So, it’s just kind of a day to day thing He wanted to come on this trip and start that progresssion towards building up to swings.”Nevin said it is hard to say what Trout’s schedule will be.“Where that puts us, I couldn’t answer that,” Nevin said, “It’s all on how he’s going to feel over the next few days and the next week.”Trout is hitting .263 with 18 homers and 44 RBIs in 82 games this season. “I think right now for his peace of mind he wants to build...Wrestling body explains why it let Russian champions compete at world champs despite pro-war rally

GENEVA (AP) — Three Olympic champions from Russia were cleared to compete at the wrestling world championships this week because they were judged to have been pressured to appear at a pro-war rally in Moscow last year.The United World Wrestling governing body explained Tuesday why Zaurbek Sidakov, Zaur Uguev and Abdulrashid Sadulaev were among the Russian wrestlers who passed vetting to compete as neutral athletes in Belgrade, Serbia, and try to qualify for next year’s Paris Olympics.All three won Olympic gold medals at the Tokyo Games held in 2021 and were paraded on stage at a flag-waving rally at Luzhniki Stadium in March 2022. It was attended by President Vladimir Putin three weeks after he ordered the military invasion of Ukraine.The athletes’ presence there seemed likely to bar their return to competition with neutral status ahead of the Paris Games. The International Olympic Committee advised the governing bodies of each individual sport in March to exclude those who pu...Alberto Fernández apunta contra el FMI y pide el fin de bloqueo contra Cuba ante la Asamblea General de la ONU

(CNN Español) — El presidente de Argentina, Alberto Fernández, dio un discurso este martes ante el pleno de la Asamblea General de la ONU, donde apuntó contra el FMI y, en general, contra “la ingeniería financiera internacional”. “Es hora de promover la justicia social en el mundo”, dijo el primer mandatario.Fernández indicó que “el sistema financiero internacional no demuestra voluntad de adaptarse a un mundo que requiere la equidad que ha perdido, por el contrario, solo busca imponer las mismas políticas ortodoxas que profundizaron la desigualdad y la miseria que vive el mundo”.Además, señaló a los organismos internacionales de crédito de apostar “a la especulación antes que al desarrollo”, de propiciar “la mano de hora barata antes que la dignidad del trabajo”.“El FMI no puede subir sus intereses cada vez que al Reserva Federal de Estados Unidos sube sus tasas para contener la inflación de su país”, sen...UCLA’s D’Anton Lynn is among the first-year coordinators making a quick impact in the Pac-12

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Going back to school has proved to be the right decision for D’Anton Lynn and UCLA.Lynn is in his first season in Westwood as the defensive coordinator after spending his entire coaching career in the NFL. Even though this is his first time leading a defense, Lynn has the 22nd-ranked Bruins playing at a high level as they begin conference play Saturday with a pivotal road contest against No. 11 Utah.The game is one of three Pac-12 matchups between ranked teams, the first time in conference history that has happened. The others are No. 19 Colorado visiting 10th-ranked Oregon and No. 14 Washington State at No. 21 Washington State. It is the second straight week the Pac-12 has had eight teams in The Associated Press Top 25.“It was hard to leave Baltimore, but one thing (Ravens coach John Harbaugh) told me was never turn down an opportunity for growth,” said Lynn, who was with the Ravens for two seasons. “I was going to get a chance to call plays and grow as a coach. ...Chicago Blackhawks to play without a captain this season

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks will not have a captain this season.General manager Kyle Davidson made the announcement on Tuesday. Jonathan Toews captained the team for almost 15 years, but he played his last game with the team in April.“I think we’ve added a lot of experienced leaders, but we’re looking for the collective to find that leadership capability and not just the players that will end up wearing letters on their sweater,” Davidson said. “We’re looking for everyone to step up as we enter the year.”Davidson said Chicago will have a group of alternate captains. That group will be announced later in training camp, which begins this week.The rebuilding Blackhawks are looking for progress after finishing last in the Central Division with a 26-49-7 record.

A coalition of residents from neighborhoods surrounding Franklin Park is calling on the Boston Medical Center to halt its plans to redevelop Shattuck Hospital into a multifaceted campus featuring clinical services, emergency shelters and permanent supportive housing.Instead, the Coalition for Region-Wide Services Beyond Franklin Park says there needs to be a statewide and more decentralized, community-based approach to helping those facing homelessness and substance abuse.“There is no doubt from anyone’s perspective that services are needed for community members, or family members, from all over Massachusetts and in Boston who have these challenges. It’s very apparent,” said Karen Mauney-Brodek, President of the Emerald Necklace Conservancy.“The state never looked at other alternatives to evaluate whether or not the Shattuck site was the best site. It was an assumed site,” Mauney-Brokey told the Herald on Tuesday, before the coalition of concerned community members gathered outside ...Latest news
