Daxton Bennick suffers a compression fracture of a vertebra in Philadelphia crash
The timeline for his return to racing has not been announced.
'Happy to be somewhat ok from the crash in Philly,' Bennick posted on social media. "[I] got cross-jumped pretty hard after a bad start in the main, just trying to get through the pack. I [suffered a] compression fracture [of] a vertebra in my back and was knocked out for a short amount of time. Me and the team are gonna start working on a plan to get my recovery going and to come back when I'm ready. I have a great group around me and wanna say thanks to everyone reaching out.'
The compression fracture will not require surgery.
Bennick entered Philadelphia with back-to-back top-five finishes in Birmingham, Alabama, and Foxborough, Massachusetts. His best finish of the season was a second in the 250 East season-opener in Tampa, Florida.
Bennick was eighth in the 250 East standings before the crash, one point behind the injured Max Anstie and four behind Nate Thrasher for sixth in the standings.
The injury report from the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing team also referenced the concussion he suffered.

Brett Baty Earns Praise From Carlos Mendoza After Mets' Win Over Angels
Brett Baty Earns Praise From Carlos Mendoza After Mets' Win Over Angels originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Mets have several of baseball's best players, but they also have an unexpected hero. Infielder Brett Baty is having a career year, and he continued his good form in Monday's 7-5 win over the Los Angeles Angels. The 25-year-old went 1-for-3 with a homer, two RBI, a walk, and two runs scored in the contest. His two-run homer to center in the bottom of the fourth inning brought the score to 4-2 in favor of Los Angeles. Baty is now slashing .237/.295/.431 with 11 homers and 33 RBI over 79 games. The 6-foot-3-inch, 210-pounder's batting average, OPS, and homers are all career-highs. New York manager Carlos Mendoza discussed Baty's growth after Monday's game, via SNY. "[He's] a confident player that's getting results. He knows he's gonna be in the lineup, and he continues to help us win a baseball game...A lot of times, when you come from the minor leagues, it takes some time. It's like, 'Hey man, it's a team effort here...' If you get a guy over and make a play, you're 0-for-4, but you're still contributing." "I feel like he's getting to a point now where he knows that every little thing he does, he knows it's just good to see him continue to develop here." The Mets selected Baty No. 12 overall in the 2019 MLB Draft. They called him up to the big leagues for the first time in August 2022, and he hit a homer in his first at-bat. New York remains a half-game behind the Philadelphia Phillies atop the NL East after Monday's slate. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 22, 2025, where it first appeared.

Cubs add pitching depth with Michael Soroka, Andrew Kittredge
The Chicago Cubs bolstered their pitching staff ahead of the trade deadline by adding right-handers Michael Soroka from the Washington Nationals and Andrew Kittredge from the Baltimore Orioles. Washington received minor league infielder Ronny Cruz and outfielder Christian Franklin in the Soroka trade. Baltimore got minor league infielder Wilfri De La Cruz in return for Kittredge. An All-Star in 2019 with Atlanta, the 27-year-old Soroka is 3-8 with a 4.87 ERA this season for the Nationals, who signed him to a one-year, $9 million contract in the offseason. He should provide depth in the Cubs' rotation behind Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga. The Canadian is 20-26 with a 3.91 ERA in six major league seasons. He tore his right Achilles tendon on a routine fielding play in 2020, and then injured the same tendon while walking into Atlanta's ballpark the following year. He missed the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Soroka went 0-10 with a 4.74 ERA last season for the Chicago White Sox. The 35-year-old Kittredge was an All-Star in 2021 and has a 3.44 ERA over nine seasons. The reliever has a 3.45 ERA in 31 games this season. He signed a $9 million, one-year deal with Baltimore last offseason that includes a $9 million club option for 2026 with a $1 million buyout. The Cubs trail the division-leading Milwaukee Brewers by one game after beating them 10-3. Chicago gave a contract extension to president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer, who has assembled an entertaining squad led by breakout star Pete Crow-Armstrong. The Cubs have not won a playoff series since 2017, the year after they won their first World Series in 108 years. The Nationals are last in the NL East and fired general manager Mike Rizzo and manager Dave Martinez. Soroka was pulled after allowing two runs in 3 1/3 innings at Houston as the Nationals shopped him. He has allowed three runs or fewer in seven of his last eight starts. Washington also dealt relievers Andrew Chafin and Luis García to the Los Angeles Angels for prospects, and veterans Kyle Finnegan, Josh Bell and Paul DeJong are candidates to be traded before the deadline. The 18-year-old Cruz joins Washington's farm system after batting .270 this season for the Cubs' Rookie-level Arizona Complex League squad. The 25-year-old Franklin is batting .265 with eight homers this season for Triple-A Iowa. The 17-year-old De La Cruz was one of Chicago's top international signings in 2025 as a switch-hitter with power potential. He was ranked the Cubs' 20th-best prospect by Baseball America prior to the trade.

Mets star Francisco Lindor says his job is to 'play shortstop,' not to worry about trade deadline moves
Print Close By Ryan Canfield Published July 31, 2025 Major League Baseball's trade deadline is Thursday at 6 p.m. ET, and the New York Mets are in the midst of a race for the National League East division crown with the Philadelphia Phillies. However, Mets star shortstop Francisco Lindor is not worried about what the Mets may or may not do ahead of the trade deadline. "I don't worry about adding or subtracting that is not my job. My job is to play shortstop, (I) let (the front office worry) about that, I don't have to worry about that one," Lindor told Fox News Digital last week after talking about Miracle Treat Day at DQ. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON The Mets (62-47) currently hold a half-game lead over the Phillies (61-47) for first place in the NL East. The Mets have already made a few moves before the deadline to strengthen their bullpen, as they acquired two-time All-Star reliever Gregory Soto from the Baltimore Orioles, setup man Tyler Rogers from the San Francisco Giants and two-time All-Star closer Ryan Helsley from the St. Louis Cardinals. Soto has a 3.79 ERA with 46 strikeouts in 38 innings between the Orioles and Mets this season. Rogers has been great for the Giants as he pitched to a 1.80 ERA in 50 innings, while Helsley recorded 21 saves with a 3.00 for the Cardinals. METS' FRANCISCO LINDOR PARTNERS WITH DAIRY QUEEN FOR 'MIRACLE TREAT DAY' IMPACTING CHILDREN'S HOSPITALS The Phillies also made a big trade to bolster their bullpen, as they acquired closer Jhoan Duran from the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday. Duran has a 2.01 ERA with 16 saves in 49.1 innings pitched. The Mets are also rumored to be interested in acquiring a center fielder, but for Lindor, his focus is on the Mets trying to be the "best version" of themselves. "We just got to continue to be ourselves and continue to play the game the right way and push for each other and support each other to try to be the best version of ourselves," Lindor said. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP The 31-year-old star shortstop is once again having another strong season for the Mets. Lindor has a .246 batting average with 20 home runs, 59 RBIs and 17 stolen bases while playing an outstanding shortstop. Lindor was named to the National League All-Star team this season, alongside Mets' first baseman Pete Alonso, closer Edwin Diaz and starting pitcher David Peterson.
