Appeals court rejects Biden's bid to block release of recordings of ghostwriter interviews
SUMMARY: Joe Biden disagrees with an appeals court's rejection of his effort to block the release of audio recordings of his interviews with a memoir ghostwriter. Biden spokesperson T.J. Ducklo said Tuesday the Democrat's pre-presidency conversations “for a book a decade ago that discussed his late son” were private and were given to the Justice Department on the condition they stay that way. A divided three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found there’s a substantial public interest in disclosing the material congressional Republicans demanded. The panel has suspended its decision until Aug. 3 to give Biden time to consider another appeal.

Orioles place All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman on 10-day IL, call up Chadwick Tromp from Triple-A
SUMMARY: The Baltimore Orioles placed All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman on the 10-day injured list with left wrist inflammation on Monday before their series opener against the Boston Red Sox. It’s the third time on the IL this season for the 28-year-old Rutschman. He missed time in April with left ankle inflammation and was out in mid-June with a concussion. To take his spot on the roster, the club promoted catcher Chadwick Tromp from Triple-A Norfolk. The Orioles' other catcher, Sameul Basallo, is day to day with right shoulder discomfort.

Topps to release a trading card of the photo of a young Messi holding infant Lamine Yamal
SUMMARY: Topps is creating a trading card of what became a famous photo during the World Cup of Argentina's Lionel Messi holding Spain's Lamine Yamal. Many consider Messi soccer’s greatest player. He was photographed holding Yamal, then an infant and now a 19-year-old rising star. The two met in Sunday’s final. Yamal and Spain defeated Messi and Argentina 1-0. That game was a potential changing of the guard with the 39-year-old Messi perhaps playing in his final World Cup.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. homers twice and drives in 5 as Yankees sink Pirates 8-5 after benches clear
SUMMARY: Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered in consecutive at-bats against All-Star Braxton Ashcraft and drove in five runs, powering the New York Yankees to an 8-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Both benches and bullpens emptied after José Caballero bounced into an inning-ending double play against Pirates reliever Dennis Santana in the eighth. Santana became heated and started yelling at Caballero on the field. The right-hander was restrained by teammates before order was restored after a few minutes without any punches or ejections. On a night when New York squandered an early four-run cushion, Chisholm’s 10th career multihomer game and first since Sept. 2 last year helped the Yankees win for the third time in their last 12 home games.

Brewers remaining careful with Jacob Misiorowski as he returns from layoff
SUMMARY: Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy says the Brewers want to monitor Jacob Misiorowski’s workload coming out of the All-Star break. The first example of that came Monday night. Misiorowski worked just four innings in an 8-3 victory over the New York Mets that marked his first appearance since pitching seven innings in a July 7 victory at St. Louis. The Brewers scratched Misiorowski from a scheduled July 12 start in Pittsburgh due to arm fatigue. He didn’t pitch in the All-Star Game last week despite getting selected to the team for a second straight year.
