Phillies slugger Bryce Harper faces live pitching as he nears return from wrist injury
Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper faced live pitching at Truist Park as he continues to work his way back after an injury to his right wrist.
Harper went on the 10-day injured list on June 6. He traveled with the team to Atlanta and went through a workout in the morning ahead of the Phillies' game against the Braves later Saturday night. 'He was great,' Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson said. 'Looked like he got his bat speed and his timing looked fine.' Thomson said Harper would not work out on the field Sunday. 'We'll see how he is tomorrow and figure out where we go next.'
Saturday's game was the 21st straight that Harper has missed since the injury. The Phillies began the day 11–9 during this stretch without Harper, who is hitting .258 with nine home runs in 57 games this season.
Harper could rejoin the lineup next week when the Phillies host the Padres and Reds for three games each.

A'ja Wilson Puts Aces Ahead Late and Has 26 Points, 18 Rebounds in 84-81 Win Over Mercury
Aja Wilson made the go-ahead basket with 22 seconds left and finished with 26 points, 18 rebounds, and seven assists as the Las Vegas Aces beat Phoenix 84–81 on Sunday, ending the Mercury's six-game winning streak. Wilson made a difficult layup on a feed from Chelsea Gray to make it 83–81 after Jackie Young snared an offensive rebound for the Aces. Aaliyah Nye made a free throw with 7.1 seconds left before the Mercury failed to get a good look on a third straight possession in the final minute. Nye, a rookie, had career bests of five 3-pointers and 16 points for the Aces (8–8). Young added 15 points and Jewell Loyd had 10. Wilson tied Lisa Leslie for the most 25-point, 15-rebound games in WNBA history at 13. Alyssa Thomas led Phoenix (12–5) with 16 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists. Kahleah Copper added 15 points, Sami Whitcomb had 14, and Satou Sabally 10. Whitcomb had four 3-pointers, giving her at least four in five straight games, tying a WNBA record. There were 10 ties and 17 lead changes in the game, which was tied at 40 at halftime. Wilson had 10 points in the third quarter, which concluded with the Aces leading 59–50. Phoenix scored the first nine points of the fourth quarter and surged to a 67–62 lead. Vegas went back ahead on Loyd's 3-pointer with 3:14 to play, and the lead changed hands five times after that.

New faces lead US women to familiar result: 4-0 win over Ireland
CINCINNATI: The US women's national team's depth was on display Sunday in Cincinnati when the squad's backups dominated Ireland for a 4-0 victory in a friendly. US coach Emma Hayes made 11 changes from the lineup that defeated Ireland 4-0 on Thursday and didn't miss a beat as the Americans won their fourth straight match without allowing a goal. In fact, Ireland did not put a shot on frame. Izzy Rodriguez, who made her USWNT debut along with Sam Meza, scored in the 42nd minute for a 2-0 lead while Emma Sears played a part in the first three goals. Sears and Rodriguez played together at Ohio State, less than two hours away. Sandwiching the Rodriguez goal, Lynn Biyendolo opened the scoring in the 11th minute and Yazmeen Ryan extended the lead to 3-0 in the 66th with her first goal. Alyssa Thompson made it 4-0 in the 86th on an assist by Claire Hutton. The win was the 600th in USWNT history in just 765 matches. It was such a young lineup that Biyendolo had almost twice as many appearances (81) as the rest of the starting lineup (41), which represented the fewest combined matches of any USWNT lineup in the past 24 years. It didn't matter. Sears made a cross to Biyendolo in the middle of the box and she ripped a shot for her 25th goal. Rodriguez got on the board when Sears took an entry pass from Olivia Moultrie and forced a save by Courtney Brosnan (six saves). The ball came to Rodriguez and she did not hesitate on the rebound. The role was reversed on the third goal. Sears fed Moultrie and she found an unmarked Ryan. A minute after Thompson's goal, hometown favorite Rose Lavelle entered the match to a standing ovation and nearly scored in the ensuing minute. The US will get a much sterner test on Wednesday when they play Canada in Washington, D.C., to complete the three-match window.
