Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews will not play in Game 5 of the team's first-round playoff series against the Bruins on Tuesday night in Boston.

Toronto trails in the best-of-seven series, 3-1.

Matthews has dealt with a lingering illness for more than a week, and the symptoms have been exacerbated during games. Coach Sheldon Keefe declined to comment earlier Tuesday if Matthews is battling an undisclosed injury in addition to the sickness.

Keefe said it would be the Leafs' team doctors making the final call on whether Matthews would dress.

"He's working through things to try to make himself available to play. No determination at this time," Keefe said Tuesday morning. "We'll see how the rest of the day goes."

Matthews did skate Tuesday prior to the team's optional morning skate at TD Garden. He spent about 10 minutes going through some light drill work with assistant coaches and departed before the full session got underway.

It was the first time Matthews had been on the ice since being pulled by team doctors before the third period of Game 4 on Saturday.

Matthews played through his sickness in Game 3, a 4-2 Leafs loss, and stayed in through the first 40 minutes of Toronto's 3-1 defeat in Game 4. The Leafs' top center had his best outing in Game 2, tallying all three points he's earned this series, including the game-winning goal.

With Matthews not able to play, Max Domi moves up to Matthews' top line spot and William Nylander goes to the team's second line. Domi also will take Matthews' spot on the Leafs' sputtering power play, which is 1-for-11 in the playoffs.

Toronto is eyeing a change in net as well for Game 5, going from Ilya Samsonov to Joseph Woll. Samsonov had started all four games against Boston but was replaced by Woll for the third period of Game 4 after Samsonov allowed three goals on 16 shots. Woll made five saves in relief.

The 25-year-old had a solid regular season primarily backing up for Samsonov, collecting a 12-11-1 record with a .907 save percentage and a 2.94 goals-against average. Woll got his first taste of NHL postseason hockey last year when Samsonov was injured in the second round of the playoffs against Florida and Woll took over the crease, posting a .915 SV% and a 2.43 GAA.

"For a young guy he's pretty steady," Leafs forward Ryan Reaves said of Woll. "I think he's excited to get in there and do his thing. We're a confident bunch when he's in the net."

Keefe stressed after Monday's practice the importance of Toronto improving on special teams and goaltending if it was to stay alive for Game 6. Boston has halted its goalie rotation and stuck with Jeremy Swayman for three of the four games, and he's been excellent (3-0-0, .956 SV%, 1.34 GAA). The Bruins' power play has also given the Leafs' fits at 6-for-13 in the series.

Boston planned to go with Swayman again for Game 5.

Vinícius Júnior said Toni Kroos "makes things easy" after the veteran midfielder provided the pass for the first of the Brazilian's two goals in Real Madrid's 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

Vinicius opened the scoring in the 24th minute, converting Kroos' pinpoint throughball, before goals from Leroy Sané and Harry Kane put Bayern ahead. Vinicius then converted a late penalty to leave the Champions League semifinal all square ahead of the second leg in Madrid next week.

The Brazil international has now scored five goals in eight Champions League appearances this season, but, speaking after the game, highlighted the contribution of Kroos, 34, instead.

"Toni always makes things easy," Vinicius told Movistar. "He gifted me a goal. We practice a lot together in training. I know Toni very well, and he knows me. I'm very happy to have scored two goals. Now we need a magic night at home."

Kroos, who is returning to the Germany team ahead of this summer's Euro in his home country, downplayed the connection that resulted in Madrid's opening goal with their only shot in the first half.

"Vini allowed me to make the pass with his movement," Kroos told reporters. "He opened up the gap. The pass wasn't so special.

"What a pass! Incredible," teammate Rodrygo said. "Age doesn't matter. [Kroos] has always got that skill, that class that I love to see."

With Madrid behind and under pressure, Rodrygo won the penalty in the 83rd minute, forcing a clumsy challenge from Kim Min-Jae as he worked his way through the area, giving Vinicius the chance to equalise.

"This is the Champions League, it will always be like that," Rodrygo said. "In the moments when people think you're dead, that's when you can be dangerous."

"It's a good result," coach Carlo Ancelotti said. "We could have done better. Our best moment was at the start of the second half, and that's when they scored twice. They showed their best version today, and we didn't. But we have time to show it next Wednesday."

Ancelotti said he'd substituted Jude Bellingham, who had a quiet night, in the 75th minute because he was suffering from cramp.

"He'll get back to his best level," Ancelotti said. "He had an injury, which has affected him a lot. Today he wasn't at his best but he'll be back soon, he'll be 100% for Wednesday."

Madrid play Cadiz in LaLiga on Saturday -- and could clinch the league title if results go their way -- before hosting Bayern at the Santiago Bernabeu on May 8.

New York Knicks forward Bojan Bogdanovic will miss the rest of the season because of left foot surgery, the team announced.

Bogdanovic, who turned 35 last week, had already been dealing with a wrist issue before he injured his foot almost immediately after checking in to Sunday's Game 4 win over the Philadelphia 76ers for the first time at the start of the second quarter. Bogdanovic got tied up with 76ers forward Nicolas Batum while both were chasing a loose ball, and Bogdanovic immediately went to the ground in a lot of pain.

He slowly limped off the court and was ruled out a short time later.

Bogdanovic was acquired from the Detroit Pistons at the trade deadline, alongside Alec Burks, to bolster New York's depth for the stretch run, and he has played a reserve role for the Knicks throughout the first four games of this series.

That included a critical pair of 3-pointers in the fourth quarter of New York's Game 1 victory at Madison Square Garden.

Bogdanovic has a $19 million salary for next season that has $2 million guaranteed. It becomes fully guaranteed if he's still on the roster on June 28.

New York is already missing All-Star forward Julius Randle for the rest of the season because of shoulder surgery, while Mitchell Robinson remains questionable for Tuesday night's Game 5 because of an ankle injury.

The Knicks would advance to the second round in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2000 with a win Tuesday, and would advance with a win at Madison Square Garden for the first time since 1999.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is expected to miss a minimum of several games with a right soleus strain suffered in Game 4, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Tuesday.

The Celtics said the star big man will be out for Wednesday's Game 5 in Boston because of the injury but did not offer a timetable beyond that.

The soleus (calf) strain is the same injury that has kept Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo out this postseason.

Porzingis suffered the injury in the first half of Monday's Game 4 win in Miami. He appeared to tweak something after catching a pass from Jaylen Brown late in the second quarter. Upon getting the ball, he started driving toward his left, then grimaced before quickly giving the ball back to Brown and coming up lame in the middle of the play.

Porzingis didn't appear to be touched by anyone on the play in which he was hurt. Following the game, he slowly walked out of the visiting locker room area wearing a gray walking boot on his right foot.

He was set to undergo imaging Tuesday.

Acquired last offseason, Porzingis averaged 20.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists during the regular season, helping Boston to a league-best 64-18 record and the No. 1 seed in the playoffs.

The Celtics are up 3-1 in the best-of-seven series and can close out the Heat at TD Garden on Wednesday.

MIAMI -- Colorado Rockies highly-rated outfielder Jordan Beck was brought up from the minor leagues to make his major league debut against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night.

Colorado selected the contract of the 23-year-old from Triple-A Albuquerque, where he was hitting .307 with a .999 OPS through 25 games. Colorado picked Beck 38th overall in the 2022 amateur draft from Tennessee, and he is the Rockies' No. 4 prospect.

"Just take the moment in, take a deep breath, look around and be where my feet are," Beck said of his first day with the Rockies. "A lot of people say write it down, what it feels like, don't forget it. There are a lot of things that you want to remember from this day and carry on into the future."

The 23-year-old Beck was in the lineup to bat eighth and play left field. He was assigned No. 27, worn by star shortstop Trevor Story from 2016-21.

"I love the debut because it's hope for the future," Rockies manager Bud Black said. "He's a good player and I hope it's a memorable one."

Outfielder Nolan Jones was placed on the 10-day injured list because of a low back strain.

HOUSTON -- The Houston Astros will option slumping first baseman Jose Abreu to their spring training facility to try to get the 2020 American League MVP back on track.

General manager Dana Brown made the announcement Tuesday, saying that they'd make the move Wednesday. The 37-year-old will report to the Astros complex in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Brown said the decision was made after a meeting that included himself, Abreu, coaches and front-office personnel.

Abreu, in the second season of a $58.5 million, three-year contract, is hitting .099 with just one extra-base hit and three RBIs. In 77 plate appearances across 22 games this season, Abreu has seven hits.

"You know what's been the hardest thing for me? And I say this from the bottom of my heart -- I feel embarrassed," Abreu said in Spanish during last weekend's series vs. the Colorado Rockies in Mexico. "The people in this organization brought me here to do a good job. I haven't done that. The hard thing, too, is that my teammates see that I haven't done my job, although they've always supported me, always been by my side. But I won't stay down."

Brown said Abreu was very receptive during their conversation and had a good attitude about the move.

"Jose Abreu is an outstanding human being," Brown said. "He is unselfish and he's a teammate's guy and he wants to get himself back to what he was doing last fall. And so, in the midst of this conversation, you could see that this guy is passionate and determined to get back to helping his team.

"And so he unselfishly was on board with an agreement with going back to West Palm Beach and getting some extra bats, getting some detailed instruction on what we could do to get him back."

The Astros selected the contract of Joey Loperfido from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, and he will likely play some first base, but Brown indicated that he'd mostly be used in the outfield. The 24-year-old was set to make his major league debut Tuesday night against the Guardians in left field, leaving Jon Singleton to fill in for Abreu at first base. Singleton entered Tuesday hitting .238 with 10 hits and no RBIs.

Abreu was the 2014 AL Rookie of the Year and is a three-time All-Star and a three-time Silver Slugger award winner. He in his 11th big league season.

"He got to the point where he was frustrated," Brown said. "It's rare to do it. But I think it tells us about his dedication and commitment and I don't think he sees this as a long term and I don't think we see it as a long term thing. I think it's more like ... let's go down, let's make some adjustments. Let's get the rhythm and timing back. And I think in his eyes, he's looking at it as I'll be back in a couple of weeks or whatever it takes to get better."

Abreu hit .237 with 18 home runs and 90 RBIs last season in his first year in Houston after nine seasons with the White Sox. He had four homers and 13 RBIs in 11 postseason games.

"The bat speed is still pretty good," Brown said. "So, we've got to get his timing right and we've got to get his rhythm right, so that he can consistently do it. And so I still feel very optimistic about it."

DETROIT -- Detroit Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty tied an American League record with seven straight strikeouts to open a game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday and finished with a career-high 14 in 6 innings.

The Cardinals rallied after Flaherty's exit, scoring twice in the ninth inning for a 2-1 victory.

Flaherty matched the record shared by Joe Cowley (1986 White Sox), Carlos Rodon (2016 White Sox), Blake Snell (2018 Rays) and Luis Castillo (2022 Mariners).

Miami Marlins right-hander Pablo Lopez set the major league record by striking out the first nine batters of a game in 2021.

Flaherty, facing one of his former teams, struck out the side over the first two innings and had one more strikeout to start the third inning with a mix of four-seam fastballs and knuckle-curveballs that kept the Cardinals flailing at pitches.

Masyn Winn hit a groundout with one out in the third to end the strikeout streak, but Flaherty struck out the side in the fourth to raise his total to 12.

Flaherty, 28, matched the most strikeouts in the majors this season and the most for the Tigers since Max Scherzer had 14 against Pittsburgh in an eight-inning outing on Aug. 14, 2014. Flaherty gave up two hits and a walk in 6 innings, exiting with Detroit leading 1-0.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow had 14 strikeouts over seven innings at Minnesota on April 9.

Detroit signed Flaherty to a $14 million, one-year contract, a deal that gives him a chance to earn an additional $1 million in bonuses.

He was fifth in NL Rookie of the Year voting in 2018 in St. Louis and finished fourth in Cy Young Award voting the following year with an 11-8 record and a 2.75 ERA for the Cardinals.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Angels superstar Mike Trout, hoping for a fully healthy season after being significantly limited by injury the past three years, needs knee surgery, general manager Perry Minasian said Tuesday.

Trout has a torn meniscus in his left knee, Minasian said.

The procedure, which is believed to be scheduled for Friday, isn't considered to be season ending. At this point, it is not known how long Trout will be out.

Trout played the entire game Monday, a come-from-behind, 6-5 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, and even stole a base.

However, he began to experience soreness around the third inning, and an MRI on Tuesday morning revealed the tear.

British doubles player Tara Moore has made her return to the sport after a two-year absence for a doping ban which was later overturned.

Moore teamed up with compatriot Annali Olivelle to win an ITF World Tour first-round match on the Italian island of Sardinia.

They beat the Italian pair of Melania Delai and Francesca Pace 10-6 in a deciding tie-break in Santa Margherita di Pula.

"If someone told me two years ago Id be playing tennis again I would have never believed it," Moore posted on X.

"It wasnt pretty and it wasnt my favourite surface but it still means more than anything."

Moore and Olivelle will share just $196 (156) for reaching the quarter-finals.

The 31-year-old was provisionally banned in May 2022 after testing positive for nandrolone metabolites and Boldenone while competing in the Colombian capital Bogota the previous month.

The ban was lifted last December when an independent panel ruled contaminated meat was the source of her failed test.

The tribunal found Moore "bore no fault or negligence" for her adverse analytical finding, but that ruling is being challenged by the International Tennis Integrity Agency.

The appeal will take place at the Court of Arbitration for Sport but a date is yet to be set.

Moore was Britain's leading women's doubles player, reaching a career-high ranking of 77th in the world before she was provisionally banned.

She is currently unranked, but set up a fundraising page earlier in the year to help fund her training and expenses - including "food, travel and ongoing legal fees".

Top seed Iga Swiatek fought back from a set down against Beatriz Haddad Maia to book her place in the Madrid Open semi-finals.

After sweeping past Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo in just 68 minutes on Monday, Swiatek needed two hours 30 minutes to wrap up a 4-6 6-0 6-2 win against the Brazilian.

It was the first time the world number one dropped a set in the tournament.

Swiatek will face Tunisian eighth seed Ons Jabeur or American 18th seed Madison Keys, who play later on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old Pole, bidding for her third title of 2024, broke first and raced to a 4-1 lead, but Haddad Maia eventually found her rhythm and reeled off five consecutive games to take the opening set.

However, the 11th seed won just 12 points in the second set as Swiatek claimed a 6-0 bagel.

After exchanging breaks early in the decider, Swiatek broke for a 3-1 lead before striking again at 5-2 to reach her fifth semi-final of 2024.
