Guardians outfield prospect Chase DeLauter has surgery on his right wrist
DeLauter is expected to miss 6-8 weeks, which means he could be back for the last week or two of the season. He was examined on Tuesday by wrist/hand specialist Dr. Thomas Graham at Jefferson Orthopedics in Philadelphia. An MRI and clinical exam confirmed a hook of the hamate fracture and surgery was recommended.
DeLauter has not played since July 12. He was batting .278 with eight doubles, five homers and 21 RBIs in 34 games at Triple-A Columbus.
The 2022 first-round draft pick reached base in all 34 games he played for the Clippers, which led to some wondering when he might be called up. But DeLauter has struggled to stay on the field. He had three stints on the injured list last year and missed the first couple months of this season because of a sports hernia injury he suffered in spring training.

49ers embrace youth movement with potential influx of rookies in starting lineup
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers went into the past few training camps with one of the NFL's deepest rosters filled with established stars that left little opportunity for rookies to contribute. That's far from the case this year as San Francisco underwent a roster reset in the offseason that has infused the team with more youth and the most opportunities for rookies to compete since 2019 when draft picks like Nick Bosa, Deebo Samuel and Dre Greenlaw helped the Niners reach the Super Bowl.

Briscoe wins Brickyard 400 pole to earn top starting spot in 3rd straight crown jewel race
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Chase Briscoe became the first driver to win poles at NASCAR's first three crown jewel races in one season Saturday, taking the Brickyard 400 pole with a fast lap of 183.165 mph. His late run bumped Bubba Wallace out of the top starting spot. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has won nine career poles, five coming this season including those at the Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600 and now the only race held in Briscoe's home state. He'll have a chance to complete a crown jewel sweep at the Southern 500 in late August. Briscoe has the most pole wins this season, his latest coming on Indianapolis Motor Speedway's 2.5-mile oval. It also came on the same weekend his sister was married in Indiana. Briscoe has never won the Brickyard. Wallace starts next to Briscoe on the front row after posting a lap of 183.117 mph. Those two also led a pack of five Toyotas to the front of the field — marking the first time the engine manufacturer has swept the top five spots. Qualifying was held after a brief, rescheduled practice session. Friday's practice was rained out. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Briscoe's teammate, Ty Gibbs, has the early edge in the championship round of NASCAR's first In-Season Challenge. He qualified fifth at 182.445. Ty Dillon starts 26th. The winner will be crowned champion and walk away with $1 million. Last week's race winner Denny Hamlin faces a major hurdle in winning his first Brickyard title. He crashed hard during qualifying and will start from the back of the field, 39th, as he tries to become the fifth driver to complete a career sweep of the Cup's crown jewel races. The 44-year-old Hamlin signed a two-year contract extension with JGR on Friday. Defending race winner Kyle Larson starts 13th. ___ AP auto racing:
