase and catcher/outfielder Jacob Sharp. García had a 6.00 ERA in nine innings over 10 appearances for the Mariners. He was 3-0 with a 3.46 ERA and five saves overall in 39 games and 39 innings in 2024.
García has a record of 22-31 and a 3.57 ERA in 435 career games. He has pitched 418 1/3 innings, striking out 455 and walking 106, with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Miami Marlins, Houston Astros, Mariners and Blue Jays.
The Blue Jays recalled right-handed pitcher Paxton Schultz from Triple-A.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland has toe surgery, out 4-5 months
Cavaliers guard Darius Garland had surgery Monday on the injured left big toe that hampered him during Cleveland's exit from the playoffs. The Cavaliers said the procedure was performed by Dr. Nicholas Strasser at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, in consultation with team physician Dr. James Rosneck and Dr. Bob Anderson. The All-Star guard missed the final two games of the regular season and four games during the playoffs with the injury, which was described as a sprain. "Definitely wasn't myself. It was pretty uncomfortable but trying to do everything to win the game. It was frustrating because I wasn't 100 percent," Garland said after the Cavaliers lost to the Indiana Pacers in five games in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Garland is expected to spend 4 to 5 months going through a progression of treatment and rehabilitation before resuming basketball activities by the start of training camp. Garland averaged 20.6 points and 6.7 assists during the regular season to help the Cavs finish atop the Eastern Conference. In just five playoff games, he dropped to 18 points and 5.2 assists per game, and while Cleveland won the two games against the Miami Heat that Garland sat out due to his toe, he also missed two of the four games that the Cavs dropped to the Pacers in the conference semifinals.

The late Jim Irsay's 3 daughters take charge of Colts under his transition plan
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts are moving forward with the late Jim Irsay's transition plan for ownership, which calls for his three daughters to take charge of the club. The team said Monday that Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson each would continue to hold the title of owner, which they have done since 2012 when they were named vice chairs. Irsay-Gordon is now CEO, and Foyt is executive vice president. Jackson will be chief brand officer. Irsay died last month at age 65. He had long battled issues of health and addiction and had been far less visible following a fall at his home in December. All three of the sisters grew up around the Colts, just as their father did before taking over as owner following the death of his father, Robert Irsay, in 1997. Irsay-Gordon has represented the Colts at various NFL meetings since 2004, three years before Foyt joined the front office. Foyt had previously worked for the NFL in London. Jackson has been leading the family's initiative to raise awareness of mental health. ___ AP NFL:

Pro Bowl punter Logan Cooke signs a 4-year contract extension with the Jaguars
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Pro Bowl punter Logan Cooke has signed a four-year contract extension with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Cooke, a second-team All-Pro selection in 2024, was entering the final year of his second deal with the team. It had been unclear how Jacksonville's new regime would handle Cooke's contract situation. Jacksonville, which drafted Cooke in the seventh round in 2018, announced the extension Monday.
