Diamondbacks infielder Pavin Smith heads to the injured list with a strained right oblique
Arizona also placed right-hander Ryan Thompson on the 15-day injured list with a strained scapular, retroactive to Saturday, and recalled right-hander Bryce Jarvis from Reno before Sunday's game against Kansas City.
Right-hander Tommy Henry was recalled to the big league roster and placed on the 60-day injured list with a right elbow injury to make room for English on the 40-man roster.
Smith is hitting .261 with eight homers and 28 RBIs in 79 games while primarily splitting time between first base and designated hitter.

Yankees' Aaron Judge makes three outstanding catches, robs Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong
NEW YORK — As Aaron Judge jumped above the wall and tumbled to the turf, Carlos Rodón worried. 'I'm like, `Pplease don't dive. Please stay on your feet,'' the New York Yankees pitcher said. 'Obviously, I wanted him to dive there and he made the play and I'm grateful he got up because that's a big body.' Judge made three outstanding catches in right field on Friday night, saving three runs in an 11-0 rout of the Chicago Cubs that extended the New York Yankees' winning streak to five following a six-game slide. Cody Bellinger hit a trio of two-run homers against his former team. A two-time MVP at age 33, Judge gets attention for his offense: a major league-best .354 average with 34 homers and 79 RBIs. His defense is just as striking. The 6-foot-7, 282-pound Judge leaped at the right-field wall to catch a 327-foot drive by Peter Crow-Armstrong against Rodón in the fourth inning, preventing would have been Crow-Armstrong's 26th home run. 'I think robbing a homer is probably the best, just to keep a run off the board,' Judge said. When Judge caught the ball, it was about 15 inches over the top of the wall. PCA waved an arm at him in frustration and acknowledgement. 'He knows we work hard for our hits and our homers,' Crow-Armstrong said. 'He's having an unbelievable year and that was me just being like, come on man, like you got to take them away too?' Judge's glove avoided the outstretched arms of a fan in a Yankees jersey, who reached over the fence with one hand but missed the ball. After the grab, Judge bowed his head and smiled. 'I've hit a couple fans already this year, so I tried to make sure I didn't get that one,' Judge said. Two pitches later, Judge rushed in and made a sliding backhand grab on Dansby Swanson's sinking liner for the third out of the inning. By the mound, Rodón held out his hands while shaking his head in amazement. With runners at the corners, two outs in the eighth and a full count, Judge sprinted to deny Kyle Tucker of an extra-base hit, catching the ball just before the right-field foul line and sliding on his chest across the warning track. His pinstripes were soiled with dirt when he got up. 'It's tough, but it's my job. I got a job to do out there. That's why they got me playing out there,' he said. 'If the ball's hit in your direction, you got to make a play.' Judge's catch caught Aaron Boone's attention. 'My first thought was a little nervous, just going over there and sliding on the dirt pretty hard, like making sure the big guy was OK,' the manager said. Judge doesn't think about sprained right big toe sustained when he ran into the Dodger Stadium fence on June 3, 2023, causing him to miss 42 games and hit far from his standard when he returned. 'That was kind of a freak thing,' Judge said. 'You can't let it hold me back.' He took time after his last catch to gain his composure. 'I felt like I was running a mile to get to that ball,' he said. 'I don't think I'm getting older but sometimes it feels like it after it catches like that.'

The Alcaraz-Sinner final at Wimbledon is the first French Open rematch since Federer-Nadal in 2008
Associated Press LONDON (AP) — It's fitting that the Wimbledon final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner on Sunday represents the first time the same two men meet for that title right after playing for the French Open trophy since a couple of guys named Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal did so every year from 2006-2008. That's because the only real competition the No. 1-ranked Sinner and the No. 2-ranked Alcaraz face at the moment comes from each other — not anyone else currently on the men's tennis tour — and the only comparisons that feel somewhat appropriate come by measuring them against the greatness of the Big Three. Let's be clear: It's too early to put Alcaraz or Sinner in a class with Federer and Nadal — each retired with at least 20 Grand Slam titles — or Novak Djokovic, who is still going at age 38 with 24 majors. But as Djokovic himself put it: "We know they're the dominant force right now." Sinner and Alcaraz have combined to win the past 6 major titles They have combined to win the last six majors, a streak that will grow to seven on Sunday. Go further back, and it'll be nine of the past 12 Slams (the others in that span went to Djokovic). Alcaraz, a 22-year-old from Spain, already owns five such trophies; Sinner, a 23-year-old from Italy, has three. Their combined age is the lowest for Wimbledon men's finalists since Federer, just shy of 25, faced Nadal, 20, in 2006. 'We are still really young. So I just hope ... (we) keep doing the right things for, I don't know, the next, I don't know, five, 10 years," Alcaraz said, 'just to (put) our rivalry (on) the same table as those players.' Alcaraz is on a 24-match winning streak and eyes a 3rd Wimbledon trophy He is on a 24-match unbeaten run currently, plus has won 20 in a row at Wimbledon as he pursues a third consecutive title. Sinner is participating in his fourth consecutive major final, including victories at the U.S. Open and the Australian Open. 'The anticipation for this final is big, is amazing," Djokovic said. Alcaraz vs. Sinner demands attention. When Alcaraz fought back from a two-set deficit and erased three championship points to defeat Sinner in five sets spread across 5 hours, 29 minutes at Roland-Garros last month, there were immediate comparisons to what many consider the greatest men's tennis match ever: Nadal's win over Federer in five sets at the All England Club in 2008. Sinner says his rivalry with Alcaraz is good for tennis 'It's good for the sport,' said Sinner, who said his right elbow that was hurt in a fall in the fourth round and was covered by tape and an arm sleeve in his semifinal victory over Djokovic won't be an issue Sunday. 'The more rivalries we have from now on, the better it is, because people want to see young players going against each other.' Like Federer and Nadal, these two go about winning differently. Sinner boasts metronomic precision with his pure and powerful groundstrokes generated by his long limbs, force-blunting returns and a serve that might be the most dangerous on tour. Alcaraz is a master of creativity and versatility with speed to spare, able to hammer shots from the baseline or charge the net or end a point with a well-disguised drop shot. 'They bring out the best in each other. It's going to come down to just the big moments. It's so tough to call it,' said Taylor Fritz, the runner-up to Sinner at Flushing Meadows and beaten by Alcaraz on Friday. 'They both generate a lot of just raw power. But I think for me, it's a little more uncomfortable to play Carlos, just because of the unpredictability of what he's going to do.' Will the French Open final matter when Alcaraz plays Sinner at Wimbledon? How will what happened in Paris just five weeks ago affect things? Will Alcaraz carry extra confidence from his fifth straight win over Sinner? Will Sinner bear a mental burden from the way he let one get away or figure out what went wrong and correct it? Alcaraz doesn't think that loss will affect Sinner this time. Sinner said he rested and relaxed for a couple of days following that setback, eating barbecued food with family and playing ping-pong with friends, before getting back to business. If he truly were devastated, he argued, he wouldn't have reached his first Wimbledon final so soon after. 'Let's hope it's another beautiful match played at a very high level,' Sinner said, "and may the best man win." ___ Howard Fendrich has been the AP's tennis writer since 2002.
