OAKLAND, Calif. -- Athletics slugger Khris Davis is back from a stint on the injured list because of a bruised left hip and oblique muscle.

The designated hitter, who led the majors with 48 home runs in 2018, is set to start batting cleanup Saturday night for Oakland in the middle game of a weekend series against the Houston Astros. He went on the injured list May 24, retroactive to May 22, after getting hurt May 5 at Pittsburgh.

Davis tried to play through it for seven games before going on the IL. He is hitting .248 with 12 homers and 29 RBI in 43 games.

The A's optioned outfielder Skye Bolt to Triple-A Las Vegas to clear roster room for Davis' return.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Joey Gallo left the Texas Rangers' game against the Kansas City Royals in the fifth inning Saturday with tightness in his left oblique.

Gallo, who homered earlier in the game, was pulled after visiting with manager Chris Woodward and trainer Matt Lucero while batting with a 3-2 count. He initially felt the injury in the outfield and then again on a check swing during that plate appearance. Gallo will undergo treatment and further evaluation.

Gallo hit his 17th home run of the season, tying him for the American League lead, in the fourth inning.

Gallo left last Tuesday's game at Seattle in the eighth inning with a sore right wrist and sat out Wednesday afternoon's game there on what was a scheduled day off for him.

The Rangers brought up outfielder Zack Granite from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday but he was sent back down the following day after the team was convinced Gallo was healthy.

Gallo went into Saturday's game leading the AL with a 1.048 OPS and an at-bats-to-home run ratio of one homer to every 10.6 at-bats.

U.S. men's national team manager Gregg Berhalter announced his roster for the second phase of the team's pre-Gold Cup training camp, with 19 additional players called in, bringing the total to 28.

The new additions are comprised of players from MLS as well as Schalke midfielder Weston McKennie and Vitoria Guimaraes forward Tyler Boyd. The final 23-player Gold Cup roster will be submitted to CONCACAF on the night of June 5, following the U.S. team's friendly with Jamaica in Washington, D.C., and announced the following morning. The U.S will take on Venezuela in a friendly at Cincinnati's Nippert Stadium on June 9.

"After a great week of training, we now enter the phase of playing competitive matches," Berhalter said. "The game against Jamaica will represent an opportunity for us to evaluate new prospects, as well [as] continue to develop the group for the Gold Cup. We are excited about the group coming in and the opportunity ahead of us this summer."

Conspicuous by their absence from the roster are Chelsea midfielder Christian Pulisic and RB Leipzig midfielder Tyler Adams, but the expectation is that they will join the U.S. team at a later point in the camp.

Also absent is goalkeeper Ethan Horvath, who has sustained a finger injury that will render him unavailable for the Gold Cup.

Nine players that took part in last week's opening phase of the training camp will remain with the U.S. team. These players include midfielder Jonathan Amon, defender Cameron Carter-Vickers, defender Omar Gonzalez, midfielder Joe Gyau, midfielder Duane Holmes, defender Matt Miazga, defender Tim Ream, defender Antonee Robinson and forward Josh Sargent.

San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Jackson Yueill will also take part in the camp, though he isn't on the Gold Cup provisional roster, and thus ineligible to participate in the tournament.

Eleven players from the roster that took part during the first week of camp - which included a mix of senior team and U-23 players - have departed. These players include: goalkeepers JT Marcinkowski, Andrew Thomas and Justin Vom Steeg; defenders Kyle Duncan, Marlon Fossey and Andrew Gutman; midfielders Emerson Hyndman, Keaton Parks and Eryk Williamson; and forwards Luca de la Torre and Haji Wright.

Mauricio Pochettino appeared to rule out the possibility of leaving Tottenham following their Champions League final defeat against Liverpool.

Pochettino has been linked with the vacant Juventus manager's job following Massimiliano Allegri's departure last month.

But, when asked whether he would be in charge to lead Spurs in the Champions League next season, he said: "Always. We have to try, we have to believe. We hope it will happen again as soon as possible."

Pochettino also stressed how happy he was at Tottenham and how keen he is to experience similar occasions in charge of the club.

"I am so happy to manage this group of players," he said. "Congratulations to Liverpool, they have a fantastic set of players and they've had a fantastic season.

"The standard are so high. It wasn't enough today and it's a shame. When you live this experience, you want to be again and you want to repeat. It is the best game in the world after the World Cup [final]. I hope we can repeat in the future."

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson said the Champions League victory would have been "impossible" without manager Jurgen Klopp.

An early Mohamed Salah penalty and a late strike by Divock Origi gave Liverpool a 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in Saturday's all-English final as Klopp finally got his hands on Europe's biggest prize.

"Without this manager this is impossible. You go through tough times in a season, but what he has done since coming in is unbelievable," Henderson told BT Sport after the win.

"There's such a togetherness, he has created a special dressing room -- all the praise goes to the manager.

"I'm so proud to be a part of this football club and to cap it with this is so special to me."

DETROIT – AIM Vasser Sullivan is getting comfortable atop the IMSA WeatherTech Sprint Cup standings.

In Saturday’s 100-minute Chevrolet Sports Car Classic, the No. 14 AIM Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F GT3 of Jack Hawksworth and Richard Heistand crossed the finish line first in the GT Daytona class to score their second consecutive victory in the new-for-2019 championship.

The WeatherTech Sprint Cup – contested solely by GTD teams – encompasses the class’ seven races that are two hours and 40 minutes or less in length.

After Heistand qualified the car in fourth and held steady in the top five, Hawksworth got behind the wheel and closed in on Patrick Long in the No. 73 Park Place Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R. Long, who inherited the lead from substitute teammate and polesitter Zacharie Robichon, gave way as Hawksworth ducked inside the Porsche to steal the lead with 51 minutes remaining.

Although Long was able to keep Hawksworth in his sights, the No. 14 Lexus did not relinquish the lead for the remainder of the race.

“We got a bit of a streak going, don’t we?” said Hawksworth. “It was a good race. We did good job qualifying yesterday and were able to have a good stint and put it in the top five. We had a really good pit stop. To be honest, we knew it would come down to that stop because the GTD class was a lot shorter than normal, in terms that we normally have 40 seconds to fuel between driver change, fuel, and tire change. We knew the driver change would be important, and it went well. We ended up coming out in third and I minded my way.”

While it was a victory celebration for AIM Vasser Sullivan’s No. 14 Lexus, the team’s second entry of Frankie Montecalvo and Townsend Bell in the No. 12 earned a podium finish of its own to stand next to their teammates with a third-place finish. Sandwiched between the two Lexus RC Fs were Long and Robichon for a runner-up finish.

“Fundamentally, racing is about getting the basics right,” said Hawksworth. “This team is what we’re really focusing on. The race pace needs to be good. Pit stops need to be good. We’ve got a really good silver driver in Richard and a great package in pit lane. And when you put that all together, it’s a testament to what the team is doing and that’s how you end up winning races.”

With wins in the first two races of the WeatherTech Sprint Cup – the first being at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course four weeks ago – Hawksworth and Heistand now have opened up a 10-point lead, 70-60, in the standings over Long.

It’s a tie for third place with Montecalvo and Bell, along with the No. 48 Paul Miller Racing Lamborghini Huracán GT3 drivers Bryan Sellers and Ryan Hardwick, with 56 points. Hardwick and Sellers finished fifth on Saturday behind another Lamborghini, the No. 44 for Magnus Racing and drivers Andy Lally and John Potter.

LONG POND, Pa. – Cole Custer dominated Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Pocono Raceway, but it took a pass on the last lap for him to earn a trip to victory lane.

Custer, who started from the pole, drove by Tyler Reddick in the last corner on the last lap after an overtime restart to win the Pocono Green 250. It was Custer’s third victory of the season, a personal best for the California native.

Custer had a comfortable lead of more than eight seconds after the final round of pit stops and looked set to cruise to victory until the caution flag waved with seven laps left when Jeffrey Earnhardt spun in turn two after contact with Austin Cindric.

During the caution period Reddick was one of a handful of drivers to hit pit road. His team had two fresh tires left behind the pit wall and the bolted them on the left side of his Chevrolet and sent him back out on track to restart eighth.

The green flag waved again with three laps left in regulation, but the field didn’t make it through turn one before the caution waved again. This time the caution flag was for a spin by stage two winner Justin Allgaier, who lost control of his car in the middle of the corner.

That set up an overtime restart with Custer leading his teammate Chase Briscoe, Christopher Bell and Reddick, who had advanced four positions during the previous restart. Custer chose the outside for the restart, meaning he would be lined up in front of fourth-place Reddick.

When the green flag waved over the field Reddick gave Custer a big push down the fronstretch, allowing both drives to clear the inside line heading towards turn one. Reddick saw his opening and dove to Custer’s inside entering the turn. Reddick emerged with the lead, but the race wasn’t over.

Custer stayed right in Reddick’s tire tracks as they came to the white flag, with Reddick darting back and fourth across the track in an effort to break the draft. Custer stayed patient and followed him until they got to turn three, at which point Reddick’s car didn’t stay on the bottom and slid up the track.

Custer seized the opportunity, slicing under Reddick to regain the lead and steal the victory in the final corner.

“Tyler gave me a great push down there, but I have no idea how he made it stick when he drove down in there into turn one,” said Custer, who led a race-high 59 laps. “I was nervous once he got by me, but drove into the corner real deal (on the last lap) and went up the track a little bit. I had my downshift planned right and was able to get by him.”

Reddick, who started at the rear because of a transmission change prior to the start of the race, admitted his car simply got loose in the final corner.

“We got a really good restart to get by Cole,” Reddick said. “I was just so tight out front. Even out front in clean air I was just too tight to really hold the bottom that well. I probably could have held the bottom, I’m not going to lie to you. I just thought I was going to be really tight going through three, so I put some rear brake in it and I just got loose in three and pretty much gave it right back to him.”

Briscoe finished third, followed by Ryan Preece and Bell.
