Rangers trade D Carson Soucy to Isles for 3rd-round pick

Mandatory Credit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images The New York Rangers traded defenseman Carson Soucy to the New York Islanders on Monday night, the start of what Rangers general manager Chris Drury said would be a “retool.”
The Islanders sent their New York rivals a third-round pick in the 2026 draft.
Before the deal was confirmed, the Rangers held Soucy out of their Monday game against the visiting Boston Bruins, and New York went on to win 4-3 in overtime.
Soucy, 31, has three goals, five assists and 18 penalty minutes in 46 games this season, averaging 17:13 of ice time with 66 blocks and 71 hits.
The Rangers acquired Soucy from the Vancouver Canucks at the 2025 trade deadline.
The Alberta native has 95 points (30 goals, 65 assists) in 411 games with the Minnesota Wild, Seattle Kraken, Canucks and Rangers. The Wild drafted him in the fifth round in 2013.
The Islanders, who blanked the host Philadelphia Flyers 4-0 on Monday, sit in third place in the Metropolitan Division.
The Rangers are in the Eastern Conference cellar, and Drury recently sent a letter to fans about the team’s forthcoming plans.
“This will not be a rebuild. This will be a retool built around our core players and prospects,” Drury wrote on Jan. 16. “We will target players that bring tenacity, skill, speed, and a winning pedigree with a focus on obtaining young players, draft picks, and cap space to allow us flexibility moving forward. That may mean saying goodbye to players that have brought us and our fans great moments over the years.”

Padres' Miguel Andujar (fractured wrist) placed on 10-day IL
Jul 19, 2026; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; San Diego Padres first baseman Ty France (25) celebrates with designated hitter Miguel Andujar (41) against the Kansas City Royals after hitting a solo home run during the ninth inning at Kauffman Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Denny Medley-Imagn Images 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.

Generali Open
Fifth-seeded Ignacio Buse, Peru’s top-ranked player, needed two hours and 38 minutes to defeat Czech Vit Kopriva 7-5, 6-7 (3), 6-1, in the first round in Kitzbuhel, Austria.
Kopriva served for the first set at 5-4, but Buse broke twice to win the set and overwhelmed his opponent in the deciding set.
Argentina’s Facundo Diaz Acosta won the other three-set match of the first day, rallying to defeat Italian qualifier Federico Cina 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.

Alex Palou takes checkers at rain-delayed Music City Grand Prix
NTT IndyCar Series driver Alex Palou (10) crosses the finish line ahead of Josef Newgarden (2) and David Malukas (12) to win the Music City Grand Prix at Nashville Superspeedway in Lebanon, Tenn., Monday, July 20, 2026. Alex Palou got a day off to celebrate his native Spain’s triumph in the World Cup final before hitting the racetrack and adding to his own trophy collection.
Palou won the rain-delayed Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix on Monday afternoon in Lebanon, Tenn., for his fifth title in 12 races this season.
The race was originally scheduled for Sunday after Fox concluded its coverage of the World Cup final, in which Spain bested Argentina 1-0 for the country’s second title. But as the racers waited — and Palou celebrated — storms rolled across Nashville Superspeedway. By the time the track was dried later Sunday night, another spate of storms made it impossible to fit in the race.
“That’s a pretty cool weekend for Spain, right? It was impressive what they did (Sunday) over at the World Cup. Happy to top it off today on Monday. My first-ever win on Monday, never raced on Monday, so it’s very cool.”
Palou, 29, inched closer to his fourth straight series championship and fifth in six years. He gained an additional 27 points on the field and leads David Malukas by 83 with six races left to go.
Driving his No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, Palou finished 0.8731 seconds ahead of defending Nashville champion Josef Newgarden. Malukas, Newgarden’s Team Penske teammate, placed third. Palou led a race-high 97 laps.
Malukas, 24, hit his right knee against the steering wheel in a crash at practice Saturday and spent some time in the hospital this weekend for tests. The Indianapolis 500 runner-up was told he didn’t break or tear anything in the knee.
He went from last at the start of the race to third, leading 59 laps along the way.
“It’s so cool to see, when you have all these people work on a collective project, you can see it come to fruition and it’s gonna happen,” Malukas said. “And what a result. We needed that for the championship (race). We’re still there. It’s a good result, good recovery. Big thank-you to everybody. That was the hardest race of my life.”
Kyle Kirkwood, starting from pole position, settled for 10th.
