DENVER (AP) — Josh Donaldson could be heading back to the New York Yankees’ injured list after injuring his right calf while running out a ground ball in the seventh inning of a 6-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night.Donaldson pulled up nearing first base on his grounder. The 37-year-old was sidelined between April 5 and June 2 by a strained right hamstring. “A different spot, but it’s been kind of off and on all year,” Yankees manager Boone said.New York could bring up Oswald Peraza from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to fill the roster spot.Donaldson, the 2015 AL MVP with Toronto, will have an MRI. The three-time All-Star is hitting .142 with 15 RBIs and 10 of his 15 hits have been home runs.New York acquired the third baseman from Minnesota in March 2022 along with shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa and backup catcher Ben Rortvedt for catcher Gary Sánchez and third baseman Gio Urshela, Donaldson hit .222 last year with 15 homers and 62 RBIs.He has a $21 mil...

Betts’ big night leads the Dodgers to a 5-1 victory over the sloppy Mets

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:26:43 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — A couple of costly mistakes were all it took for Mookie Betts and the Los Angeles Dodgers to put away the New York Mets.Betts went 4 for 4 with a home run and the Dodgers took advantage of a high throw by first baseman Pete Alonso to beat the sloppy Mets 5-1 on Saturday night for their sixth straight victory.“I think this lineup top to bottom, they all swing it really well. And I think it was just a matter of time before we started clicking and started rolling,” Los Angeles pitcher Tony Gonsolin said. Max Muncy scored the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning on David Peralta’s RBI grounder. Alonso, who moments earlier made his second diving play of the night, had a chance to start an inning-ending double play — but his throw to second base forced shortstop Francisco Lindor to make a leaping grab and then find the bag, giving Peralta enough time to beat the relay back to first.“Just wish I could have executed a little bit better,” Alonso said.Los Angeles added t...

Orioles beat Marlins, 6-5, for 7th straight win behind Gunnar Henderson’s solo homer, Anthony Santander’s go-ahead single

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:26:43 GMT

The Orioles had been riding high.They ended the first half on a five-game winning streak, were well-represented at the Home Run Derby and All-Star Game and opened the second half with another victory. However, the start of Saturday’s game popped that bubble. The Miami Marlins scored four runs in the top of the second and Orioles star center fielder Cedric Mullins exited with a right quadriceps injury in the bottom half.The deflating feeling of trailing early and losing a key player would have been more than enough of an excuse had the Orioles lost. But they didn’t. Baltimore topped Miami, 6-5, at Camden Yards for another comeback victory — a common theme throughout the Orioles’ stellar season.The win was the Orioles’ 56th of the season, including seventh in a row. Thirty-three of them have been in come-from-behind fashion.After trailing by four early, Baltimore had cut that down to one by the seventh inning. One night after the surprise power of Adam Fr...

Farm fields don’t just feed us. They store carbon. But a big question is how much

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:26:43 GMT

DYSART, Iowa (AP) — When Al Schafbuch cut back on plowing his Iowa fields decades ago and later began growing cover crops, he was out to save money on fertilizer and reduce erosion. He got those benefits and saw his soil change for the better, too: dark, chunky, richly organic matter that he said feels like “chocolate cake.”There’s one more big payoff that benefits everyone: tilling the soil less, and growing more cover crops, can help farmers store more planet-warming carbon in fields. More plants take in more carbon dioxide, and soil microbes breathe out less carbon when undisturbed. That can mean money for participating farmers in the form of carbon offsets — payments that companies can make that support carbon storage in farms and, in theory, balance out their emissions elsewhere.“The more carbon you store from the atmosphere with your crops, and the more crops grown throughout the year, you offset some of your waste, your wasted energy,” said Shalamar Armstrong, an ...
