The Dallas Cowboys have a good news, bad news situation with injured defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence. Per a report on Sunday from ESPN, the Lisfranc injury in Lawrence’s right foot won’t require surgery, but he is still looking at being out four to eight weeks.

The four-time Pro Bowl selection has recorded three sacks in four games this season.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy on Friday described the injury as being more severe than the team originally expected, a day after Dallas’ 20-15 win over the New York Giants. Lawrence suffered the injury in the third quarter as he chased Giants quarterback Daniel Jones.

A closer look at his sprain revealed no bones were displaced, meaning he won’t need surgery, but the standout defender is still likely headed to injured reserve, which would keep him out at least four games.

The Cowboys (2-2) have an extended break before Week 5 with what appears to be a challenging stretch ahead. The Cowboys play the Steelers in primetime Oct. 6 at Pittsburgh and host the Detroit Lions in Week 6 before a bye week. The Cowboys return for a Sunday night matchup with the San Francisco 49ers on Oct. 27.

Linebackers Micah Parsons was also injured Thursday, but his high-ankle sprain isn’t expected to keep him out as long.

Lawrence, 32, has 61.5 career sacks in 141 regular-season games, all with Dallas.

Heliot Ramos hit a three-run home run, Drew Gilbert and Casey Schmitt added solo shots and the San Francisco Giants beat the Nationals 10-5 in Washington on Friday night.

Matt Chapman had three hits and drove in three runs for the Giants, who have won two in row.

Logan Webb (2-2) went six innings for the win, allowing four runs on seven hits.

After scoring three runs or less in five straight games, the Giants jumped in front with a six-run second inning.

James Wood and Daylen Lile homered, and Jose Tena had three hits for the Nationals.

Washington’s Zack Littell (0-2) gave up eight runs on 11 hits over four innings.

Schmitt and Jung Hoo Lee opened the second inning with singles and Ramos followed with his first homer of the season, a three-run shot to center, to make it 3-0.

After Daniel Susac singled and was thrown out attempting to steal, Gilbert walked and Willy Adames singled. Littell retired Luis Arraez on a groundout as both runners advanced, and Champman lined a single to left center to make it 5-0. Rafael Devers doubled over the head of Wood in right and the lead was 6-0.

The Nationals got one back in the third. Tena singled and went to third on a single by Keibert Ruiz. Wood struck out, but Brady House grounded into a fielder’s choice and Tena scored.

Joey Wiemer singled leading off the bottom half and Lile homered to center to pull Washington within 8-3.

Lile walked with one out in the sixth and scored on a two-out single by Tena.

Schmitt homered in the seventh to make it 9-4, but Wood answered in the bottom half to make it 9-5.

Ramos walked with the bases loaded in the ninth to push the lead to 10-5.

Ryan McMahon the unlikely hero as Yankees edge Royals

Ryan McMahon hit a tiebreaking two-run homer with two outs in the eighth inning and the New York Yankees earned a 4-2 victory over the visiting Kansas City Royals on Friday night.

After not starting the game, McMahon entered at third base for Amed Rosario. Ben Rice kept the inning going with a two-out single, and McMahon snapped a 2-2 tie by sending a 2-1 changeup from Alex Lange (0-1) into the left field seats. McMahon’s homer sent left fielder Starling Marte back, but the wind appeared to carry it over the fence.

It was McMahon’s sixth hit in 43 at-bats this season — his first extra-base hit — and it occurred after manager Aaron Boone said the left-handed hitting McMahon was working on some things with his swing behind the scenes.

The Yankees have won five games in their final at-bat this year, which are their five most recent victories. McMahon drew a walk on Monday when Jose Caballero scored on a wild pitch by Jordan Romano in an 11-10 win over the Los Angeles Angels.

McMahon delivered his clutch homer after Camilo Doval (1-0) allowed a tying homer down the right field line by Vinnie Pasquantino. Doval quickly got the final out and David Bednar notched his sixth save.

Rice hit a two-run homer in the fourth off Michael Wacha as the Yankees did enough with five hits to win for just the third time in their past 10 games.

Before Doval faltered, New York’s Cam Schlittler allowed an unearned run on three hits in six-plus innings. The right-hander struck out six and walked two while throwing mostly four-seam fastballs, sinkers and cutters among his season-high 93 pitches.

Schlittler pitched around a dropped fly ball by center fielder Trent Grisham in the sixth.

With one out and Maikel Garcia on first, Bobby Witt Jr. hit a fly to the warning track in center field in front of the New York bullpen. As Grisham settled under it, the ball caromed off his glove for a two-base error and Garcia advanced to third.

After allowing Pasquantino’s RBI grounder, Schlittler struck out Salvador Perez to end the sixth.

The Royals lost for the fifth game in a row and the eighth time in 10 games. Nine of those games have been decided by two runs or fewer.

Wacha allowed two runs on three hits in six innings. The right-hander struck out six and walked three.
