A's DH Brent Rooker undergoes season-ending knee surgery

Athletics designated hitter and outfielder Brent Rooker had season-ending left knee surgery Friday, a tough loss of a leader both on and off the field for the club.

Ohtani had lubricant injected into knee, likely to pitch Wed.

Shohei Ohtani had a lubricant injected into his left knee, but the Dodgers two-way star did not have fluid drained, according to manager Dave Roberts. Ohtani was in the lineup Friday and will likely will make his next start Wednesday at Philadelphia.

Pirates-Guardians game postponed due to poor air quality

Friday's scheduled game between the Pirates and Guardians in Cleveland has been postponed due to air quality concerns because of wildfire smoke from Canada and northern Minnesota.
