Trump administration to buy back another energy company's offshore wind leases for 4 more projects
SUMMARY: The Trump administration says it’s buying back another energy company’s U.S. offshore wind leases for four more wind projects, bringing the total amount spent on these agreements to nearly $2.6 billion. Chicago-based Invenergy has agreed to end its four offshore wind leases that were very early in development in exchange for reimbursements of lease fees totaling $765 million. The company had already canceled the Leading Light Wind project off New Jersey’s coast. The others are off the coasts of Maine and California. It will invest in natural gas and geothermal projects instead. The Republican administration is stopping offshore wind farms that President Donald Trump doesn't support, and redirecting the money to fossil fuel projects that he does.

Flyers acquire goalie Joseph Woll and defenseman Simon Benoit in a trade with the Maple Leafs
SUMMARY: The Philadelphia Flyers have acquired goaltender Joseph Woll and defenseman Simon Benoit in a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs. They sent goalie Samuel Ersson, defenseman Emil Andrae and a third-round pick in next week's draft to the Leafs. The swap that was announced Tuesday gives Philadelphia a dependable backup to prospective starter Dan Vladar, who is coming off a career year that included a strong first round of the playoffs to beat Pittsburgh. The move is new Toronto general manager John Chayka's first change to the roster since taking over in early May.

Royals' Seth Lugo is expected to start Friday after being hit in the head by a line drive last week
SUMMARY: Kansas City Royals right-hander Seth Lugo threw a bullpen session and is expected to start Friday after spending time on the concussion list. Lugo was hit in the head by a 106.6 mph line drive against Texas last week. Manager Matt Quatraro said before Tuesday night’s game at Washington that Lugo felt good and is expected to return Friday night, when the Royals host St. Louis. The news hasn’t been as promising about left-hander Cole Ragans. He had a setback during rehab from a left elbow injury. Quatraro said Ragans is still having symptoms and remains shut down.

Orioles reinstate Helsley from 15-day injured list
SUMMARY: The Baltimore Orioles reinstated closer Ryan Helsley from the 15-day injured list prior to Tuesday night’s opener against the Mariners. Helsley, 31, had been on the IL since April 29 with right elbow inflammation. Right-hander Anthony Nunez was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk to make room for Helsley. Helsley, who signed a two-year, $28 million free agent deal with Baltimore in December, pitched to a 2.53 ERA and was 7-for-7 in save opportunities before hitting the IL.

Mead's 3-run HR, Nuñez's big night lift the Nationals to a 6-4 victory over the Royals
SUMMARY: Curtis Mead hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the bottom of the seventh inning to lift the Washington Nationals to a 6-4 win over the Kansas City Royals. Nasim Nuñez tripled twice and scored three times for the Nationals, who will go for a three-game sweep Wednesday after handing Kansas City its sixth loss in seven games. The Royals are a season-high 16 games under .500. Paxton Schultz got the win in relief, and Gus Varland pitched the ninth — allowing a solo homer by ex-National Lane Thomas — for his sixth save. Daniel Lynch IV took the loss.

Nationals reliever Paxton Schultz awarded first big league win thanks to obscure scoring rule
SUMMARY: Nationals reliever Paxton Schultz has his first career victory thanks to a rarely seen official scorer’s decision. Schultz pitched a scoreless eighth inning Tuesday night in Washington’s 6-4 victory over Kansas City. The Nationals were already up 6-3 when he entered the game, but that didn’t preclude Schultz from receiving the win. Richard Lovelady, the reliever who would normally have gotten the win, was deemed to have had a brief and ineffective appearance. In the top of the seventh, Washington was up 3-1 when Lovelady entered with one out and two on. He retired two of the three men he faced, but the one batter who reached against him was Isaac Collins, whose two-run single tied the game at 3. That was enough to transfer the win to Schultz.

Mariners activate Raleigh and Crawford but put Arozarena on 10-day injured list
SUMMARY: Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list. He was in the lineup and behind the plate Tuesday night as the Mariners returned home for their series opener against the Baltimore Orioles. Raleigh had been out since May 14 with a right oblique strain, the first IL stint of his career. The slugger was runner-up in AL MVP voting last season after hitting 60 home runs. Seattle also activated veteran shortstop J.P. Crawford, who had been on the injured list since June 5 after being hit in the hand by a pitch. He promptly moved to third base with rookie Colt Emerson at shortstop. In another move, outfielder Randy Arozarena was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

SUMMARY: Cal Raleigh hit a two-run single in his return from the injured list, Logan Gilbert struck out a season-high 10 in seven strong innings and the Seattle Mariners beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-1. Julio Rodríguez had an RBI single for the Mariners, who hold a slim lead in the AL West. Gilbert combined with two relievers on a three-hitter. Raleigh, last year’s AL MVP runner-up who had been out since May 14 because of an oblique strain, broke a 1-all tie in the seventh with a bases-loaded single off reliever Grant Wolfram. Eduard Bazardo pitched a perfect eighth and Andrés Muñoz worked a one-hit ninth for his 11th save.

The Super Bowl-starved Jets find some 'positive jealousy' and motivation in NBA champion Knicks
SUMMARY: Breece Hall watched as the New York Knicks celebrated their NBA championship last Saturday night. The New York Jets running back felt thrilled but also expressed "positive jealousy" after the Knicks won their first championship since 1973 by beating the Spurs in five games. The victory has energized New York City, creating a basketball party atmosphere. Jets quarterback Geno Smith noted the city's excitement and said it motivates the team. The Jets have a 15-year playoff drought and haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1969. Hall hopes his team can someday experience similar success.

Neymar returns to action for limited training with Brazil at the World Cup
SUMMARY: Neymar returned to action for the first time since he joined Brazil’s World Cup squad while nursing an injured right leg. Neymar still wasn’t at full speed and did mostly physical conditioning at the team’s training camp outside New York. He had undergone tests on his right calf on Monday to determine the progress of the injury that he sustained while playing with Brazilian club Santos on May 17. The 34-year-old Neymar has yet to join the rest of the squad in full training sessions during the team’s preparations. He is not likely to face Haiti in Brazil's second group game on Friday.

Phillips permitted eight runs on six hits and three walks in four innings.
