CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Cubs pitcher Marcus Stroman is dealing with persistent pain because of a right rib cartilage fracture.Stroman said he isn’t sure when he’ll be able to take the mound again.“I can’t be too active; it’s not like I can do too much right now,” he said during Friday’s 4-3 loss to Kansas City. “I guess the best thing is to kind of let it heal itself.“I can barely turn right now. Breathing’s tough at some points and I can’t sit for long periods of time. I’m just taking it day by day.”Stroman was placed on the 15-day IL on Aug. 2 with right hip inflammation. The All-Star right-hander was slated to start Wednesday against the White Sox, but he had some discomfort in the rib area after throwing a bullpen session Sunday in Toronto. He visited a doctor Monday and had an MRI that showed the cartilage fracture.The Cubs want Stroman to be symptom-free before he resumes baseball activities, and they aren’t sure when he might get to that point — given the unusual i...American Marissa Steen takes lead on day 2 of the ISPS Handa World Invitational

MADRID (AP) — Valencia beat Las Palmas 1-0 at home to make it back-to-back wins to start the Spanish league on Friday, while Villarreal won at Mallorca 1-0.Midfielder José “Pepelu” García, who joined from Levante in the offseason, converted a 73rd-minute penalty after Javi Múñoz was penalized for a handball in the area.Valencia struggled to avoided relegation last campaign and lost several players in the summer. Regular starters Samuel Lino, Edinson Cavani, Yunus Musah, Justin Kluivert, Ilaix Moriba, and Nico González all left the club.Pepelu was among the few signings made by the club owned by Singapore businessman Peter Lim, who is repeatedly criticized by Valencia’s fans for his lack of investment in the squad.That left coach Rubén Baraja, a former Valencia midfielder, with the only choice of giving the club’s youth a chance.

DALLAS (AP) — American Airlines is suing a travel website that sells tickets that let people save money by exploiting a quirk in airline pricing.American sued Skiplagged Inc. in federal court in Fort Worth, Texas, this week, accusing the website of deception. It threatened to cancel every ticket that Skiplagged has sold.In a practice called skiplagging and hidden-city ticketing, travelers book a flight that includes at least one stop, but they leave the plane during a layover. Generally skiplagging is not illegal, but airlines claim that it violates their policies.Last month, American booted a 17-year-old from a flight and banned him for three years when he tried to use the tactic to fly from Gainesville, Florida, to Charlotte, North Carolina, on a ticket that listed New York City as his destination. For the teen, that was cheaper than booking a flight directly to Charlotte.In the lawsuit, American accused Skiplagged of tricking consumers into believing they can tap “some kind of se...Latest news
