AMES, Iowa (AP) – The Mayo Clinic says Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg is expected to be released on Thursday, less than a week after open-heart surgery. Hoiberg had surgery at the clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, on Friday to replace his aortic valve, a procedure he put off twice during the season.  Hoiberg is expected to need 4-6 weeks of recovery before returning to work.

Hoiberg retired from the NBA following the 2004-05 season following heart issues. He just completed his fifth season at Iowa State, leading the Cyclones to four straight NCAA Tournament appearances and back-to-back Big 12 tournament titles.

Des Moines native Lolo Jones has withdrawn from the 2015 Drake Relays. KCCI-TV says according to Drake Relay officials, Jones, the No. 3 women’s 100-meter hurdler in the world, will not participate in that event or the shuttle hurdle relay, due to a minor injury she suffered during her workouts leading up to the Relays.

Despite Jones’ absence, the women’s Beijing World Championship Preview women’s 100-meter hurdles will feature six of the top 10 hurdlers in the world and defending Relays champion Kristi Castlin along with Olympic gold medalist Dawn-Harper Nelson.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Higher purses have helped the Drake Relays attract some of its deepest fields in recent years. This year’s meet in the Iowa capital will feature many of the world’s best athletes.

Stars like LaShawn Merritt, Javier Culson, Dawn Harper-Nelson and hometown favorite Lolo Jones will headline the field for the 106th annual meet, which begins in earnest Thursday and concludes on Saturday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Yunel Escobar homered to left with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning, then celebrated with a head-first slide into home plate, lifting the Washington Nationals to a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.

It was the second homer of the season for Escobar, who was supposed to be Washington’s second baseman but is filling in at third base while Anthony Rendon is on the disabled list. Escobar connected with the first pitch he saw from Carlos Villanueva (1-1), the seventh pitcher for the Cardinals, who had won five consecutive games.

The Nationals have won five of their past six games to get back to .500 after starting the year 2-6. Aaron Barrett (2-0) earned the win by pitching the 10th.
