The Texas Rangers activated right-hander Chris Martin from the injured list on Saturday and placed right-hander Jakob Junis on the IL retroactive to Wednesday.

Martin, 40, has been out for just over a month with a right shoulder impingement. He was 1-1 with a 7.84 ERA over 12 relief appearances this season and is 19-25 with a 3.45 ERA over 430 relief appearances in 11 seasons for seven different clubs.

Junis, 33, is dealing with a right hip impingement. He is 1-1 with a 2.80 ERA in 31 appearances (one start) for the Rangers this season, and in 10 career seasons, he is 47-47 with a 4.29 ERA in 280 appearances (117 starts) for six different clubs.

Alexander Zverev is showing no hangover effects after capturing his first-ever Grand Slam event.

The French Open champion, who has typically struggled on the grass at Wimbledon, reached the fourth round with a convincing 6-2, 7-6 (4), 6-4 victory over Marcos Giron on Saturday.

The German served brilliantly, smashing 17 aces to only three double-faults and won 54-of-70 first-serve points.

After a routine first set, neither player flinched in the second, leading to a tie-breaker. Zverev sprinted to a 6-2 lead in the breaker, but Giron held off three consecutive set points before succumbing on the second seed’s forehand volley winner.

“He (Giron) is somebody who plays fantastic on grass and he shows it every time he steps out on the surface,” Zverev said. “He has won tour-level events on the surface, I knew that I had to be a hundred per cent ready from the first point onwards and I am very happy to be through in straight sets.”

Zverev has never been past the fourth round in London. To do so, he will have to take out No. 13 Jiri Lehecka of the Czech Republic, who edged Spain’s Jaume Munar, 6-4, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.

Lehecka blasted 52 winners in the four-set win and staved off six of Munar’s eight break point opportunities.

Zverev is 1-1 versus Lehecka, but the two have not played since 2023.

In the other quarter of the bracket, fifth-seeded Alex de Minaur outlasted Zachary Svajda, 6-2, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4 and No. 9 Flavio Cobolli of Italy rallied to knock off Russia’s Karen Khachanov, 0-6, 7-6 (4), 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-2.

The Australian took advantage of Svajda’s second serve, winning 35-of-50 points and converting eight break point chances. He also was efficient at the net, winning 22-of-27 while moving forward in the two-hour, 40-minute match.

“I feel great. I’m happy to get through the first week. This is the first goal of the tournament, obviously,” De Minaur said. “It’s getting down to crunch time, I guess. I’m happy with the way I have been playing. The body is feeling great. I thought today was probably the best I moved around the court.”

Cobolli, the French Open runner-up to Zverev, won only nine points in the first set. But after splitting a pair of tie-breakers, he flipped the early script, recording 22 winners and only 10 unforced errors.

de Minaur has won both matches against Cobolli, but the two hard-hitting baseliners have not played since 2024.

Azzedine Ounahi’s second-half brace helped Morocco overcome a tepid start for a 3-0 victory over Canada in Houston on Saturday to advance to the quarterfinals for a second straight World Cup.

Morocco, unbeaten in 34 matches, plays June 9 in Boston against the winner of the France-Paraguay match from later Saturday.

Ounahi gave Morocco the lead in the 50th minute and added another in the 82nd minute on a breakout before Soufiane Rahimi scored against a pressing Canada in the eighth minute of stoppage time.

Canada’s dream run ended after failing to take advantage of early domination. They had never before this year advanced out of the group stage, but did so and won their first knockout match, 1-0 against South Africa in the round of 32.

Morocco is No. 6 in the FIFA world rankings; Canada 30th.

There were four yellow cards apiece and Canada had 24 fouls to 14 for Morocco.

After a listless first half, Morocco stunned Canada with a goal from nowhere on only their second shot of the match.

Achraf Hakimi lined up for a free kick to the right of the goal after a yellow card, the seventh of the match, to Canada’s Luc de Fougerolles for a sloppy foul on Soufiane Rahimi.

Hakimi put the ball on the ground to Ounahi on the edge of the box and he one-timed a shot to the right corner with the Canadians caught a step behind.

In the 77th minute, Canada’s Jonathan David sent a free kick from outside the box over the bar and a minute later, teammate Tajon Buchanan’s long strike forced a diving stop at the left post by Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou.

That proved crucial when Ounahi took a layoff pass from Brahim Diaz to make it 2-0.

Morocco suffered a major blow in the 22nd minute when leading scorer Ismael Saibari had to leave with a possible hamstring injury. The 25-year-old attacking midfielder scored in all three group matches and on Wednesday it was announced he was joining Germany’s Bayern Munich from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven.

Canada looked nothing like a nervous team in their first round of 16 going against a 2022 World Cup semifinalist.

As is the style of American-born coach Jesse Marsch, the Canadians were on the attack from the start. Within five minutes, Bounou made a close-range save on David and followed soon after with a punch of a Stephen Eustaquio corner, but he made his best stop in the 12th after Canada’s pressure resulted in a giveaway.

Tani Oluwaseyi got the ball at the top of the box, made a sharp turn then fired a low shot that required Bounou to make the save with his outstretched left leg.

By the hydration break, Canada had all four shots, two on target, in the match.
