Rangers INF Marcus Semien out of lineup Saturday because of sore left wrist
TORONTO (AP) — Texas Rangers infielder Marcus Semien was out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game at Toronto because of a sore left wrist. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Semien was going for X-rays. Semien was hit by a 91 mph fastball from Toronto's Chris Bassitt in the second inning of Friday's 6-5 loss. He remained in the game and hit a two-run homer off Louis Varland in the eighth. Semien had played in 122 of Texas' first 123 games. The three-time All-Star last sat April 13 at Seattle. Ezequiel Duran started at second base for the Rangers on Saturday. ___ AP MLB: The Associated Press

Phil Steele joins Colin Cowherd, explains why he has Cade Klubnik winning the Heisman
Colin Cowherd spent some time studying Cade Klubnik's tape this week, and it left him with a simple question. 'Is it possible that Cade Klubnik is the best quarterback in the sport this year?' Cowherd asked on his brought in college football analyst Phil Steele for the discussion, and Steele made it clear he believes the Clemson star is primed for a huge season. 'I picked him to win the Heisman, Colin, and I'll tell you why,' Steele said. 'Two years ago, people questioned him with 19 touchdowns and nine picks. But last year, after getting back his injured receivers and adding a couple talented freshmen, he jumped to 36 touchdowns with just six interceptions. 'He's behind my No. 2 offensive line, he's throwing to my No. 2 receivers, and I've got Clemson winning all 12 games. I think Klubnik leads the nation in passing and brings home the Heisman this year.' FanDuel currently lists Texas quarterback Arch Manning as the favorite (+750). Klubnik is tied at +900 with LSU's Garrett Nussmeier, who he'll face in Clemson's opener on August 30. Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith follows at +1200. Clemson has never had a Heisman winner, though both Deshaun Watson and Trevor Lawrence finished as runners-up during the program's Playoff run under Dabo Swinney.
