Texas Rangers Bring Back Dane Dunning After Optioning Reliever Caleb Boushley
The Texas Rangers brought back right-hander Dane Dunning from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday after reliever Caleb Boushley was optioned to the minors. Texas made the move before the opener of a three-game series at Baltimore a day after Boushley threw 72 pitches.
Boushley faced 22 batters, allowing five runs and 10 hits while pitching the final four innings of an 8–3 loss Sunday at Pittsburgh. That was five days after the right-hander also finished a 6–1 home loss against Kansas City when he retired all 10 batters over the final 3 1/3 innings. He has a 5.04 percent ERA in 15 appearances over two stints with the Rangers this season.
Dunning started 95 games the past four seasons for the Rangers. He has pitched in relief in 16 of his 27 games for Texas since the start of last season, including his only game this season when on the roster for two days in April before being designated for assignment and then assigned outright to Round Rock. The 30-year-old right-hander is 26–32 with a 4.39 percent ERA in his 118 games with Texas.

Pegula eases past Swiatek to win Bad Homburg title
BAD HOMBURG: Top seed Jessica Pegula contained Iga Swiatek's heavy topspin game on grass to earn a 6-4 7-5 victory on Saturday and lift the Bad Homburg Open title. For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport The American held serve throughout and gave up just one breakpoint in the match, denying the Pole her first career title on grass, just two days before the start of Wimbledon. Swiatek has not won a singles title since her 2024 French Open victory. 'I know you say you can't play on grass but you are very, very good on grass,' Pegula said, addressing Swiatek after the match. 'It was a special week.' Pegula won a break at 3-3 in the first set to move 5-3 up. The 31-year-old world No. 3, chasing her third title of 2025 and her first since April, landed the first set soon afterwards when the Pole sent a forehand long. Swiatek put up a fight in the second set, edging close to a break but failing to carve out a break point. It was Pegula who earned a breakpoint at 5-5 and she converted it with a sizzling crosscourt forehand. Pegula held serve to seal her second career title on grass, following last year's win in Berlin. For Swiatek, who shed tears while waiting for the trophy ceremony, it was still a successful week after reaching her first career final on the surface. 'You have an amazing game and you showed it throughout the tournament,' Swiatek told Pegula. 'Hopefully we will have many more finals together.' 'I feel it is going a good way and thank you for the opportunity to play here. This tournament shows there is hope for me on grass,' Swiatek said. Separately, world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is hoping an outburst after her French Open final defeat to Coco Gauff will prove a turning point in maintaining her emotional control in the biggest matches. The three-time Grand Slam champion threw away a one-set lead to lose to the American in Paris earlier this month. Afterwards, Sabalenka described her performance as the 'the worst final I've ever played.' The Belarusian later apologized to Gauff for her comments and the pair put their differences aside by performing a dance together on the Wimbledon lawns for social media. 'I was just completely, like, upset with myself, and emotions got over me. I just completely lost it,' said Sabalenka at a pre-Wimbledon press conference on Saturday. 'I believe I get overemotional at the last stages of the tournaments because I have this desire of winning. 'Sometimes it (gets the better of) me and I can lose control over my emotions. So, I would love to improve that at the last stages of the tournament. 'But honestly I'm kind of glad what happened to me at Paris because I was able to learn a lot. I was able to sit back and being open to myself, not just to ignore some things. I think I realized a lot of things about myself in those last stages of the tournaments.' Sabalenka's comments after the French Open were fiercely criticized in the US for taking the shine off Gauff's second Grand Slam title. 'Of course, she got my respect. She knows it,' added Sabalenka. 'I'm happy that she was, like, 'yeah, it's all good, don't worry'. As you saw the (dancing) video, I was talking, we are good, we are friends. I hope the US media can be easy on me right now.' Sabalenka has never gone beyond the semifinals on the Wimbledon grass and begins her quest for glory against Canadian qualifier Carson Branstine, a player she admitted to having limited knowledge of.

Red Sox's Cora says Yoshida set to start rehab assignment at Triple-A
The struggling Boston Red Sox could be getting some offensive help soon. Manager Alex Cora said Masataka Yoshida would start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday. The 31-year-old DH/outfielder has been out the entire season following surgery on his right shoulder in October. 'He'll go on a rehab assignment. We'll see how many at-bats he needs,' Cora said Saturday before the Red Sox faced the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park. 'He's moving well, the swing feels great, the throwing has been a lot better. He's been able to bounce back, so we just have to map it out and see how we're going to do it.' Cora said he'd also play some games in the outfield. Last season he was primarily the DH, getting into left field only once in 108 games. In his first season in 2023 after signing a $90-million, five-year free agent deal with the team, he played 85 games in left. On Saturday, Yoshida was shagging fly balls during batting practice in right field, ran the bases while others were hitting, and took BP. Also, third baseman Alex Bregman, who has been sidelined since late May with a strained right quad, ran lightly in the infield and took grounders at third, throwing across the diamond before the Red Sox took BP. 'He's just finishing taking ground balls,' Cora said. 'It was a good day for him and Masa.' When he was injured, Bregman was one of the club's most productive hitters, batting .299 with 11 home runs and 35 RBIs in 51 games. Cora recently said the 31-year-old Bregman isn't expected to return until after the All-Star break. Boston entered Saturday on a season-high six-game losing streak, its longest since September 2022. The Red Sox dropped the opener of a three-game series against Toronto 9–0 on Friday night. The Red Sox signed Bregman as a free agent to a $120-million, three-year contract in mid-February.
