Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:19:36 GMT

CLEVELAND — The Twins are just days away from getting one infielder back and a couple of weeks away from having another potentially return.After spending a week rehabbing with the Triple-A Saints, infielder Kyle Farmer will return to the Twins in the coming days, possibly as soon as Tuesday. While Farmer is on the verge of concluding his rehab assignment, top prospect Royce Lewis is just about to start one.Lewis, who had surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament last year, has been rehabbing his knee in Fort Myers, Fla. Starting Thursday, he’ll be out on an official assignment, starting first at Double-A. From there, he’s expected to progress to Triple-A St. Paul.A rehabbing position player is allowed 20 days before returning, and Lewis, whom the Twins transferred to the 60-day injured list before the season, is not eligible to return until May 29 at the very earliest — coincidentally, one year from the day he tore his ACL crashing into the outfield wall to make a catch.Th...

Newsom blasts Texas Gov. Abbott in wake of state's recent gun violence

In the wake of another deadly mass shooting in the United States, California Governor Gavin Newsom took to social media this weekend to call out Republicans who he believes have stood idly by as lives continue be lost at the hands of armed gunmen."This is freedom?? To be shot at a mall? Shot at school? Shot at church? Shot at the movies? We have become a nation that is more focused on the right to kill than the right to live," Gov. Newsom wrote on Twitter.The comments were made in the hours following a mass shooting at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas, in which a gunman opened fire at shoppers, killing eight and wounding seven more. The gunman, 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia, was killed by an officer who was at the mall on an unrelated call.Investigators said Garcia used an AR-style rifle in the Dallas suburb shooting and was also believed to have interacted with neo-Nazi and white supremacist posts on social media.Texas Governor Greg Abbott called the massacre an "unspeakable tragedy," ...

You’re going to win a couple in a row, back and forth. I don’t think I would characterize our team as anything after five weeks.”Milwaukee (19-15) got two-run home runs from William Contreras (his first) in the second inning and Willy Adames (his sixth) in ...
