Williams returns to mound after aneurysm repair with Padres
Padres pitcher Woody Williams starts against the Colorado Rockies in his first game since May 4 surgery to repair a right armpit aneurysm. He aims to win and pitch at least seven innings after two minor-league rehab starts, feeling normal and ready, while Padres cope with a battered rotation and poor standing in the NL West.

Sweeney rises as Royals star with fan fame and focus
Kansas City first baseman Mike Sweeney, once a minor leaguer, now ranks high in the AL with a .352 average and 74 RBIs. He carries a fan mailbox in his locker and keeps a trainerlike routine, signing autographs between pregame drills while staying focused on improvement. He recalls his 1991 draft and 1995 breakout in Wilmington, discusses his move from catcher to first base, and notes his growing role in KC’s long-term plans alongside Damon and Beltran. He is a budding All-Star and a Kansas basketball fan who foreshadows a lasting Royals era.
