Hours after placing All-Star outfielder Mike Trout on the 10-day injured list with a broken left wrist, the Los Angeles Angels saw their run of bad injury luck continue in their game Tuesday against the San Diego Padres. Third baseman Anthony Rendon was removed from the Angels’ 8-5 loss in the fourth inning after fouling a ball off his leg. The team said he had a left shin contusion, and the X-rays were negative. Then, two-way star Shohei Ohtani (SHOW-hay / on-TAH-nee) departed with a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand.

NFL

Former Arizona Cardinals head coach Vince Tobin, who helped the franchise end a 50-plus-year playoff victory drought, died Monday. He was 79. The cause of death was not immediately known.

NBA

The NBA will be testing out a proposed in-game penalty for flopping during summer league. A flop, which referees at the game will determine, will be penalized by awarding the opposing team one free throw and possession of the ball. Officials will give the player who commits the flop an unsportsmanlike technical foul, which won’t count toward personal fouls or lead to an ejection. Officials won’t be required to stop live play from calling a flopping violation.
