But beyond that, the plan also is to spotlight the atrophying disease that cut him down, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The hope is this will raise awareness and funds for ALS research, support those the disease affects and acknowledge efforts to pursue a cure.
On April 2, Nelson’s older sister, Sharon Nelson-Cruikshank, 68, died of lung cancer. On the same day, Sanders, 87, was in the hospital for tests for several medical issues, but his family expected him out that day, Nelson said. Sanders frequently asked his wife about Nelson-Cruikshank. After learning his daughter had died, Sanders, whom Nelson described as an honorable man who loved his wife and children, also died, just 13 hours later.
The Washington Football Team released Moses, 30, last month after signing former Bears left tackle Charles Leno. Washington is expected to start Leno at left tackle and rookie Sam Cosmi, a second-round pick, at right tackle. Moses started the last 96 regular-season games for Washington, and 95 of those starts came at right tackle. He was pressed into action at left tackle for one game last season, and his only start as a rookie in 2014 came at left tackle. So Moses has two more NFL starts at left tackle than the Bears’ entire current collection of offensive linemen. Washington didn’t need Moses at left tackle when he broke into the starting lineup because Trent Williams was in place then. Some believe he has the ability to play left tackle, but he’s definitely better at right tackle. If the Bears sign Moses, he probably would be in the mix at left tackle in the event the team doesn’t believe rookie Teven Jenkins is ready to play on the quarterback’s blind side. But Jenkins will be given every opportunity to nail down the starting job at left tackle.
Brenly, who managed in Arizona from 2001-04, has a record of totally unnecessary comments about non-white players. In 2019, he said that “it might be easier to run the bases if he didn’t have that bike chain around his neck,” about Fernando Tatis Jr.
“Move on,” said Diamond DeShields, who led the Sky with 26 points. “You cannot get caught up in things like this because interest compounds in this league. Like I said, we’re still optimistic about our team and what we have and the pieces coming back. Trying to use each and every game as a lesson.”
The Indians tied it on a two-out RBI single by Harold Ramírez in the third. Hedges gave them the lead an inning later with the two-run homer to left-center. José Ramírez added an RBI double later in the inning, the final run charged to Cease, to make it 6-3.

“Fundamentally, I go back to what puts us in the best position to win ballgames and are we being able to execute on that, and that’s what the clubhouse has been completely unified and focused on,” Hahn said “I know there’s been other noise and distractions, understandably so, especially with the injuries, but they’ve been great in terms of remaining focused on the matter at hand and winning the ballgame. If something happens, they are able to turn the page pretty quickly.”
Ross didn’t acquiesce to Rizzo’s request, but the Cubs slugger was back in the lineup Tuesday night after being sidelined the previous six games because of lower back tightness. The Cubs went 5-1 during Rizzo’s absence, aided by Kris Bryant’s versatility and ability to play first base and call-ups Patrick Wisdom and Rafael Ortega complementing a lineup that has found a groove since its early season slump.
“That’s how confident I feel about my pitches right now,” he said. “Learning how to manipulate my slider, how to shape it, how to go from 82 (mph) or 84 to 89 with the same pitch, it’s a huge deal because people think it’s the same pitch. ‘Oh, no, he’s just throwing his sliders.’
