Mandatory Credit: Dennis Lee-Imagn Images The Texas Rangers placed left-handed reliever Robert Garcia on the 15-day injured list on Thursday due to left shoulder inflammation. The move is retroactive to Monday. In other moves, the Rangers selected right-hander Peyton Gray’s contract from Triple-A Round Rock and designated catcher Willie MacIver for assignment. Garcia, 29, has not played since April 16, when he retired the only batter he faced in a 9-6 road win against the Athletics. He is 0-1 with a 3.38 ERA, seven walks and six strikeouts in eight innings over nine games in his second season with Texas. Opposing left-handed batters are 0-for-13 with four strikeouts against Garcia this season. For his career, Garcia is 9-17 with nine saves, a 3.57 ERA, 57 walks and 182 strikeouts in 163 2/3 innings over 177 games, all in relief, for the Miami Marlins (2023), Washington Nationals (2023-24) and Rangers (2025-26). Gray, 30, is 1-0 at Round Rock with two saves, a 0.00 ERA, two walks and 15 strikeouts in 12 2/3 innings over seven relief appearances. Opponents are batting .186 (8-for-43) against him. If he makes his major league debut, Gray will be the oldest player to do so with Texas since left-hander Hyeon-jong Yang at age 33 on April 26, 2021, per the Rangers. MacIver, 29, batted .186 (19-for-102) in 32 games last season with the Athletics. The Rangers selected him off waivers from the Athletics on Nov. 5, 2025. He was batting .170 (8-for-47) in 14 games with Round Rock this season. The move was made to create room on the club’s major league roster. The team has seven days to trade, release or outright MacIver to the minor leagues. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Rangers #place #LHP #Robert #Garcia #shoulder #15day #injured #list

Jim Furyk, a 17-time ‌winner on the PGA Tour, was named on Friday as the U.S. team captain ​for the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor in Limerick, Ireland after Tiger ⁠Woods declined the role following his arrest on a driving under the influence charge.

Furyk, who was the losing Ryder Cup captain at Paris in 2018, succeeds Keegan Bradley in the role after the latter found himself in ‌the crosshairs last September at Long Island’s Bethpage Black after a series of questionable lineup decisions.

The 55-year-old Furyk joins Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson and Davis Love III as the ‌only U.S. Ryder Cup captains to receive a second term in the era of European ‌continental ⁠inclusion.

“The opportunity to captain the U.S. Ryder Cup Team for a second time is ⁠a tremendous honor,” Furyk said in a PGA of America press release. “I am committed to putting our players in the best position to succeed as we work to reclaim the Cup on European soil.”

‘Incorporating some new ideas’

Furyk also said he ​will draw on his experience in the ‌biennial competition while “incorporating some new ideas” as he faces the daunting task of trying to win a Ryder Cup on the road, something the U.S. has not done since a 15-13 triumph in 1993 at The Belfry.

At the 2018 Ryder Cup, Furyk became the sixth consecutive American leader ‌to preside over a losing team in Europe.

After the blowout seven-point loss, Furyk faced ​tough questions about what he could have done differently, including whether it was negligent that half his team arrived at quirky Le Golf National without having stepped ⁠foot on the course.

Furyk also served as the winning U.S. captain at the 2024 Presidents Cup in Montreal where his squad secured a 10th consecutive triumph over a line-up of international players from outside Europe.

Since ‌making his Ryder Cup debut as a player in 1997, Furyk has represented the U.S. in 14 consecutive editions of the Ryder Cup, serving as a player, vice captain and captain.

“He is a trusted, widely-respected leader and possesses a wealth of Ryder Cup experience that can only serve to strengthen our team,” said PGA of America Vice President Nathan Charnes.

“Competing in Ryder Cups hosted in Europe presents unique challenges and we are confident in Jim’s leadership to guide the U.S. Team over the ‌next two years as we prepare for Ireland.”

Woods turned down captaincy to seek treatment

Woods had been the favourite to assume ​the Ryder Cup captain’s position but the PGA of America announced in early April that he declined to take the role as he stepped away to seek treatment ⁠and focus on his health after his arrest on a driving under the influence charge stemming from ⁠a rollover crash in Florida.

The 15-time Major champion, regarded as the greatest golfer of his generation, has been a long-time presence in team events, including serving as a player-captain at ‌the 2019 Presidents Cup.

Luke Donald was named European captain for a third consecutive Ryder Cup in March as he aims to become the first captain to guide a team to three ​straight victories next year.

The 2027 Ryder Cup will be held September 17-19.

Jim Furyk, a 17-time ‌winner on the PGA Tour, was named on Friday as the U.S. team captain ​for the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor in Limerick, Ireland after Tiger ⁠Woods declined the role following his arrest on a driving under the influence charge.

Furyk, who was the losing Ryder Cup captain at Paris in 2018, succeeds Keegan Bradley in the role after the latter found himself in ‌the crosshairs last September at Long Island’s Bethpage Black after a series of questionable lineup decisions.

The 55-year-old Furyk joins Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson and Davis Love III as the ‌only U.S. Ryder Cup captains to receive a second term in the era of European ‌continental ⁠inclusion.

“The opportunity to captain the U.S. Ryder Cup Team for a second time is ⁠a tremendous honor,” Furyk said in a PGA of America press release. “I am committed to putting our players in the best position to succeed as we work to reclaim the Cup on European soil.”

‘Incorporating some new ideas’

Furyk also said he ​will draw on his experience in the ‌biennial competition while “incorporating some new ideas” as he faces the daunting task of trying to win a Ryder Cup on the road, something the U.S. has not done since a 15-13 triumph in 1993 at The Belfry.

At the 2018 Ryder Cup, Furyk became the sixth consecutive American leader ‌to preside over a losing team in Europe.

After the blowout seven-point loss, Furyk faced ​tough questions about what he could have done differently, including whether it was negligent that half his team arrived at quirky Le Golf National without having stepped ⁠foot on the course.

Furyk also served as the winning U.S. captain at the 2024 Presidents Cup in Montreal where his squad secured a 10th consecutive triumph over a line-up of international players from outside Europe.

Since ‌making his Ryder Cup debut as a player in 1997, Furyk has represented the U.S. in 14 consecutive editions of the Ryder Cup, serving as a player, vice captain and captain.

“He is a trusted, widely-respected leader and possesses a wealth of Ryder Cup experience that can only serve to strengthen our team,” said PGA of America Vice President Nathan Charnes.

“Competing in Ryder Cups hosted in Europe presents unique challenges and we are confident in Jim’s leadership to guide the U.S. Team over the ‌next two years as we prepare for Ireland.”

Woods turned down captaincy to seek treatment

Woods had been the favourite to assume ​the Ryder Cup captain’s position but the PGA of America announced in early April that he declined to take the role as he stepped away to seek treatment ⁠and focus on his health after his arrest on a driving under the influence charge stemming from ⁠a rollover crash in Florida.

The 15-time Major champion, regarded as the greatest golfer of his generation, has been a long-time presence in team events, including serving as a player-captain at ‌the 2019 Presidents Cup.

Luke Donald was named European captain for a third consecutive Ryder Cup in March as he aims to become the first captain to guide a team to three ​straight victories next year.

The 2027 Ryder Cup will be held September 17-19.

The deal will reportedly increase DeBoer’s earnings to .5 million over the next seven seasons.

DeBoer is 20-8 in two seasons with the Crimson Tide after taking over for legendary Nick Saban, who retired after the 2023 season. “We are excited about the opportunity to continue our time in Tuscaloosa with this contract extension,” DeBoer said in a news release. “This University has become a special place to us, and I look forward to working to ensure that Alabama football remains at the forefront of college football. “This program has a long history of success and an unmatched tradition that I was eager to be a part of two years ago, and I cannot wait to keep coaching our guys and bring more championships to Alabama.” DeBoer’s contract reportedly includes a million buyout through January that drops to million for the following 12 months before dipping again to million. Alabama went 9-4 in DeBoer’s first season in 2024 and missed the College Football Playoff. It went 11-4 last season, defeating Oklahoma in the first round of the CFP before being annihilated 38-3 by eventual champion Indiana. “We are pleased to extend Coach DeBoer and are proud to have him leading the Crimson Tide football program,” Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne said in the news release. “He is an excellent coach and has done a commendable job developing our student-athletes.” DeBoer, 51, is 57-17 over the last six seasons, including going 12-6 at Fresno State from 2020-21 and 25-3 at Washington in 2022-23.
