Gregorius injures wrist; three teams eliminated

Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius has torn cartilage in his right wrist and is unsure whether he will be able to play in the AL wild-card game Oct. 3.

Gregorius, who has 27 homers and 86 RBIs, got injured Saturday when he slid headfirst on Aaron Hicks’ 11th-inning double to score the run that clinched a postseason berth for New York, which disclosed the injury after a 6-3 loss to Baltimore on Sunday in New York.

New York remained 11/2 games ahead of Oakland for the top AL wild card.

Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks, Pirates and Phillies were all eliminated from NL postseason contention.

ROCKIES 2, DIAMONDBACKS 0 >> Kyle Freeland (16-7) allowed seven hits in seven innings in Phoenix, improving to 7-0 in his last 10 starts. Arizona lost for the seventh time in eight games and was eliminated from contention in the NL West and wild-card races. The Diamondbacks led the division entering the final month but are 5-16 in September.

BREWERS 13, PIRATES 6 >> Christian Yelich hit his 32nd home run and Travis Shaw added his 31st as Milwaukee won in Pittsburgh and remained two games ahead of St. Louis, which is second in the NL wild-card race. Yelich finished 2 for 3, including a three-run homer in the second off Nick Kingham (5-7), to boost his batting average to an NL-leading .322.

BRAVES 2, PHILLIES 1 >> Lane Adams homered and drove in two runs, and Anibal Sanchez (7-6) won for the first time in nine starts for host Atlanta. ASTROS 6, ANGELS 2 >> In Houston, Charlie Morton left after one inning and 24 pitches because of discomfort in his pitching shoulder that caused a drop in velocity. The 34-yearold right-hander did not pitch for the Astros from Aug. 28 until Sept. 8 because of right shoulder discomfort.
