Wrexham star forced to undergo surgery and banned from flying back from New Zealand tour
JACK MARRIOTT could miss the start of Wrexham's season after having his appendix removed. The 30-year-old striker is currently with Phil Parkinson's side for their pre-season tour of Australia and New Zealand. 1 But Marriott will be stuck Down Under for several more weeks after suffering from appendicitis. He is unable to fly after going under the knife, with official NHS advice recommending a rest period of at least two weeks post-surgery – and even longer for active sportsmen. Marriott, who featured in friendlies against Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC, will now miss Wrexham's final match against Wellington Phoenix in New Zealand. He will also be unable to jet back to Wales with his teammates until he has made a full recovery. And Marriott is now in a race against time to be fit for Wrexham's crunch Championship opener against Southampton on August 9. He's not the only star to have suffered away from home, with Ollie Rathbone picking up an ankle injury in the 2-1 defeat to Sydney. Boss Parkinson groaned: 'Jack is in hospital, he has had his appendix out this morning so we are a bit short in terms of our strikers department since we have been over here. "Hopefully the operation has gone well but it looks like he is going to have to stay over here longer because he won't be able to fly back. "Over the course of a trip like this, you expect a couple of injuries but I'm obviously disappointed with those two. "Particularly Ollie because we know once Jack has got the operation done, it won't be long before he's back.' Wrexham stars celebrate in iconic Las Vegas casino and hijack luggage cart after Hollywood owners splash £500k on party Marriott's potential absence would be a huge blow for Ryan Reynolds' Hollywood side, with the forward having fought back from a broken leg last October. Fan favourite Paul Mullin has been loaned to Wigan after a rapid fall from grace, while fellow strikers Steven Fletcher and Sam Dalby have also been given the boot. It leaves new signing Ryan Hardie, Jay Rodriguez and Sam Smith as Wrexham's attacking options alongside veteran Ollie Palmer. Meanwhile, Wrexham are close to signing Kiwi international Liberato Cacace from Italian side Empoli. They also agreed a record £5million move for Nottingham Forest midfielder Lewis O'Brien earlier this month. But SunSport exclusively revealed that his salary demands were holding up a move, with no breakthrough found so far.

Bastianini to return for Czech GP, injured Morbidelli and Vinales out
KTM Tech3's Enea Bastianini will return at this weekend's Czech Grand Prix after recovering from appendicitis but his teammate Maverick Vinales and VR46 Racing's Franco Morbidelli will sit out with injuries, their MotoGP teams said on Wednesday. Bastianini, who joined Tech3 from Ducati last year, missed the entire German Grand Prix weekend after being hospitalised but is expected to return to the track on Friday. "It was really tough for me to remain in bed for so long and unable to join the team at the German Grand Prix, but I gave myself the time to recover properly in order to arrive in Brno in good shape," Bastianini said in a statement. Morbidelli crashed heavily on lap four of the German Grand Prix sprint where the Italian rider was thrown off his bike and sent tumbling across the gravel. He was diagnosed with a severe contusion to the left collarbone and VR46 Racing said he would miss the Czech Grand Prix, with no replacement announced. "Following two days of medical checks, physiotherapy sessions and rest, we decided together with the team to miss this GP at Brno," said Morbidelli, who is fifth in the championship, 205 points behind leader Marc Marquez. "It's always difficult to take decisions like this, but after a heavy crash like the one I had in Sachsenring - and in this moment of the championship before the summer break - it doesn't make any sense to take risks, because the pain is still persistent." Spaniard Vinales underwent surgery on Sunday for a fractured left shoulder after he suffered a highside crash in qualifying, paving the way for compatriot Pol Espargaro to make his return with Tech3, a team he debuted with in MotoGP back in 2014. "It's been a long time since our last visit to Brno, which is a fantastic track," said Espargaro, who has not raced in MotoGP for nearly a year after featuring as a wildcard for KTM last season. "The last time we raced here I felt super-good in my best period with KTM so let's see how it is with the new surface." The Czech Grand Prix will also mark the return of Aprilia's Jorge Martin after the reigning MotoGP champion recovered from injuries he suffered in a crash at the Qatar Grand Prix in April.

Jordan Walker Addresses IL Stints, Team Struggles Ahead of Cardinals-Cubs Series
Jordan Walker Addresses IL Stints, Team Struggles Ahead of Cardinals-Cubs Series originally appeared on Athlon Sports. St. Louis Cardinals right fielder Jordan Walker began a rehab stint with Double-A Springfield on Thursday while he remains sidelined due to appendicitis. Advertisement The 23-year-old former top prospect spoke with Athlon Sports and local Springfield media before his first game, providing an update on his health as he returns to action following his treatment. "I didn't have to have surgery. Luckily the antibiotics worked, and the swelling went down, so I started feeling a lot better and I was really lucky," Walker said. "(The doctors) said that once (the appendicitis) went away, it should be gone for good, but you never know for sure ... As of right now, I feel really good ... I'm ready to get going." After returning to the team on June 14 after completing rehab for left wrist inflammation - which placed him on the 10-day IL in late May - Walker played in just eight games with the big league club before once again hitting the IL due to his current injury. Advertisement "I chalk it up as bad luck," Walker said of his multiple absences from the team this year. "But, you know, I keep going and I'm starting to feel good now, so I just have to look to the future and look forward." St. Louis Cardinals right fielder Jordan Walker slides into home plate in extra innings of game two of a doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox on June Krzaczynski-Imagn Images The former first round pick also spoke on the team's recent struggles and how hitting coach Brant Brown has impacted the Cardinals' ability to turn the page and move forward. "I think that's just how baseball goes," Walker said of the Pittsburgh Pirates recent sweep of the Cardinals. "People are so quick to forget the series before, they just swept the Guardians," he said "The offense was wonderful there, sometimes you're just not going to be able to hit all the time ... The attitude hasn't changed. As a team, we expected there to be ups and downs through the season. A series like that is definitely a tough blow, but nobody's head was down, and everyone is excited for the next series." Advertisement Walker attributed the team's mental toughness at the plate to Brown's tactics and plans he puts in place for Cardinals' hitters. "There's not a lot that (Brown) doesn't know when it comes to hitting," he said. "When it comes to preparation and (knowing) what you want to do against a guy, I think he's the best there is."

Cardinals place outfielder on IL with appendicitis, but there's a bright side
The post Cardinals place outfielder on IL with appendicitis, but there's a bright side appeared first on ClutchPoints. The last week had been going swimmingly for the St. Louis Cardinals. They finished off the Chicago White Sox, took a series from the Cincinnati Reds, won the first two games of their divisional showdown with the Chicago Cubs, and occupied a National League Wild Card slot. Their luck is turning a bit, however, as we near the weekend. The team placed breakout designated hitter/catcher Ivan Herrera on the injured list with a hamstring strain on June 20 and ended up splitting its series with the Cubbies. Advertisement Before the Cards fell 3-0 against the returning Shota Imanaga and NL West-leading Chicago — getting outscored 11-0 the last two days — they had more disappointing business to address. Former top prospect Jordan Walker is also heading to the IL. He has appendicitis, which is especially unsettling considering he recently returned to action after sustaining wrist inflammation at the end of May. There is at least some encouraging news to come out of the overall unfortunate situation, though. The 23-year-old right fielder does not require surgery and was able to return home on Wednesday, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Hence, Walker's recovery time will be much quicker than it could have been. Nevertheless, this is another setback for a player who has yet to meet expectations. Walker, the No. 21 overall pick in the 2020 MLB Draft, is batting only .210 with three home runs, 23 RBIs and a .562 OPS through 55 games this season. He has admittedly endured plenty of adversity during his tenure with the Cardinals, struggling to gain consistent playing time over the last two and a half seasons. Both the organization and fans desperately hope the 6-foot-6 talent can still emerge as a productive hitter in St. Louis. But first, he must get healthy. Jordan Walker is currently taking antibiotics as he works toward rejoining the Cards (44-38) at some point shortly. Meanwhile, the team is focused on getting back on track when it battles the Cleveland Guardians (40-39) on Friday night.

Cardinals place OF Jordan Walker on 10-day IL with appendicitis retroactive to Monday
St. Louis Cardinals' Jordan Walker scores on a one-run single by Nolan Arenado during the 10th inning in the second baseball game of a doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox Thursday, June 19, 2025. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh) ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals have placed outfielder Jordan Walker on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Monday with appendicitis, the team announced Wednesday. The team also recalled infielder José Fermín from Triple-A Memphis. Advertisement Walker was first examined by the team's medical staff after feeling discomfort before batting practice on Tuesday, Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said. 'They wanted to rule out appendix,' Marmol said. 'They sent him to go get some imaging and it came back as early signs of it. They felt like holding him overnight was important to make sure that they can have a good assessment of if antibiotics treatment over having to go in and get it, and that's the route that was taken.' Walker is expected to be able to resume baseball activities in four to five days. The 23-year-old Walker is hitting .210 with three home runs and 23 RBIs in 55 games in his third major league season. Fermín has played parts of the last two seasons for the Cardinals and is hitting .308 with five home runs and 34 RBIs with Memphis this season. ___ AP MLB:
