The Colorado Rockies cut Jose Reyes Wednesday, owing the shortstop $34 million on his contract (including $22 million in guaranteed salary for 2017), after he completed a 59-day suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s new domestic violence policy. Reyes, 33, went on a 14-day minor league rehab assignment, but the Rockies, who reinstated the four-time All-Star from the restricted list, immediately designated him for assignment rather than activate him, giving the Rockies 10 days to trade or release Reyes . . . The Royals designated infielder Omar Infante for assignment, likely ending the 34-year-old’s unproductive tenure in Kansas City.

WADA: Russia is still obstructing, deceiving
The World Anti-Doping Agency alleged that Russian athletes and government agencies continued to obstruct and deceive drug testers, even as Russia tries to regain its place in Olympic track and field. In a report published two days before a key vote on whether to readmit Russia’s track team for the Rio Olympics, WADA said testers have been intimidated by officials from Russia’s FSB security service and that packages containing samples have been tampered with by Russian customs services. Athletes have repeatedly provided false information about their whereabouts and evaded drug testers at competitions, WADA said. In one case, an unnamed athlete in track and field attempted to give a fake urine sample using ‘‘a container inserted inside her body’’ but was discovered and tested positive when her real urine was examined.
