HOT CORNER

1 PRO BASEBALL: Los Angeles Dodgers closer Evan Phillips has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a strained right hamstring. Phillips got hurt when his spike caught in the grass while he was playing catch, manager Dave Roberts said. It is a Grade 1 strain, the least severe type.

In a corresponding move, the Dodgers activated reliever Blake Treinen from the IL. The 29-year-old Phillips has a 0.66 ERA and eight saves in 14 outings this season. The team does not have an immediate replacement in mind to close games, Roberts said.

2 PRO BASEBALL: Cleveland Guardians left fielder Steven Kwan will undergo further testing after leaving Saturday’s game with a tight hamstring. Kwan, who entered the day leading the American League with a .356 batting average, told manager Steve Vogt he felt some tightness in his hamstring while making a running catch down the foul line in Cleveland’s 7-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Vogt said Kwan was pulled in the fourth inning out of an abundance of caution. The outfielder is off to a great start this season. He leads the league in hits and already has seven three-hit games.

3 PRO FOOTBALL: Bob Avellini, the former Chicago quarterback who teamed with Hall of Fame running back Walter Payton to lead the Bears to the 1977 playoffs, died Saturday. He was 70. The Bears said Avellini died after a battle with cancer. Avellini and Payton had the finest seasons of their careers in 1977, when Chicago and the Minnesota Vikings each went 9-5 in the NFC North. The former Maryland star threw for 7,111 yards with 33 touchdowns and 69 interceptions in 73 games over nine seasons, from 1975 to 1984.

4 PRO GOLF: Scott Dunlap has his second PGA Tour Champions victory and he didn’t have to hit a shot on Sunday. Dunlap has been declared the 36-hole winner of the Insperity Invitational after rain wiped out the final round. Rain also washed out the first round Friday, leading players to go 36 holes on Saturday. Dunlap had rounds of 65-70 for a one-shot lead over Joe Durant and Stuart Appleby.
