American forward Haji Wright's first hat trick in England leads Coventry over Sunderland 3-0
American forward Haji Wright scored his first hat trick in English soccer, helping Coventry to a 3-0 win over Sunderland on Saturday in the second tier League Championship. A 26-year-old from Los Angeles, Wright scored in the 21st minute, then converted a penalty kick in the 29th after he was fouled by Chris Mepham. Wright scored in the 73rd for his 10th goal in 19 league matches this season. Wright returned March 1 from an ankle injury that had sidelined him since Nov. 9. Because he still was regaining fitness, he was not selected for upcoming U.S. matches in the CONCACAF Nations League. Wright scored the U.S. goal in the second-round loss to the Netherlands at the 2022 World Cup. ___ AP soccer:

American forward Daryl Dike returns from second torn Achilles, plays first match in over a year
American forward Daryl Dike returned from his second torn Achilles tendon, playing his first match in just over a year when he entered for West Bromwich Albion in a 1-1 draw at Millwall on Saturday in England's second-tier League Championship. Dike tore his left Achilles against Ipswich on Feb. 10, 2024, just five games after returning from a ruptured right Achilles tendon. Dike ruptured right Achilles tendon against Stoke on April 15, 2023, and returned on Jan. 7, 2024, when he played the first half in an FA Cup match against Aldershot. Dike joined West Brom from Major League Soccer's Orlando in January 2022 and the 24-year-old has played in just 30 league matches and 33 overall. He sustained a season-ending hamstring injury in his first start, against Peterborough on Jan. 22, 2022, and tore a thigh muscle in the 2022-23 opener against Stoke on July 30, 2022. He returned that Nov. 12 in West Brom's last game before the World Cup break, then tore his right Achilles tendon the following spring. ___

Yankees' Marcus Stroman: 'I'm a starter. I won't pitch in the bullpen'
Marcus Stroman reported to New York Yankees spring training on Friday after missing the first two days of workouts and said he will refuse to pitch out of the bullpen. "I won't pitch in the bullpen. I'm a starter," he said, repeating "I'm a starter" seven times in a 13-second span. Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, Luis Gil and Clarke Schmidt are the Yankees' top five starters, and a bullpen role for Stroman appears possible if he isn't traded and the others don't get hurt. "We're building him up to be a starting pitcher and that's so far out there," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "As we go, when things come up, we'll address them." While the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets are planning six-man rotations, Boone said the Yankees are unlikely to do so. "Never say never. I don't necessarily see us doing that," Boone said. "Reality is we're probably getting 10, 11 guys ready to be starters and who knows how many of them you're going to have to use right away or at some point during the season?" Stroman is to throw a bullpen on Saturday. Among the shorter pitchers in the major leagues at 5-foot-7, he spoke of his durability. "How many people can stay healthy and do it 30-plus starts year after year and year, especially after being the one that they said could never do it at my size?" Stroman said. Though the 33-year-old right-hander isn't required to participate in spring training until Feb. 22, according to the collective bargaining agreement, most players arrive on the voluntary reporting date. "I just felt like today was a good day to come," Stroman said. "Valentine's Day, I feel like the vibes are going to be proper. Everyone's happy on this day." Stroman had spoken with Boone about the timing of his arrival. "I don't think there was a need for me to be here in the last few days given the climate," Stroman said. "I talked to Boonie. We had a great conversation. Everything's honestly perfect and seamless. And my relationship with the guys in the clubhouse hasn't changed. So I feel great to be back and I'm ready to roll." Stroman is due an $18 million salary in the second season of a $37 million, two-year contract. He has a conditional player option for 2026 that would be triggered if he pitches at least 140 innings this year. Stroman was 10-9 with a 4.31 ERA in his first season with the Yankees, making 29 starts and one relief appearance. He slumped to 0-3 with an 8.80 ERA in four September appearances and was left off the Division Series roster but added to the League Championship and World Series, though he didn't pitch in any games. He said he was willing to pitch in relief in October. "Playoffs, there's different roles. That calls for different — yeah, for you to be in different circumstances. I was completely fine with that," he said. "But overall, I'm a starter. I've been doing this 10-plus years and, like I said, not many people do it at that level or can stay healthy at the level that I do to go out there and give 30-plus starts that I do pretty routinely." Stroman is 87-85 with a 3.72 ERA in 10 major league seasons. "Glad he's here today," Boone said. "He really is in a good frame of mind and I think he's ready to go physically, mentally. Even had a fun, good talk with him and a couple of our coaches in my office just catching up, too, today. So he's ready to go, and it's our job to help him get ready and, yeah, hopefully put it behind us." Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
