Brewers left-hander Kyle Harrison leaves game with blister on his finger

PHOENIX (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Kyle Harrison left his Cactus League start Wednesday due to a blister on his left index finger.

Harrison departed after allowing four runs — one earned — over 2 2/3 innings against the Los Angeles Angels. The 24-year-old has been competing for a spot in Milwaukee’s starting rotation since coming over from the Boston Red Sox in a February trade.

The Brewers acquired Harrison along with left-handed pitcher Shane Drohan and infielder David Hamilton from Boston in a deal that sent third baseman Caleb Durbin, infielders Andruw Monasterio and Anthony Seigler as well as a competitive balance pick to the Red Sox.

Harrison went 1-1 with a 4.04 ERA in 11 combined appearances with the Red Sox and San Francisco Giants last season. The Red Sox got Harrison in the trade that sent Rafael Devers to San Francisco.

The arrival of AJ Dybantsa gives Wizards hope

For the first time in almost a half-century, the Washington Wizards could be closer to contending for an NBA title with the arrival of AJ Dybantsa. The team drafted the 6-foot-9 forward with the first pick of the 2026 NBA draft after finishing as one of the worst teams in the league in the past three years. They got the No. 1 overall pick after winning the draft lottery in May for the first time since 2010 -- when they drafted John Wall. The Wizards hope, with the arrival of Dybantsa, that they can start winning games and competing for the playoffs with a chance to win their first championship since 1978. In the past three seasons, they finished with a combined record of 50-196. “We’re definitely getting a difference maker on the basketball court. There’s no doubt about that,” Wizards general manager Will Dawkins said. “What I would want our fans to know night one is that he is a worker. He is a passionate person who loves basketball and will continue to work and get better.”
