Leão and Pulisic score as AC Milan beats Bari 2-0 in opener but Leão exits with apparent injury
MILAN (AP) — An apparent injury to Rafael Leão made it a bittersweet season debut for AC Milan as the Portugal winger and United States international Christian Pulisic both scored in a 2-0 win over Serie B side Bari in the opening round of the Italian Cup on Sunday. Leão appeared to injure his right calf after celebrating his headed goal early on and had to be substituted. Pulisic, meanwhile, followed up a shot off the crossbar in the first half by finishing off an exchange with Santiago Gimenez — who came on for Leão — shortly after the break at the San Siro. Newly signed Luka Modric came on in the 66th for his Milan debut at age 39. The former Ballon d'Or winner joined the seven-time European champion in July after 13 seasons with Real Madrid. Massimiliano Allegri, who was rehired as Milan's coach after winning Serie A with the Rossoneri nearly 15 years ago, was suspended. He began serving a two-match ban for an ugly outburst directed at the referees during the Italian Cup final as Juventus' manager in 2024. The outburst resulted in Juventus firing Allegri. Milan is usually one of the top eight seeds that has byes for the opening rounds of the Italian Cup and begins competing in December. But the Rossoneri finished eighth in the Italian league last season and lost the Cup final to Bologna. Bologna therefore was given the top seed even though it finished ninth in Serie A, pushing Milan down into the earlier rounds. Milan will next face Lecce in late September.

Serie A starts next weekend with Milan opening against promoted Cremonese on Saturday, again at the San Siro. It remains to be seen whether Leão will be available for the league opener. ___ AP soccer:

Rangers 1B Jake Burger heading to Texas for tests on sore left wrist, will miss 2 or 3 games
TORONTO (AP) — Rangers first baseman Jake Burger is headed home to Texas for tests on his sore left wrist and will miss at least two or three games, manager Bruce Bochy said. Burger went 1 for 3 with an RBI single in Sunday's 10-4 win at Toronto, but was replaced by pinch-hitter Ezequiel Duran in the seventh inning. 'It's too bad because he was swinging the bat well,' Bochy said of Burger. 'He's going to go back home and get it looked at. We'll have an MRI done and find out what's going on there. He's probably out at least two or three days.' The Rangers begin a three-game series at Kansas City on Monday. Burger is batting .242 with 12 home runs and 41 RBIs. He has 12 RBIs and nine runs scored in his past 18 games. Burger said he first felt soreness in his first at-bat Saturday, but was able to keep playing. 'I don't feel like I'm totally swinging like I normally do,' Burger said. 'I'm really hopeful that it's just a quick check it out and go from there.' Burger has already been sidelined by two injuries this season. He missed 10 games between June 21 and July 2 because of a strained left oblique, then sat out 20 games between July 13 and Aug. 8 because of a strained left quadriceps.

Rahm wins LIV Golf season points title, then falls in playoff to Munoz in Indianapolis
WESTFIELD, Ind. (AP) — Jon Rahm successfully defended his LIV Golf season points title Sunday without winning an event all year, closing with an 11-under 60 before losing a playoff to Sebastian Munoz on the first extra hole in the Indianapolis event. Munoz won two days after becoming the first player to shoot 59 with a double bogey. The Colombian player —with Rahm hitting balls on driving range — birdied the final two holes in regulation for a 65 to match Rahm at 22 under at The Club at Chatham Hills.
