NEW YORK (AP) — Two New York Yankees fans who were ejected from Game 4 of the World Series for interfering with Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts have been banned from Game 5 on Wednesday night.

Betts leaped at the retaining wall in foul territory and caught Gleyber Torres’ pop fly in the first inning Tuesday night, but a fan in the first row with a gray Yankees road jersey grabbed Betts’ glove with both hands and pulled the ball out.

Another fan grabbed Betts’ bare hand. The Yankees announced the Game 5 ban in a statement that called the fans’ behavior “egregious and unacceptable.”

BRYCE YOUNG WILL START IN WEEK 9

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Carolina Panthers quarterback is scheduled to get his second straight start on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, who expect to have Derek Carr return under center for the first time since Week 5. Andy Dalton was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.

But Carolina coach Dave Canales said he wanted to err on the side of caution and give Dalton another week to recover from the thumb injury he suffered in a car accident.

Meanwhile, Carr practiced on Wednesday for the first time since injuring an oblique muscle in a game at Kansas City on Oct. 7.

Saints coach Dennis Allen says he was “encouraged” by Carr’s form.

WHITE SOX HIRE WILL VENABLE

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago White Sox have hired Will Venable to take over as manager, turning to the former big league outfielder to help turn around the team after a miserable season.

Two people with direct knowledge of the decision confirmed the choice to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the franchise hadn’t announced the move.

Venable is stepping in for Pedro Grifol, who was fired in August with the White Sox on their way to breaking the modern major league record for most losses in a season. With Grady Sizemore serving as interim manager, the club finished with a 41-121 record. Venable was an associate manager for Texas for the past two years.

MCDAVID WILL MISS 2-3 WEEKS

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Connor McDavid is expected to miss two-to-three weeks with an ankle injury. The Edmonton Oilers announced the injury timeline on Wednesday. McDavid, the reigning playoff MVP who led Edmonton to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, was injured Monday night when he was tripped and went left skate first into the boards on his first shift at Columbus.

The team sent him home to get evaluated, sowing fears that it might be a long-time absence for the undisputed best player in hockey. McDavid had 10 points in his first nine games this season before being injured.
