Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson has been activated from the injured list after missing over a month with a foot injury.

The Braves announced the roster move before Monday afternoon's game against the Rockies in Colorado. Atlanta optioned outfielder Adam Duvall to Triple-A Gwinnett to create a roster spot for Swanson.

Swanson had been on the 10-day IL since July 24 because of a bruised right foot, which he recently referred to as a "frustrating injury."

But after playing three games this past weekend at Class-A Rome, Swanson rejoined the Braves in time for Monday's game. The surging Braves have won eight in a row after sweeping the Mets in New York on Sunday.

Swanson, 25, is batting .265 with a career-high 17 home runs and 57 RBIs this season, his fourth with the Braves.

PORT COLBORNE, Ontario — For the second straight season, Mat Williamson was celebrating in victory lane as Pete Cosco Haulage Ltd presents the fifth annual Pete Cosco Memorial night at the New Humberstone Speedway.

Tyler Willard and Mike Bowman shared the front row for the 5th annual Pete Cosco Memorial 75 for the Modifieds with Bowman taking the lead. Mat Williamson would take over second off an early race restart and would go after Bowman for the lead. Williamson would take the lead away on lap 12 and would check out on the field. Chad Brachmann would move into third and would challenge Bowman for second. Two-time sportsman divisional champion Gary Lindberg would race inside the top five as was Matt Farnham.

Farnham moved into third on lap 48, as Bowman and Williamson would pull away. Gary Lindberg’s run in th top five would end, setting up a green/white/checkered finish. Williamson would go on to score his second straight Pete Cosco Memorial. Bowman, Farnham, Todd Gordon, and Chad Brachmann would complete the top five.

Cody McPherson brought home the victory in the $2,000 event for the Race of Champions 602 Dirt Sportsman Modified Series presented by Product 9. McPherson’s name would be etched on the Pete Cosco perpetual trophy.

Rob Pietz won his second Pro Fabrication RUSH Late Model feature of the season. Billy Bleich Jr. won his fourth JC Auto Thunderstock feature of the season. Jeremy Cooper won his first Glo & Go Tanning Mini Stock feature of the season. Mitch Dumont won his fourth Airhardt Deliveries Pro 4 Trucks feature of the season.

WATERTOWN, S.D. — Terry Phillips capped off a big week of USMTS racing on Sunday with a hard-earned $4,000 victory in the Sandy Benson Memorial at the Casino Speedway.

Phillips may very well be the hottest driver on dirt right now. If not for a last-lap pass by Jake O’Neil one night earlier, Phillips would be riding a three-race wins streak into Labor Day Weekend.

O’Neil gave it his all in his attempt to ruin Phillips’ party again Sunday, but this time Phillips was too strong and led O’Neil and Rodney Sanders to the checkered flag after 40 rowdy laps around the quarter-mile bullring on the shores of Lake Kampeska.

During this four-night stretch, leading a USMTS main event has been treacherous, and it proved to be the case again Sunday when Ryan Gustin smacked a lapped car while leading on lap 20.

Phillips nearly collided with the two tangled racecars but was able to avoid damage. He set the pace when the field went back to green while Gustin limped back to his pit area and out of the contest.

Despite tight racing between lapped traffic and O’Neil threatening around the top side of the track, the 53-year-old racer from Springfield, Mo., maintained his composure and went on to claim his fifth win of the 2019 season-four of which have come in the month of August.

“Just trying to be careful-lapped cars and stuff, leading again-don’t know if I’m a sitting duck or what,” a smiling Phillips said. “This is why we do this thing. These victories with a lot of good race fans out there… that’s why we do it.

“I’ll tell you what, I might be twice as old as all these guys but I feel like 25 when I’m in this thing.

O’Neil, Sanders, Hunter Marriott and Dereck Ramirez took home the rest of the first five spots.

The finish:

Terry Phillips, Jake O’Neil, Rodney Sanders, Hunter Marriott, Dereck Ramirez, Adam Kates, Jon Tesch, Jayson Good, David McDonald, Brent Dutenhoffer, Nick Wranek, Alex Guthmiller, Jimmy Ray, Travis Saurer, Trevor Anderson, Chad Olsen, Duke Erickson, Morgan Ward, Daniel Hilsabeck, Luke Lick, Dylan Zabel, Ryan Gustin, Tyler Peterson, Kent Arment.

YORK HAVEN, Pa. — Gerard McIntyre led all 30 laps to win Sunday night’s Salute to the Troops main event as the Ollie’s Bargain Outlet All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 sprint cars wrapped up a four-race weekend at BAPS Motor Speedway.

The $5,000 victory, a second-ever during All Star competition for the pilot of the Northeast Foundation and Concrete/Water Treatment By Design/No. 07 sprint car, did not come without a challenge, forced with withstand nearly 20 laps of constant pressure from six-time series champion and all-time series win leader Dale Blaney.

On an even bigger note for All Star enthusiasts, the BAPS Motor Speedway triumph bumped the weekend score to 4-1 in favor of Tony Stewart’s All Star Circuit of Champions; Grandview Speedway, the first Williams Grove Speedway ‘Jack Gunn Memorial’ feature, Lincoln Speedway, and BAPS Motor Speedway all accomplished by full-time All Stars.

“The guys did a great job tonight. I just did what I needed to do to get this thing to victory lane,” said McIntrye. “A big thanks to all of those guys for running me clean. I could hear Dale (Blaney) on the outside of me a couple of times. I tried to change my line up a few times so those guys didn’t know where I was going. It all worked out and I’m glad to be here.”

A red-flag incident involving polesitter Justin Peck on the opening circuit, followed by multiple rule infractions resulting in the disqualification of Danny Dietrich, Anthony Macri, Lance Dewease, Ryan Smith and Skylar Gee, allowed McIntyre the opportunity to restart on the front row.

The opportunity played into McIntyre’s favor, jumping to an early lead with Cory Eliason, Dale Blaney, Aaron Reutzel and Tony Stewart in tow.

With G-Mac in command, it was Blaney who was making the early moves. The Hartford, Ohio, native slipped into second by lap five, next setting aim on the familiar No. 07 of McIntyre.

Lap after lap, Blaney attempted to drive by McIntyre, only to be denied at the exit of each corner. A trio of cautions, including a second red flag incident for series point leader Aaron Reutzel on lap 19 halted the feature pace and although Blaney restarted well, McIntyre survived and continued to lead the way.

In an attempt to execute a perfect last-ditch effort, Blaney chased McIntyre beyond the flag stand and drove into turn one as hard as he could, nearly pulling even as the pair reached the apex of the corner.

A drag race down the backstretch ensued, followed by McIntrye diving into turn three and Blaney returning to the topside. Despite the bold attempt, Blaney did not have enough, losing by a margin of victory equaling .0183 seconds.

“Gerard ran a really great race,” said Blaney, who regained the point lead. “The guys gave me a great car. A second the last two nights in Central PA isn’t bad. I would have liked to get one of these out here though.”

Freddie Rahmer, who won the evening’s B-main, blasted ahead 16 positions to secure a third-place finish at the final checkers, followed by Brock Zearfoss and Paul McMahan.

The finish:

Feature (30 Laps): 1. O7-Gerard McIntyre [4]; 2. 11-Dale Blaney [6]; 3. 51-Freddie Rahmer [19]; 4. 70-Brock Zearfoss [10]; 5. 13-Paul McMahan [14]; 6. 99M-Kyle Moody [15]; 7. 26-Cory Eliason [2]; 8.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Germain Racing has confirmed that Matt Borland, the crew chief of the No. 13 Chevrolet driven by Ty Dillon in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, has been suspended indefinitely by NASCAR.

The team said in a statement that Borland was found to have violated NASCAR’s substance abuse policy following a random drug test. The statement indicated that the positive drug test was believed to have been caused by a coffee product Borland has been using.

“Matt Borland has informed me that he was notified by NASCAR that a random urinalysis showed a substance, DMAA (2-amino-5-methylhexanamine) that is impermissible under the NASCAR substance abuse policy,” said team owner Bob Germain Jr. “We reviewed the ingredients label on a coffee product that Matt had been drinking and it includes DMHA (2-amino-5-methylheptane), a derivative of DMAA. Based upon the ingredients label we do not believe that Matt had reason to know that the coffee contained a banned substance. However, we also understand and respect NASCAR’s decisions to strictly uphold their policies for each and every owner, driver and crew member in the garage. As an organization, we stand behind Matt. He has been and remains an integral part of our race team and we look forward to his return to the garage and pit box.”

Justin Alexander will serve as interim crew chief of the No. 13 Camaro until Borland is cleared by NASCAR to return. Borland must complete NASCAR’s Road to Recovery program in order to be cleared.

“This past weekend I was informed by a NASCAR doctor that I had DMAA (2-amino-5-methylhexanamine) in my system,” Borland said. “After the surprise of this and not even knowing what that was, I asked if it could have come from a diet coffee I have been drinking for the past six months. I gave the doctor all of the details of the coffee and ingredients, and after he researched it, he said he thought that this was the cause. Even after doing my due-diligence, I felt comfortable in drinking the coffee. I plan to work with NASCAR to figure out what exactly has happened and resolve this issue as quickly as we can. I will cooperate with them and do whatever is requested of me to make this situation right. I have worked in the NASCAR garage for 20 years now, and have never been a part of anything like this in my life. I take full responsibility for this incident and want to get it taken care of completely.

“I would like to sincerely apologize to my team, sponsors, associates, NASCAR and my family and I look forward to resolving this situation in an efficient manner.”

Carlos Vela scored a goal in the 53rd minute and LAFC was able to salvage a 3-3 tie against the visiting LA Galaxy on Sunday night -- although the club remains winless in two seasons against its crosstown rival.

The latest chapter of the 17-month-old El Trafico derby was played in another atmosphere of unusual passion and excitement in frequently laid-back Los Angeles. Although LAFC only came into existence last season, the teams have created an instant rivalry with their spirited supporters' groups, premier individual talents and an immediate knack for playing thrilling games.

MLS' two biggest stars love this stage: Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored eight goals in just five games against LAFC, topping Vela's seven goals against the Galaxy.

"If they don't beat us, they don't beat us," said Ibrahimovic after the game, who celebrated both of his goals in front of the LAFC supporters' section. "What can I say? I enjoy it when I play against them. I enjoy to play in this stadium."

Their supporting casts also get fired up by the rivalry. Latif Blessing had extra motivation after his friends told him about the billboards put up around Banc of California Stadium this week showing Ibrahimovic knocking him down during his club's last meeting with the LA Galaxy.

"I was mad," Blessing said. "It was so disrespectful. I felt sad. I felt like this game, I need to go all-out. I need to do my best."

Cristian Pavon scored his first MLS goal to put the Galaxy up 3-1 after just 16 minutes, but Blessing scored two first-half goals for LAFC before Vela connected for his MLS-leading 27th goal. Vela was unwillingly taken off shortly after his goal with a possible hamstring injury, but neither team could conjure a winning goal in the fifth edition of El Trafico.

The Galaxy are 2-0-3 against MLS-leading LAFC, including a win and a draw this season.

"You lead 3-1, I think we should hold the results, but then we were doing mistakes that killed ourselves," Ibrahimovic said. "It wasn't them. I mean, they punished us, but when they play their game, and we do mistakes, they punish us. At a higher level, the one that does the most mistakes is going to pay the most."

LAFC (19-3-5) is cruising toward MLS' best regular-season record and the top seed in the playoffs. LAFC had won five straight games since its 3-2 loss last month to the Galaxy (13-11-3), who are fourth in the Western Conference after their first three-game unbeaten run since April.

Although the regular-season series is over, these archrivals easily could meet in a playoff game in October, adding even more spice to an already sizzling rivalry.

Ibrahimovic still craves the big stages on which he played for nearly two decades in Europe, and this rivalry already has the closest thing to it in MLS. Unsurprisingly, Ibrahimovic has thrived on it since his Galaxy debut in March 2018, when he came on as a substitute and scored two electrifying goals during a three-goal comeback victory in these clubs' inaugural meeting.

Ibrahimovic had a hat trick against LAFC last month, overcoming two goals by Vela in a 3-2 Galaxy victory.

And Ibrahimovic needed about 100 seconds to get on the board against LAFC this time. After he scored with a left-footed strike on a sublime pass from Pavon, the Swedish superstar celebrated with his arms outstretched defiantly in front of LAFC's vociferous North End supporters. Blessing evened it with a rebound header 10 minutes later, but Ibrahimovic added his 22nd goal in 22 games and blew kisses to the LAFC fans.

Pavon made it 3-1 less than a minute afterward with the rising Argentine star's first goal for his new club, but LAFC rallied. Blessing slipped in to score again shortly before half-time, and Vela tied it with a superb piece of skill in the 53rd minute.

Vela's 27 goals are as many as FC Cincinnati's entire roster has scored this season, but the LAFC captain apparently strained his hamstring moments before coach Bob Bradley pulled him in the 61st minute. Vela threw his captain's armband on the ground in disappointment after he was replaced by Brian Rodríguez, a 19-year-old Uruguayan prospect making his MLS debut.

Both teams played more cautiously in the final minutes. Ibrahimovic nearly got another hat trick in injury time, but his wicked turnaround shot from outside the box went just outside the post.

Manchester United will wait to discover the extent of Anthony Martial's muscle injury before deciding whether to allow Alexis Sanchez to join Inter Milan, sources have told ESPN FC.

Martial is set for scans this week after suffering an injury to his left thigh during the 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The Frenchman was barely able to move during the final few minutes but stayed on the pitch until the end because manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had no more substitutions available.

Martial was limping heavily as he left the stadium and the 23-year-old, who has scored twice this season, will undergo tests this week as the club's medical staff attempt to assess the damage.

It is a blow to Sanchez's hopes of joining Inter before the European transfer deadline on Sep. 2.

The Italian side are trying to negotiate a loan deal for the Chilean with an obligation to buy next summer which would see United pay a portion of his £391,000-a-week wages this season.

Sources have told ESPN FC that the two clubs are yet to find a breakthrough in talks and the injury to Martial has complicated matters further with Solskjaer becoming concerned at a lack of options up front.

Romelu Lukaku has already departed for Inter leaving the Norwegian with three recognised strikers in Martial, Marcus Rashford and 17-year-old Mason Greenwood.

Sanchez is yet to feature this season as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury but his exit would reduce Solskjaer's options even further ahead of a busy season in the Premier League and the Europa League.

Sanchez has managed just five goals in 45 games since arriving from Arsenal in January 2018.

Marcos Rojo could also leave Old Trafford before the European deadline. He is yet to make the match day squad in United's first three games of the season and sources have told ESPN FC that Marseille, Monaco and AC Milan are interested in signing the defender.
