Cleveland Guardians rookie Chase DeLauter has left the game after fouling a ball off his back foot. The pitch came from Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the first inning. A trainer checked on DeLauter at the plate. He took a few practice swings and stayed in to finish the at-bat. DeLauter then tried to run out a grounder to third base. He got thrown out and hobbled toward the tunnel. The team says DeLauter has a left foot contusion and X-rays were negative. The Guardians replaced him with CJ Kayfus in right field in the bottom half of the inning. DeLauter was named the American League rookie of the week after hitting four home runs in his first three games.

The 27-year-old right-hander threw 90 pitches, striking out four and walking two. He was coming off a terrific performance in the Angels’ 3-0 win at Houston on opening day. Los Angeles snapped a three-game skid.

Tiger Woods says he’ll step away and seek treatment after his SUV crash in Florida. Woods made his comments Tuesday, four days after the crash that led to his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence. Woods pleaded not guilty on Tuesday in his driving under the influence case. The plea came hours after a sheriff’s report said he had pain pills in his pocket and showed signs of impairment at the crash scene last week. I’s the second time Woods has taken a leave following a car crash. In 2009, he announced a leave after his SUV plowed into a fire hydrant and tree outside his home near Orlando.
