DENVER (AP) — Colorado pitcher Ryan Feltner has a skull fracture and concussion after getting hit by a line drive off the bat of Philadelphia’s Nick Castellanos.Feltner was injured Saturday night and was likely to be discharged from Swedish Medical Center later Sunday. He will not need surgery.“Overall, he’s fine,” Colorado manager Bud Black said before Sunday’s game. “I think the feeling is that it could have been worse.”Feltner was put on the 15-day injured list.

BERLIN (AP) — Christopher Nkunku starred as Leipzig took a big step toward Champions League qualification by rallying very late to beat Werder Bremen 2-1 in the Bundesliga on Sunday.The French forward set up both goals — Willi Orban with the equalizer in the 87th minute, then Dominik Szoboszlai with the winner in the sixth minute of injury time – for Leipzig to reclaim third place from Union Berlin and move four points clear of fifth-place Freiburg.Two rounds remain and the top four qualify for the Champions League.Bremen had been hoping to secure its league survival with a win and it looked good for the visitors for much of the game.Leipzig was aggrieved to have Nkunku’s goal in the 66th ruled out through VAR for a push in the back from Mohamed Simakan on Leonardo Bittencourt in the buildup. TV replays showed contact, and Bittencourt tried playing the ball after he fell.Bittencourt further riled the Leipzig fans when he scored four minutes later with a fine finish to Jens Stage’s c...
