Grayson Rodriguez to have MRI of shoulder after bullpen session canceled
Associated Press
BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore Orioles right-hander Grayson Rodriguez will have an MRI of his sore throwing shoulder after a bullpen session Thursday was canceled.
Rodriguez has not pitched in a regular-season game since July 31 and has been rehabbing from right elbow inflammation issue, though he made spring training appearances on Feb. 27 and March 5.
'He woke up a few days ago with a little bit of soreness in the shoulder area,' Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. 'I'm not really sure at this point. We're hoping for the best. But we felt like it was necessary to get imaging done.'
A 25-year-old right-hander who was the 11th overall pick in the 2018 amateur draft, Rodriguez is 20-8 with a 4.11 ERA in 43 starts over two big league seasons.
Coming off consecutive postseason appearances, Baltimore has had numerous injuries to starting pitchers: Kyle Braddish (Tommy John surgery) and Tyler Wells (UCL repair surgery) also started the season on the injured list. Albert Suarez (right shoulder) has not pitched for the Orioles since March 28 and Zach Eflin (right lat) since April 7.

The Crusaders will host the Super Rugby final after edging the Blues 21-14 in the first semifinal
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand (AP) — The Christchurch-based Crusaders will host the Super Rugby final for a record eighth time after edging the Blues 21-14 on Friday to end the Blues' one-year title reign. The Crusaders improved their winning record in home playoffs to 31-0 in a thrilling match that ended in the 85th minute. They will now face the winner of Saturday's second semifinal between the Hamilton-based Chiefs and ACT Brumbies as they attempt to win the Super Rugby title for the 13th time. The Crusaders rallied from two tries and a man down after 21 minutes to level the score at 14-14 by halftime. They took the lead for the first and last time with Will Jordan's second try of the match in the 70th minute and held on under immense pressure. The Blues held the ball through 40 phases on the Crusaders' goalline after the fulltime siren, won a penalty and attacked again before backrower Christian Lio-Willie won the turnover that ended the match. 'That was just pride,' Jordan said. 'Some boys must have made 10 or 15 tackles just in that last five or 10 minutes. 'The Blues are a helluva side, champions and showed that tonight. We just managed to hold out.' The Blues opened the scoring with a try to winger Mark Tele'a after 11 minutes. The Crusaders were then reduced to 14 men when center Braydon Ennor was sin-binned after a head clash with Hoskins Sotutu. Blues center Rieko Ioane scored under the posts in the absence of his marker in the 21st minute and Beauden Barrett converted to make the score 14-0. The Crusaders scored through backrower Tom Christie in the 24th minute and when the Blues were down to 14 men with Joshua Fusitua in the sin-bin, scored through Jordan to level the scores. Jordan was outstanding in the aerial contest and dangerous around the field. The Crusaders weathered pressure near their goalline between the 46th and 51st minutes before relieving that pressure with the first of a series of scrum penalties. The Blues were forced to use hooker Ricky Riccitelli at loosehead prop temporarily after exhausting their prop resources. After a series of eight consecutive penalties in the Blues' 22, Jordan scored the match-winning try. The Blues then threw everything at the Crusaders to keep the match and their title defense alive but couldn't score again. 'We started very well but we let them back in and they were good at what they pride themselves on around their set piece,' Blues captain Patrick Tuipulotu said. 'On top of that we were pretty ill-disciplined and they wre able to get on top of us in that way.' ___ AP rugby:

Brighton signs teenage forward Kostoulas from Champions League-bound Olympiakos
LONDON (AP) — Brighton has signed teenage forward Charalampos Kostoulas, who gave up a Champions League season with Olympiakos to play in the Premier League. The 18-year-old Kostoulas signed a five-year contract, Brighton said, with the transfer fee reportedly set at an initial 35 million euros ($40.4 million). 'It is a dream for everybody to come here and play football,' the Greece Under-21 striker said in an interview published Friday by Brighton. He scored seven goals in 22 games in the Greek league as Olympiakos won a record-extending 48th title and completed a trophy double in the domestic cup. Olympiakos was elevated directly into the lucrative Champions League opening phase — because title-holder Paris Saint-Germain already secured a place by winning the French league — and will play eight games in the single-standings league. Brighton finished eighth in the Premier League and did not qualify for European soccer. Kostoulas was the central striker in Olympiakos' Under-19 team that won the 2024 UEFA Youth League, one month before the senior team won the Conference League. ___ AP soccer:
