Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert will start Monday against Red Sox
Associated Press SEATTLE (AP) — Right-hander Logan Gilbert will be activated from the 15-day injured list and start for the Seattle Mariners on Monday against the Boston Red Sox, manager Dan Wilson told reporters Sunday morning. Gilbert, 28, has been on the IL since April 26 because of a right elbow flexor strain. He has made three appearances for Triple-A Tacoma as part of a rehab assignment, going 0-0 with a 2.79 ERA and 11 strikeouts in 9 ⅔ innings. This season, Gilbert is 1-1 with a 2.37 ERA in six starts for the Mariners, striking out 44 and walking six in 30 1/3 innings. Gilbert was sixth in AL Cy Young Award voting last year, when he went 9-12 with a 3.23 ERA. He has made at least 32 starts each of the past three seasons, and is 42-31 with a 3.55 ERA in five major league seasons. Gilbert's return should aid a Seattle rotation that has struggled while dealing with injuries this season. Mariners starters have a 4.09 ERA this season, which is tied for 18th-best in the majors. Last year, Seattle's rotation had the lowest ERA in the league. ___ AP MLB: recommended in this topic

Rory McIlroy ends his US Open on a high note with a 67. The next major is in his home country
Associated Press OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — Rory McIlroy could leave Oakmont feeling like he accomplished something, even if it took the full four days for him to produce a truly impressive round. McIlroy shot a 3-under 67 on Sunday, finishing the U.S. Open at 7 over and giving himself a performance he can build off as he works toward the year's final major — next month's British Open at Royal Portrush in his home country of Northern Ireland. 'It will be amazing to go home and play in that atmosphere and see a lot of people,' McIlroy said. 'I'm really looking forward to it. It was nice to end this week with a bit of a positive note with the way I played today.' McIlroy skipped talking to the media after his first two rounds this week, and much of his availability Saturday was spent being asked why. His golf was a bigger topic Sunday. It had been unremarkable through three days, but he at least momentarily had Sunday's low round after finishing with six birdies — four on the back nine. 'Physically I feel like my game's there,' he said. 'It's just mentally getting myself in the right frame of mind to get the best out of myself.' That's been a theme for McIlroy lately when he has talked. Winning the Masters and completing the career Grand Slam was a seismic moment in his career, and returning to those heights has been a struggle. 'Look, I climbed my Everest in April, and I think after you do something like that, you've got to make your way back down, and you've got to look for another mountain to climb,' he said. 'An Open at Portrush is certainly one of those.' First, McIlroy has the Travelers Championship in Connecticut next week. And the Scottish Open is a week before Royal Portrush. In addition to finding motivation, McIlroy has needed to work out some issues on the tee after his driver was deemed nonconforming before the PGA Championship. In that respect, Oakmont was a step forward — even if at times this week he seemed eager to leave this course behind. 'I feel like I've driven the ball well all week,' McIlroy said. 'Really encouraged with the driver and how I drove it as well. It's not necessarily the driver, it's more me and sort of where my swing was. I feel like I got a really good feeling in my swing with the driver, which was great. Hopefully I can continue that on into next week.' After the Travelers, a return to the other side of the Atlantic looms, and McIlroy is looking forward to it. "If I can't get motivated to get up for an Open Championship at home, then I don't know what can motivate me," he said. 'I just need to get myself in the right frame of mind. I probably haven't been there the last few weeks.' ___ AP golf: recommended in this topic

German qualifier Tatjana Maria wins Queen's Club final at age 37
Associated Press LONDON (AP) — German qualifier Tatjana Maria proclaimed herself 'Queen of Queen's' after winning the Wimbledon warm-up tournament at the Queen's Club for the biggest title of her career on Sunday. The 37-year-old mother of two claimed her first WTA 500 title with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over eighth-seeded Amanda Anisimova in the grass-court final in London. The 86th-ranked Maria won in front of her daughters Charlotte and Cecilia, and her husband and coach Charles-Edouard Maria. 'It means a lot to me," Maria said. 'I'm a good example that even in my age you still can win big trophies. I'm super proud of myself." On the way to her fourth WTA title, she eliminated four top 20 players, including Karolina Muchova, Elena Rybakina and Madison Keys, to become the oldest singles champion on the WTA Tour since 2020, when Serena Williams won the Auckland Classic at age 38. Maria previously won WTA titles on grass at Mallorca in 2018, and triumphed twice on clay in Bogota in 2022 and 2023. Maria, a former Wimbledon semifinalist, will jump to No. 43 in the world rankings on Monday. ___ AP tennis:
