Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese left Sunday’s 93-91 win over the visiting Chicago Sky early in the fourth quarter after injuring her left leg during a layup attempt and did not return.

Just 15 seconds into the fourth, Reese was driving for a layup when she appeared to roll her ankle as she released the ball and went down to the floor.

Courtney Vandersloot was called for a foul as she defended on the play but a replay showed Vandersloot did not touch Reese and the foul call was overturned. Reese was also wearing a sleeve over her left knee.

After getting back to her feet, Reese went back down to the floor before returning to the bench. She was ruled out for the rest of the game, and no update was provided on her status, though coach Karl Smesko did speak with the media.

“It’s hard because we’re in the timeout. It seemed like a really long timeout, and there wasn’t a lot being said because we were all just looking at Angel,” Sesko said. “And when I was looking at her, it seemed like she was in a lot of pain, and she wanted to go out there and keep playing because she’s competitive and she wants to win the game. … I just didn’t feel comfortable with it because she looked like she was in a lot of pain.”

Reese, an All-Star in each of her first two seasons with Chicago, entered the game averaging a career-best 15.7 points along with a league-leading 11.8 rebounds.

She was traded from Chicago along with a second-round pick to Atlanta for a pair of first-round picks in the offseason.

She scored eight points with five rebounds in 20 minutes Sunday.

Egypt’s Mayar Sherif claimed her first title in nearly four years Monday after Spain’s Paula Badosa retired in the final of the Iasi Open in Romania.

In a match moved back from Sunday due to rain, Sherif was up 6-4, 4-0 when Badosa was forced to bow out due to injury after 70 minutes.

Sherif, 30, took control with a service break in the seventh game of the opening set and broke Badosa twice to open the second set.

Sherif claimed her first WTA Tour-level trophy since winning the Parma Open in Italy — also on clay — in October 2022.

Croatian sixth seed Antonia Ruzic made a quick exit, losing her opening-round match 7-6 (2), 6-4 to Dominika Salkova, who was playing in front of a friendly crowd in her native Czech Republic.

Salkova won 52.2% of her return points while holding a narrow 5-4 edge in breaks. She survived a roller coaster of a match which saw her win the first four games but losing the next five.

Czech No. 1 seed Marie Bouzkova and No. 8 seed Daria Snigur of Ukraine did not have the same trouble in their opening matches. Bouzkova beat Jessica Bouzas Maneiro of Spain 7-5, 7-5, while Snigur won a 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 marathon against Germany’s Ella Seidel.

In unseeded action, Ayla Aksu of Turkey beat Belgium’s Sofia Costoulas 2-6, 6-3, 6-4; Lucie Havlickova of the Czech Republic triumphed against Alycia Parks 6-2, 6-4; Carol Young Suh Lee overcame Ukraine’s Veronika Podrez 6-1, 5-7, 6-2; and France’s Oceane Dodin swept Czech Alisa Oktiabreva 6-3, 6-3.

MSC Hamburg Ladies Open

No. 2 seed Anhelina Kalinina of Ukraine swept Kaitlin Quevedo of Spain 7-5, 6-4 on the opening day of the tournament in Germany.

It was a chaotic match, with 14 games won by the returning player and just eight won by the serving player. Kalinina, though, was more opportunistic, winning 8 of 17 break-point opportunities to overcome a no-ace performance with nine double faults.

In other Day 1 action, Anna Bondar of Hungary bested Japan’s Moyuka Uchijima 7-5, 6-4 by winning 48.4% of her return points. German wild card Julia Stusek outlasted Argentina’s Nadia Podoroska for a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 win in the most competitive match of the day.

Baltimore Orioles standout catcher Adley Rutschman was placed on the 10-day injured with left wrist inflammation on Monday.

The move involving the three-time All-Star is retroactive to Sunday.

Rutschman represented the Orioles in the All-Star Game last week. He is batting .251 with eight homers, 19 doubles and 47 RBIs in 67 games this season.

Rutschman, 28, has been banged up this season, previously missing time due to a left ankle injury and a concussion.

Rutschman was the No. 1 overall pick of the 2019 draft and also made the American League All-Star team in 2023 and 2024.

He has a .254 career average with 69 homers and 277 RBIs in 572 games over five seasons with Baltimore.

Also, Baltimore backup catcher Samuel Basallo exited Sunday’s 5-2 win over the Houston Astros with right shoulder discomfort and manager Craig Albernaz termed him “day to day” on Monday. He has started 44 games behind the plate and has 16 homers and 46 RBIs in 86 overall games.

Sam Huff is the starting catcher for Monday’s game against the host Boston Red Sox. He is 4-for-26 (.154) in 10 games this season.

The Orioles also promoted catcher Chadwick Tromp from Triple-A Norfolk and designated outfielder Rudy Martin Jr. for assignment. Tromp went 2-for-3 with one RBI in one game for Baltimore earlier this season.

Padres' Miguel Andujar (fractured wrist) placed on 10-day IL

San Diego Padres utility man Miguel Andujar was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday after fracturing his right wrist during Sunday’s 19-2 road victory over the Kansas City Royals.

Padres manager Craig Stammen referred to the injury as a “little fracture” and said it wasn’t season-ending.

Andujar was hit by a pitch from Kansas City right-hander Lucas Erceg in the eighth inning of Sunday’s game. He remained in the game but later on, the wrist flared up.

“It was a breaking ball, we didn’t think much of it,” Stammen told reporters before Monday’s road game against the Atlanta Braves. “He kind of shook it off, went to first and said it didn’t really hurt that much.”

X-rays revealed the break. Stammen said doctors decided against putting a cast on Andujar, a move that can speed up the recovery.

Andujar, 31, is batting .259 with five homers and 22 RBIs in 74 games during his first season with the Padres. He has a .279 career mark with 58 blasts and 245 RBIs in 541 games over 10 seasons.

San Diego recalled catcher Rodolfo Duran from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move. Duran batted .146 with three homers and eight RBIs in 35 games for the Padres earlier this season.
