Guardians Place Gabriel Arias on IL With Ankle Sprain, Recall Brayan Rocchio From Triple-A
Rocchio was in Cleveland's lineup at shortstop and batting ninth for the series opener at Wrigley Field. Arias was taken off the field on a cart after getting hurt in the third inning of Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The team said X-rays were negative and Arias underwent an MRI on Monday.
'It looks like we got pretty lucky,' manager Stephen Vogt said. 'It looks like a moderate ankle sprain. So we'll have more information on him when we get back (to Cleveland on Friday) but it sounds like he avoided some major injury, which is great.'
Arias is batting .231 with six home runs and 31 RBIs in 77 games in his first full season as a starter. Arias went deep into the hole to field a grounder by Masyn Winn with one out but caught his left spike on the grass and awkwardly rolled his ankle. The ball wound up in left field for a single. Arias immediately grabbed his leg and remained down for several minutes.
Rocchio opened the season with the Guardians but was optioned to Triple-A on May 12 after batting only .165 with eight RBIs in 35 games. In 41 games with Columbus, he hit .252 with seven home runs and 30 RBIs.

NBA Stars to Turn Filmmakers at Summer League Fest With Kevin Garnett, Mark Wahlberg and Deon Taylor
The NBA Summer League is giving athletes another shot that takes place behind the camera. With assists from Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett and Hollywood power players Mark Wahlberg and Deon Taylor, the league is bringing back the NBA Summer League Film Festival starting July 17 in Las Vegas. The three-day festival will bring big-screen storytelling through 34 selected projects spotlighting stories produced by NBA stars past and present, including Nikola Jokic, Luguentz Dort, Tony Allen, Nate Robinson, Cole Anthony, Keyon Dooling, and Udonis Haslem. 'We have a ton of NBA players who own production companies,' said Garnett, who won an NBA championship with the Boston Celtics. He co-founded the production company Content King Studios. 'So the SLFF is a great opportunity to get together to share our projects, give each other our flowers for doing the work, and provide an opportunity to get projects financed and even sold,' Garnett said. The second annual film festival will take place at the Strip View Pavilion inside the Thomas & Mack Center, the longtime home of NBA Summer League, which was co-founded in 2004 by Warren LeGarie and Albert Hall. 'I've always been a big hoops fan, so it's amazing to see NBA players bring these incredible stories to life,' said Wahlberg, who has the production company Unrealistic Ideas. Deon and Roxanne Avent Taylor of Hidden Empire Film Group were brought on to help athletes explore the art of filmmaking and sharpen their acting chops. 'Today's athletes are more than players. They're storytellers, creators, and global influencers,' said Deon Taylor, director of Black and Blue, The Intruder, Meet the Blacks, and Fatale. This marks another sports-driven venture for Hidden Empire, which teamed up with Skydance Sports and the NFL in March to host film training sessions for more than 20 current and former NFL players. Taylor called the collaboration with Garnett, Wahlberg, Hall, and the NBA a culture shift. He said the festival would help athletes to control their narrative through film, television, and other media platforms. 'Together we're redefining where sports, art, and culture collide,' Taylor said. The festival will feature the premiere of UNLV: Kings of Vegas showcasing the untold story of the UNLV Runnin' Rebels. The documentary will include interviews with popular figures ranging from Snoop Dogg, Chuck D, and Jimmy Kimmel. It's produced by former UNLV stars Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon, and Greg Anthony, along with Damien Big Percy Roderick and Hidden Empire Film Group. Along with screenings, the festival will host various private events, including a tipoff viewing of Tony Allen: The Grindfather and a wrap party. 'The SLFF team is passionate about amplifying these amazing films and filmmakers who are producing all forms of content at NBA Summer League,' Hall said. 'Because of all the talented filmmakers who submitted films this year, we believe the 2025 SLFF is poised to take on a life of its own and grow the second weekend of the Summer League.'

Pivetta Wins 9th Game in Career Year for Padres, Machado Has 3 RBIs in 6-4 Win Over Phillies
Manny Machado hit a three-run double, and Nick Pivetta allowed one run and struck out six in seven innings to lead the San Diego Padres past the Philadelphia Phillies 6–4 in the first game of a doubleheader on Wednesday. Pivetta (9–2) is off to the best start in his nine-year career–the first 3 1/2 spent with the Phillies. The 32-year-old entered nine games under .500 in his career and has never won more than 10 games. He went 6–12 in Boston last season but found success in San Diego and has kept the Padres in the thick of the NL wild-card race. Perhaps the lone dose of bad news came Tuesday when the game was rained out, which forced the day-night doubleheader. Pivetta, whose 195 career starts are seventh-most by a Canadian, had his scheduled start on Canada Day postponed. Kyle Schwarber took Pivetta deep in the sixth for his 26th homer, which made it 6–1. Machado had already done the bulk of the damage in a five-run second inning against Phillies rookie starter Mick Abel (2–2). Abel had loaded the bases when he issued consecutive walks to Fernando Tatis Jr. and Jackson Merrill to make it 2–0. Machado followed with his 21st double of the season. Abel, who struck out nine over six innings in his May big-league debut, walked five (four scored) and allowed five runs in 1 2/3 innings. Luis Arraez walked with the bases loaded in the fourth to make it 6–1. Key moment The Phillies scored twice in the seventh and added another run in the ninth to make it 6–4. Trea Turner ripped a two-out single to center, but Brandon Marsh was ruled out on a head-first slide into third base. The call was overturned, putting runners on first and third. Robert Suarez struck out Schwarber swinging to end the game and earn his 24th save in 27 chances. Key stat San Diego scored three runs on bases-loaded walks. Up next The Padres were sending RHP Dylan Cease (3–7, 4.53 ERA) to the mound in the second game against LHP Cristopher Sánchez (6–2, 2.79 ERA).

Joey Ortiz hits tiebreaking slam and Brewers beat reeling Mets 7-2 in 1st game of twinbill
Joey Ortiz hit a tiebreaking grand slam in the sixth inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the staggering New York Mets 7–2 on Wednesday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader. Sal Frelick launched his first career leadoff homer, and Freddy Peralta (9–4) pitched six innings of two-hit ball to win his fourth straight start. Brewers rookie Isaac Collins went 4 for 4 with a home run and a walk as Milwaukee won for the ninth time in 11 games and improved to 13–2 in its last 15 regular-season matchups with the Mets. New York has dropped 14 of 17 overall and been outscored 37–6 during its four-game losing streak. The makeup of Tuesday night's rainout was the first meeting between the teams since their Wild Card Series in the playoffs last October when Pete Alonso's go-ahead homer in the ninth inning rallied New York to victory in the decisive third game. Alonso gave the Mets a 2–1 lead Wednesday with an RBI single in the fourth, but that was the last of their two hits. Peralta retired his next eight batters, and New York managed just one more baserunner. Reed Garrett (2–4) replaced Mets starter Clay Holmes with a runner on first and one out in the sixth. Brice Turang tied it 2–2 with an RBI double on the first pitch from Garrett, who then loaded the bases before Ortiz, who began the day batting .210, drove a 3–1 cutter to left field for his sixth home run. Garrett had a 0.68 ERA in 27 games through June 3. He has a 12.86 ERA in nine outings since. Peralta struck out six and walked one. He's won all four of his regular-season starts against the Mets. Milwaukee has won 11 of its past 13 road games, including five in a row to equal a season best. Hard-throwing rookie Jacob Misiorowski (3–0, 1.13 ERA) makes his fourth major league start for Milwaukee in the nightcap. New York was waiting for the result of Game 1 before announcing whether rookie Blade Tidwell (0–1, 10.13) would start the nightcap or pitch bulk relief behind an opener.
