Guardians outfield prospect Chase DeLauter has surgery on his right wrist
DeLauter is expected to miss 6-8 weeks, which means he could be back for the last week or two of the season. He was examined on Tuesday by wrist/hand specialist Dr. Thomas Graham at Jefferson Orthopedics in Philadelphia. An MRI and clinical exam confirmed a hook of the hamate fracture and surgery was recommended.
DeLauter has not played since July 12. He was batting .278 with eight doubles, five homers and 21 RBIs in 34 games at Triple-A Columbus.
The 2022 first-round draft pick reached base in all 34 games he played for the Clippers, which led to some wondering when he might be called up. But DeLauter has struggled to stay on the field. He had three stints on the injured list last year and missed the first couple months of this season because of a sports hernia injury he suffered in spring training.

Luis Gil's 2025 Yankees debut is finally here: ‘a long, long time'
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free MIAMI — The Yankees finally will get a chance to see what Luis Gil can do for an encore. The reigning American League Rookie of the Year had his 2025 season delayed by a lat injury he suffered in spring training, but he'll be back on the mound on Sunday against the Marlins. Advertisement 'I've been waiting for this time for a long, long time,' Gil said through an interpreter before the Yankees' 2-0 loss to the Marlins on Saturday. 'From the moment I got hurt, immediately I just wanted to be out there. It's been a long process, but I've done a good job of following the plan in place to get healthy again [and] allow me to get back on the field.' Gil compiled a 15-7 record with a 3.50 ERA and 171 strikeouts in 2024. He returns to the Yankees just after a trade deadline that saw them load up on relievers but fail to make a deal for a starting pitcher. Advertisement They also shed one, releasing Marcus Stroman on Friday to make room for Gil. 'It's huge for us,' pitching coach Matt Blake told The Post. 'Obviously, he had a strong year last year. He's one of the best right-handed pitchers in the league when he's healthy, so to get him back and hopefully stabilize the rotation a little bit could go a long way.' On Feb. 28, Gil had a spring bullpen session cut with tightness in his right side. He had an MRI exam the next day that revealed a high-grade lat strain. Luis Gil, pitching during a rehab session on June 21, 2025, will be making his Yankees debut on Aug. 3, 2025 against the Marlins. Robert Sabo / New York Post Advertisement Gil pitched in four rehab outings, two for Double-A Somerset and the others for Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre. The collective numbers — 14 ¹/₃ innings, nine earned runs, 11 hits, 24 strikeouts and seven walks — don't matter nearly as much as the forward progress he was making. 'Having the disappointment of getting hurt in the middle of spring training and having to get shut down, I will say it feels like the rehab process for him has been smooth,' manager Aaron Boone said. 'There [haven't] been any setbacks or hiccups. I feel like every step of the way he felt really good about it. We've had a good, solid buildup to where he's almost to a full clip going into [Sunday].' Luis Gil Robert Sabo for New York Post Advertisement Gil threw 75 pitches in his final ramp-up, and Blake estimates the 27-year-old righty will get into the low 80s on Sunday. But that count starts with Pitch 1. It's been a long time coming. It would only be natural for Gil to be a little amped up. 'I'd just tell him to be himself,' Blake said. 'He's put in some good work through the rehab process. He doesn't have to do any more than that. Obviously he knows his talent plays here so just go out and stay in his delivery and attack the zone and go from there.' Gil figures the antidote for any jitters that might arise lies in the experience he already has. 'Putting yourself in situations like that — big games — helps you calm yourself down and find a way to focus and do your job,' he said.

Leclerc targets Ferrari's first F1 win of the year from pole at Hungarian Grand Prix
Associated Press BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Charles Leclerc will be chasing Ferrari's first win in Formula 1 this year after taking a surprise pole position for the Hungarian Grand Prix ahead of title contenders Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. Pole position is usually a big advantage in Hungary, where it's tough to overtake, but the chance of rain gives the drivers and teams an extra factor to consider. Leclerc surprised the two McLaren drivers — and himself, too — when he took the first pole position for Ferrari since October in qualifying on Saturday. Standings leader Piastri starts second and his teammate Norris is third after both were within a tenth of a second of Leclerc's time. Defending champion Max Verstappen said 'nothing has really worked' for him and Red Bull in Hungary after he qualified eighth following complaints his car felt unbalanced. Lewis Hamilton said he felt 'absolutely useless' after he placed 12th in qualifying for Ferrari, a stark contrast to his teammate on pole. Hamilton even suggested the team might 'need to change driver' after his performance. ___ AP auto racing: recommended Item 1 of 3

Léon Marchand, Summer McIntosh and 12-year-old Yu Zidi hope to shine on the final day of the worlds
SINGAPORE (AP) — French star Léon Marchand has broken one world record already in the 200-meter individual medley. He'll try for a second on Sunday in the 400 IM on the closing day of the swimming world championships in Singapore, a record he set two years ago in the worlds in Fukuoka, Japan. That mark is 4 minutes, 02.50 seconds. It would be Marchand's second gold in Singapore, where he's swimming a reduced schedule after winning four individual golds a year ago at the Paris Olympics. He will swim from Lane 1, entering with a relatively slow qualifying time. Summer McIntosh of Canada will be in the women's 400 IM, trying for her fourth gold. Her hope of winning five individual golds in the worlds — only Michael Phelps has done that — was crushed Saturday night when she was beaten by American Katie Ledecky in the 800 free. McIntosh finished third. Chinese 12-year-old Yu Zidi has the No. 3 qualifying time as she shoots for a medal. She picked up a bronze medal in a relay — she swam in a prelim but not the final — but an individual medal would be astounding. As a reminder, she is the same age as most sixth- or seventh-grade students, depending on the school system. The Americans, frustrated throughout the meet with a case of 'acute gastroenteritis' picked up in a training camp in Thailand, surged on Saturday with three golds to bring their gold-medal leading total to eight. Australia has seven. The Americans have several gold-medal chances in Sunday's eight finals. Among them: world-record holder Bobby Finke in the 1,500 free, and the men's and women's 4x100 medley relays. The Americans have the fastest qualifying times in both relays. China, the Paris Olympic champions a year ago in the men's 4x100 medley, failed to qualify. China finished ninth, out of the top eight in a time of 3:32.69 seconds. They swam 3:27.46 to win in Paris. Qin Haiyang and Pan Zhanle — two world-record holders — were on the team that missed out. They were both on the Paris team. __
