Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa and center fielder Byron Buxton exited Thursday’s game against Baltimore after colliding in the third inning.
Baltimore’s Cedric Mullins hit a fly ball to shallow center field. Correa retreated to the outfield grass in pursuit while Buxton raced in. Buxton appeared to call off Correa at the last minute, but it was too late. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Buxton slammed into the 6-3, 220-pound Correa.
Correa exited the game immediately and was replaced by Jonah Bride. Buxton stayed in for the remainder of the third inning but did not return for the fourth and was replaced by Ty France.
The 30-year-old Correa has missed just three games this season — all scheduled rest days — after being limited to 86 games last season because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

The Twins entered the day on a 10-game winning streak that brought them back into the mix in the competitive AL Central. They have also had a sudden influx of injuries. In the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Orioles, Harrison Bader exited in the third inning after feeling tightness in his groin. He was not in the lineup for Thursday’s series finale. France left the first game of the doubleheader with a left foot contusion after fouling a ball off of his foot, and while he didn’t start on Thursday, he was able to take Buxton’s spot in the lineup mid-game.

Astros’ Hunter Brown matches Rangers’ Jacob deGrom to punctuate prolific calendar year
ARLINGTON, Texas — To the baseball world outside of Texas, Hunter Brown remains a relative unknown. He makes the major-league minimum salary, is still awaiting his first major award, sports a common surname and shares a clubhouse with such established superstars that this soft-spoken Michigander may be easy to miss.AdvertisementBrown has no flair for boasting or braggadocio. He has stayed out of the spotlight for so much of his major-league career, but found it shining upon him on Thursday night. The biggest stage May can afford awaited him at Globe Life Field. Jacob deGrom, an ace with all of the aforementioned attributes Brown lacks, loomed to oppose him.“That bulldog mentality that he brings to the mound with him is how you compete with guys like that,” Houston Astros first baseman Christian Walker said after a 1-0 loss to the Texas […]

Sonia Bompastor is Chelsea’s ultimate competitor, raising standards and always eyeing history
Had Chelsea not ended the Women’s Super League (WSL) season unbeaten, captain Millie Bright would have been livid. The defender said so to her team-mates and on her podcast. She was unequivocal.“You wouldn’t catch me at the after party. Winning the league or not, that would’ve completed ruined my season if we’d lost,” she said on Daly Brightness, referring to the final game of the season against Liverpool, when history rested on that result at Stamford Bridge.AdvertisementMaybe for some Bright’s comments come across as over the top. But for this Chelsea side they’re not. WSL winners with an ‘invincible’ record and a league record 60 points — 18 of which arrived against supposed title rivals Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United — a League Cup trophy won and a trip to Wembley for the FA Cup final coming this Sunday, […]
