CINCINNATI -- Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton was placed in the concussion protocol program after getting hit by a fly ball that deflected off left fielder Adam Duvalls glove during Wednesdays game against the Chicago Cubs.The hit, which came off the bat of Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo, resulted in a three-run, inside-the-park home run.Hamilton and Duvall?were converging on Rizzos line drive to left center field in the first inning when the ball deflected off Duvalls glove, hitting Hamilton in the face.Hamilton was on the ground as the ball rolled to the wall in left field. Rizzo circled the bases for an inside-the-park home run, the first of his career.We both called for it at the same time, Duvall said. I thought we were going to collide. I didnt take my eye off the ball, but I mightve flinched a little bit. It hit him pretty good. It ended up rolling pretty far.Rizzo said he couldnt remember the last time he circled the bases that way.Maybe Little League? he said. Nothing like that. Ill take it.It was the Cubs first inside-the-park homer since 2011, when Tony Campana circled the bases, also against Cincinnati.Earlier this month, Hamilton was on the seven-day disabled list because of a concussion he suffered sliding into third base.Reporters could see a noticeable knot on the side of Hamiltons head Wednesday after the game, but he did not speak to the media.The Cubs beat the Reds 9-2 on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Fresh off his Olympic silver medal, Juan Martin del Potro will return to the US Open for the first time in three years after receiving a wild-card invitation from the U.S. Tennis Association on Tuesday.Del Potro missed more than two years worth of major tournaments because of three operations on his left wrist, returning to Grand Slam action at Wimbledon in June.His ranking was too low to gain direct entry into the field at Flushing Meadows for the years last Grand Slam tournament, which starts in New York on Aug. 29. He is 141st this week.On Sunday, del Potro lost to Andy Murray in the mens final at the Rio de Janeiro Games, getting a silver to add to the bronze he won for Argentina at the 2012 London Olympics. It was quite a run for del Potro in Brazil: With his terrific forehand in top form, he stunned 12-time major champion Novak Djokovic in the first round and 14-time major champion Rafael Nadal in the semifinals.If he stays fit, Murray said about del Potro, theres no reason why he cant be up at the top of the game.Seven years ago at age 20, del Potro beat five-time US Open champion Roger Federer in five sets in the US Open final and was considered the next big thing in tennis.
