Los Angeles Dodgers face MLB inquiry into team doctor while Yamamoto nears perfect game

Major League Baseball announced it will interview Los Angeles Dodgers team doctor Neal ElAttrache about his alleged role in UFC star Conor McGregor’s use of performance‑enhancing drugs after McGregor’s leg fracture. ElAttrache, who also serves the Los Angeles Rams, confirmed he wrote a letter supporting a therapeutic‑use exemption for McGregor and said he did not prescribe hormones or steroids. MLB officials said the interview is to determine whether any rules were violated and whether similar treatment could be applied to baseball players.

On the field, Dodgers right‑hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto carried a perfect‑game bid into the eighth inning and a no‑hit bid into the ninth against the Chicago White Sox, leading Los Angeles to a 7‑1 victory. Yamamoto retired the first 23 batters, struck out seven, and was lifted after a solo home run by Tristan Peters broke up the no‑hitter. Max Muncy hit two two‑run homers, Shohei Ohtani homered in his return from knee inflammation, and the Dodgers snapped the White Sox’s eight‑game home‑winning streak.
