Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera was arrested on a charge of simple assault following a domestic incident in Atlantic City on Monday night.

Herrera has been placed on administrative leave by Major League Baseball per the league's domestic violence policy, sources confirmed to ESPN amid multiple reports. He'll be inactive for up to seven days while MLB investigates the alleged incident.

The Atlantic City Police Department said in a statement posted on Facebook that officers responded to the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino at 8:33 p.m. ET on Monday after a report of domestic violence was made. Officers found Herrera's 20-year-old girlfriend with "visible signs of injury to her arms and neck that was sustained after being assaulted by her boyfriend."

The woman refused medical attention and Herrera was located in his hotel room and arrested without incident and released.

The 27-year-old Herrera, who is the Phillies' starting center fielder, is hitting .222 with a home run and 16 RBIs this season.

World number nine Elina Svitolina, who has won 13 singles titles on the WTA Tour, will be writing columns for the BBC Sport website during the French Open, which runs from 26 May to 9 June.

The Ukrainian, seeded ninth, is hoping for a successful run in Paris, having become known as one of the WTA's leading players on clay, twice reaching the quarter-finals at Roland Garros.

The 24-year-old, who was at a career-high ranking of three last year, has struggled with a knee injury in recent months, but earned her first win of the clay-court season by beating seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams 6-4 6-4 in the opening round.

Beating Venus Williams in straight sets was a good sign that I'm mentally strong enough to overcome the challenges I've been facing this year.

Playing one of the all-time greats in the first round after losing my past four matches was mentally very tough and my main emotion after winning was happiness.

But after my injury troubles, and not winning a match in Madrid or Rome, I was also relieved to get the victory.

On the one hand, it can be good to have a tough opponent like Venus at the beginning of the draw because it puts you straight into 'tournament mode'.

But on the other hand it is also a little draining. Your mind has to be sharper than perhaps it usually has to be in the opening round.

Against such a great champion, I had to step up my game, be focused from the very beginning and take my chances.

As I said before the tournament, I don't have any expectations about how far I can go at Roland Garros, so now I just want to be ready for the second round and compete well.

I'm happy I haven't lost my confidence with that run of losses - when things aren't going well it has to be part of your personality and mindset as a tennis player that you don't lose confidence.

But I was pleased to have two days off before I play in the second round on Wednesday. Now I have time to recover mentally.

'The small details matter when fighting injury'

As well as resting mentally, the two days off will be important for my knee's recovery. I didn't feel any pain on Sunday but we try to take one day at a time.

The small details really matter, especially with injury when you are playing such a big event - with this level of pressure, you can snap any time.

We will do recovery and treatments - we have a machine that has the same effect on an injury as an ice bath or cryotherapy but that uses oxygen. It looks like a spray but is actually oxygen with ice effect.

So you 'spray' this to the place it hurts and the body reacts like it is a burn. So the blood starts to move quickly and the recovery speeds up.

This type of stuff, along with lots of massage and exercises to strengthen the muscles around the knee, is very important for recovery.

I will watch my boyfriend Gael Monfils' match on Tuesday, of course - then I will be ready and fresh for Wednesday.

'Important to share your off-court life with fans'

As well as our Instagram account, Gael and I had plans for a behind-the-scenes documentary.

I think it's important to share your lives with fans, and there aren't many documentaries made about life off the court. I think it will help aspiring tennis players growing up to see what they will have to deal with in the future.

People see what's going on when you're playing a match but don't see what's going on behind the scenes, not only in the good moments but also the tough ones.

Anyway, we did a little bit of filming but then had to stop because there were issues about access at some tournaments. The prices for filming were super high - we would have spent almost all our prize money on it!

So we've stopped filming for a while and we will see how it goes - maybe we'll keep the footage and try to start the documentary again in the future.

Playing childhood friend at a Slam is 'amazing'

On Wednesday I will play Kateryna Kozlova, another Ukrainian, in the second round.

I've known Kateryna since we were about eight. She was born in a city close to my own, and is only seven months older than me, so we grew up playing against each other in junior tournaments.

We were very good friends and just having fun - that's all it was about at that age. We didn't really talk too much about the future.

We have played each other many, many times but never on the WTA Tour so it's amazing we're now here in a Grand Slam facing each other.

But although we are still friends, and talk a little bit from time to time, I have my team around me and she has her team so it is very tough to connect all the time.

It is very rare to maintain strong friendships on tour like normal girls. I mean, I speak with all the girls and we're very friendly, but is tough to keep the same relationship with friends as you had before because you are all so busy travelling and competing.

But it is great to be playing an old friend - and it is great for Ukrainian tennis to know there will definitely be someone from Ukraine in the third round!

Elina Svitolina was speaking to BBC Sport's Jonathan Jurejko at Roland Garros.

James Gaskell has signed a contract extension with Premiership team Wasps.

The 29-year-old lock, who has represented England Saxons and played international youth rugby, is heading into his sixth season with the club.

He made 20 appearances in the 2018-19 campaign and has played a total of 108 times for Wasps.

Speaking about his contract extension, the 6ft 7in second row said: "I'm really enjoying my time here and it's been a fantastic five years."

Wasps have not disclosed the length of his new deal.

Director of rugby Dai Young said: "Jammer is a fantastic bloke and he's always someone you can rely on.

"What's extremely important for us is building some continuity and stability within the squad and with 13 guys having signed new deals in the last six months, we've got a core group of players who are now set to be here for the next couple of seasons or so."

Ulster's Player of the Year Stuart McCloskey and team-mate Will Addison have not been named in Ireland's 44-man training squad for the Rugby World Cup.

Connacht lock Quinn Roux also misses out, although head coach Joe Schmidt has not ruled out further additions to the squad.

There are call-ups for uncapped Munster pair Jean Kleyn and Mike Haley while Leinster's Dave Kearney returns.

Flankers Sean O'Brien and Dan Leavy have been ruled out through injury.

Ireland will play four warm-up matches between 10 August and 7 September before travelling to Japan, where they will face Scotland in their Pool A opener on 22 September.

Utility back Addison, who joined Ulster from Sale last summer, has not featured since January after undergoing a back operation.

The 26-year-old made an impressive start to his Ulster career before making his Ireland debut against Italy in November.

"Some players have missed out through injury and there are one or two guys that may be added into the squad at a later stage," said Schmidt on Tuesday.

"There were some very close calls in selection and it's always a challenging process because the coaching group are very conscious of how hard the players work."

Addison's Ulster teammate McCloskey misses out despite enjoying an impressive campaign which earned him a place in the Pro14 dream team.

The centre, 26, has found his international opportunities limited since debuting against England in 2016 largely due to the ferocious competition for places in Ireland's midfield.

South Africa-born lock Kleyn is eligible for selection through the three-year residency rule having joined Munster in 2016.

His provincial teammate Haley has impressed since arriving at Thomond Park from Sale last summer and will hope to make his Irish debut in the team's summer fixtures, which begin at home to Italy.

Uncapped Glasgow Warriors duo Scott Cummings and Kyle Steyn have been added to Scotland's World Cup training squad by head coach Gregor Townsend.

Townsend initially named 42 players and said Toulouse lock Richie Gray could still claim one of two vacant spots.

But Cummings has been preferred after a strong finish to the term, culminating in a Pro14 final appearance.

Steyn has shone for Glasgow at centre, but Townsend said he is being primarily considered as a winger.

"Kyle has made an excellent impact since his debut for Glasgow earlier this season and has displayed strong defensive capabilities as well as a providing go-forward when carrying ball," Townsend said.

"We have others in our squad that we view more as centre/wings but I'm sure over the course of the summer Kyle will get the opportunity to show what he can do in both positions.

"Scott's selection is a testament to how well he has performed throughout the season and in particular over the past few weeks."

Scotland will play home and away summer Tests against Georgia and France before the autumn World Cup in Japan.

There the Scots will face the hosts as well as Ireland, Russia and Samoa.
