The Braves made the announcement L贸pez was unable to pitch 35 minutes before the game. The right-hander was injured during his warm-up routine.

鈥淚 don’t know how serious it is, but when you get scratched from the start, that’s pretty much always going to be an IL,鈥� Weiss said after over the Nationals.

L贸pez (3-1, 3.79 ERA) is coming off a strong start in Baltimore on July 26, when he threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings in a game the Braves eventually won in 11 innings. L贸pez started the season in the rotation, was moved to the bullpen and made 13 appearances, and returned to the rotation on June 26, where he has made six starts.

Mart铆n P茅rez was scheduled to pitch for the Braves on Sunday, but he stepped up when L贸pez went down and allowed just one hit and no runs in seven innings.

The Braves have won the first three games of the four-game series against the Nationals.

Trump added that the emerging deal 鈥渨ould include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran鈥檚 nuclear threat.鈥�

鈥淏ased on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL,鈥� Trump said.

He added that Israel has agreed to join the U.S. in the commitment to try to complete the agreement with Iran that would bring about an end to the war.

Earlier Saturday, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom鈥檚 de facto leader, in a phone call with Trump raised concerns about the U.S. potentially escalating the conflict with Iran, according to a person familiar with the leaders鈥� discussion.

The discussion, which was first reported on by the news outlet Axios, came as Trump weighed whether to carry out new strikes on Iran.

The Saudis, according to the person briefed on the substance of the call but not authorized to comment publicly, are concerned that if the U.S. targets Iran鈥檚 energy infrastructure or carries out massive strikes on other key infrastructure that Tehran could respond by carrying out attacks on the kingdom鈥檚 and other Gulf countries鈥� energy infrastructure.

The crown prince during Saturday鈥檚 call sought clarity from Trump on what potential new action he鈥檚 weighing to take against Iran, the person said.

A White House official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and requested anonymity, confirmed the leaders spoke on Saturday but did not offer any detail about the substance of their conversation.

Saudi Arabia earlier this week joined the U.S. in striking multiple logistics and weapons sites used by Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, but has been urging the U.S. and Iran to get back to the negotiating table to find an endgame to the five-month old conflict.

The crown prince also dispatched his brother, Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman, to Washington on Wednesday for separate meetings with Trump and Vice President JD Vance to discuss Iran strategy.

And Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday at the White House, their since launching the war in February. The Israeli leader has urged Trump to continue to prosecute the war against Iran.

The stakes for continued U.S. military action are high for Trump and his party as the conflict, , has jolted the world economy just months before critical midterm elections in November.

The president has vowed to take retaliatory action after the U.S. military thwarted a surprise attack earlier this week by Iran on a U.S. base in Jordan.

Trump had told reporters on Friday that 鈥渨e just want to win鈥� in Iran and said the U.S. will hit Iran 鈥渧ery hard鈥� until they can鈥檛 take it anymore. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt expressed frustration that Tehran had last month signed a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. on a truce but then quickly 鈥渂roke it, shot at commercial ships, and killed American soldiers.鈥�

On Saturday, the U.S. State Department issued new security alerts for Americans in 10 countries in the region to exercise heightened caution due to the escalating tensions with Iran.

The warnings 鈥� covering Bahrain, Israel, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates 鈥� urged U.S. citizens to prepare for the possibility of flight cancellations, temporary airspace closures and other travel disruptions.

The Old Trails Fire started around noon, burning brush and grass in an open area, but quickly spread north and east toward residential areas. Cars lined the roads as people fled their homes, and orange and red flames were visible from the highway.

The blaze sent a plume of smoke billowing over the region, and as of the evening almost 4 square miles (10 square kilometers) of terrain had been burned, said Courtney James, spokesperson for the Washington State Department of Natural Resources.

The cause was under investigation.

鈥淲e urge residents of Spokane to heed evacuation orders and to stay alert to changing conditions and evacuations as they are rapidly changing,鈥� James said.

Some structures were lost but officials did not yet have a solid count, said Jessica Watson, a DNR spokesperson for the fire. Firefighters had zero containment as of the evening and the wind continued to blow, she said.

Power company Avista said it implemented public safety shutoffs in the area due to elevated fire risk.

Gov. Bob Ferguson declared a state of emergency Saturday after unusually high temperatures and high winds exacerbated record wildfires across the state. The National Weather Service issued a for eastern Washington.

New York (7-7-4) has posted a 4-0-2 mark in the last six meetings across all competitions against Orlando, including a 2-1 victory in the opening match of the season.

Orlando (6-10-2) has not defeated New York since a season sweep in 2023.

Jim茅nez, a 19-year-old who was added on a short-term call up from Red Bull New York II, opened the scoring in the 23rd and put New York ahead 3-1 in the 60th.

Jim茅nez became the second player in Red Bulls history to score a brace in his first career MLS start, joining Cornell Glen on May 8, 2004.

Tyrese Spicer and Griffin Dorsey both scored a second-half goal for Orlando.

Liam Hicks had a pair of RBI singles for the Marlins, who entered Saturday 1 1/2 games behind the Philadelphia Phillies for the final National League playoff spot. Otto Lopez lofted a sacrifice fly and scored twice.

Esteury Ruiz and Heriberto Hern谩ndez each stole a base for the Marlins, who are second in the majors with 122 thefts. Miami has swiped at least two bases in a game 35 times this season.

Tyler Phillips (3-5), who grew up about 100 miles south of Citi Field in Pennsauken, New York, allowed two runs and struck out three in five-plus innings.

Lake Bachar, Miami鈥檚 third pitcher, notched his second save by throwing three scoreless innings.

Tyrone Taylor remained hot for the Mets by hitting a two-run homer off Phillips in the second. Taylor, an impending free agent who is a candidate to be traded by the last-place Mets before Monday鈥檚 trade deadline, is batting .341 (14 for 41) with seven homers and 14 RBIs in 19 games since July 4.

Shortstop Francisco Lindor was 2-for-4 and is batting .311 (19 for 61) since July 12.

S谩nchez kept the Orioles off the scoreboard despite five walks. Twice, he retired Baltimore’s Leody Taveras with the bases loaded to end an inning.

S谩nchez (14-4) allowed just two hits after yielding 35 in 21 1/3 innings in July.

Shane Baz (4-10) gave up a run and six hits in 6 1/3 innings. He was pulled after a 15-pitch battle with Bryson Stott that ended with an infield single.

The Phillies blew a two-run lead in the seventh Friday night and entered the middle game of this series with only a one-game lead for the final wild card in the National League. The bullpen held on this time, and the offense added four runs in the eighth.

With left-handed sluggers Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper due up, the Orioles brought in lefty Grant Wolfram to start the inning, but he walked both those hitters with one out. Then Andrew Kittredge came on and immediately threw a wild pitch, forcing Baltimore to bring the infield in.

Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh hit consecutive RBI singles, and after a walk and a forceout, Justin Crawford hit a bases-loaded single to score two more runs.

By the time the top of the eighth ended with a strikeout, it had gone on so long everyone seemed to forget how many outs there were. Several seconds elapsed before the Baltimore fielders headed back to the dugout.

S谩nchez walked three in the fourth before striking out Taveras. Two walks and a single loaded the bases in the sixth before Taveras grounded out.

The Phillies opened the scoring in the fifth on an RBI single by Bryan De La Cruz.

The Orioles, who entered the day 1 1/2 games behind the final wild card in the American League, honored slugger Chris Davis, pitcher Storm Davis and scout Jim Russo as new members of the team’s Hall of Fame before the game.

Crow-Armstrong scored the game鈥檚 first run in the first inning by walking and advancing on a pair of wild pitches by Max Fried.

Michael Busch made it 5-2 in the eighth with an RBI single off Yovanny Cruz.

Cubs reliever Trent Thornton (4-4) pitched 2/3 of an inning for the win. Caleb Thielbar allowed one hit in the ninth but for his third save.

With the wind blowing in from center field at 21 mph, Spencer Jones homered and scored both of the Yankees’ runs and Ali Sanchez had three of New York’s eight hits.

Jones, on base thanks to Michael Busch’s error, scored from second on Jose Caballero’s single in the fifth.

In the seventh, Jones lined David Peterson’s fastball to left, Jones鈥� fifth home run of the season and Peterson鈥檚 97th and final pitch of the night. Peterson allowed two runs, one earned, in 6 1/3 innings, allowing five hits and striking out eight.

Fried allowed two hits and one run in 5 1/3 innings, striking out seven and walking one. Fried has allowed one run or fewer in six of his 13 starts.

It鈥檚 the fifth straight victory for the Astros and their 10th in 11 games that has propelled them to a 1 1/2-game lead over the Rangers atop the division.

Wyatt Langford and Elias D铆az hit solo homers for the Rangers, who dropped their fourth in a row.

The Rangers trailed by 2 with one out in the sixth when D铆az鈥檚 homer to right field to cut the lead to 5-4.

But Houston鈥檚 bullpen shut Texas down the rest of the way. Closer Josh Hader struck out one in a scoreless ninth to improve to 15-for-15 on save opportunities.

The game was tied when the Astros loaded the bases with one out in the fourth. Walker鈥檚 RBI single on a grounder to first that a diving Joc Pederson deflected made it 4-3.

That ended Jacob deGrom鈥檚 night and Cole Winn took over. Houston pushed the lead to 5-3 when Yordan Alvarez scored on a wild pitch by Winn.

Alvarez, who has an MLB-leading 35 homers, doubled and scored twice on a night he was intentionally walked two times.

Texas loaded the bases with two outs in the fifth but Bennett Souza struck out Ezequiel Duran to escape the jam.

The Astros took an early lead when Jose Altuve scored on a two-out single in the second inning by LaMonte Wade Jr.

The Rangers tied it on Langford鈥檚 homer to left field with two outs in the third.

The bases were loaded with two outs in the bottom of the inning when Trammell singled on a grounder to left field to score two and put Houston up 3-1.

Austin Riley was 2 for 4 with 2 RBIs and Mike Yastrzemski had two hits and scored a run for the Braves, who are 8-2 at home since the All-Star break.

Acu帽a and Olson hit back-to-back homers in the first inning to give the Braves a lead they would not relinquish. Smith added a 403-foot home run to lead off the fourth. Smith’s home run came after he kept his at-bat alive by successfully challenging what would have been strike three.

Trailing 8-0, the Nats scored three runs in the eighth on an RBI double by Dylan Crews and a two-run single by CJ Abrams.

Miles Mikolas (3-8) took the loss after allowing five runs in six innings. He gave up nine hits, including the three home runs.
