AL East-Leading Blue Jays Place Infielder Andrés Giménez on Injured List With Left Ankle Sprain
Giménez left Toronto's 4–3 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. He had tweaked his left ankle covering second base on a steal on Wednesday against the New York Yankees and did not play Thursday as Toronto completed a sweep of the four-game series. His move to the IL was retroactive to Saturday. Giménez is batting .218 with five home runs and 23 RBIs for the AL East-leading Blue Jays.
In other moves before Sunday's game against Los Angeles, right-hander Ryan Burr was reinstated from the 60-day IL and outfielder Joey Loperfido was recalled from Triple-A. Also, right-hander Lazaro Estrada was optioned to Triple-A and outfielder Will Robertson was designated for assignment.
Burr had been sidelined with a right shoulder issue and did rehab with Triple-A Buffalo, where he struck out 17 in 12 1/3 innings over 11 games and went 1–0 with a 3.65 ERA.
Loperfido was in the lineup Sunday batting eighth and playing right field. This season in Triple-A, the 26-year-old is batting .278 with nine home runs and 36 RBIs.
Estrada made his big league debut against the Angels on Saturday, striking out four in four innings of relief.
Robertson made his MLB debut last month and saw action in three games. He had one hit and one RBI with Toronto.

Aces star A'ja Wilson injures her right wrist on a drive to the basket vs. the Liberty
Las Vegas star Aja Wilson injured her right wrist on a drive to the basket Tuesday night against the New York Liberty and left the game midway through the second quarter. The three-time MVP had a quiet first half before getting hurt with 4:13 left in the period. Wilson drove down the lane and landed awkwardly. She was on the floor for a few minutes as her Aces teammates rushed over to her side. Wilson got up and walked to the Las Vegas bench to an ovation from the Barclays Center crowd. Wilson made the first of two free throws–her only point of the half. She departed with 2:22 left in the half and headed to the locker room. She missed all three of her shot attempts but had four rebounds and two assists. She didn't come out for second-half warmups, and the team said she was out for the remainder of the contest. Wilson came in averaging 21.9 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 3.3 assists. Earlier in the night Wilson was selected by Caitlin Clark to play on her team at the All-Star Game on July 19 in Indianapolis.

Brewers' Rhys Hoskins Says He Expects Thumb Sprain To Keep Him Out For 6 Weeks
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins says he expects to miss about six weeks as he recovers from a sprained left thumb. Hoskins said Tuesday he has an ulnar collateral ligament sprain as well as a little bone bruise. 'I was told about six weeks,' Hoskins said before the Brewers played the Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday night. 'Some are eight, some are four. I'd think pretty conservative was that six-week mark. At least that's what I'm going to have in my head and what my goal is to hopefully rejoin this team.' Hoskins hurt the thumb during the Brewers' 4–2 loss at Miami on Saturday and was placed on the injured list Monday. The injury occurred after he stepped off first base to catch shortstop Joey Ortiz's throw and tag Eric Wagaman. 'Just part of the game, unfortunately,' Hoskins said. 'The timing of the play didn't allow me to, I guess, tag him in a safer manner.' Hoskins, 32, is batting .242 with 12 home runs and 42 RBIs in 82 games. Andrew Vaughn and Jake Bauers figure to split time at first base while Hoskins is out. Vaughn, who came over from the Chicago White Sox in a trade last month, got called up from the minors Monday and hit a three-run homer off Dodgers All-Star right-hander Yoshibu Yamamoto in his first plate appearance with the Brewers. Bauers is hitting .212 with five home runs and 18 RBIs in 55 games.

Loperfido homers as the Blue Jays beat the White Sox 8-4 for their 9th consecutive win
Joey Loperfido homered and drove in three runs, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Chicago White Sox 8–4 on Monday night for their ninth consecutive win. Addison Barger and Nathan Lukes also connected as AL East–leading Toronto improved to 27–10 in its last 37 games. Bo Bichette had two hits, and All-Star slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. walked three times. At 53–38, the Blue Jays matched the franchise record for most victories before the All-Star break. It's the longest win streak for the team since an 11-game run in August 2015. José Berríos (5–3) pitched six innings of one-run ball, bouncing back nicely after he struggled in a no-decision against the New York Yankees on Wednesday. The right-hander improved to 16–6 with a 2.96 ERA in 27 career starts against Chicago. Mike Tauchman had three hits and two RBIs for the last-place White Sox, who won two of three at Toronto last month. Colson Montgomery, one of the team's top prospects, went 0 for 3 with a walk in his home debut. The Blue Jays opened an 8–1 lead when they scored five times in the sixth. Barger hit a two-run drive off Sean Burke for his 12th homer, and Loperfido chopped a two-run single over a drawn-in infield. Burke (4–8) was charged with six runs and six hits in five-plus innings. The right-hander allowed two earned runs in 16 1/3 innings over his previous three outings. Key moment: Loperfido and Lukes hit back-to-back homers in the fifth, giving Toronto a 3–1 lead. It was Loperfido's first homer of the season and No. 5 for his career. Key stat: It was Chicago's eighth consecutive home loss against Toronto. Up next: Chris Bassitt (8–4, 4.32 ERA) starts for Toronto on Tuesday night, and fellow right-hander Aaron Civale (0–3, 4.29 ERA) pitches for Chicago.
