Rockies recall their No. 5-ranked prospect, outfielder Yanquiel Fernández
Jul 02, 2025 09:16 AM IST DENVER — The Colorado Rockies recalled outfielder Yanquiel Fernández, the organization's No. 5-ranked prospect, from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday. Rockies recall their No. 5-ranked prospect, outfielder Yanquiel Fernández The 22-year-old Fernández is batting .284 with 13 homers and 39 RBIs in 64 games for Albuquerque this season. The Rockies signed him for $295,000 as an international free agent out of Cuba in 2019, when he was 16. His major league debut will have to wait until Wednesday at the earliest. The left-handed batter did not play in Tuesday night's 6-5 loss to the Houston Astros, who started lefty Colton Gordon. Fernández's promotion was one of several roster moves by the major league-worst Rockies. Colorado also selected the contract of catcher Austin Nola from Albuquerque; optioned catcher Braxton Fulford to the Triple-A club; reinstated right-hander Tanner Gordon from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Albuquerque; and designated outfielder Sam Hilliard for assignment. The 35-year-old Nola, the older brother of Philadelphia right-hander Aaron Nola, made his big league debut in 2019 for Seattle and last played in the majors in 2023 for San Diego. Starting catcher Hunter Goodman was back in the lineup Tuesday night against the Astros and homered twice. Goodman went deep on the first pitch he saw after missing four games with a hamstring issue, and he homered again in the ninth inning, giving him 16 this season. Fulford, who replaced Goodman in the lineup in each of the previous four games, is batting .250 this season in 14 games. Gordon is 1-2 with a 4.24 ERA in three major league starts this season. Hilliard batted .196 in 20 games for Colorado. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Guirassy scores twice and Dortmund advances at Club World Cup with 2-1 win over feisty Monterrey
ATLANTA — Serhou Guirassy scored a pair of first-half goals, both assisted by Karim Adeyemi, and Borussia Dortmund held off Monterrey 2-1 Tuesday night in the final round of 16 game at the Club World Cup. Guirassy scores twice and Dortmund advances at Club World Cup with 2-1 win over feisty Monterrey Guirassy drove a shot just inside the left post in the 14th minute, then sent another past keeper Esteban Andrada in the 24th when left unmarked from 15 yards at the top of the penalty area. Both times, it was Adeyemi delivering the pass that set up Guirassy, a native of France who plays for Guinea's national team. The 29-year-old striker has three goals in four tournament games and 37 across all competitions in his first season with Dortmund. Dortmund will face Real Madrid on Saturday at East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Spanish power advanced with a 1-0 victory over Italy's Juventus in an afternoon match. Jobe Bellingham received a yellow card in the 28th minute and will miss the match against Real – and his brother, former Dortmund star Jude Bellingham — because of yellow card accumulation. Rayados, cheered by a large contingent of flag-waving supporters in Atlanta, bounced back from the sluggish start to make a game of it. Less than three minutes into second half, a cross to the far post deflected off the head of a Dortmund defender before Érick Aguirre headed it back across the net to Germán Berterame, who headed it in to cut the deficit to a single goal. Using their speed to attack Dortmund vertically, Monterrey dominated the second half and had several chances to level the score. But the German team held on, despite the Mexican squad holding a 59% edge in possession and a 7-3 advantage in shots on goal. The late game drew a crowd of 31,442 at cavernous Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where the upper deck wasn't needed. But the sweltering U.S. heat wasn't an issue with the roof closed in Atlanta. American Gio Reyna did not play for the third time in four games at the Club World Cup, another sign that his tenure with Dortmund could be winding down. Dortmund started strongly, thanks to a nifty flick from Adeyemi at the top of the area that set up Guirassy's opening goal. Dortmund's victory means five of the eight clubs in the quarterfinals are from Europe. Monterrey was the last club left from North America. soccer: /hub/soccer This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
