Guardians shortstop Gabriel Arias taken off the field on cart with left leg injury
CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Guardians shortstop Gabriel Arias was taken off the field on a cart after sustaining a left lower leg injury in the third inning against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
Arias went deep into the hole to field a grounder hit by Masyn Winn with one out, but caught his left spike on the grass and awkwardly rolled his ankle. The ball wound up in left field for a single.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder immediately grabbed his lower leg and remained prone on the field for several minutes. He was fitted with an immobilizer before being lifted onto the medical cart that drove him off the field.
The Guardians will provide details about his injury once Arias undergoes an examination.
Arias is batting .231 with six homers and 31 RBIs in 77 games. This is the 25-year-old Venezuelan's first full season as a starter.

Kraken Place Newly Acquired Center Joe Veleno on Waivers
The Seattle Kraken placed newly acquired center Joe Veleno on waivers on Sunday for the purposes of buying out his contract. The Kraken recently traded for Velano, sending winger André Burakovsky to the Chicago Blackhawks in a 1-for-1 trade. Veleno had just one year left on his contract with a cap hit of $2.275 million. The buyout penalty that Seattle will face is only a third his remaining salary, which will result in a $795,833 cap charge this season and a $295,833 charge in 2026-27. By eliminating Burakovsky's contract, which was worth $5.5 million over the next two season and buying out Velano's contract, the Kraken will have a net savings of around $4.7 million on their salary cap this season, leaving them with a little over $18 million in cap space for general manager Jason Botterill to work with.

US women beat Ireland 4-0 for the second straight match
CINCINNATI (AP) — Izzy Rodriguez scored in her first appearance for the national team and the United States shut out Ireland 4-0 on Sunday. Lynn Biyendolo, Yazmeen Ryan and Alyssa Thompson also scored for the United States, which beat Ireland by an identical score in Commerce City, Colorado, on Thursday. The United States went up early when Biyendolo took a cross from Emma Sears and calmly scored her 25th international goal in the 11th minute. Biyendolo was captain for the match. Left back Rodriguez started in her debut and scored on a rebound goal in the 42nd minute to make it 2-0. After halftime, Sears kept the ball in play and sent it to Olivia Moultrie, who crossed to Ryan for the goal in the 66th minute. It was Ryan's first international goal. Thompson came off the bench and scored in her second straight match in the 86th minute. Rose Lavelle, who is from Cincinnati, came in as a substitute in the 87th minute after the crowd at TQL Stadium started chanting her name. Lavelle scored in Thursday's match, making her first appearance of the year for the national team after having ankle surgery. In addition to Rodriguez, Seattle Reign midfielder Sam Meza also started in her debut for the team. Hayes made 11 changes to the starting lineup from Thursday's match. Twenty-four players have made their debut for the national team in 24 games under Hayes, who has been tasked with preparing the team for qualification for the Women's World Cup. The United States was without many of its Europe-based players, including Lindsay Heaps and Crystal Dunn, who Hayes was resting following the European season. Ireland was also missing a few stars, including Katie McCabe, who was given time off after the season with Arsenal, and Denise O'Sullivan, who plays for the North Carolina Courage and is injured. The United States next plays Canada on Wednesday at Audi Field In Washington. ___ AP soccer:
