Sports shorts Indians place Chisenhall on DL for third time this season Golf

Indians right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall will start the second half of the season on the disabled list with a strained right calf.

This is Chisenhall’s third stint on the disabled list. After opening the year on the DL with a bruised right shoulder joint, he returned to list in May after a concussion.

Chisenhall is hitting .305 with 12 home runs and 51 RBI this season.

The Indians announced Tyler Naquin will replace Chisenhall, who was optioned to Triple-A Columbus in mid-April.

Rory McIlroy’s preparations for next week’s British Open took another hit on July 14 when the world No. 4 failed to make the weekend at the Scottish Open, his third missed cut in his last four events.

McIlroy wasn’t close with a 7-foot birdie putt on No. 18 and shot 1-under 71 in his second round, with his 1-over total certain to fall short of the cut mark at Dundonald Links. He was 10 strokes off a threeway lead held by Padraig Harrington, Callum Shinkwin and Alexander Knappe.

McIlroy arrived in Scotland saying he “needed to see good signs in his golf game” heading to Royal Birkdale next week, but his wedge play was disappointing over both days and he didn’t hole enough putts. Of his seven birdies, five came on par fives.

He made two double-bogeys on the par-4 13th.

McIlroy also missed the cut at the U.S. Open last month and the Irish Open an event he hosted for his foundation last week. He has yet to record a victory in 2017, during which he has been sidelined for two spells with a rib injury.

Bernhard Langer made five birdies on the back nine to take a two-shot lead before rain suspended play late in the second round of the Constellation Senior Players Championship July 14.

The 59-year-old Langer was 6-under par through 16 holes and 13 under for the tournament.

Corey Pavin was the clubhouse leader after shooting a 68. Brandt Jobe was at 10 under with two holes to play, and Scott McCarron shot a 68 to get to 9 under at the midpoint.
