Mets P Kodai Senga (hamstring) headed for injured list
June 12 - New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga exited Thursday's 4-3 win against the visiting Washington Nationals with a strained right hamstring.
Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed after the game that the major leagues' ERA leader is headed for the 15-day injured list. Senga will have an MRI on Friday to determine the severity of the injury.
"We've just got to wait and see what we're dealing with," Mendoza said.
With one out in the sixth inning, Senga raced to cover first base on a grounder by CJ Abrams. First baseman Pete Alonso fielded the ball but made a high throw as Senga covered the bag.
Senga leaped to corral the ball and landed awkwardly on the bag for the out but immediately went down in foul territory. He was holding his right leg and exited the game after a brief consultation with Mendoza and a trainer.
Senga allowed just one hit, walked one and struck out five. The Mets held a 4-0 lead when he exited the contest.
Senga, 32, improved to 7-3 with the win and his 5 2/3 scoreless innings lowered the right-hander's ERA to an MLB-best 1.47.

Free sports watch parties are taking over Hudson Yards this summer
Big summer energy just hit Hudson Yards—literally. The 30-foot Big Screen is back, towering over the Public Square & Gardens for a season-long run of free sports watch parties. Whether you're into F1, footy or the U.S. Open, this is your chance to watch the world's biggest events in a setting that's all vibe, no cover. Part of the Backyard at Hudson Yards programming, the Big Screen is showing a packed lineup through October. Upcoming highlights include Wimbledon (June 30–July 13), the MLB and WNBA All-Star Games (July 15 and 19), the U.S. Open (Aug. 24–Sept. 7), and the NFL Season Kickoff on Sept. 4. You'll also catch high-adrenaline events like the Tour de France, Rugby World Cups and multiple F1 Grand Prix races, including the Austin showdown on Oct. 19. And if your preferred sport is 'watching sports while snacking,' you're in luck. The surrounding plaza hosts food trucks serving gelato (Sogno Toscano), caramelized boba tea (Xing Fu Tang) and Van Leeuwen ice cream. Wells Fargo customers can also get priority seating and access to special food truck perks by showing their debit card. (Pro tip: After the game or during halftime, stroll over to the new Sailor's Choice, a dockside seafood shack built around a classic gentleman's lobster boat.) No need to squish into a dive bar or sweat it out at a rooftop when you can kick back on a lawn chair under the Vessel with the Hudson breeze in your hair. Arrive early—seating is first come, first served—and don't forget the sunscreen. This is outdoor viewing with all the drama of live sports and none of the elbowing for elbow room.

Alligator near your ball? AI rules expert at U.S. Open will tell you what to do
OAKMONT, Pennsylvania, June 13 (Reuters) - The rules of golf can be complex but at this week's U.S. Open an interactive artificial intelligence avatar is offering a glimpse into how golfers can get instant answers to questions, even what to do if you encounter an alligator on the course. Inside a hospitality suite overlooking the 17th green at Oakmont Country Club are three demo terminals that feature an avatar of USGA rules expert Jay Roberts standing with steepled fingertips and awaiting any questions about golf rules. To interact with the Rules of Golf AI Avatar, a user must tap and hold their finger on the screen while asking a question in either English, Spanish or Mandarin and then get answered in that same language. When asked what to do if a golfer finds an alligator in the same bunker where their ball is, the avatar quickly shows some mental wit: "An alligator in the bunker, now that's a hazard." The avatar then proceeds to tell the user they can either take free relief by dropping their ball at the nearest point in the bunker where they are safe, no closer to the hole, or take a penalty stroke and drop outside the bunker. Deloitte, in collaboration with the United States Golf Association, created the demo using four years of USGA expert-answered rules inquiry data, combined with advanced AI to provide real-time and accurate answers to rules questions. The avatar is not yet accessible to the broader community or stakeholders that the USGA works with but could ultimately serve players through an app on their phone or perhaps on a screen in their golf cart. According to Lou DiLorenzo, Deloitte's National AI & Data Strategy leader, the technology can help further educate golfers on the rules of the game, which can help ensure fair play and perhaps even speed up the pace of play. "What we are doing here is using technology to help make the game and the rules more accessible, which is good for more people to enjoy playing it under fair play conditions," DiLorenzo told Reuters. "Ultimately we think it's going to help increase speed of play, we think it's going to help the interaction between the USGA and the courses that it serves and ultimately the membership that it represents."

Caitlin Clark reveals if she would ever leave Indiana Fever
Caitlin Clark has revealed she wants to retire with the Fever, as she gushed that it's 'just really different' to play basketball in Indiana. Clark has been passionately cheering for the Pacers during their postseason run - she sat courtside during their huge Game 3 Finals win on Wednesday - and shared in a newly-published interview that neither she nor her good friend Tyrese Haliburton have any plans to leave Indianapolis. 'Ty and I would both tell you this is where we both hope to stay the rest of our careers,' Clark told ESPN. 'People are like, 'It's a small market.' But no, that's what makes it fun. These people, this is what means the world to them. 'We haven't hosted a Finals game in 25 years, and I've never seen this type of excitement. People are lining up three hours before the game. I literally just got the chills thinking about it. 'And they're the same for the Fever. I think it's just like [Pacers coach] Rick [Carlisle] said, 'In 49 other states it's basketball, but here it's just really different.' I'm really fortunate to be able to play here and he's the same.' Both the Pacers and the Fever are owned by Herb Simon. Clark is under contract for three more years with the Fever after signing a four-year, $338,056 rookie deal last year - though that number is expected to skyrocket after the league and its players negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement (the current agreement expires in October). The Fever have seen a massive rise in popularity since drafting Clark last year, with the franchise selling out of season tickets for this year. Ticket prices to watch the Fever and Clark have also skyrocketed, though the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year hasn't played since May 24 against the Liberty due to a quad injury. Clark missed her fifth consecutive game earlier this week when she sat out her team's road loss to the Dream. However, the Fever announced on Friday that Clark was set to return the following day for her team's matchup against the defending champion Liberty. 'She's back,' the team's X account wrote with a fire emoji. Without Clark in the lineup, the Fever at least stayed afloat, going 2-3. Through their first nine games of the season, Indiana is seventh out of 13 teams in the WNBA standings, and has the third-best winning percentage in the Eastern Conference. The Pacers, meanwhile, lead the Thunder 2-1 in the NBA Finals and will look to seize a massive Game 4 win on Friday.
