Slugger Bryce Harper out of lineup with back spasms; day to day for NL wild card-leading Phillies

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:58:35 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bryce Harper flexed his legs, his shoulders, doing all he could to stay in the game for the Philadelphia Phillies. But back spasms forced the slugger out of one game, and he will have to sit out for at least one more.Harper was not in the lineup for Friday night’s game against Minnesota, a day after the two-time NL MVP was sidelined by mid-back spasms. There was some good news for the NL champion Phillies as they try to keep the top spot in the NL wild-card race: Harper is day to day and shouldn’t miss much time.“I felt better today. We’ll see how I feel tomorrow,” Harper said.With Harper out of the lineup, the Phillies started Alec Bohm at first base and moved suddenly streaking shortstop Trea Turner to third in the batting order.Harper said the spasms were unrelated to back pain that kept him out of games in 2021. He said his issues started in the first inning in Thursday’s win over Washington but he wanted to continue to play.“I just didn’t feel like it was fa...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:58:35 GMT

FRYEBURG, Maine (AP) — Maine is converting an inactive set of rail tracks into a new recreational trail that will run from the southern part of the state to close to the New Hampshire border.Democratic Gov. Janet Mills has signed a bill to create the new walking and biking trail, which will stretch 40 miles (64 kilometers) from Standish to Fryeburg along the Mountain Division Rail Line. The new trail is designed to eventually connect with Portland at its eastern edge and New Hampshire in the west.The cost to perform the work of removing the existing track and replacing it with an interim trail is estimated to be about $20.1 million, state records show. The bill directs the Maine Department of Transportation to do the work “subject to available funding resources, permitting and municipal agreements.”Members of an advisory council that recommended the conversion believe the trail “is the best use of the corridor and the benefits of public access to the trail will be a major economic d...

Red Sox notebook: Alex Cora proud of Eduardo Rodriguez for declining trade

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:58:35 GMT

Eduardo Rodriguez hasn’t been a member of the Red Sox since 2021, but his longtime manager still has his back.The 30-year-old left-hander is currently having a career year, posting a 2.75 ERA and 1.046 WHIP across 17 starts for the Detroit Tigers. Opposing batters are hitting just .218 with a .594 OPS against him, and his home run and walk percentages are the best he’s put together in his eight seasons in the Majors.In the midst of this impressive campaign, Rodriguez made headlines at the beginning of the month when he vetoed a trade to the Los Angeles Dodgers, invoking the no-trade clause in his 5-year, $77 million contract.Going to Los Angeles would’ve reunited Rodriguez with several of his Red Sox teammates and put him on a guaranteed, almost-perennial contender. Entering the August 1 trade deadline, the Tigers were 47-59, third in the American League Central, with the fourth-worst record in the AL. The first-place Dodgers were 59-45, the second-best record in t...

Reaggravated rotator cuff strain could end Nestor Cortes’ season

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:58:35 GMT

MIAMI — Saturday was supposed to serve as a homecoming for Nestor Cortes. Instead, he will watch his Yankees play the Marlins from the injured list.The Yankees shelved the Cuban native and Hialeah resident on Friday, a day before he was slated to make his first start in Miami as a big leaguer. Cortes is once again dealing with a left rotator cuff strain, which sidelined him from May 30 until Aug. 5.“I was really looking forward to pitching here for the first time,” Cortes said Friday. “It’s tough to swallow this right now.”Cortes returned last Saturday and pitched well against the Astros, allowing just one run over four innings while striking out eight. But he experienced irregular soreness during the days that followed, and he was unable to throw a bullpen on Thursday.“Definitely disappointing. Feeling for Nestor,” Aaron Boone said before the Yankees’ series-opener against the Marlins. “He put himself in a really good spot...

By REBECCA BOONE (Associated Press)Follow live updates about wildfires that have devastated parts of Maui in Hawaii this week, destroying a historic town and forcing evacuations.
