Byron Buxton can't catch a break. The Twins All-Star center fielder was pulled from Sunday's game against the Yankees after just one inning, reaggravating a hip injury that has already haunted his season. For a Minnesota club with playoff aspirations, losing Buxton early and often is a wound that just won't close.

Meanwhile in Milwaukee, Brandon Woodruff is heading back to the injured list after a shoulder inflammation flare-up forced him out of his Saturday start against Arizona. Scouts noticed a drop in velocity before the Brewers shut him down, and with the second half approaching, the timing could not be worse for a rotation that needs every arm it can get.

And on the international stage, Belgium is furious. The Belgian football federation says it is investigating all potential options after a stunning red card reversal that allowed United States striker Folarin Balogun to remain eligible for the World Cup Round of Sixteen. Belgium believed they were heading into that match with a significant advantage, and now that calculation has changed completely.

That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
