After the game, manager Brandon Hyde described him as “day to day right now.”During a first-inning at-bat, Mountcastle grabbed his shoulder after swinging and fouling off a pitch before eventually earning a walk. He was assessed by training staff at first base, but remained in the game until the third inning, when Ramón Urías pinch hit and replaced him at first base. It marked the 12th time in his career that Urías has played first base, all this season. Later, Ryan O’Hearn played first as Urías moved to third.In the locker room Wednesday night, Mountcastle said his shoulder “popped” after his first-inning swing and that he would receive some imaging Thursday.

Son of Aung Sang Suu Kyi is worried about her health in detention and about Myanmar’s violent crisis

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:25:25 GMT

BANGKOK (AP) — The younger son of ousted Myanmar leader Aung Sang Suu Kyi says he has always avoided talking to the media, but this time is different. He’s increasingly worried about his imprisoned 78-year-old mother’s health and about Myanmar’s violent political crisis, which he calls desperate.“I’d just really like to have some form of contact with her so that I know that she’s OK, because at the moment she has no access to her legal counsel,” Kim Aris said Wednesday in a video interview with The Associated Press from his home in London.“She has no access to her personal doctors. She’s not allowed any visitors, as far as I’m aware. She’s not even allowed to mingle with the other prisoners, which means she’s basically under a form of solitary confinement.”Suu Kyi was arrested in 2021 when the army seized power from her democratically elected government. She has since been prosecuted and convicted on more than a dozen charges for offenses her supporters say were concocted to k...

For several episodes this fall, ’60 Minutes’ will become 90 minutes

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:25:25 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — The iconic stopwatch won’t be reset, but for six episodes this fall, “60 Minutes” will become 90 minutes.The CBS newsmagazine is stretching on some Sundays when CBS airs an NFL doubleheader, starting Oct. 8. Often, the show doesn’t air until 7:30 p.m. on the East Coast those nights (it usually starts at 7 p.m.).The request to Bill Owens, the show’s executive producer, came from top CBS executive George Cheeks, and predated the strikes that have paralyzed Hollywood and left networks looking for more content. Owens said he needed to weigh whether the three extra hours across the six episodes would dilute the broadcast.“My job is to protect the place,” he said. “I don’t ever want to harm a hair on the head of ‘60 Minutes.’”There will generally be two extra pieces on the 90-minute nights, and correspondents are already lobbying for more time to tell their stories. Extra producers have been brought in. Owens said the additional stories would likely...

ST. LOUIS – Social media posts about barking dogs have things getting out of hand in the Tower Grove South neighborhood. The posts have drawn an outlandish response—not on social media but on a 45-foot stretch of fencing along the yard where the dogs live.“We have barking dogs,” the message reads in black paint on the wooden fence. “Dogs bark.”“I walk my dog at 5 or 6 in the morning. I just come out shaking my head like, ‘What is going on over there?’” neighbor Will Rowe said.The fence message came in response to complaints on Facebook about excessive dog barking coming from the other side of the fence in what is a very dog-friendly neighborhood.No doubt it gets loud.“It’s a bit disruptive, but I have earplugs that I put in,” one neighbor said.“I feel like it’s not intentional at all,” said another.
