Royals pitcher Kris Bubic to miss rest of season with rotator cuff injury
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — All-Star pitcher Kris Bubic of the Kansas City Royals will miss the rest of the season with a strained rotator cuff.
The 27-year-old lefty is 8-7 with a 2.55 ERA this season, earning his first All-Star selection. He gave up three runs and recorded just one out in the Midsummer Classic, then left Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians after allowing three earned runs on three hits and four walks in 2 2/3 innings.
'Physically, something's not right,' he said.
Bubic was placed on the injured list Sunday.

Yankees Acquire Giants Fireballer Camilo Doval in Last-Minute Trade: Report
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees' bullpen got much, much better on Thursday. New York focused most of its efforts on position players in the week leading up to the deadline, but went bananas on the relief pitching market in the final hours. After officially announcing the acquisition of Jake Bird and reportedly agreeing to a deal involving David Bednar, the Yankees had one more reliever in store. According to a report from Jack Curry of YES Network, the Yankees agreed to acquire right-handed fireballer Camilo Doval from the San Francisco Giants.

(Photo by Suzanna Mitchell/San) More Robert Murray of FanSided reported that catcher/third base prospect Jesus Rodriguez, corner infielder Parks Harber, right-handed pitcher Trystan Vrieling and left-handed pitcher Carlos De La Rosa were headed back to the Giants in the deal. Once an All-Star in 2023, Doval regained the closer role in San Francisco partway through this season. He's pitched to a 3.09 ERA in 47 appearances, striking out 50 batters in 46 2/3 innings. The New York bullpen now includes Devin Williams, Luke Weaver, Bird, Bednar, and Doval, so the thinnest group on the roster is suddenly deep and intimidating. Doval also comes with 2 1/2 remaining years of team control, so he'll be an option to take over the closer role next season if Weaver, Williams, or both depart in free agency. The Yankees have to be feeling good about their deadline haul, but now must quickly shift their attention to a hotly contested American League Wild Card race, in which a lot of other teams improved as well.

Houston Astros reacquire Carlos Correa in trade
Carlos Correa will play for the Astros once again after agreeing to a trade from the Minnesota Twins. Why it matters: The All-Star shortstop's homecoming lines up with the Houston squad's forward momentum, already in progress. Driving the news: The Astros acquired Correa from the Twins hours before the MLB trade deadline Thursday, multiple outlets reported. Correa had to agree to the trade, signaling his eagerness to rejoin the team. Details of the deal weren't immediately available, but Correa had $96 million and three more years left in his contract with Minnesota. State of play: The Astros acquired Correa while he's on the injured list, having suffered a sprained ankle during a game on July 11. He's currently day-to-day and had a .267 batting average in 2025 until the injury. Houston is 62-47 (.569) this season, with 53 games left in the regular season. The intrigue: Correa, when healthy, will likely replace Isaac Paredes at third base, who will miss at least the next two months with a hamstring injury. What they're saying:"I'm coming home and there's only one goal in mind and that's to win championships," Correa said, per Brian McTaggart. Flashback: The Astros selected Correa as the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2012. He made his debut in 2015 and won American League Rookie of the Year before leading the Astros to their first World Series win in 2017. He's also a three-time All-Star and a Gold Glove recipient.

Broncos believe linebacker Dre Greenlaw's latest leg injury isn't serious
Associated Press ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Linebacker Dre Greenlaw pulled up while covering running back J.K. Dobbins in a 1-on-1 drill Thursday, then jogged off the field with the Denver Broncos' athletic trainers and didn't return to practice. Coach Sean Payton said afterward that it wasn't a recurrence of the thigh injury that sidelined Greenlaw this offseason. Payton motioned toward his own hamstring and said Greenlaw felt it tighten up. 'I think he'll be all right,' Payton said while adding that Greenlaw was undergoing further tests. That would be a big relief for the Broncos, who made Greenlaw the cornerstone of their offseason additions when they signed the former San Francisco 49ers star to a three-year, $31.5 million contract. Earlier this week, Payton spoke glowingly about Greenlaw. 'He plays like Mike Tyson,' Payton said. 'He's tough. He's physical. He's built that way. There's not a lot of leaky yardage. He's a knock-back tackler. They stop where he hits them. There's an intensity to how he plays. He's one of those players where if you put the film on and didn't say anything, at some point early you would ask, 'Who is this guy?'' Greenlaw said Payton isn't the first one to compare him to the former heavyweight champion. 'Yeah, I've gotten that before for sure. I don't know, I just like to play football and go out there, and I give it my all,' Greenlaw said Monday following Denver's first padded practice of training camp. 'You never know when it's going to be your last chance on the field, your last chance to play, so you want to make a statement any time you can. I just love doing it and am thankful to be able to do it.' Greenlaw played in just a couple of games last season after tearing an Achilles tendon running onto the field in the 49ers' 25-22 loss to Kansas City in the 2024 Super Bowl. He and former 49ers star safety Talanoa Hufanga joined the Broncos in the offseason despite strong efforts by San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan and general manger John Lynch to keep them in the Bay Area. Greenlaw said he wanted to join Denver's stellar defense, which also added versatile defensive back Jahdae Barron in the first round of the NFL draft. 'They've had one of the best defenses for quite some time now. I know last year they really took that up a notch, and I just wanted to be a part of that,' Greenlaw said. 'I wanted to be where I was accepted, where I was wanted and this is the right place for me.' Middle linebacker Alex Singleton broke his left thumb on Monday and won't be back until next week, so after Greenlaw left practice, the Broncos' front-line inside linebackers were undrafted rookie Levelle Bailey and veteran Justin Strnad. Greenlaw said he's eager to play alongside Singleton when both are healthy. 'That's what I also looked into when I came here, just to see what type of leaders are on the team,' Greenlaw said. 'Alex is a vocal guy when he needs to be. He's also a tackling machine. ... He's somebody that's going to give it all he's got every play. I saw that in Alex that I see in myself, so I thought this was going to be a great little duo.' ___ AP NFL: recommended Item 1 of 3
