Can Yankees CF Harrison Bader provide another spark off the IL?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:06:25 GMT

The last time the Yankees activated Harrison Bader, the center fielder provided an immediate jolt.The team had been in the midst of a scuffling stretch that ended with four consecutive losses from April 28 through May 1. The lineup — also without Aaron Judge due to a hip strain — scored a total of six runs in those games.But the Yankees won Bader’s first two contests back from an oblique injury suffered in spring training, and he hit his first home run of the season on May 5. In addition to stabilizing the middle of the outfield with his elite defense, Bader also slashed .429/.448/.893 with two triples, three homers and 11 RBI over his first eight games of the season, a period that saw the Yankees go 6-2.Bader hit .290/.315/.565 with five longballs and 17 RBI over his first 20 games, and he ended up with a .267/.295/.511 slash line, six homers, 19 RBI and six stolen bases over 26 games before a hamstring strain forced him back to the injured list on May 29.The Yank...

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu defends use of lights and sirens in police escort crash

Two weeks after her police escort crossed on a red light and collided with another vehicle, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said it was “standard practice” for emergency lights and sirens to be activated when transporting dignitaries through traffic.Wu said video footage provided to her office shows that the Boston police officer, Keyanna Smith, came to a complete stop at the intersection prior to going through the red light, and followed department protocols “as laid out for the use of sirens.”While she feels elected officials should have to experience the same everyday inconveniences as residents, Wu said it’s “fairly standard practice” for the dignitary protection team “to activate lights and sirens to move through traffic smoothly when getting to a destination.”“Everyone else is stuck in traffic and that is something that is unusual and I think should and is used sparingly, but the reality of being mayor and one of the unique parts of this job is I do have to get all around the city in...

Diabetes hasn’t stopped Adam Duvall, who hopes to help others battling disease

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:06:25 GMT

Adam Duvall has overcome plenty of adversity in his career.The Red Sox outfielder was an 11th-round draft pick who grinded for six years before establishing himself as a big league regular. He’s been traded, non-tendered and in recent years has worked his way back from a pair of major wrist injuries.Yet none of that compares to the daily battle he’s been fighting for more than 11 years, and which he’ll continue to fight for the rest of his life.Duvall was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2012, and at the time he was entering his third season of professional baseball as a 23-year-old in the San Francisco Giants organization. Duvall said in retrospect there had been signs and symptoms much earlier, but receiving the news was life-changing and added a completely new dimension to his transition to High-A ball.“I had to learn on the fly. I got diagnosed during spring training so I had to learn how to manage it during the season,” Duvall said. “That wa...
