Islanders place Mathew Barzal on IR with lower body injury
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Islanders placed Mathew Barzal on injured reserve on Tuesday with a lower body injury.
Barzal, who missed 21 days earlier this season with an upper body injury, was hurt in the third period of the Islanders' overtime win at Tampa Bay on Saturday. He left in the final minute of regulation after taking a shot by the Lightning's Darren Raddysh off his left leg.
Barzal has six goals and 14 assists in 30 games this season.
The Islanders began the day in 11th place in the Eastern Conference, four points out of a wild-card spot.

Bournemouth signs left back Truffert from Rennes amid reported imminent exit of Kerkez
BOURNEMOUTH, England (AP) — Bournemouth signed France left back Adrien Truffert from Rennes on Monday, potentially paving the way for Milos Kerkez to leave amid reported interest from Liverpool. The 23-year-old Truffert has joined on a five-year contract after deciding to leave Rennes, where he was the captain. Advertisement 'It's a dream for any player to play in the Premier League,' Truffert said 'It's one of the best and most competitive leagues in the world. "I'm looking forward to testing myself at this level, facing top players every week and helping the team achieve great things.' British media have reported that Kerkez is heading to Premier League champion Liverpool, which would continue the breakup of Bournemouth's defense following Dean Huijsen's move to Real Madrid. Belgium-born Truffert won his lone international cap for France as a substitute in a 2-0 loss to Denmark in the Nations League in September 2022. ___ AP soccer:

Shohei Ohtani to make his long-awaited return to the mound in an abbreviated start for the Dodgers
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani is making his Los Angeles Dodgers pitching debut, 643 days after the two-way superstar had elbow surgery. Ohtani will start and pitch an inning or two against the San Diego Padres on Monday night in the series opener. 'He's ready to make his debut on the mound,' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday night after the NL West leaders beat San Francisco. The Japanese right-hander has been throwing simulated games recently in preparation for his return while still wielding his powerful bat in the lineup. Typically, pitchers returning from injuries go on minor-league rehab assignments, but Ohtani is an exception. The three-time MVP is batting .290 with 25 homers, which leads the National League, 41 RBIs and 11 stolen bases in the leadoff spot. While Ohtani won't be throwing deep into the game, just his presence on the mound figures to bolster a staff that has been decimated by injuries. The Dodgers have eight starters, including Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell and Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki, and six relievers on the injured list. Since Ohtani is already on the roster as the designated hitter, the Dodgers are essentially adding an extra pitcher without having to make a corresponding roster move. Ohtani helped the Dodgers win their eighth World Series title — and his first — last season, the first of a $700 million, 10-year contract. He hasn't pitched since 2023, when he was with the Los Angeles Angels. He had a record of 10-5 with a 3.14 ERA and 167 strikeouts. His last mound appearance was on Aug. 23, 2023, when he got hurt during a start against Cincinnati. He had Tommy John surgery on Oct. 1, 2018, and is recovering from right elbow surgery on Sept. 19, 2023. 'There's been a lot of anticipation,' Roberts said. 'It's good for our team. Our guys are excited about this potential. And obviously, most important, I'm excited for Shohei.' As a pitcher, Ohtani has a 3.01 ERA and 608 strikeouts in 481 2/3 innings in his major league career. ___ AP MLB:
