Published Tue, 11 Feb 2025 14:33:28 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Texas Rangers ace Jacob deGrom left Monday night’s start against the Kansas City Royals after four hitless innings because of a sore right wrist.The team said deGrom was removed as a precaution. He struck out five and walked one, throwing 39 of his 58 pitches for strikes. Two relievers finished a one-hitter for the Rangers in a 4-0 victory.“I felt it a little bit warming up,” deGrom said. “I thought it was going to loosen up and it actually tightened up a little bit as the game went on.“We’re playing it smart. Could I have kept going? Probably. But it was lingering and it got a little bit worse as the game went on. I just want to play it safe. We’ve got a long season ahead of us.”Beset by injuries the past two seasons with the New York Mets, the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner signed a $185 million, five-year contract with Texas as a free agent in December.The right-hander is 1-0 with a 3.48 ERA in four starts for the Rangers.“I’m honestly not too con...

MIAMI (AP) — Jorge Soler hit a pinch-hit two-run home run in the seventh inning and the Miami Marlins rallied to beat the San Francisco Giants 4-3 Monday night.Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jesus Sánchez had two hits each for the Marlins, who have won five of six.During Soler’s at-bat, first base umpire Lance Barrett signaled Giants starter Logan Webb had balked, allowing Jean Segura to score from third. But the umpiring crew met and ruled no balk occurred.Segura returned to third and Soler sent Webb’s next pitch over the wall in center for his second career pinch-hit homer and fifth of the season. The shot also snapped Soler’s career 0-for-10 slide against Webb.“The exciting part of it was that it put our team ahead,” Soler said. “The hitting coach told me today to move up and closer to the plate if I had an opportunity to face him. Perhaps that’s the reason for the result.”Webb’s outing ended after Soler’s blast. In his first start since signing a five-year $90 million contract extension ...

(CNN) — Un juez federal rechazó por segunda vez este lunes la solicitud del expresidente Donald Trump para retrasar el juicio que enfrenta por agresión y difamación en Nueva York, el cual se prevé que comience la próxima semana.Los abogados de Trump solicitaron aplazarlo bajo el argumento de que se necesita un período de “calma” que permita conseguir un jurado justo e imparcial, luego de la atención de los medios de comunicación sobre la histórica acusación contra el exmandatario por cargos de falsificación de registros empresariales para encubrir un pago de dinero para silenciar una relación extramatrimonial anterior, algo que él niega.La selección del jurado comenzará el próximo martes en la demanda en la que E. Jean Carroll afirma que Trump la violó en un vestidor de Nueva York a mediados de la década de 1990 y luego la difamó años después cuando él negó los hechos y dijo que ella no era su “tipo”, sugiriendo que había inventado la historia para prom...
