Phillies Face Interesting Decision Regarding Backup Catcher
The Philadelphia Phillies will have an interesting decision to make in terms of their backup catcher. With J.T. Realmuto expected to return from the injured list soon, the team will have to choose between two options. Both Garrett Stubbs and Rafael Marchán have compelling cases to be the Phillies’ backup catcher going forward. In this case, minor league options are not a factor because both Stubbs and Marchán are in their last option year. Neither player has more than five years of major league service time, meaning an option being rejected by a player is not a factor.

Trump has given no official info about his medical care for days since an assassination attempt
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Four days after a gunman’s attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally, the public is still in the dark over the extent of his injuries, what treatment the Republican presidential nominee received in the hospital, and whether there may be any long-term effects on his health. Trump’s campaign has refused to discuss his condition, release a medical report or records, or make the doctors who treated him available, leaving information to dribble out from Trump, his friends and family. The first word on Trump’s condition came about half an hour after shots rang out and Trump dropped to the ground after reaching for his ear and then pumped his fist defiantly to the crowd with blood streaming down his face. The campaign issued a statement saying he was “fine” and “being checked out at a local medical facility.” “More details will follow,” his spokesperson said.
