Former All-star closer Reyes joins Dodgers bullpen

The Dodgers have added two more options to their pitching staff, including a one-time All-star closer, with pitchers and catchers scheduled to report in a few days.

Alex Reyes reportedly has agreed to a oneyear, $1.1 million contract with the Dodgers as a free agent. The deal includes a $3 million club option for 2024 and incentives in both seasons that could add as much as $10 million to his salary.

The former Cardinals closer is recovering from shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum performed in May and is not expected to be available to pitch until sometime in the first half of this season.

The Dodgers also signed one of their former prospects, right-hander Rubby De La Rosa, to a minor league contract. De La Rosa, 34, has not pitched in the major leagues since 2017, spending the past four seasons in Japan.

FIGURE SKATING Japan wins men's, pairs in Colorado

It was a memorable night for Japan at the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships.

Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara became the first pairs skaters from their nation to win the prestigious event among non-european countries. Then, hours later, Kao Miura followed them to the ice inside Broadmoor World Arena and made it confidently through his free skate in the thin air of Colorado Springs, Colo., to win the men’s event.

“It was really tough skating at this altitude,” Kihara admitted, “but the cheers of the audience kept our legs moving.”

Indeed, many skaters struggled to get through their long programs.

Jin Boyang appeared to be so light-headed after his free skate that he collapsed face-first to the ice. Even after taking time to catch his breath, the veteran Chinese skater still appeared unsteady as he headed to the center of the ice for bows.

Kao Miura finished with 281.53 points, the secondhighest score in the world this year, and he needed just about all of it after Keegan Messing’s performance. The longtime Canadian standardbearer took silver with 275.57 points, while Shun Sato climbed from sixth after his short program to round out the podium.

HORSE RACING Baffert's Newgate out at least 2 months

Newgate, one of trainer Bob Baffert’s promising 3-year-old colts, is off the Kentucky Derby trail.

Newgate will be out of training for at least two months after being diagnosed with a minor hock issue. The hock is an area on the back of a horse’s leg involving a series of joints and bones.

Newgate won the Robert B. Lewis Stakes by a neck at Santa Anita last week. He was second in the Sham Stakes on Jan. 8.

• Hit Show won the $250,000 Withers Stakes by 51/2 lengths in the Kentucky Derby prep at Aqueduct in New York.

Ridden by Manny Franco, Hit Show ran 9 furlongs in 1:54.71 and paid $4.60 to win as the 6-5 favorite. The 3-yearold colt earned 20 qualifying points for the Kentucky Derby and is now third on the leaderboard for the May 6 race.

Trained by Brad Cox, Hit Show earned the first stakes victory of his career.

SKIING Swiss underdog wins downhill at worlds

Swiss skier Jasmine Flury won gold in the women’s downhill at the world championships on a rough day for Sofia Goggia and most pre-race favorites in Meribel, France.

Flury edged Austrian skier Nina Ortlieb by 0.04 seconds for her first career medal at major championships.

Swiss teammate Corinne Suter came 0.12 behind to take bronze. Suter was the defending champion and won Olympic gold a year ago.

Flury had won one World Cup race in her career — a super-g in her native Switzerland more than five years ago — but had no previous top-10 result from 10 starts at worlds and Olympics.

Suter had feared she would miss the worlds after a nasty crash in a downhill in Italy last month.

Goggia, widely regarded the top gold contender after winning four of the six World Cup downhills this seasons, was disqualified after the Italian skied through a gate.

Mikaela Shiffrin sat out the race, three days after winning silver in super-g. The American was expected back at the worlds for the giant slalom on Thursday.
