A's pitcher Gunnar Hoglund to miss rest of season after hip surgery
Hoglund, 25, experienced a setback while he was on the 15-day injured list with a left hip impingement. The operation was performed by Dr. Marc Phillipon in Colorado, and the A's said the pitcher is expected to recover in time for spring training.
Hoglund was selected by Toronto with the No. 19 pick in the 2021 amateur draft. He was projected as a potential top-10 pick before having Tommy John surgery leading up to the draft.
He was shipped off to the A's when the Blue Jays acquired All-Star third baseman Matt Chapman in March 2022.
Hoglund made his major league debut when he pitched six sparkling innings in a 6-1 win at Miami on May 2. He went 1-3 with a 6.40 ERA in six starts with the A's this year.

Braves place 5-time All-Star Ronald Acuña Jr. on the injured list with Achilles tendon inflammation
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Atlanta Braves put five-time All-Star Ronald Acuña Jr. on the 10-day injured list with right Achilles tendon inflammation Wednesday, though the exact severity of the injury to the slugging outfielder may not be known until additional testing is done. The Braves recalled outfielder Jarred Kelenic from Triple-A Gwinnett to take his place on the roster. Acuña first experienced discomfort in his calf area Monday night, when he scored from first on Austin Riley's double to help the Braves to a 10-7 victory over Kansas City. Acuña lobbied to play on Tuesday night and Braves manager Brian Snitker assented, only for Acuña to come up limping while trying to chase down a ball in right field in an eventual 9-6 loss. 'It happened when I scored from first to home on that play,' Acuña explained after the game, speaking through an interpreter. 'They are going to examine me (Wednesday) so we'll see how it goes.' Even after he came up limping, Acuña wanted to remain in the game. He headed out to his position in the field but saw Eli White trotting out to replace him. That Acuña was able to jog into the dugout at least generated some optimism that the injury to the Achilles tendon was not a complete tear and he could be back this season. 'I was kind of out there hoping they wouldn't hit it my way and of course any time you do that, they always hit it your way,' Acuña said. 'I told them (about the pain Monday) and everyone said: 'Take the day if you want it. You can have the day off.' I've missed so much time already through injuries I didn't want to miss any more time.' Acuña, the National League MVP in 2023, has dealt with injuries for much of his career. He missed time as a rookie in 2018 with a sprained left knee ligament, then tore the ACL in his right knee to end his 2021 season. Last year, he pivoted awkwardly as he was taking his lead on the bases and wound up tearing the ACL in his left knee, ending his season after 49 games. Only twice in eight seasons has Acuña managed to play more than 119 games. After missing the start of this season, Acuña returned May 23 and began playing at an All-Star level again. He was hitting .306 with 14 homers and 26 RBIs in 55 games, including a 2-for-4 night with a homer against the Royals on Monday night. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. 'It's an injury, I'm worried,' Acuña said of the latest issue, which comes amid a season in which Atlanta has been devastated by injuries — particularly to its starting rotation. 'It's more pain, but it feels kind of — I feel it a lot when I try to put pressure on it.' Kelenic, the sixth overall pick of Seattle in the 2018 amateur player draft, has struggled to live up to his potential. He hit .231 with 15 home runs and 45 RBIs in 131 games for Atlanta last season but was sent to Gwinnett in April of this season, after he hit .167 with two homers and just two RBIs over the first 23 games with the Braves. White is expected to be Acuña's primary replacement. He is hitting .255 with four homers and 18 RBIs in 72 games. ___ AP MLB:

McIntosh wins second gold at world swimming championships in Singapore
Canada's Summer McIntosh has won her second gold medal at the world swimming championships, taking the women's 200-metre individual medley on Monday. The 18-year-old Toronto native touched the wall in two minutes 6.69 seconds – nearly two seconds ahead of American Alex Walsh, who claimed silver in 2:08.58. Fellow Canadian Mary-Sophie Harvey, of Laval, Que., won bronze in 2:09.15. The winning time trailed McIntosh's world record of 2:05.70. And she was not content. 'Going in tonight, my goal was to get my hand on the wall first,' McIntosh said. 'So to get that done is good. I'm not super happy with my time. But honestly, at a world championships, my goal is just to go as fast as I can against my competitors. Still happy with the gold and hoping to keep up my streak next time.' Cathal Kelly: Summer McIntosh's star set to soar with Olympics still three years away For Harvey, it was her first-ever individual long-course worlds medal. The 25-year-old finished fourth in three events at the Paris Olympics, but finally broke through at her fourth long-course worlds. 'It's my first individual [medal] so I'm pretty happy about it and I think it set the tone nicely for the rest of the week,' Harvey said. 'It was pretty special to share the podium with one of my teammates,' Harvey said of McIntosh. 'She's pushing the boundaries for swimming in general, and to stand alongside her is just something I will cherish for a long time.' McIntosh said Harvey's breakthrough bronze was the highlight of her night. 'That was so incredible,' she said. 'She's worked so hard for this and to see her get the result I think she's over the moon about it. She deserves it, and to share that moment for Team Canada was amazing.' Yu Zidi, a Chinese 12-year-old phenom, finished fourth in 2:09.21, just missing a medal as she astounded the swim world with her times. She is also due to compete in the 400 IM and 200 butterfly, probably her strongest events. McIntosh is targeting five individual golds over the eight-day meet. Monday's win adds to the 400 freestyle gold she earned on the opening day of competition. She is also chasing individual titles in the 400 individual medley, 800 freestyle and the 200 butterfly over the next six days in Singapore. Famed Olympian Michael Phelps is the only swimmer to have won five individual gold medals at a world championships. Canada now has four medals at the world aquatics championships, including a silver in the women's 20-metre high diving by Montreal's Simone Leathead, which was the country's first medal of the competition. Also Monday, Kylie Masse of LaSalle, Ont., advanced to Tuesday's 100 backstroke final with a semi-final time of 58.66 seconds, the third-fastest of the round. Taylor Ruck of Kelowna, B.C., also moved on with a time of 59.18. Gretchen Walsh broke through on Monday with the first gold in Singapore for the United States, taking the 100 butterfly in 54.73. The silver medalist a year ago in Paris, Walsh was just off her world-record time of 54.60 set earlier this year. Roos Vanotterdijk of Belgium took silver in 55.84 and Alexandria Perkins of Australia claimed bronze in 56.33. Walsh acknowledged in a post-race interview at poolside that the American team had been hit with a bout of what team officials called 'acute gastroenteritis.' It was picked up at a training camp in Thailand before arrival in Singapore. U.S. officials have confirmed the outbreak but have given few details and did not name the swimmer nor say how many were affected. 'With the illness that's been going on – I faced it back the last couple days – my body has just been fragile, and I think that I've needed to give myself grace,' Walsh said. 'Luckily, I had the morning to recover and rest, and I used that, and that helped me enormously going into tonight, so I tried to make the most of it. 'It was not easy, and I'm just really proud of myself,' Walsh added, thrilled to be under 55 seconds. 'It took a lot of guts. I just wanted to go out there and do it for my team, just represent the flag well. It came out of somewhere, but I'm really, really happy.' Canada's backstroke big-gamer Kylie Masse focused on worlds, not 2028 L.A. Olympics Walsh's older sister Alex was almost even with McIntosh after 150 metres, swimming a strong breaststroke leg to make it a race. 'I was really excited on the breaststroke leg,' she said. 'I could see her and I knew I was kind of gaining on her because breaststroke is my best stroke. I was really excited and, obviously coming home on the freestyle, that's definitely where my biggest weakness (is).' Two other finals wrapped up Monday's schedule. Qin Haiyang, the world champion in 2023, defeated Paris Olympic winner Nicolo Martinenghi of Italy in the 100 breaststroke. Qin clocked 58.23 to give China its first gold in Singapore with the Italian swimmer finishing in 58.58. Denis Petrashov of Kyrgyzstan took bronze in 58.88. 'I've been injured and it's not been easy to get back to my best,' Haiyang said. 'I'm at best at 70 per cent. I'm probably lucky. This definitely helps with my confidence.' In the men's 50 butterfly, Maxime Grousset of France edged Noe Ponti of Switzerland. Grousset clocked 22.48 with Ponti finishing in 22.51. Thomas Ceccon of Italy took bronze in 22.67. In the four semi-finals, Paris Olympics bronze medalist Luke Hobson of the United States led 200 free qualifying (1:44.80), with Paris champion David Popovici of Romania in fourth (1:45.02). Hubert Kos of Hungary headed a very fast men's 100 backstroke in 52.21. American Regan Smith led the women's 100 backstroke (58.21) ahead of two-time Australian Olympic champion Kaylee McKeown (58.44). Kate Douglass of the United States swam a personal best in the 100 breaststroke (1:05.49) and will be the top seed in Tuesday's final. With files from The Associated Press
