KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Hunter Renfroe's left big toe is not fractured, the Kansas City Royals said Wednesday, two days after the team initially announced it was broken by a foul ball.

Kansas City said Renfroe is expected to miss two to three weeks, down from six to eight weeks.

Renfroe was hurt Monday when he fouled off a pair of pitches against left-hander Carlos Rodón in the third inning. The outfielder got off to a slow start this season but had raised his batting average to .200 with six homers and 26 RBIs.

The most boring and ponderous team to watch but you have to be in it to win it and Southgate’s side are still there somehow. Being fun to watch is great but playing badly and winning is not a terrible habit to have in knockout football. Might be wishful thinking but surely they have to play better at some point. Then they might still be dangerous.

Cristiano Ronaldo cries only for himself – his preening for Portugal is inexcusable
“Inexplicable moments,” declared Cristiano Ronaldo, as portentously as you would expect from a man who earns £2.5 million for each Instagram message sent to his 633 million followers. It was perhaps the politest way he could have described his own performance during Portugal’s victory over Slovenia. A more fitting label, as you watched him designate every free-kick for himself and throw his arms about in disgust as Petar Stojanovic had the temerity to dispossess him, was “inexcusable”.
