PRO BASEBALL: Padres RHP Yu Darvish was placed on the restricted list to deal with a personal family matter, manager Mike Shildt said. There’s no timetable for Darvish’s return.“We want to respect his privacy,” Shildt said.“He wants to make sure everybody knows he’s physically in a good spot and he’s still working on his craft but he is going to step away right now and deal with some things on a personal level.” Darvish, 37, is on the injured list for the second time this season, with a groin strain. He was tentatively scheduled to be activated June 25 but developed elbow inflammation and remained on the IL. He is 4-3 with a 3.20 ERA in 11 starts.

Ferguson was tied with Jordan Smith going into the final round. Smith shot 70 and tied for second with David Micheluzzi (68).

AUTO RACING: When it comes to oval tracks, Shane van Gisbergen is a work in progress. When it comes to the streets of Chicago — or any road course, really — van Gisbergen is one of NASCAR’s best drivers. The 35-yearold New Zealand native proved it again Saturday, pulling away from Ty Gibbs for his third Xfinity Series victory of the season. Van Gisbergen started on the pole before dropping back after a pit stop. He then made his way through the field before moving in front following a late restart. He led four times for a total of 14 laps. Gibbs was second, followed by Kyle Larson, Parker Kligerman and rookie Jesse Love.
