Astros place 3rd baseman Paredes on 10-day IL with right hamstring strain
SEATTLE (AP) — Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right hamstring strain.
Paredes was injured running to first base on a single to left field during Saturday night's 7-6, 11-inning loss to the Seattle Mariners. Paredes left the game and was replaced by Zack Short. The 26-year-old is hitting .259 with 19 home runs and 50 RBIs this season.
Additionally, catcher Cesar Salazar was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land. In corresponding moves, infielders Shay Whitcomb and Jon Singleton were recalled from Sugar Land.
To make room for Singleton on the Astros' 40-man roster, infielder Brendan Rodgers was transferred to the 60-day injured list. Rodgers sustained a concussion and a broken nose when he collided with a teammate during a minor league rehab assignment, the team said Saturday.
The 28-year-old Rodgers was playing for Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday in the first game of his rehab assignment when the collision occurred in the third inning. He had been sidelined since June 15 with a left oblique strain.
Rodgers is batting .191 with two homers and 11 RBIs in 43 games for Houston this season.

Jannik Sinner rehires the fitness coach he fired for playing a role in his doping case
ROME (AP) — Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner has rehired Umberto Ferrara as his fitness coach nearly a year after firing him for his role in the top-ranked player's doping case. The move comes after Sinner recently removed fitness coach Marco Panichi and physiotherapist Ulises Badio from his team. 'Umberto has played an important role in Jannik's development to date, and his return reflects a renewed focus on continuity and performance at the highest level,' a statement from Sinner's team said Wednesday. Last year, Sinner tested positive twice for a trace amount of an anabolic steroid in March; the case wasn't made public until August, shortly before the U.S. Open, which he ended up winning for the second of his four Grand Slam titles. He initially was completely cleared, based on the defense that he accidentally was exposed to the banned substance, Clostebol, via a massage from his then-physiotherapist, Giacomo Naldi. Sinner said his fitness trainer at the time, Ferrara, purchased a product in Italy and gave it to Naldi for a cut on Naldi's finger. Naldi then treated Sinner while not wearing gloves. Sinner then fired Naldi and Ferrara, and Ferrara was hired briefly by Matteo Berrettini, another Italian player. The World Anti-Doping Agency appealed the exoneration, and Sinner agreed to serve a three-month ban that ended right before the Italian Open in May of this year. Sinner, who won Wimbledon this month, will return to action at the Cincinnati Open next month as he prepares to defend his U.S. Open title. ___ AP tennis:
