ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Mike Trout is making progress in his recovery from a broken bone in his left hand, but the three-time AL MVP still isn’t close to a return.Trout had the stitches removed this week following surgery to repair his broken hamate bone, the slugger said Friday. His hand is still bruised and scabbed, and it must heal fully before he can resume swinging a bat.Trout has been out since July 3, when he hurt his hand on a swing.

He has missed large portions of the past three seasons with injuries, including all three All-Star Games since 2019.Despite Trout’...

Cubs President Jed Hoyer has remained coy about his intentions at the Aug. 1 trade deadline, though all indications point to a mini sell-off without a post-All-Star break tear.But time is running out, and even after Friday’s 4-3 win over the Cardinals, the Cubs inched ...
