“I’ll go by something I’ve learned to trust, which is (Charlotte manager) Wes Helms’ reports every time someone comes up from Charlotte, it’s right on, whether it’s a player or a pitcher,” La Russa said. “And he reports that Eloy is moving well in the outfield, so I think we have the freedom to probably just get really close with (head athletic trainer) Dr. (James) Kruk here and see what’s best.

Three men were injured in a shooting in the East Garfield Park neighborhood around 12:45 p.m. Sunday, police said.

Cohen’s numbers fell off the following season when he had just 669 yards from scrimmage despite recording 79 catches and 64 carries. Before his ACL injury last season, he had 14 carries for 74 yards and six receptions for 41 yards. The Bears signed him to a three-year, $17.25 million contract extension a week before his knee injury occurred.
Details of the shooting were widely circulated because it happened just three blocks away and about 10 minutes before another shooting in which five people were wounded. That attack, in the 1400 block of South Ridgeway Avenue, left four teenagers wounded, ages 14, 15, 17 and 18, as well as a 22-year-old man. All of those victims were expected to survive, including the 15-year-old boy who was an innocent bystander who was shot while seated in his father’s vehicle, police have said.

It was kind of like uplifting to me.
