Dodgers' reliever Tanner Scott exits game with arm pain, MRI scheduled
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Tanner Scott left the game in the ninth inning Monday night after feeling pain in his left pitching arm.
It occurred when Scott was pitching to Minnesota's Ryan Jeffers with one out.
'He said it felt like a sting,' manager Dave Roberts said, adding that an X-ray and manual testing didn't reveal any issues. Scott will have an MRI on Tuesday.
However, Roberts said it's likely Scott will need to go on the injured list.
'Hopefully it's something that's more of a scare and then we can kind of put him on ice for a little bit and get him back,' he said.
Scott is 1-2 with a 4.14 ERA and a team-leading 19 saves this season. He gave up a run and walked two on 22 pitches in two-thirds of an inning before leaving the game.

NASCAR will hold first street race on active military base at Naval Base Coronado in 2026
Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR will hold a street race on Naval Base Coronado in Southern California next June as a replacement for its downtown Chicago event that ran the last three years. The move to the San Diego area does not eliminate a return to Chicago, where NASCAR will still maintain an office and effort an eventual return, perhaps as early as 2027. But the shift next year will allow NASCAR to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy by hosting all three of its national series over a three-day weekend on June 19-21. 'As part of our nation's 250th anniversary, we are honored for NASCAR to join the celebration as we host our first street race at a military base, Naval Base Coronado,' Ben Kennedy, executive vice president and chief venue and racing innovations officer, said Wednesday. 'NASCAR San Diego Weekend will honor the Navy's history and the men and women who serve as we take the best motorsports in the world to the streets of Naval Base Coronado.' It will be NASCAR's second street race in the sport's history, following the three-year run in Chicago, and first on an active military base. The course layout is not complete but is expected to be around 3 miles. NASCAR has seen Auto Club Speedway close after the 2023 race. It built a temporary short track inside Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum from 2002 through 2024 but moved that event to North Carolina. Kennedy, who has been bullish on new endeavors for his family business, was the brains of the races at the Coliseum, Chicago, this year's visit to Mexico City and now next year in San Diego, a venture the Navy is excited about. 'NASCAR embodies the very best of the American spirit through speed, precision and an unyielding pursuit of excellence," Navy Secretary John C. Phelan said. "Hosting a race aboard Naval Air Station North Island, the birthplace of naval aviation, it's not just a historic first, it's a powerful tribute to the values we share: grit, teamwork and love of country. 'From the flight deck to the finish line, this collaboration reflects the operational intensity and unity of purpose that define both the United States Navy and NASCAR." The base is known as the 'West Coast Quarterdeck' and is a consortium of nine Navy installations that stretch from San Clemente Island 50 miles off the coast of Long Beach to the Mountain Warfare Training Facility 50 miles east of San Diego. NASCAR named Amy Lupo, who has been with the series since 2021 and helped launch the Coliseum, as president of the race. She spent more than 20 years at ESPN expanding the X Games when she lived in San Diego early in her career. She still lives in Southern California. ___ AP auto racing: recommended Item 1 of 2 in this topic

PWHL's Boston Fleet sign Kris Sparre as second head coach in franchise history
Associated Press WELLESLEY, Mass. (AP) — The Boston Fleet have hired Kris Sparre as the second head coach in the PWHL franchise's history. Sparre, a 38-year-old veteran assistant with no experience in the women's game, replaces Courtney Kessel, who had a 27-19-8 record and a Walter Cup Finals appearance before leaving to take over at Princeton. Her departure leaves only two female head coaches among the PWHL's eight teams. 'This is an incredible opportunity to be part of a league that has experienced remarkable growth and momentum in recent seasons,' said Sparre, who played junior hockey and in Germany and coached in the OHL, AHL and Austria's top league. 'Boston stands as one of the premier sports cities in the world, and I look forward to building a program that is capable of contending for a championship every season.' A Toronto-area native, Sparre played nine seasons as a forward in the minor leagues and in Germany. He was an assistant coach for Red Bull Salzburg from 2019-21 before spending three seasons with the San Diego Gulls, the AHL affiliate of the Anaheim Ducks. Fleet general manager Danielle Marmer said Sparre's experience in the AHL, where coaches need to balance winning with player development, will make him a good fit. 'Our players need to grow and perform in real time, and Kris understands how to create that environment,' she said. 'He's known as a relationship-driven coach and an elite communicator — someone who builds trust, connects with players, and brings energy and purpose to the rink every day.' The Fleet have eight players remaining from the roster that reached finals in the PWHL's inaugural season. But they are looking to replace 36-year-old captain and league MVP finalist Hilary Knight, who was left unprotected in the expansion draft and is moving to Seattle after a season in which she tied for the league lead with 29 points. ___ AP Hockey Writer John Wawrow contributed to this report. ___ AP women's hockey:

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani Sends Mookie Betts Message After Surprising Move
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Los Angeles Dodgers have been unable to right the ship coming out of the All-Star break, dropping four out of five games after a loss to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. And now the team will be without yet another high-leverage arm for a significant stretch, as reliever Tanner Scott was placed on the injured list. The growing list of pitcher injuries is reason for concern, but the Dodgers are also responding to some concerning offensive struggles for one of their best players. As shortstop Mookie Betts has posted a career low .238/.311/.373 slash line so far this season, manager Dave Roberts made the surprising move to slot him into the leadoff position. That decision might jumpstart Betts' offense, but it also moved the team's best player, Shohei Ohtani, out of the leadoff spot. In response to the move, Ohtani sent a clear message about his mindset and his hopes for how it might impact Betts.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JULY 15: Shohei Ohtani #17 of the Los Angeles Dodgers looks on prior to the MLB All-Star Game at Truist Park on July 15, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by) More Squire/Getty "I have absolutely no problem with it," Ohtani said of being moved out of the leadoff spot, according to Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times. "What's most important is that everyone can hit comfortably." In addition to working his way back to the mound this season, Ohtani has served as the team's most productive hitter from the top of the order. He leads the team in total runs, hits, homers and RBI. But a move down one spot to accommodate Betts hasn't seemed to disrupt that production, as he's on a four-game homer streak after Tuesday's loss. "He wants to win," Roberts said of Ohtani, per Hernandez. "I think that him playing every day, him pitching, him taking walks when needed and switching spots with Mookie in the order, whatever is in the best interest of the ballclub, that's what he's doing." Ohtani seems ready to take on whatever the team might ask of him. But if the Dodgers hope to regain their momentum in the wins column, they'll need to hope that Betts' move to leadoff can unlock something at the plate.
