With his placement on the IL retroactive to Friday, that would mean the start of the Giants’ series in Colorado, next Tuesday.“We’re not looking for players who are banged up or hurt to come back and play at less than near full capacity,” Kapler said. “We’re learning that more and more when players come ba...

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Rodrygo scored twice to give Real Madrid a 2-1 win at Sevilla on Saturday in a Spanish league match that was missing fellow Brazilian Vinícius Júnior following the international uproar against the racial abuse he has endured.Vinícius did not travel with the team due to what coach Carlo Ancelotti said was a knee injury that also kept him from playing midweek against Rayo Vallecano. His absence from the field comes amid a huge uproar that has reached his native Brazil after he was racially abused by fans during last weekend’s game at Valencia.Karim Benzema and forward Marco Asensio also missed the match with an injury. The 22-year-old Rodrygo did just fine all on his own as the sole forward in Madrid’s starting lineup along with five midfielders.Rodrygo, who missed a clear opportunity to score early in the game, said he was a bit upset with Ancelotti for replacing him with defender Nacho Fernández with 20 minutes to play to help protect the lead.“I wanted a hat...
