Sox right fielder Adam Eaton left the game before the sixth with right hamstring tightness, and reliever Michael Kopech fell after delivering a pitch in the seventh and limped off the field as third baseman Yoán Moncada caught a popup for the final out. The Sox said Kopech has a sore left hamstring and both he and Eaton are day to day.

“We will work, in that case, with state officials and follow their lead,” O’Reilly said. “We sit here in May. So there’s a lot of time between now and the preseason for things to evolve. But we, in this case, will really depend on and defer to local and state authorities when it comes to things like that.”

Callaway sent uninvited and sometimes unanswered messages to the women via email, text or social media and asked one to send nude photos in return, according to the report. He often commented on their appearance in a way that made them uncomfortable and on one occasion “thrust his crotch near the face of a reporter” while she interviewed him, The Athletic said.

One of the members of the Oak Ridge Boys asked afterward, “Did you think in your record-breaking game that you would call a balk on somebody?” West said with a laugh. “I said, ‘Not really, but he balked, didn’t he?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ ”

Organizers and the IOC, often citing the authority of the World Health Organization, say the games can be held safely with 15,000 Olympic and Paralympic athletes entering Japan, joined by tens of thousands of judges, officials, sponsors, broadcasters and media.

But Cutler, who made 102 starts over eight seasons with the Bears from 2009-2016, also sees little harm in the team’s current plan to keep rookie Justin Fields behind Andy Dalton until the rookie is better equipped to play, has a firmer grasp of the offense, greater command in the huddle and increased comfort out on the field.

Markkanen, who turned 24 this month, put up career highs in shooting — 48% from the field, 40.2% from 3-point range — while posting career-low averages with 13.6 points and 5.3 rebounds. His shooting accuracy did not outweigh the other limitations in his game, and his playing time dwindled to a career-low 25.8 minutes per game.

There were several issues. The area code selection was inconsistent, including several notable omissions — the Tampa Bay Rays’ hat didn’t include St. Petersburg, where the team’s stadium is located, for example; the Pittsburgh Pirates’ version had no area codes at all.

The team that makes the most sense for Foles is the New York Jets. They’re going to start No. 2 pick Zach Wilson from Day 1 unless training camp and preseason are complete disasters for him. The only other quarterbacks on the roster are James Morgan, a fourth-round pick a year ago, and Mike White, who entered the league in 2019 as an undrafted free agent. The Jets could use a veteran with experience to show Wilson the ropes, help teach him how to study film and be a mentor of sorts. Foles seems like an ideal candidate to be that guy, and having him and Andy Dalton on the Bears roster with Justin Fields is redundant. The Bears would create a salary-cap savings if they can trade Foles after June 1. Maybe the Jets will slow-play things and see if the Bears release Foles, which seems unlikely because even after June 1, that would cost more against their cap than keeping him. The Bears wouldn’t get much for Foles. They acquired him from the Jacksonville Jaguars for a fourth-round pick, and he struggled when he played last season. But a late-round pick would really be a bonus on top of the cap savings they would create. We’ll have to see if something shakes out. I don’t think many (any?) other teams would be in the market for Foles.
