DETROIT — With his right wrist wrapped in black athletic tape, Joc Pederson walked around the Giants’ clubhouse Saturday morning with a member of the training staff.

Pederson joins outfielders Mitch Haniger and Austin Slater and catcher Roberto Pérez on the IL, while Michael Conforto was out of the lineup for a second straight game after tweaking his calf on the base paths Wednesday.“Obviously it’s difficult to not have Haniger, to not have Slater, Joc as well, these are core pieces of all of our lineups,” manager Gabe Kapler said before Saturday’s game. “These are things that ev...

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Fulham ended an alarming run of Premier League defeats by beating Everton 3-1 on Saturday as Marco Silva claimed a first win against his former employers to damage their attempt to avoid relegation.Harrison Reed put the Cottagers ahead midway through the first half but Everton hit back through Dwight McNeil and seemed the likeliest to score again before halftime at Goodison Park.But the momentum swung back toward Fulham when Harry Wilson put the visitors back ahead just after the break. Dan James sealed victory to snap Fulham’s sequence of five successive losses.With Fulham in the ascendancy, Everton’s players became increasingly disjointed and were booed off at the full-time whistle after squandering the chance to put daylight between themselves and the Premier League relegation zone. Everton remains above the bottom three on goal difference alone.This will be especially frustrating for Everton manager Sean Dyche, whose side have a much better ...
