The New York Mets placed outfielder Starling Marte on the injured list Tuesday with a bruise to his right knee, while outfielder Jesse Winker was activated from the 60-day IL.

The Mets also selected the contract of right-hander Alejandro Carrillo from Triple-A Syracuse, while right-hander Zach Pop was designated for assignment and right-hander Tylor Megill (elbow) was moved to the 60-day IL.

The club sent left-hander Sean Manaea back to Triple-A Syracuse for an outing Tuesday to continue his minor league rehab assignment as he closes in on his season debut while recovering from an elbow injury. Manaea could be back in the major leagues by Sunday.

In addition, right-hander Kodai Senga (hamstring) appears to be in line to return from the IL on Friday.

Marte, 36, is batting .270 with four home runs and 20 RBIs in 58 games this season.

Winker, 31, last played on May 4 and was batting .239 with one home run and 10 RBIs in 24 games.

Carrillo, 28, did not allow a hit or a run in four appearances (5 2/3 innings) at Syracuse. The side-arm pitcher tops 100 mph with his fastball and mixes in a sinker and changeup, with 40 strikeouts in 25 total innings at Double-A and Triple-A this season.

Pop, 28, made his lone appearance for New York on Sunday and allowed three runs in 1 1/3 innings. He is 0-1 with a 14.85 ERA in five appearances for the Seattle Mariners and Mets this season.

Megill, 29, was 5-5 with a 3.95 ERA in 14 starts this season and has not pitched since June 14.

Army to allow alcohol sales at football games

WEST POINT, N.Y. — Army will begin selling alcoholic beverages at football games at Michie Stadium beginning with its game Friday against Tarleton State, athletic director Tom Theodorakis announced Wednesday.

Army was the last service academy to not sell alcohol at football games. Air Force began sales in 2017 and Navy in 2021.

“The opportunity to purchase alcohol has become common practice at college athletic venues across the country, and we’re pleased to introduce it here at West Point as part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the gameday experience,” Theodorakis said, adding that Army is committed to ensuring a safe and family-friendly environment for fans.

Fans will be able to purchase beer and ready-to-drink cocktails with a limit of two drinks per transaction. A portion of the revenue from alcohol sales will help support Army’s other 29 sports.

Harvard-Yale rivalry to return to Fenway in 2026

BOSTON — Harvard and Yale will play The Game at Fenway Park next season, the second time the rivalry has moved to the historic home of the Boston Red Sox.

The Nov. 21, 2026, game will be the 142nd meeting between the Ivy League schools — the third most-played rivalry in college football. Yale leads the series 71-61-8, including the last three years.

Harvard won the 2018 game 45-27 at Fenway, the first time The Game was played off campus since an 1894 meeting that was so violent the Harvard faculty voted to disband the football program.

Fenway has hosted football since its opening year in 1912, and it served as the home of the AFL’s Boston Patriots from 1963-68. More recently, the ballpark has hosted some Boston College and high school football games and the Fenway Bowl.

Fenway also has hosted concerts, Shakespeare in the Park, big air skiing, Irish hurling and pickleball.

Sources: Tide DL Keenan (ankle) out for opener

Alabama will be without team captain and starting defensive tackle Tim Keenan III for Saturday’s opener against Florida State after he suffered a high ankle sprain Tuesday in practice, sources told ESPN.

Keenan was scheduled to undergo a tightrope surgical procedure Wednesday and is expected to miss multiple games, but sources said Alabama expects him back at some point this season. The Crimson Tide face UL Monroe in Week 2, Wisconsin in Week 3 and then have a bye week before traveling to Georgia for the SEC opener on Sept. 27.

Coach Kalen DeBoer said earlier Wednesday on the SEC coaches teleconference that Keenan was still being evaluated after suffering a lower-body injury and would “probably not” be full go for the game.

Keenan, a fifth-year senior, is one of the anchors of an Alabama defensive line that should be one of the strengths of the team. He’s a two-year starter and one of the strongest leaders on the team. Redshirt freshman Jeremiah Beaman and true freshman London Simmons are next in line to step in for Keenan, who was second on the team a year ago with 7.5 tackles for loss.

Offensive lineman Jaeden Roberts‘ status for Saturday’s opener remains uncertain, according to DeBoer. The fifth-year senior, who has started 21 games over the past two seasons, has been “very limited” in recent practices as he works his way through the NCAA concussion protocol.

The Crimson Tide were already going to be without starting running back Jam Miller, who dislocated his collarbone in a scrimmage and will miss multiple games. DeBoer told ESPN last week he expected Miller to be back for the Georgia game.

On3.com was the first to report the news of Keenan’s surgery and the expectation he would miss multiple games.
