LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) â Texas Tech junior guard Kyler Edwards has decided to transfer, new head coach Mark Adams said Saturday.
Edwards had initially put his name in the transfer portal at the end of the season to explore his options.
Adams, the Red Raiders top assistant the past five seasons who Monday was promoted to be Chris Beard s successor, said Edwards had since contacted him to say he was leaving Texas Tech after playing 98 games the past three seasons.
Sophomore guard Terrence Shannon Jr., the team s second-leading scorer this season at 12.9 points a game, declared for the NBA draft Thursday. Shannon didn t hire an agent, leaving open the possibility for him to return to the Red Raiders.
Only one player really took advantage of the soggy turn in the weather Saturday.
While Japan s Hideki Matsuyama surged to a four-stroke lead in the third round of the Masters, a bunch of other expected challengers got stuck in neutral or fell by the wayside.
Justin Rose, who led after each of the first two days, had to scramble mightily just to manage his second straight 72. Jordan Spieth couldn t do any better, countering brilliant saves with sloppy mistakes to wind up with an even-par round as well. Perennial contender Tony Finau barely got any TV time with a middling 73.
Then there was Justin Thomas, who totally fell apart with a triple-bogey 8 at the 13th that sent him tumbling to a 75. Just three shots back at the start of play Saturday, he ll go to the final round a whopping 10 shots behind Matsuyama.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — San Diego Padres left-hander Adrian Morejon left a start Sunday at Texas with an elbow-forearm strain after facing only three batters in the first inning.
This game at the Blue Jays spring training site never started and was called after a two-hour wait.
While the Angels plan to have Sunday s scheduled starter, Alex Cobb, start on Monday night at Kansas City, Toronto is getting a major addition to its rotation with the return of Robbie Ray.
Ray, out with an elbow contusion, will take the mound against the New York Yankees in the first of three series between the AL East contenders. He s looked great in the pens and everything, Toronto manager Charlie Montoyo said. He s ready to go.
Tanner Roark, who had been scheduled to pitch Sunday, was moved to the bullpen.
