According to MLB insider Ken Rosenthal, Chicago might be willing to go out and add a starting pitcher at the trade deadline. Now, the key part of this report is the White Sox are looking to add a controllable starter. That means they aren’t looking for a rental like Madison Bumgarner or maybe even a Marcus Stroman who has one year of arbitration left after this. Because they are looking for someone they can keep for a few years, that could mean some of their top prospects could be available and the White Sox have some very good prospects in Dylan Cease, Luis Robert and Nick Madrigal....

The Blue Jays trailed the Rays by four runs entering the ninth inning, but rallied to score four and extend play. Teoscar Hernandez secured an impressive 10-9 comeback victory by blasting a walkoff home run in the 12th inning. The 26-year-old outfielder went 2 for 6 at the plate and notched two home runs on the day. He has 14 on the year and helped Toronto end a two-game losing streak....

Orioles utilityman Jonathan Villar hit MLB’s 6,106th home run of the year Wednesday, which broke the 2017 single-season record of 6,105. Coming into Wednesday’s games, MLB teams needed to hit a mere 21 homers to tie the record and 22 to break it. It didn’t take long. Marcus Semien tied the record with his home run off of Astros starter Jose Urquidy and then a few minutes later Villar’s broke it....

On Wednesday, police in the port city of Timaru on New Zealand’s South Island spotted Charlie Durham driving his scooter on the sidewalk at what they considered a dangerous speed. Officers turned their patrol car’s lights on and cut across traffic to apprehend Durham, who is a double amputee. But instead of stopping, the 60-year-old motored across the street to the opposite sidewalk and kept on going. When police attempted to block a side road, he swerved around their car and kept going....

A mom has taken to Mumsnet to ask whether or not she was being unreasonable for wanting to text a school mom who ignored her four-year-old daughter at a birthday party, and users urged her to let it go, for her daughter’s sake. In the post, shared on the social media platform on Monday, under the username Happymom92, she explained that her sister took her daughter to the trampoline park while she was at work, and to their surprise, they found a group of children from her school celebrating a birthday by the cafe, which she hadn’t been invited to....

In a post shared on Reddit on Wednesday, the mom, who goes by the username u/TAMommaof3, explained that she and her husband had their now 18-year-old child when they were 17, and since then they’ve worked their way up to a life of luxuries. When her son, Matt, was 11, he had a “complicated personality change”, so they moved him to a private school, and according to the post, “maybe the contact with other teenagers brought out a selfish and elitist side of him....

Leah Ova, who lives in San Francisco, regularly travels by air to the East Coast to see family and flies over to Europe where her husband is originally from. “As much as I’d like to stay home for the holidays, we’re often traveling to spend time with our families,” she told Newsweek. “This was one of those trips.” Already dealing with the stress of navigating young kids on and off planes and in and out of airports, on this occasion Ova’s journey was made more complicated when she discovered an unknown man sitting in one of the five seats the family had booked for their trip....

Posted on Mumsnet on June 15, user giraffes2021 shared the story hoping for some advice. She wrote: “So holiday booked gone to check-in and select seats and there are no seats next to each other and I’ve [got] a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old. What happens what do I do?” “How come you didn’t get a seat choice before you made payment?” asked a commenter on the now-viral post. One reply said: “If you wanted seats together you should have paid for them and chose them when you booked the flight....

It’s been a brutal preseason for Baltimore, which lost three of its top-four RBs to season-ending injuries and first-round WR Rashod Bateman (core) for at least three games. Look for Lamar Jackson to heap more onto his shoulders and for the offense to lean on its bread and butter. Naming Jackson your captain requires roster sacrifices, but it’s worth the risk-reward. Here are the most notable scoring setting of DraftKings Showdowns: It’s full-point PPR, and there are three-point bonuses for 300 passing yards, 100 rushing yards, and 100 receiving yards....

SHIFT YOUR MONEY AROUND: If you’ve got stocks in your retirement accounts and bonds and mutual funds in regular taxable accounts, trade places. Here’s why: stock dividends and gains will now be taxed at a maximum rate of 15 percent. That’s a good deal; far better than the 25 percent or higher rate that will eventually be levied against your tax-deferred earnings. Interest from bonds and real-estate-investment trusts, gains from stocks held less than a year and fast-trading stock funds will still be taxed at your regular income-tax rate....

Before now, monkeypox was only ever recorded in areas of Central and Western Africa, making the current outbreak highly unusual. Monkeypox has caused epidemics before, but the virus only caught global attention when it was confirmed to be spreading widely. UCLA epidemiology professor Dr. Anne Rimoin told NPR that the virus has been a “potential problem for decades.” However, responses were only initiated when it spread outside of rural Africa....
