Midwest Sports Headlines: 6/11/2019

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Former Iowa star Megan Gustafson talks about the highs and lows of her professional women’s basketball experience, from getting drafted by Dallas to getting cut just before final rosters were announced. The AP Player of the Year will be competing with an Iowa alumni team in The Basketball Tournament.

MIAMI (AP) — Michael Wacha pitched six scoreless innings in his return to the St. Louis Cardinals’ rotation, and they broke a three-game losing streak by beating Miami 4-1. Wacha, who was briefly demoted to the bullpen, benefited from three double plays and a pickoff in his first start since May 22. The former All-Star allowed five hits, struck out four and lowered his ERA to 5.63.

MIAMI (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a mild left hamstring strain, and the team is hoping he’ll miss only one start. The 37-year-old Wainwright was hurt running out a double in the fifth inning of Sunday night’s loss at the Cubs. He returned to St. Louis while the Cardinals flew to Miami for a three-game series, and he’ll be re-evaluated in a week.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Boston Bruins’ consistent approach on and off the ice will be tested one more time in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final against the St. Louis Blues. This is an experienced Boston roster with five players left from the 2011 Cup championship team that vanquished the Canucks in Vancouver, also the previous time the final went to a seventh and deciding game. The smart money is on the Bruins, who carry with them some momentum from a Game 6 victory.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas has added Iowa sharpshooter Isaiah Moss as a graduate transfer. The addition of Moss strengthens the backcourt and provides a 3-point threat that the Jayhawks had been lacking on their roster. Moss was a three-year starter for the Hawkeyes, averaging 9.2 points last season.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Auburn scored 13 runs in the first inning to stun host North Carolina en route to a 14-7 victory that sent the Tigers to the College World Series for the first time since 1997. Judd Ward hit a three-run homer and Edouard Julien and Matt Scheffler each had two-run singles in the Tigers’ overwhelming opening act. It turned the rest of the deciding game in the best-of-three NCAA super-regional series into a formality.

Kansas adds Iowa guard Moss as graduate transfer

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas added Iowa sharpshooter Isaiah Moss as a graduate transfer on Monday, strengthening its backcourt and providing a 3-point threat that the Jayhawks had been lacking on their roster.

Moss was a three-year starter for the Hawkeyes, averaging 9.2 points last season. He was second on the team in steals and fourth in assists while hitting 42.1% of his 3-pointers. That mark from beyond the arc was the sixth best by an Iowa junior in school history.

Jayhawks coach Bill Self says the NCAA’s recent decision to move the 3-point line back beginning next season made it crucial to add another deep threat. Self anticipates Moss will still shoot between 40 and 45%.

Moss joins a trio of newcomers in combo guards Isaac McBride and Christian Braun and swingman Tristan Enaruna. Those three will be freshmen this fall.

Cardinals place Wainwright on 10-day Injured List

Sports

June 10th, 2019 by admin

MIAMI, Fla., June 10, 2019 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced that RHP Adam Wainwright has been placed on the 10-day Injured List with a left hamstring strain effective today.  Right-handed pitcher Ryan Helsley has been recalled from Memphis (AAA).

Wainwright, 37, was removed from last night’s game in Chicago during the 5th inning after injuring his left hamstring while reaching base on a double in the top half of the 5th inning.

The Cardinals veteran pitcher has made 13 starts this season, tied for the most on the club, while ranking second on the team in innings pitched (70.1) and strikeouts (61).  During last night’ game, Wainwright became the sixth pitcher in Cardinals franchise history to surpass 2,000 innings pitched.

The move to the Injured List is Wainwright’s first since last May 14-September 9, 2018, when he missed 104 games with right elbow inflammation.  This marks Wainwright’s ninth term on the Injured List over his 14-year Major League career.

Helsley, 24, has made six relief appearances for the Cardinals this season posting no record and a 2.70 ERA while holding his opposition to a .121 batting average (4-33).  The rookie right-hander is coming off back-to-back scoreless appearances this past weekend in Chicago, before being optioned back to Memphis on Sunday with the recall of RHP Daniel Ponce de Leon.  Today will mark Helsley’s fourth recall of the season to St. Louis.

Right-handed pitcher Merandy González has cleared waivers and will be out-righted off the St. Louis Cardinals 40-man roster.  He remains in Springfield (AA) on the Cardinals double-A active roster.
