Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs signed veteran linebacker Josh Mauga, who missed all of last season with a hip injury, and former Seattle safety Steven Terrell on Thursday. The Chiefs created roster space for him by waiving punter Will Monday. Mauga started 30 games for the Chiefs in 2014 and ’15, but an offseason injury forced him onto the injured reserve list last August. Ramik Wilson wound up starting in his place.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Luke Voit homered and drove in three runs and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Miami Marlins 4-3 Thursday. The Cardinals, who had lost two straight, earned a four-game series split after winning the previous two series against the Diamondbacks and Nationals.

CHICAGO (AP) — Kyle Schwarber returned to the Chicago Cubs following a two-week stint in the minor leagues and started in Thursday’s 11-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, where his offensive struggles continued. Schwarber, batting fifth and playing in left field, went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts. The 24-year-old outfielder was hitting .171 with 12 home runs and 28 RBIs in 64 games before being demoted to Triple-A Iowa.
