Baseball-Major League Baseball roundup

Sept 9 (The Sports Xchange) - New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter reinjured his surgically repaired left ankle and was not in the lineup against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. On Monday, ESPN reported the Yankees do not know if their captain will be able to return this season. With the regular season ending in three weeks, manager Joe Girardi would not guarantee that the 39-year-old Jeter would return. Jeter has played in only 17 games this season and is batting .190. - - An inflamed left hip will keep Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper out of Monday's and Tuesday's games against the New York Mets, MLB.com reported. While taking batting practice on Saturday, Harper crumpled to the ground in obvious pain, multiple outlets reported. - - Seattle ace Felix Hernandez will miss his next start on Wednesday because of back stiffness, MLB.com reported. Rookie Brandon Maurer will make the start against the Houston Astros instead. Maurer has been pitching in long relief for a good portion of the season. He did start 10 games earlier in the year and has compiled a 4-7 mark with a 6.85 ERA. - - Former Los Angeles Dodgers CEO Jamie McCourt's attempt to have her $131 million divorce settlement thrown out was rejected by a California judge on Monday. Jamie McCourt didn't present enough credible evidence to prove that her ex-husband misled her about the team's value, according to multiple reports. She argued that Frank McCourt knew the true value of the team and that the divorce settlement should have been worth another $770 million. (Editing by Frank Pingue)
