Jaguars scratch Travis Hunter ahead of preseason game against the Saints
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Travis Hunter was scratched Sunday by the Jacksonville Jaguars before their preseason game against the New Orleans Saints. Hunter, the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner out of Colorado and No. 2 pick in last spring's NFL draft, had missed practice in recent days because of what team officials have described as an upper-body injury. The Jaguars also scratched veteran wide receiver Dyami Brown, although it was not immediately clear why. Hunter and Brown both played in Jacksonville's preseason opener last week, a 31-25 loss to Pittsburgh. Hunter, a rare, two-way player, caught two passes for 9 yards and also participated in eight plays as a defensive back. Brown had 7 yards rushing on an end-around. ___ AP NFL:

Red Sox infielder Marcelo Mayer to have season-ending right wrist surgery
BOSTON (AP) — Boston Red Sox infielder Marcelo Mayer said Sunday that he'll have season-ending surgery on his right wrist. The 22-year-old Mayer injured the wrist in late July, got an injection to try and come back, but decided to have surgery. He said he has a tear that hadn't improved with the anti-inflammatory injection. 'I knew definitely that it was going to be on the table,' he said, sitting in the Red Sox dugout at Fenway Park before they faced Miami in the series finale. 'As an athlete and somebody that loves this game so much, all I want to do is play and be out there every single day, especially when you're in the big leagues and the playoffs are so important,' he said. 'The way that my wrist is right now, there's just no way to come back and play. It made the decision pretty easy to have the surgery.' Drafted fourth overall in 2021, Mayer was called up in late May. A natural shortstop, he played mostly third base, batting .228 with four homers and 10 RBIs in 44 games. 'The shot wasn't working. It's a three-month recovery, He should be fine if everything goes well for spring training,' Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. 'He's a big part of the future of this organization, just get him right, get him ready and see what happens in the future.' Cora said he knew things weren't going well after Mayer played catch on Thursday's day off. 'He didn't sound too positive about it. 'My swing is not right,''' Cora said Mayer told him. Mayer also knew that surgery was the best option. 'Yeah, gave it my all. Obviously with options given, I could have had surgery when I first injured it or get the shot,' he said. 'I tried everything I could with the slight chance to come back and play.' He also missed the final two months in the minors last season with a shoulder injury and didn't play after July 31. ___ AP MLB:
