Phillies slugger Bryce Harper is reinstated after injured list stint with sore wrist
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Phillies slugger Bryce Harper was reinstated Monday ahead of Philadelphia's opener against San Diego after a stint on the injured list with right wrist inflammation.
Harper went on the 10-day injured list on June 6.
The two-time National League MVP and eight-time All-Star is hitting .258 with nine home runs, 34 RBIs and eight stolen bases in 57 games. He also missed five games, from May 26 to June 2, with a bruised right elbow after being hit by a pitch from Atlanta's Spencer Strider.
Harper said when he went on the IL that he felt pain in the wrist during a large portion of last season, when he hit 30 homers while helping the Phillies win the NL East.
The Phillies entered Monday's game in first place in the division. They are 13-14 overall this season without Harper in the lineup.
To make room on the 26-man roster, infielder Buddy Kennedy was designated for assignment.

Virginia swimmer Gretchen Walsh wins the Honda Cup, given to top female college athlete
NEW YORK (AP) — Virginia swimmer Gretchen Walsh won the Honda Cup, given annually to the country's top female college athlete, on Monday night. She's the ninth swimmer to win the award and first since Simone Manuel in 2018. 'This year's Honda Cup winner, Gretchen Walsh, is nothing short of world-class,' said Chris Voelz, executive director of the Collegiate Women Sports Awards. 'Her performance at the national championships was extraordinary — shattering collegiate, American and even world records. 'We are incredibly proud of her accomplishments both in the pool and in the classroom, and we look forward to watching her continue to rise as she prepares for the World Championships and the 2028 Olympic Games. We're thrilled to welcome Gretchen to the CWSA family, joining the elite group of swimmers who have earned this prestigious honor before her.' The other two finalists for the award were UConn basketball star Paige Bueckers and Texas Tech softball pitcher NiJaree Canady. The top three were determined by votes from nearly 1,000 NCAA member schools, with the final Honda Cup recipient selected by the CWSA board of directors. Caitlin Clark won the award the previous two years. Walsh was a two-time Honda Award winner for swimming and diving. She helped Virginia to its fourth straight NCAA team title. She won seven NCAA championships this year, including the 50-yard freestyle, 100 freestyle and 100 butterfly, and concluded her collegiate career with 25 NCAA titles (nine individual). She was 16 for 16 in NCAA relay finals in her career. Walsh is the second Honda Cup winner from Virginia. Basketball star Dawn Staley won the award in 1991. In addition to their athletic performance, the Honda Cup honors college athletes for their leadership, academics and community service. ___ AP sports:

Argentina's soccer body investigates antisemitic acts by All Boys fans
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina's soccer governing body launched an investigation Monday into antisemitic acts by fans of second division club All Boys before and during a match against Atlanta. All Boys fans displayed a coffin painted in blue and yellow — Atlanta's colors — draped with an Israeli flag near the Malvinas Argentinas stadium before Sunday's 0-0 draw in the 20th round of the tournament, which determines promotion to the top flight. Some carried Palestinian and Iranian flags. Atlanta is historically linked to Argentina's Jewish community. During the match, a drone with the Palestinian flag flew over the field and some fans made inflammatory chants. The Argentine Football Association issued a statement expressing 'its total and absolute condemnation of the abhorrent acts of antisemitism committed by fans of the All Boys club.' 'This is not folklore,' the AFA said. 'This is discrimination.' Police in Buenos Aires police have issued infractions for inciting disorder, among other crimes, against fans of the club. Atlanta is located in the Villa Crespo neighborhood, where Jewish immigrants settled in the early 1900s. ___ AP soccer:

Create Account The Spurs lured centre Luke Kornet away from Boston with a four-year, $41-million deal, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team cannot announce the deal until the league's signing moratorium for most contracts is lifted on Sunday. Kornet was part of Boston's 2024 NBA title team and has shot 68% from the field in 205 games, mostly off the bench, over the last three regular seasons. He figures to add frontcourt depth to the Spurs, who are hoping to have Wembanyama — the 2023-24 NBA Rookie of the Year and an All-Star this past season — back and ready to go after he was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in a shoulder in February. The Rockets, meanwhile, added veteran forward Dorian Finney-Smith on a four-year, $53-million deal shortly after free agency opened. ESPN first reported the deal, and a person with knowledge of the agreement confirmed the terms to AP. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Read More Houston becomes Finney-Smith's fourth team after stints with Dallas, Brooklyn and the Los Angeles Lakers. He'll be added to a Rockets club that earlier this summer landed Kevin Durant in a blockbuster trade with Phoenix, though that deal cannot receive formal approval from the NBA until next week. Finney-Smith averaged 8.7 points and was a 41% shooter from 3-point range this past season. ESPN also reported that the Rockets' run on free agents continued with the addition of centre Clint Capela, who spent the first six years of his career in Houston before playing for the last five seasons in Atlanta. Capela agreed to a three-year deal with the Rockets. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Dallas, which needed some point guard help especially because the newly re-signed Kyrie Irving — rehabbing from an ACL tear — may not be ready to play until about midseason, agreed with D'Angelo Russell on a two-year contract worth nearly $13 million. Russell would be part of the backcourt depth on a club with an imposing front line that, if healthy, would include No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg, 10-time All-Star Anthony Davis and promising young centre Dereck Lively II. RECOMMENDED VIDEO The free agency period officially opened at 6 p.m. ET on Monday, but in actuality, was rolling long before that. LeBron James has already opted into a $52.6-million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers for this coming season, the Rockets traded for Durant — not a free-agency move, obviously — and the Los Angeles Clippers saw James Harden decline his option in return for a new deal and a raise. There was even a surprise addition to free agency, with Portland announcing it has bought out the contract of former No. 1 pick Deandre Ayton — making him able to sign with any team he chooses. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. And on Monday, even before the shopping window officially started, more deals: Nicolas Batum will come back to the Clippers, his agency said, on a two-year deal, while Joe Ingles agreed to return to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Deals like those could get done before the official start time because teams are allowed to negotiate with their own free agents once the NBA Finals are finished. Other deals In other deals confirmed by AP on Monday night: — Centre Kevon Looney agreed to a two-year deal with New Orleans, after he spent his first 10 seasons with Golden State. — Guard Caris LeVert will sign a two-year deal worth nearly $15 million annually with the Detroit Pistons, a team that won 14 games in 2023-24 and then won 44 games to earn the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference this past season. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The NBA announced Monday that it has set the salary cap for the coming season at $154.647 million, the maximum allowed 10% increase over the level for this past season. The tax level for the 2025-26 season is $187.895 million, the league said. What's already happened — Julius Randle returns to the Timberwolves with a potential $100-million deal. — Bobby Portis stays with the Bucks, keeping the popular sixth man in Milwaukee. — Duncan Robinson terminates his contract with the Heat, though he may return. What's next In very specific situations, teams can announce signings when completed. But in most situations, and this even applies to some draft-related trades (such as the one involving Durant going to Houston), teams won't be able to announce those until at least July 6. — AP Sports Writer Schuyler Dixon in Dallas contributed to this story.
