DODGERS PLACE ALL-STAR PITCHER TYLER GLASNOW ON INJURED LIST WITH BACK TIGHTNESS

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers placed All-Star right-hander Tyler Glasnow on the 15-day injured list with back tightness, retroactive to July 6.

The 30-year-old Glasnow is 8-5 with a 3.47 ERA in his first season with the Dodgers. He was acquired in a December trade with Tampa Bay and received a $136.5 million, five-year contract as part of the trade that brought him back to Southern California.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said ahead of Tuesday’s game in Philadelphia that Glasnow’s back flared up while he played catch over the weekend. Roberts said Glasnow should return at some point after the All-Star break.

Glasnow leads the major leagues with 143 strikeouts, and that total is the most before to the All-Star Game in Dodgers history since Clayton Kershaw fanned 159 batters in 2017. Glasnow’s 11.81 strikeout per nine innings is second-best in baseball.

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Greene was named as an injury replacement to the NL All-Star team. Greene is 5-4 with a 3.45 ERA.

With a fastball that gets into the upper 90s, along with a nasty curveball and slider, Glasnow has one of baseball’s best pitching repertoires. But he has been hampered by injuries.

He had Tommy John surgery on Aug. 4, 2021. He missed the beginning of last season with a strained left oblique, and then set career highs with 162 strikeouts, 120 innings and 21 starts.

The Dodgers had six All-Stars after Glasnow, catcher Will Smith, first baseman Freddie Freeman, outfielder Teoscar Hernández and injured shortstop Mookie Betts joined starting DH Shohei Ohtani on the NL roster.

The Dodgers recalled right-handed pitcher Michael Petersen from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

GREENE AND WESTBURG REPLACE GLASNOW AND DEVERS ON ALL-STAR GAME ROSTERS

NEW YORK (AP) — Cincinnati right-hander Hunter Greene and Baltimore infielder Jordan Westburg became first-time All-Stars on Tuesday when they were picked as injury replacements.

Greene was selected by Major League Baseball to fill the spot of Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow, placed on the 15-day injured list because of back tightness in a move retroactive to Saturday.

Westburg took the spot of Boston third baseman Rafael Devers because he finished second in player, manager and coach voting behind Cleveland’s José Ramírez, the AL starter. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Boston decided Devers should not go to the All-Star Game because of left shoulder soreness.

MLB said Glasnow still plans to attend the All-Star Game on July 16 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

Greene and Westburg are first-time All-Stars, raising the total to 34. Five players have been replaced on the roster, raising the total of All-Stars to 69.

San Diego outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr., elected by fans to start, will miss the game because of a stress reaction in his right thigh bone. Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts, voted in by players for his eighth straight All-Star appearance, has been out since breaking his left hand on June 16. Philadelphia pitcher Zack Wheeler is lined up to start for the Phillies this weekend and won’t be available for the National League staff.

Cincinnati’s 22-year-old speedster, Elly De La Cruz, got Betts’ spot after finishing second to him on the player ballot. Pittsburgh pitcher Paul Skenes and San Francisco outfielder Heliot Ramos were picked by MLB to replace Wheeler and Tatis.

RED SOX 3B RAFAEL DEVERS (SHOULDER) OUT FOR AL ALL-STARS

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers will sit out the All-Star Game to rest a sore left shoulder.

Devers, 27, has been playing through an injury in the AC joint, Boston manager Alex Cora said Tuesday. The eight-year veteran was set to play in his third Midsummer Classic.

“He’s been grinding through a few things, especially his left shoulder,” Cora said. “As a group, we believe this is a good time for him to get some rest and take care of it.”

Devers was in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Oakland Athletics.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg, 25, will replace Devers on the American League roster for the July 16 game in Arlington, Texas, it was announced Tuesday. Westburg, a first-time All-Star, is batting .281 with 14 homers and 49 RBIs in 83 games in his second major league season.

Devers is coming off of a stellar outing against the host New York Yankees, as he went 3-for-4 with two home runs and two RBIs in a 3-0 victory on Sunday night. He is batting .293 with 21 homers, 55 RBIs, a .378 on-base percentage and .593 slugging percentage. He has played in 77 of Boston’s 89 games entering Tuesday.

“They do an amazing job with him during the week,” Cora said of the team’s medical staff. “I think Raffy has learned to be efficient with his work and staying healthy.

“He’s not going to be able to do certain things, but at the end of the day, he’s Raffy Devers, so he finds a way.”

The Red Sox entered Tuesday nine games over .500 to match a season best. They were 7 1/2 games behind the Orioles in the AL East and owners of the third AL wild-card spot.

“We all believe there’s more here; we’re shooting for something bigger than the All-Star Game,” Cora said. “For him to be healthy, that’s the most important thing.”

METS GET HELP FOR BELEAGUERED BULLPEN, ACQUIRE MATON FROM RAYS IN TRADE

NEW YORK (AP) — Seeking help for a struggling and depleted bullpen, the New York Mets acquired reliever Phil Maton from the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday for a player to be named or cash.

Maton was 1-2 with a 4.58 ERA and two saves in 40 appearances for the Rays this season. He struck out 30 and walked 18 in 35 1/3 innings.

The 31-year-old right-hander has spent eight seasons in the majors, going 17-14 with a 4.28 ERA and four saves in 384 games for San Diego, Cleveland, Houston and Tampa Bay.

He gives the Mets an experienced arm to replenish a taxed and tattered bullpen that has lost veteran left-hander Brooks Raley and right-hander Drew Smith to season-ending elbow injuries. Right-handers Sean Reid-Foley and Shintaro Fujinami are also on the injured list, but are expected back from shoulder issues.

The team obtained lefty reliever Matt Gage from the Los Angeles Dodgers for cash on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse.

New York has blown 16 of 37 save opportunities this season, and the relief group has an 8.16 ERA over the past 14 games. Because of injuries and roster decisions, only three of the eight relievers who opened the season with the Mets remain in their bullpen.

Star closer Edwin Díaz was on the IL from May 29 to June 11 with a right shoulder impingement and then returned Saturday from a 10-game suspension for violating baseball’s prohibitions on sticky foreign substances.

To make room for Maton on the roster, left-hander Joey Lucchesi was designated for assignment. Lucchesi made one big league start this year and was pitching at Triple-A.

WANDER FRANCO FORMALLY CHARGED WITH SEXUALLY ABUSING 14-YEAR-OLD GIRL

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) — Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco was formally charged on Tuesday by prosecutors in the Dominican Republic with sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl.

The prosecutors decided to press charges four days after the initial deadline expired on July 5, six months after a judge ordered that Franco be investigated in connection with sexual and psychological abuse of the minor.

Nairobi Viloria, the attorney general’s office spokesperson, confirmed to The Associated Press that prosecutors presented before a judge the final and formal accusation, but she declined to provide further details.

The indictment also includes the minor’s mother. According to prosecutors, Franco paid the girl’s mother thousands of dollars to consent to the relationship, which lasted four months. The girl’s mother remains under house arrest. The AP is not releasing the woman’s name to preserve her daughter’s privacy.

Franco, 23, is on administrative leave by Major League Baseball and the player’s association through July 14.

Jay Reisinger, Franco’s U.S.-based lawyer, said he could not comment because Franco had not received formal notification of any charges.

Tampa Bay’s All-Star shortstop has not played since Aug. 12 while MLB continues its investigation into an alleged relationship with a minor.

Administrative leave is not disciplinary under the sport’s joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy, and a player continues to be paid. Franco, who has a $2 million salary this year, has remained in his native Dominican Republic while authorities there investigate.

Franco agreed to a $182-million, 11-year contract in November 2021.
