NEW YORK (AP) — Speedy outfielder Terrance Gore was traded to the New York Yankees by the Kansas City Royals for $100,000 on Wednesday.The deal was announced before New York's scheduled game against the Tampa Bay Rays was postponed due to a forecast of severe inclement weather. Gore was not added to the Yankees' 40-man roster, and will report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.The 5-foot-7 Gore is one of the fastest players in the majors and could be called up when major league rosters expand in September. He gives the AL East leaders a potential pinch-runner deluxe in the late innings of critical games — perhaps even come playoff time in October."Obviously, depth and obviously a guy with a lot of speed that can play a certain role for you down the stretch," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said.A right-handed hitter, the 28-year-old Gore was designated for assignment by the rebuilding Royals last week. He batted .275 (14 for 51) with 13 stolen bases in 18 attempts over a career-high 37 games for Kansas City this year. He has played in 100 games over six big league seasons, going 15 for 67 (.224) with 40 steals in 49 tries.Gore swiped four bases in five attempts during the 2014 and '15 postseasons, doing his part to help the Royals win consecutive AL pennants and a World Series championship.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

"I don't expect any decision right now. We'll just wait until we can give it some time to see how it feels."Mondesi leads the major leagues in stolen bases (31) and triples (nine). The injury comes 15 days after Mondesi returned to the Royals following his first stint on the injured list this season for a right groin strain.In Mondesi's absence,... [More]

But less than two hours later, it was pouring at Yankee Stadium as lightning flashed in the sky.The game will be made up Thursday as part of a single-admission doubleheader beginning at 3 p.m. After that, Tampa Bay is not scheduled to return to New York this season."Obviously, it kind of stinks. But maybe not the worst thing," Rays manager Kevin Cash said. "I kind of like the off day to freshen up the bullpen a little bit."New York leads the AL East by six games over the Rays.

MIAMI (AP) — Rookie right-hander Chris Paddack of the San Diego Padres lost his no-hit bid when the Miami Marlins' Starlin Castro led off the eighth inning with a home run.The Padres, who played their first game in 1969, are the only team in the majors to never throw a no-hitter.Paddack opened the eighth having thrown 82 pitches. Castro lined the second pitch of his at-bat over the wall in left.Cesar Puello was the first Marlins hitter to reach first base on a throwing error by shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. to lead off the sixth inning. Yadiel Rivera walked with two outs in the inning. Paddack ended the sixth by tagging a diving Miguel Rojas on a close play at first base. The out call was upheld by a replay review of 2 minutes, 29 seconds.Paddack had struck out seven and walked one entering the eighth. The Padres led 3-1 following the homer.Paddack is pitching for the first time against the Marlins, who drafted him in 2015 and traded him to San Diego the following year.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

On Wednesday, Price called it "trash" that Eckersley discussed the incident during an interview for a lengthy piece on the former pitcher's life and career."I didn't know how to deal with that. I don't plan on saying a word to him, I don't plan on seeing him, never," Eckersley told The Boston Globe Magazine about the incident. "I don't really give a (expletive) one way or another. I don't think he really cares one way or the other."That was the only time Eckersley was quoted about the run-in.About three hours before the scheduled first pitch of the Red Sox-Blue Jays game at Fenway Park, Price let loose about Eckersley to reporters in the home clubhouse."The...

NEW YORK (AP) — Mets pitcher Zack Wheeler has been placed on the 10-day injured list because of shoulder fatigue, which could complicate efforts by the out-of-contention team to trade the right-hander before the July 31 deadline.New York made the move retroactive to Friday, and Wheeler will be eligible to be activated July 22.Wheeler last started July 7 and the Mets said Monday the injury was discovered following the All-Star break. Steven Matz will start in Wheeler's place Tuesday night at Minnesota.Wheeler is 6-6 with a 4.69 ERA in 19 starts this season, striking out 130 and walking 34 in 119 innings. The 29-year-old, 39-36 in five big league seasons, is eligible for free agency after the World Series.New York (42-51) won two of three at Miami last weekend in a matchup of the teams with the two poorest records in the National League.NOTES: Veteran outfielder Matt Kemp was released by Triple-A Syracuse last weekend.
