Mariners RHP Bryce Miller (elbow) heading back to IL
Manager Dan Wilson confirmed the news after Monday's 8-4 loss in 11 innings to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
"It's the same issue as he had the last time. The cortisone shot wasn't as helpful as we had hoped," Wilson said, per the Seattle Times.
Miller, 26, came off the injured list on May 31 and made two starts. He allowed five runs on six hits in five innings in his most recent effort, a 5-4 loss to the Los Angeles Angels last Friday.
Miller is 2-5 with a 5.73 ERA through 10 starts in his third season with Seattle. He is 22-20 with a 3.82 ERA in 66 career appearances (all starts).
The Mariners recalled right-hander Logan Evans, 24, from Triple-A Tacoma to start Tuesday's game against Arizona, with right-hander Bryan Woo's start pushed back to Wednesday.

U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee will comply with Trump's ban on trans women in women's sports
The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee will enforce President Trump 's ban on transgender women competing in women's sports. The updated 27-page document titled 'U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee Policy' was published Friday and appeared on the USOPC 's website Monday and failed to make any reference to the word 'transgender.' USOPC officials said that they were 'committed to protecting opportunities for athletes participating in sport' by complying with Executive Order 14201 and the Ted Stevens Olympic & Amateur Sports Act. The update would 'ensure that women have a fair and safe competition environment,' it stated. Trump's 'Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports' executive order was published in February. Since then, the president has continued to slam numerous transgender athletes competing in the U.S. At the time of signing the order, he defended the order as a means to ending 'the dangerous and unfair participation of men in women's sports' and pledged to take 'immediate action' against schools and associations that 'denied women single-sex sports and single-sex locker rooms,' according to a White House document shared with The Independent. Moreover, a letter from CEO Sarah Hirshland and President Gene Sykes, requested by CNN, revealed that the USOPC had 'engaged in a series of respectful and constructive conversations with federal officials' since Trump issued the order. Adding, 'As a federally chartered organization, we have an obligation to comply with federal expectations.' The committee said that the changes align with the Ted Stevens Act, which 'reinforces [their] mandated responsibility to promote athlete safety and competitive fairness.' Ted Stevens, a U.S Senator for over 40 years, signed the Amateur Sports Act in 1978 to establish the U.S. Olympic Committee and National Governing Bodies for each Olympic sport. Twenty years later, it was revised to reflect that amateurism was no longer a requirement of the Olympics and to include the Paralympics. All governing bodies must now obey the USOPC's new guidance, which is now highlighted at the top of the USOPC webpage on 'Transgender Athlete Participation in Sport.' Previously, the organization had sought 'to rely on real data and science-based evidence rather than ideology' in determining the eligibility of transgender athletes. It stressed that they made 'science‑based decisions, sport by sport and discipline by discipline.' The stance of not recognising transgender athletes in women's sports has long been peddled by Trump and MAGA during his time in office and before, during his presidential race. In June, he made a remark on the matter while male players from Italian soccer giants Juventus stood behind him, posing for photos as part of their Club World Cup tour. He has also honed in on several specific cases across the U.S., including launching an investigation into a Connecticut school system over its transgender athletic policy. In March, the president launched a broadside against Maine's Governor Janet Mills for refusing to ban transgender athletes from participating in women's sports, threatening, 'You better do it because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't.'

Lions lock Joe McCarthy in race to be fit for second Test
Joe McCarthy is the chief injury concern as the British and Irish Lions finalise plans for their shot at completing a series victory over Australia on Saturday. McCarthy limped off in the 27-19 triumph over the Wallabies in the first Test with the foot condition plantar fasciitis and has been unable to train since, making him a major doubt to be involved in the rematch at Melbourne Cricket Ground. Advertisement With Thursday's training session before Andy Farrell names his team being the final opportunity to prove his fitness, the Ireland enforcer looks likely to miss out. McCarthy came off during the first Test with a foot injury (David Davies/PA) Potentially signposting an adjustment to the pack to face Australia in the second Test, James Ryan and Jac Morgan were replaced early in the second half of Tuesday's 24-19 victory over the First Nations and Pasifika XV. If McCarthy is ruled out, Ollie Chessum could be drafted into the second row alongside captain Maro Itoje, creating a vacancy on the bench, while another option is to move Tadhg Beirne from flanker to lock. Should repositioning Beirne be Farrell's preferred choice, Morgan becomes a contender to make the matchday 23. Advertisement Given the Lions bullied the Wallabies at Suncorp Stadium, unenforced changes to the pack are unlikely. First Test: Brisbane, July 19 - Australia 19-27 British and Irish Lions Second Test: Melbourne, July 26 - Australia v British and Irish Lions Third Test: Sydney, August 2 - Australia v British and Irish Lions Farrell could shake up his back-three, however, after wings James Lowe and Tommy Freeman struggled to make an impact in the series opener. Lowe in particular struggled with the poor finishing which has been a feature of his tour apparent again. Of the four possible options to step in, two are injured and one has been repeatedly exposed in defence, with only the fourth offering Farrell room for manoeuvre. Mack Hansen missed the first Test because of a foot problem and has yet to train this week, placing his involvement on Saturday in grave doubt, while Darcy Graham is waiting for scan results after sustaining ankle ligament damage early in his Lions debut against FNP. Advertisement Duhan van der Merwe, who was fortunate to be selected ahead of Graham in the original touring party, has been targeted by kickers all tour and his defensively frailties would be exploited by the Wallabies. Blair Kinghorn, centre, could have played his way into contention (David Davies/PA) The ace up Farrell's sleeve is Scotland's Blair Kinghorn, who made his comeback from a knee injury at Marvel Stadium on Tuesday and apart from throwing two intercept passes, proved himself ready for Test duty. Nominally a full-back, he is also a high quality option on the wing, the position he has filled most recently for his club Toulouse this season. Owen Farrell showed he is ready for a call-up to the bench in Melbourne if needed with a solid 80 minutes against FNP, Marcus Smith passed a head injury assessment and Garry Ringrose made a successful first appearance since being concussed against ACT Brumbies. Advertisement In the midst of a schedule of three games in eight days, players have been given Wednesday off, but Farrell and his coaching assistants are to meet to finalise selection. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The British & Irish Lions (@britishandirishlions) 'I let everyone have their say, I play devil's advocate, we thrash it out and then we all agree,' Farrell said. 'There is all sorts that goes into it – performances, there's no doubt about that – but there is also what's right for this second game? Are a few changes going to freshen it up or do we go with the same guys? 'All that comes into the pot. It's whatever is best for the team and what do we need for a game at the MCG with over 90,000 people. It should be challenging.' Advertisement Graham, a late call up from Scotland's tour of New Zealand, indicated on Instagram that his tour is over. He said: '16 minutes I'll never forget. It's been a rollercoaster of a journey but it was a dream come true to pull on the famous red jersey and make my Lions debut.'

Ben Askren shares tearful update as former UFC star is finally released from hospital
Ben Askren shared a tearful thank-you message on Tuesday, as the former UFC star was finally released from hospital after undergoing a successful double lung transplant. Askren, a former Olympic wrestler and MMA champion, retired from combat sports in 2021 at the age of 36. But this spring, at just 40, the American suddenly faced a complicated health issue. His wife, Amy, revealed that Askren was battling 'severe pneumonia', and a concerning episode eventually led to the ex-fighter having a double lung transplant. In early July, Askren addressed fans for the first time since his health scare began, appearing emotional in a video that showed how much weight and energy he had lost. ' I only died four times, where the ticker stopped for about 20 seconds,' he said at the time. Now, Askren has shared another tearful update, yet a more celebratory one. Having finally been released from hospital, Askren said in a social-media video on Tuesday: 'Day 59, I'm out! With my beautiful wife supportive. 'That was a long journey, and it's not over because I still can't really walk. I have to re-teach myself to do that among many other things. I guess I can make light of it because it was me and I don't really remember it. But Amy how close was I to dying?' Askren turned to his wife, who replied, 'Too close, a few times,' before Askren continued: 'I remember [that] I don't remember 35 days of this journey, but I think surgery was 24, 25 days ago. It was hard. It was hard.' Becoming tearful, Askren said: 'I've said this already in one of the videos, but the support you guys gave me – whether it was setting up a GoFundMe, whether it was helping my kids and wife get through it, I had friends come from all over the country just to hang out for a couple of days – it meant so much. It was so great to have all the support and all the love. 'Hopefully I'm not in this situation again for a really, really, really long time; I plan on living a while. So, thank you guys again for all of the positive support, all of the comments online, everything. It means so much, love you guys.' Askren went to the 2008 Olympics as a Team USA wrestler, before beginning an MMA career in which he won the Bellator and ONE welterweight titles and stayed unbeaten until his final two fights. His last three fights all took place in the UFC in 2019, as he submitted Robbie Lawler before suffering a record-setting five-second knockout by Jorge Masvidal and a submission by Demian Maia. Askren then boxed once, facing YouTuber Jake Paul in 2021 and falling to a first-round knockout. He has not competed in any combat sport since.
